    2nd time here!! Food and drinks were amazing!!! But the staff sucked!!! Well we sat at the bar. So the bartenders!!! Not friendly at all. Had to flag them down to order food, get condiments for the food, get more water. Never got any silverware or napkins. Also didn't know if you can order food online. She had her thumb up her a$$ the hole time. It was not busy at all. We stayed and it got busier, she did do a lot better once it got busier! Was my birthday and I could tell it was my birthday and no single worker ever told me happy birthday! The other shift after about 5pm ish was a lot better!!

    Still good 11 years later. This is the place to go for arcade games, stuffed burgers and good beer/ whiskey options. Unabashedly a hipster/ alternative vibe that I love. I didn't have time to wait 20-25min for a burger because I had to make a show at the Pyramid Scheme across the street and opted to try the cubano nachos. Delicious and fun authentic flavors with a satisfying crunch. You can share it, but I ate most of it as my dinner and loved it. I guess branching out from the amazing stuffed burgers was well worth it. Everything here goes well with a beer or whiskey. Cheers!

    11/10 service and atmosphere. The artwork and decor is super neat. Best burgers in the city- cannot be overstated. When my friends visit from out of town, they beg for Stella's!

    Mr. Fables burger with Impossible patty $15.00 (not sure if there was an upcharge for the impossible patty).

    I genuinely can't think of a complaint about this place. There's pretty much a vegetarian option to go with each plate. We did the Mr. Fables with an Impossible patty and it was great! I do wish there was more of the dirty martini mayo. That sauce was SO good. The Chronic Fries were a fun surprise and a great pair with the burger. The Vegan Chick(pea) Wings with Sweet Chili sauce were awesome. It was a great shareable portion and were really tasty. The ambiance is the star here. Lots of fun decor and the service was friendly and quick.

    Government Cheese Burger with Chronic Fries

    We came in on Tuesday, 2/18/25 for a 6pm reservation. We've made the mistake of trying to eat in downtown Grand Rapids before a show and couldn't get a table anywhere. So tonight we planned ahead! The last time we were here was probably 8 or 9 years ago. The menu is smaller than we remembered and they don't have bacon popcorn anymore! But there are some solid options and some great vegan entrees too! We were sat immediately and our server Bailey was fantastic, she came right over with waters. She answered a couple whiskey questions and came back a shortly to take our order. We both ordered the Government Cheese burger and it was delicious! The burger is stuffed with American cheese and had American on it as well. The onion ring was a nice touch! Of course we had chronic fries and my lips are still burning, but oh man they tasty! We were seated next to the pinball machines and other arcade games and it got pretty loud a couple times. There were more kids than I expected, and that definitely increased the volume. It wasn't packed and maybe we didn't need reservations, but I'm glad we had them for peace of mind.

    Consistently solid vegetarian/vegan takeout! It has been a while since I've dined in at Stella's, but as a vegetarian who craves a buffalo wing every now and then, their Poor Man's Wings (bomb potato wedges, do not skip these), and "Chickpea Wings" (fka Blessed Black Wings) hit the spot every time.

    Skrimp Rangoon Mac and Cheese (subbed vegan chicken)

    After hearing so many good things from friends, I finally got to try Stella's! I was planning a nice dinner for my friend's birthday and unfortunately the places we chose got booked or didn't take reservations. I called Stella's and talked to Tony, the manager and he was kind enough to make an exception even though they don't take reservations. I almost cried when he said that because I had been calling a couple different places at this point and his kindness made my night. I'm glad I got his name because when I got there and mentioned my reservation, the staff were confused. They called Tony and confirmed and was able to clear a table for my group though. This place is popular and there's limited seating so I do recommend calling ahead to check the wait time. I heard they were famous for their burgers so I got the mission impossible Hawaii because regardless of what people say, I love my pineapple on things. The burger was amazing, but I found out the real star was the Mac and cheese. My friend had ordered their vegan Mac and cheese but since they were out of the shrimp, she subbed it for vegan chicken and I tried a bite of her food and fell in love. I ended up ordering their Mac and cheese to go. As someone who can't have dairy, this vegan Mac and cheese was better than the one with real cheese! Although I had a pretty great experience, my other friend did let me know that she wasn't a fan of The Mr. Fables burger. She brought leftovers home and when she had it the next day, she said it made her stomach hurt. I'm a little disappointed about that because they're famous for their burgers so I hope it isn't a frequent issue.

