Zack EastJuly 6, 2013Vegetarians, there's little here for us but most items can be made meat free just by asking. The coffee is top of the line Ferris coffee, and the veggies are all super fresh and robust!
hafeez rajiAugust 29, 2011lots of love goes into the food here, I got the 4th street special but would have been happy with any it seems, they have english muffin bread, ENGLISH MUFFIN bread, damn good Read more- Holli McPhersonOctober 12, 2013The best breakfast in town. Get here early, very popular on the weekends. Great gluten free bread and amazing corn beef hash!
Try the 1St Street - So good!!! Egg whites and grilled red skin potato and toast and the ham is always amazing!!!
Sharon CDecember 7, 2015Yummy Irish and polish skillet. Maybe next time I will get corned beef hash by itself since not enough in the Irish skillet
Laken AntcliffMarch 24, 2013The best homemade biscuits and gravy ever! Also, try the dill pickle soup for lunch. Sounds weird, but its awesome!
AMAZING Polish food on top of the homemade corned beef hash and even gluten free toast!
Will WeatherheadMarch 12, 2013Ala carte Black Beans and Rice. $1.95 for a great meal in the morning. Beans, salsa, rice, cheese.
Kate KlempOctober 23, 2011The best Polish Mexican restaurant in the city. The 8th street classic for breakfast or the polish Reuben with fresh homemade sauerkraut for lunch
Good food, the owner always works the room to be sure guests are happy...a favorite spot!
Amby BorrelloDecember 15, 2012They should really think about expanding their inside dinning. It's always worth the wait, but it would be nice for more indoor seating.- Everything is good, but just to change things up-be sure to get the list of specials-always something a little different and always good!
- Try the Cuban Skillet - This scramble mix comes with potatoes, ham, onions, salsa, and black beans. It's great.
MichiganGoatMay 9, 2015Everything just don't wear tight pants because you will be stuffed and happy when you leave
Chris MakiJanuary 15, 2011It's a little awkward that the waitress is forced to run through the list of the daily specials. It takes way to long and everyone involved dies a little inside during the process.
Kristin WeisAugust 8, 2014I always for no meat or a substitution for the meat and the waitresses insist they can't do that so I have to talk with the manager each time. Decide what your policy is and make it consistent!
Paige RubleskiJanuary 17, 2018Used to work here! The manager Fran is not keen on following health codes. She contaminates new food with old food and puts her bare hands in things and eats them. Wait staff is nice and quick.
Deanna WashburnMarch 21, 2013Omg so much food. It was actually fresh and served warm cant wait to come back :)
They offer gluten free bread at no extra charge! This is now my favorite place.
My favorite breakfast place in Grand Rapids. Shhh - keep it a secret!- Try the Egg Whites And Ham - 3 egg whites and ham. Mmmmm oh and a slice of bacon
Our breakfast was very tasty & had generous proportions- Holli McPhersonJanuary 23, 2014The best breakfast ever!! Corned beef hash the way it's supposed to be!
It's all delicious. Had all the st's. Say hi to Fran, she's rad.
- 2nd Street is the best street. Also 12th street is awesome.
- Chris MakiSeptember 19, 2010Great food for very a very reasonable price. It's about time a place like this opened on the west side.
Brad AshtonAugust 25, 2011I don't know what coffee they use, but It's the only place I drink coffee! Great breakfast for the money.
Tyler YaegerFebruary 8, 2014I had a hard time finding the place. I didn't know which sid of town to go to.
This place is great. Staff is super nice. Get the 6th st. It's delish.
Always make sure to ask for the specials. They are usually fantastic.
The Cubano sandwich is great. Everything is homemade and wonderful.
Tom SApril 24, 2013Eggs were runny, toast burnt and the waitress (Julia) clearly doesn't like her job
7th street! More good than you can eat for cheap!
