    Gyro
    Victoria S.

    Awesome gyro, price was $13.99 and came loaded with meat. We added jalapeños and banana peppers to ours. Bread was soft and held everything together really well. Service was super fast and friendly!

    By far the best gyros and cheese steaks I've had in Grand Rapids, and I've had many spots. Customer service is a 10/10!

    By far the best cheese steaks and gyros I've had in the city, and I've tried many places. Everyone needs to come out here and show love!

    So freaking good. They do NOT skimp on the meat; great food at reasonable prices. We ordered a classic gyro and a gyro salad (great option for Keto and low carb folks). I was a bit worried my salad wouldn't have enough meat or dressing, but it was PERFECTION. I highly recommend and we will return for sure! The environment was clean and the gentlemen behind the counter were fast and friendly -and dare I say very attractive, haha.

    Best Chicken Philly in town!!!  Staff are always great and attentive.

    Eastern deli never disappoints! Hands-down, the best, Philly and gyros in town! The staff is always great as well.

    It just seems like a random spot to have such delicious cheesesteaks! We came in to a short line but the friendly repeat customer in front of us couldn't say enough good things about the place. As if the smells from the outside weren't indication enough. Two men hold down the fort at this place for over 20 years. They have pretty good memories for getting all the orders thy they get. My hubby and I both got a Philly's mine with everything minus mayo plus jalapeños and his just steak and cheese and fries. It was one of the best I have had and we tried a few in Philly. I am usually pretty indifferent to sandwiches, too but this was pretty special: The meat was so tender and juicy but not greasy, the cheese stretchy, and the bread soft and the right amount of density. My husband and I finished each finished the entire sandwich and then he ordered another one to go. This will definitely be our spot to grab these when in the GR area. The staff was great and prices were reasonable.

    I ordered no onions and all I got was onions on my sandwich not good

    Check your order before you leave, I highly recommend it. I ordered two Philly Steak and cheese minus onions , and all I got was onions. I repeated my order over and over so I didn't expect to have a onions sandwich when I got home. I paid almost $40 dollars for two onions sandwiches and only a little meat. I waited like 35 mins just to be upset when I got home and was ready to eat my sandwich. I'm not sure if I was giving the wrong order or what, but when you call in to place a order. You should take a name down along with the order .........

The menu is still huge and very overwhelming, but for this visit, I just decided what type of sandwich I wanted (turkey, ham, roast beef, corned beef, pastrami, chicken, sausage, vegetarian, vegan, or salad) and I knew I wanted it grilled. From there I mostly looked at the starred favorite options and went with the #35 Hulihee: Corned beef, pastrami, cheddar, caramelized onions, roasted tomato, garlic mayo on white or wheat. Most of the sandwiches come in half or whole sizes - the half is just a smaller version. For an extra $2 I went with the whole. The menu also includes soup options and salads. They'll give you a table number if you're dining in and then bring your order out to you. The sandwich was toasted and hot, and had a generous amount of meat. I didn't notice all of the other ingredients (I don't think I had any tomato? And didn't really taste a lot of cheddar), but it was saucy and tasty. I really enjoyed this sandwich and I'm glad I went back!

When I walked in, the place was packed. It's a small space, and it was bustling around 1 pm. I was noticed by a kind employee who let me sit at a cozy booth. The menu is huge and includes tons of sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and salads. It was tough to choose but I went with the Irish reuben (grilled pastrami, corned beef, bacon, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, thousand island on marble rye). Sandwiches come with chips, or you can upgrade to fries (regular, sweet potato, or Southwestern dipping fries) - I went with the Southwestern dipping fries, which are seasoned potato wedges. My food came out quickly and I was amazed at the large portions. It was a full basket of fries and a sandwich that would equal two full sandwiches elsewhere. The sandwich was super hot and delicious and packed with meat. I think it's one of the tastiest reubens I've had in awhile. The fries were good, but I think I prefer regular fries. Glad I got to try them, though. They have a daily special where a specific item is discounted, which makes it an affordable option for lunch. I was there on a Tuesday so the special was a spicy fried chicken sandwich or wrap for $12 served with chips or fries. That's a great deal! I will definitely be back for one of their specials. The employees I interacted with were all very friendly and kind and working really hard. I always appreciate good customer service and I found that here. Finally, they serve beer and wine, so if you want a drink with lunch, that is an option as well. The only downside is the small dining area, so I wouldn't say it's great for large groups, and they are only open Monday through Friday for lunch. Luckily I have a flexible schedule, so I'll be back for lunch again soon!

Spacious parking outside. I tried their hot pastrami sammy. The pastrami was sliced against the grain to make it easy to bite, and it tasted perfectly pastrami-y--that signature smoky briny taste, but it wasn't too salty. The portion was enormous! Half an O'brien's sammy would have been the full order anywhere else. There's even a little buddy-sized sink and a tiny toilet in the men's bathroom! Popular with locals and it's easy to see why.

They had a large selection of other cuts of meat, chicken, and packaged items like crackers, sauces, dips, gifts, and more. I'm definitely coming back to Grand Butchers the next time I need a more special cut of meat. Love the large parking lot and I was in and out in no time.

Flavorful and the exact right amount of spice. The whole mom 'n pop shop had fun add-ons that could be purchased like candy cigarettes, local pops and delicious sounding pints of ice-cream.
