My favorite restaurant in Grand Rapids. Highly recommend spaghetti alla vodka with hanger steak in the side. Chefs kiss. My husband and I have never had a bad meal here 🙌

We went here to celebrate our engagement and the staff signed a cookbook and gave it to us as a gift! Also the food is AMAZING. I love to come here during happy hour :)
Grand Rapids - Southern Restaurant & Bar - Tupelo Honey
Eating here helped me discover the first cocktail I ever enjoyed (yes I was in my mid thirties before I started drinking 😂). The pink lady is 🙌. Also alllll the food is delicious.

Butcher's Union | Grand Rapids
Do yourself a favor and get the burger. 🙌 also try to sit in the basement 😍
Scholar | Grand Rapids Restaurant
We love to grab a bite here before going to the movies (when we didn’t have a baby!). I love their French dip, their salmon and the rotating salads. Not a huge fan of the alcoholic drinks.

I am a huge fan of the tacos and guac, my husband loves the margs! The tacos are on the smaller side though and a leeetle pricey.

I have been to Italy and struggle to find pizza in Michigan that can compare. The brick oven pizza at Terra though, it’s fire!
Terra GR: Home
My husband’s favorite pizza, my second favorite (after Terra’s). Detroit style at its best 🙌
Quarantino's
The best smash burgers you will ever have in your entire life. They also have chicken sammie’s, I have never been able to get one because I am always craving the burger but if you do let me know so I can get one next time! The fries are also SO GOOD.
BLACK NAPKIN
Besides dinner (the French dip with a Caesar kale salad being my fav) we recently discovered BRUNCH ON THE WEEKENDS, and holy moly. So so good.
The Winchester - Grand Rapids
My husband loves the gyros and craves the fries, I dream about the taco trio.
Zivio
For a less expensive but also DELICIOUS dining experience, we love the chicken here! They also have flights of drinks that are fun. And outside activities/games for the kids and kids at heart!
