Top 12 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in in Grand Rapids, MI

Adrianne If you are looking for a home style, family breakfast/lunch restaurant this is your place. I stopped in at breakfast time but really wanted a patty melt instead. I was pleasantly surprised when they said their entire me he is available all day. Diane provided exceptional friendly service. The food was hot and fresh. A very good party melt. I prefer a thinner burger patty and this was perfect.

Giovanni Came in on a late Friday night, right after the dinner rush, and the whole place felt calm and unrushed. Started with the 50/50 cocktail, which was balanced and bold. Then got their mushroom pizza: rich, savory, and perfectly cooked with fresh arugula on top. Finished with the Asian salad which had just enough heat to keep things interesting. Tried a bit of the lettuce wraps which were spicy enough to catch me off guard, in a good way. This spot is perfect if youre looking for a chill spot with delicious food and tasty drinks.

Herbal Tea Definitely a great place close to home! When Noco first opened, the timing (kitchen management) really off and recipes were unimpressive. We avoided Noco for this entire time. Recently, we decided to try them again and we are VERY happy that we did! Kitchen management and recipes have definitely improved and we are excited to make Noco a regular place for us. Last night, we went for dinner for my husbands birthday. His cheeseburger was juicy and delicious. The fries were perfect and crispy. My beef/veg soup was as good as the last time I enjoyed it. Love the clear broth and the depth. There were plenty of bits of beef and great veggies. The key is the soup was perfectly seasoned. Nothing worse than overly salted soups and this was perfectly seasoned. It also had fresh garnish and a little tang to it. I couldnt quite tell what gave it the tang but it added more complexity to a beef/veg soup that was refreshing! I have to avoid dairy and very much enjoy eating vegan dishes. Unless you go to a very targeted restaurant, you cannot blame a restaurant for not having a lot of vegetarian or vegan options. I was happily surprised to find options on their menu. I had the Hoppin Jane (vegan) and it was DELISH! (see photo) Not only did it have great texture and balance of flavors, it was HUGE. I can easily get 2-3 meals out of it. Everything came out hot and servings were generous. Service was excellent too. Whenever someone passed our table, items were cleared. Drinks/water were promptly refreshed. Our server (the bartender) did a great job of helping us with our order. My husband also got a free bday dessert, which was such a nice surprise. We got the fresh pan chocolate chip cookie with ice cream on the side (see photo). So nice to get a hot cookie fresh from the oven. It has a softer texture and was not overly sweet. We finished every bite. We always liked the ambiance..elevated cozy. Enjoyable for friends and family and yet nice enough for a special business/company dinner. Looking forward to becoming regulars!

Maria Zimmer Flavorful addition to town!! Was so excited to see a new restaurant opening on Fulton. Their menu rotates weekly, with lunch offerings also offered in evening. Excited to come back for more. Hoping there’s some chicken/turkey lunch options getting added in the future to round out the menu selections :) Had the gumbo and it was wonderful.

Gillian Dowker Phenomenal experience. My husband and I just went for the first time, and WOW! We decided to participate in their "grove for two" experience and it did not disappoint. I will be thinking about this food for awhile. Beautiful ambiance, great drinks, and our server was excellent. Will absolutely be coming back in the future for other special occasions. Highly recommend.

Elizabeth We visited for the first time after church for the brunch. It was so tasty! Henry, our server was attentive and efficient. There were six of us and we tried of variety of things (see pictures) and all were delicious. We will come again!

Rene Jordan Threats We celebrated our daughter’s 40th birthday and wishing her well as she prepared to relocate to another state! This was our first time at this beautiful restaurant! Our servers were magnificent! The food was delicious and beautifully plated! We must have had all the appetizers and they were succulent and crave worthy! We all ordered a variety of entrees from duck, pot roast, fried fish etc. The atmosphere was amazing! There were other birthdays being celebrated and we connected with each other! We all became family in the restaurant on that evening! It was an incredible experience!

Aaron Rigterink We went specifically to try their nachos and they did not disappoint!! My wife and I are trying nachos from various local restaurants and keeping a log of what we thought of them. This place is our new 1st place!! We took a deluxe pizza to go. I tried one piece before leaving. It was good, but not my favorite around.

Melinda Marion Stopped in for a quick meal before heading to Meijer Gardens. Food was awesome, service excellent and loved the high ceilings and all the wood interior.

Jasmine Raphael A beautiful place by the water. The interior decor makes the place look elegant. Went for my third anniversary. The staff was so welcoming and kind. And the food was so good. I would come here again if I lived in the area. You are given great quality food for the price you pay.

Alan Hsieh Out of this world experience. I came late at night and the bartender had as much energy and enthusiasm as if they just opened. Got their THICC burger and it was divine. JOOCY. Yummy. Filling. What more could you ask for? Even though I’ve had a lot of burgers recently come on this one stood out. I got their apple pie and ice cream dessert and that was great too. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Phoenix Swope Restaurant week, day 1! Amazing food. My wife and I had the prix frixe, of course, and loved every bite. Spicy salmon bites, Seoul flounder, and a strawberry mousse (second strawberry dish today, coincidentally). I think my favorite was actually the salmon bites, but everything was good. The staff were excellent!
