Give them your business if you have a hankering for some bacon and sausage!

Five stars across the board.!!!! Listen people !!! this is…read morethe best kept secret restaurant joint in all the Grand Rapids. I don't know how old is place is or how long it has been in business ?? but this is theeeee hole in the wall as we like to say it!! convenient located in Grand Rapids in a small local neighborhood absolutely awesome fast service ,very attentive service ,waitresses were fun, shouting back-and-forth, shouting out orders talking to all of the patrons and customers.. very small inside and very clean !! but yes, very old!! a hole in the WalshIsh 5 star!! but the best part is hands-down, the food !!!!! my counterpart had a burger and said it was the best burger he's ever had. I had breakfast eggs, hashbrowns, and toast, and it was absolutely fantastic. The eggs were fluffy and plenty. The hashbrowns were fresh crispy, and vibrant, and the toast which was the sourdough was the heaviest sourdough. I think I've ever had with so much flavor!!! So to be that simple and to be that delicious is what we want. The pricing is outstanding and when I say outstanding absolutely fantastic. Every restaurant should take notice and you'll be having lines out the door like this place does!! I ordered my breakfast at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and it was spot on !! ...if you're looking for the great American breakfast/burger joint you need to check this place out Grand Rapids !!! if you don't know about this place ....wake up !!!! this is not a 4.5 star. This is a five star find breakfast/lunch "joint!! " PS I didn't take any pictures of the food as I devoured it as it got to my table all the pictures shown are spot on. Enjoy.!!

Hole in the wall diner right down the road from my house. It's an incredibly quaint and cozy place…read morethat feels like a true neighborhood diner. The staff and atmosphere are very homey and the food is always well priced and great portions. I tend to overorder whenever I come here but the leftovers still reheat nicely. I'm a big fan of getting the sweet pancakes or sweet griddle options with potatoes or breakfast meat. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and in good time. I think you can order pickup which is actually really cool and I may have to start doing before super long days at work.They have a parking lot right near the restaurant which is very convenient. Overall, I really love Shelley's and think it's a quintessential american diner experience.

The atmosphere is very moody, which fits the hole in yhe wall 1st impression. The 2nd impression is it's very welcoming and gives small town vibes. I ordered a bowl of N'AWLINS GUMBO ($8) which has medley of rice, okra, Andouille sausage & chicken. It was very good and did give that southern feeling and would be especially good on a cold day. For my main I ordered the POLISH PLATE ($18)  two kielbasa, three pierogies, cabbage roll and kapusta. This was excellent. The Kielbasa were tasty and just as good as dedicated Polish restaurants. The Kapusta is a Polish cabbage dish baked with onions, mushrooms, and sauerkraut. It was excellent, I don't think I've had it before, I'll definitely be having it again. I didn't think I like cabbage, at the very least, I like theirs alot. The pierogies were excellent and only needed the sour cream to be perfect. If you like Polish food, I definitely recommend this dish! The service was very friendly and efficient. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely. The only issue would be do I get the excellent Polish dish or try something else?

This Burger has local beef, ham steak, bacon, 3 cheeses, fried egg, gravy, lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions on a Brioche bun. If you love Biscuits and Gravy, this might be for you. For me it was a little too much. The individual parts all seemed very good, just a miss for me. Plus at $22 a pricey burger. They do not have Pepsi or Coke, they have Brix soda. I got Root Beer, because I find that it's usually more stable across independent brands. However it was a miss for me and was below average, though not bad. The service was excellent. Very friendly and happy. Overall a 3 star review. It was an interesting experience for me. Would I return? Probably would give their breakfast a chance, but wouldn't return for the burger. I really did enjoy the murals and service, so I might come back to see if I can raise the rating.

The server took our drink orders right away and we were ready to order by the time she came back. I had to pig pile skillet but asked to replace the tater tots with hash browns which they were able to do for me! It tasted amazing! I love breakfast skillets and with the sausage gravy on this one, it was basically my ideal breakfast item. It was served with 4 pieces of toast and I was able to take half my skillet and 2 pieces of toast for leftovers. The person I was with got the sausage gravy omelette and it was huge! He had leftovers as well. Good breakfast food & good prices. Only downside is they have Pepsi products instead of coke products. I will definitely be back anyways!
