One of my favorite ice cream spots in Grand Rapids. They are consistent and pretty quick to get orders out the window. They usually have a line but it really never takes long. Frosty Boy has so many options for different sundaes, slushies, flurries etc. 9 times out of 10 I'm getting some sort of flurry. Most recently I had a cookie dough flurry and added m&ms. Just so good and they put the perfect amount of toppings in it. Parking can be kinda chaotic! The parking lot is small but there's residential street parking nearby. They also have some picnic type tables at the front of back of the building to sit and enjoy your dessert. read more

frosty boy is always our spring/summer obsession. the vegan options are plentiful and delicious. i love that there is a rotating vegan flavor to keep it exciting. there are also fun vegan mix-ins that rotate in addition to the ones they have all summer. my two favorite flurries are the vegan strawberry shortcake flurry and a vegan twix flurry. they also have vegan whip cream that can be added to any treat. the small is a perfect size for my partner and i to share. sometimes i get a cone on the side and load some of our flurry into it with still plenty left in the cup. the lines are usually long but worth it! there are two tables up front and additional seating in the back. read more

Frosty boy is my go to ice cream place throughout the summer. The workers there are nice; and know how to make a meannnnn flurry, sundae, shake, you name it! Delicious and creamy ice cream, every time. Sometimes (usually) the line is very long, but that just shows that it's a quality place. read more

Duh, everyone knows that Frosty Boy is the best if you want some yummy ice cream. They have soft serve, vegan options, flavorburst, flurries, shakes, slushies, hard serve, sundaes, etc etc. My treat of the summer has been black cherry flavorburst with chocolate dip and sprinkles. YUM! Although lines are often very long during the warm months, they're quick and it's worth it. This is a GR landmark for sure. read more

Prices were reasonable and they have a decent variety. I do like that they had two dye-free slushee options, but the one I got (blue raspberry) was soo thick and did not taste good. My husband got a regular blue raspberry slushee and his was good (and he agreed mine tasted odd--and I've had dye-free slushees before other places so not sure why this one tasted so weird). We also got a flurry which was decently sized for a small and was quite good. Parking was good as we found a spot in their parking lot easily. read more

Frosty Boy is one of my favorite places in GR and it makes it even better when it's within 5 minutes walk from your house! I am a super basic person and love how reasonably priced it is. The staff are always so friendly and there's a decent amount of parking around for those who need it. There's a few picnic tables outside as well and you can sit to enjoy or walk around the nearby parks. I always order a kid's chocolate/vanilla twist in a cone as it's the perfect dessert size! I never feel judged for ordering a "kiddie" size and they're always very prompt. The lines are long but moves quickly and I am so happy to see this place survive so well after many years. The menu is aggressive so you'll have to really look at what you want, or if you're basic like me, there's always something for everyone. Even gluten free, vegan, dairy free, and even doggos! read more

As someone who is dairy free, this place is amazing! The fact that they offer dairy free soft serve means that I can get a flurry or a sundae. Everything on their menu is clearly marked with any allergens, and the staff is trained really well on it too. The line moves quickly, and they have shaded tables in the back. Highly recommend! read more

For sure one of the BEST ice cream shops in the whole city. Their menu is enormous, and so are the lines. But it is worth it. They have a very large selection of items that are gluten free, dairy free, vegan, whatever you are in need of. They always have special monthly flavors. The prices are what you would expect, and the customer service is good. Of course, it takes a while to get to the window, and again to get what you ordered because it is a popular place. But it is clear that they are doing their best. I have yet to be disappointed by this place. read more

So we've been living here in GR for decades. Have passed by frosty boys a million times and it was not until this summer that we found out that they have GF, vegan options. May I just say it is so great! I love the Oreo one with either chocolate and vanilla. That one has been my favorite to order. Last time we ordered from the fall menu, we tried the pumpkin pie one and it was delicious :D Today while driving I saw the See you in Spring! sign and was glad that we got to enjoy it so much this year. Can't wait until next year! read more

I had a genuinely disappointing experience here and tried to give the business an opportunity to respond privately. Unfortunately, instead of addressing my concerns, they doubled down, denied my experience, and deleted my public comments. When I reposted, they accused me of harassment. I ordered a chocolate shake made with chocolate hard serve. I was told they've never made shakes with hard serve... which simply isn't true, as I've ordered it before and it was made that way in the past. I said as much and they said I couldn't have had it there. But I did. Last time was less than a month ago and whoever made it, did it right. I decided to settle for a chocolate shake with chocolate soft serve. I didn't really want to leave empty handed in spite of my upset and after waiting in the long line. What I received was overloaded with syrup to the point of being inedible--it was so overpowering I threw it away after one sip. This isn't about a single bad shake. It's about being told I was mistaken when I know I wasn't, and then being silenced for speaking up. I won't be returning, and I hope this business reflects on how they handle feedback in the future. I've been a neighborhood regular for years, but after today, I won't be coming back. Two stars only because I have some decent memories of actually getting a good shake here in the past. read more

Definitely worth the wait, and it's quite likely you're going to wait as this is one of the two most popular ice cream places in Grand Rapids. The staff, and really everyone in line, couldn't be friendlier. Last night, to cap off our day in GR, this just had such a great vibe, nice and positive, good line banter, and, of course, puppies abound! The ice cream, probably the reason you're reading this, lives up to the vibe, with almost too many options to choose from. I kept it simple with a soft-serve swirl cone, which at $3.75 for a large was about as good as it gets. The ice cream was silky smooth and flavorful, and the sprinkles stayed surprisingly crunchy, I was very happy (as you can see). My wife had a small cup of one of the specialty flavors, the Michigan Pot Hole I believe it was called. It was good, but not exactly bursting with flavor like I may have expected. Still, a very good experience and about as much bang for the buck as you'll find! read more

