Found a new nice breakfast place at grand rapids. I choose a polish combination breakfast. not familiar polish breakfast, Sauerkraut is sour and lightly sweetness. a polish sausage is chewee, it is my taste. dumpling inside may be kind cheese? also nice. The Cusine looked big portion for me, but finish them all easly. Server is very kind and nice as well. I think I found new optinity to last breakfast for the grandeapid trip next.
Amazing place. Very busy but the staff hustles and the wait is worth it. Charming old building with lots of character. Local sausage for the polish dishes and the homemade corned Beef Hash is amazing. Large portions and reasonable prices. Have to park on the street and may have a short walk but after all that food it's welcomed.
We are in 7th Street Heaven! Wow, what a great meal. So. Much. Food. Service was fast, very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. We would love a little more space. Close quarters makes it really noisy and not as private as you might wish sometimes. But we loved our morning and food. We will be back as often as we can!
This was an unexpected stop this morning but they didn't disappoint! The food was excellent and service was quick, friendly & efficient. They were a totally full dining area with lines of people waiting and we got seated quickly, our waitress was helpful. The good was great! Especially enjoyed the link sausage....with a slight kick and the French toast. Parking was a pain.. but I expected that. Would definitely go back. Pleasant atmosphere. ????
A super amazing place, great food and great service. Can get busy, so remember that. Food is 10/10
Went to Grand Rapids for a wedding. We stopped at this little place that was a Google search of "Places to eat near me." Can I say... OMG!!
We went to the restaurant for breakfast. I could smell wonderful smells outside... but when you walk in, you are immediately taken aback by the wonderful aroma of bacon. Now, you don't have to eat it to appreciate the smell of it.
Anyway... you pass by the kitchen on your left where you can see everyone hard at work preparing and making the food orders. They were just busting the tickets out so effortlessly; such a great team of people working together.
We sat at a booth in the corner near a window where we people-watched and could observe the whole restaurant.
The servers/wait staff were all smiles and so quick to refill drinks, accommodating requests of other patrons,
Let's jump to the menu. Okay, soooo.... I don't know where to start. Everything looked and sounded amazing in the description. It was so hard to choose. I can't remember what I ordered, but you can look at my pictures and show the staff or read and compare. What I ordered was ONE meal. And the rye toast wasn't even pictured.
Food portions are amazing! You could split your meal, but I opted to enjoy every single bit!!
Pricing for meals is fair for quality, quantity, and flavor!
Wow , everybody's talking about how good the food was and how affordable it was, was at the wrong location ? ! ? Two burgers a side and a couple of drinks over $40 . The burger tasted like it was previously cooked and then warmed up once it was ordered and the onion rings tasted like they were cooked in old oil, and had a burnt taste. Would have liked to have a refill on the drinks since the cup was all ice, barely got two swallow from it.
If you want to eat here for breakfast on the weekend, be prepared to wait. It is worth the wait. It's worth the drive and out of the heart of downtown.
When you get your seat, the service is excellent and comes with a pleasant smile. Whatever the building used to be, they did a great job making it comfortable with an aged feel.
The food? Top notch breakfast with some Polish options. The fried potatoes are terrific. The skillets are overloaded with eggs, but still yummy.
Come, wait, and enjoy.