    Very eclectic and interactive establishment . The lighting was very dim and red. We were greeted when we arrived and seated right away. I liked that there were games to play everywhere. Games like pacman and pinball. Old school type of games. I really enjoy that. The menu offered a lot of gluten free and vegan options as well. The Full Montie nachos were super yummy spicy for being gluten free. I also enjoyed the chicken wings. I ordered the dry and dipped them in ranch. I was told the French fries were great here as well but didn't have them so I can not report. We enjoyed lemon drop shots and margaritas. Total bill without tip $103.88.

    Great venue in downtown Grand Rapids
    Gerard S.

    An easy, four star choice for Stella's lounge. Can't miss on the stuffed cheeseburgers. Wide selection of brew and plenty of spirits to choose from . Quality friendly superb service on my visit. Ironic that among the retro pinball and video games from decades ago, there is a Bitcoin ATM which i felt was somewhat poetic in this fabulous downtown Grand Rapids establishment. Everything hit on all cylinders, with one exception. Skip the mac & cheese with until they ditch the Cheez-Its toppings.

    Is there a kids menu?

    They do not have a kids menu. We've found they have enough options for all though, even our kiddos.

    What time is the kitchen open?

    Is Stella's a fun bar in GR for a post-Wedding nightcap for like 20 late 20 to early 30yr olds? Is there a jukebox? Cover on Saturday nights?

    Most definitely. There's no cover as as far as I'm aware. Yes to a jukebox.

    What time does brunch end?

    Their web site states 3PM

    Is the patio dog friendly?

I was surprised at how long it took for the 2 hosts to greet us - as we were standing directly in front of them. They were talking to one another, and it was probably work related, but to just stand there staring at them for a couple minutes while they ignored us was awkward. When they finally talked to us they weren't very friendly. Anyway, we made our way to the bar and it was full except for 3 seats. I think the bartender waiting on us was new. He seemed like he was pretty overwhelmed/in the weeds. He greeted us quickly and brought us waters when he did, which I appreciated. I ordered a Blackeberry Bourbon Sour and my Mr had Paloma Nuestra. We both enjoyed our drinks they were refreshing and well crafted. For dinner I had a really hard time deciding! I wanted to try so many things! Our bartender said his favorite thing in the menu is the chicken and rice bowl. That was something I was considering and decided to go with that. Excellent recommendation! The chicken was flavorful and so tender. The hot peppers were a nice touch. There was a lot of food too! I couldn't finish it all. Mr had the hanger steak that was served with mushroom and asparagus risotto. He said the risotto was the best he's ever had, and I agree. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and so was the steak. The space is really nice, felt intimate without being overcrowded. We are looking forward to coming back!

The service is decent, the space is comfortable for a downtown spot on Monroe Center. When I visit, I focus solely on the burgers and I've never been disappointed. The 'Meat Wagon', topped with ribeye, ham and bacon just wants to cuddle your belly from the inside. The 'Otto Von Burger' topped with a fried egg and bacon is one of the best examples of its kind. The 'Alabamer' is great when you're craving pulled pork and bacon on your burger. If you just want a traditional burger, you have that option and won't be disappointed. Also, the loaded fries are solid, but personally, I would pass on the fancier offerings. Remember: Burgers over fancy apps and skip the salads and you'll be fine.

We ordered arancini as a starter that came out tasting crisp like a tator tot, but the shape and taste actually reminded me more of a fried tteokbokki (Korean rice noodle) known for its deliciousness through its texture highlighting the spicy sauce. This would've been amazing had they had a nice gochujang mayo combo to dip this crispy treasure in, rather than ranch and pizza sauce. Next we tried the tikka masala pizza. Fun and inventive idea... much better than the naan pizza I had in Muskegon... however the sauce didn't taste as good as my homemade tikka masala base and though the pizza was tasty with varied texture, we found it somewhat lacked seasoning especially on the protein.
