    The naan club and the appetizer mushrooms. Both tasty and ample portions. But the real game-changer was Jessie, our server. We'll return if we can have her take our table. She deserves a raise!

    Steak and eggs is the best dish on the brunch menu, closely followed by the Green Eggs 'n' Hamms. Skip the Royal Bee cocktail, it's overpoweringly gingery. And I love ginger.

    Outdoor seating is fantastic. Great beer selection. Wings are very good but actual wings, not like BWW wings.

    Most delicious caprese ever-- Thai caprese salad, with heirloom tomatoes. Ruby red grapefruit added extra kick!

    The menu changes all the time, so ignore all the tips that recommend a specific dish that no longer exists. This place has a creative kitchen, so try whatever looks good.

    Blue/Bacon burger was really good. Not the best in the city, but still excellent. Get some fries with their amazing Ranch dressing too.

    Everything is great here, but must mention that the music is better than a playlist than I'd have at home. Props to the dj or pandora station.

    Best local food and Beer in Grand Rapids. But the Mimosa and Bloody Mary Bar for Sundays is a "must go"

    Took me 30 minutes before I realized it shared the same name as the Shaun of the Dead pub. Also good food and nice staff.

    Servers recommend hovering by tables as they're finishing if you want to grab one. Slightly awkward but when it's busy you gotta do what ya gotta do...