Frosty Boy! A place where many people can enjoy a local ice cream stop! I have lived in GR for many years and always saw a huge crowd of people just lining up to get delicious treats during the summer time. Didn't really think to look and see if they have any allergy free options because usually seasonal ice cream shops don't-- until someone told my Mom that they had options for gluten and dairy free options! Now! All my family members both regular ice cream eaters and allergy free ice cream eaters look forward to stopping by Frosty Boy every year. And the ambiance is so friendly and reminds you of your childhood. The flavors are amazing and creative and you feel the love in every bite so stop by and support your local ice cream shop you never know if you'll love it till you try! :) read more

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 5 DRINK QUALITY: N/A ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 3 NOISE LEVEL: N/A MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.6 MUST GO! I am always craving ice cream and most of the time I find myself asking where should I go? Well let me explain why I am writing a review for this place over all the others that I tend to go. The most important reason is that they offer dog sundaes. If you own a truck, dogs and have a craving then you definitely want to consider this place. Second, they are open late. Third, they have great reviews. Fourth, they have a spacious parking lot for your truck. Just pop open your tail bed and you have a nice sitting spot after getting your ice cream and you can leash your dogs in the bed with you. After arriving, we immediately noticed that there was so many people there. Wonderful sign of a good product or a cheap product. That said, it also means that you can potentially sit in line for quite a while. We decided to risk it. About 15 people ahead of us and it took us less than 5 mins to get to window and order. Once we got to the window, the women taking orders were so nice and seemed to really enjoy working there. After ordering we had our ice cream and were sitting on the tail of my truck within 2 mins. Now we get to determine if it's good ice cream or cheap ice cream. You guessed it! The ice cream was delicious. I ordered the hot fudge brownie sundae. The brownies weren't stale, the fudge was delicious. The ice cream tasted like a quality ice cream. The dog sundaes were perfect. Clearly the dogs had zero complaints. Precursor before going. This is not a gourmet ice cream shop who creates masterpieces. This is a community, quality, corner ice cream shop who has a very extensive list from sundaes, to smoothies. They offer vegan and gluten free options as well. Fun, family, and dog friendly. read more

Just look at the joy on my face in the picture I took here. That should show you why I also call myself a Frosty Boy. First off, there were almost too many options at this ice cream shack. What do I get? One of 30 or so creations? Or one of 30 or so shakes? Maybe hard scoop? Soft serve? Lemon soft serve? Ahhhh! I went with the simple pleasure of Post's fruity pebbles on a soft serve cone. I like fruity pebbles on my donuts and my ice cream. Frosty Boy has an efficient system of a order line and a pickup line. Things went relatively quickly on a Saturday night. We sat behind the store on a picnic table. A grand spot in Grand Rapids. read more

Have come here 3 times, the draw initially being the dog sundaes which are just enough ice cream for your dog in a mini waffle bowl with a biscuit. So cute! Once we came at 8 pm and they were mysteriously closed on a summer evening and we were very sad. This time I wanted to highlight that headed into fall I LOVED the fall seasonal menus apple pie shake with mixed in apples, cinnamon, and graham chunks with a huge pile of whipped creme on top. Perfect seasonal flavor!! This very busy mom and pop ice cream shop always has something good going on and with their enormous menu catering to vegans etc, you can find something for you every single time. read more

This is a really low key ice cream joint that serves some great soft serve for a very reasonable price. As other reviewers mention, this is a walk up family joint with some benches for seating and a very sunny summer at the pool type of vibe. Another reviewer recommended the lemon soft serve and I hesitantly ordered the lemon cake sundae. This sundae was flaming! It had moist chunks of lemon cake with an awesome lemon soft serve ice cream that I'll be craving until my next visit. The wait was a bit long but expected on a hot holiday weekend, but the service was phenomenal. If you're in the mood for some casual ice cream on your way home from work or from the beach, this is your spot! read more

The line out the parking lot should tell you something.. THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE. Their menu is HUGE and has something for everyone's ice cream needs. I opted for the Lemon Cheesecake Sundae and added nuts (I probably won't next time, I'd rather add extra cheesecake bites). The lemon flavor is perfect. Not to strong and tastes very natural. The cheesecake bites were moist. I'd get any sundae that has them. The Ice cream was thick and creamy, almost like a custard. Plenty of seating and parking. The long line was 100% worth it. read more

Great soft-serve ice cream, slushes, shakes, sundaes, and even non-dessert food! Great selection of items and flavors. Staff are friendly and quick. There's a reason they've won local popularity awards. But, I HAVE to mention their corndogs. Omg, they're so good. The batter has such a good flavor. They're not Pronto Pups, which are also delicious, but have a flour-based batter. I'm judging these based on their summer-fair-corny goodness.

We come here pretty often- we live close enough to ride bike. I am always impressed by the variety and size of everything we order from frosty boy! My sister is vegan and I love that I can bring her here and she can get many different options. Great service even though it is often busy! Peak times are usually late night and evening so come in the afternoon if you are not willing to wait in line. My favorites? Lemon twist cone and the allergen flurry. And always hot fudge on top! :) but i also love to try the rotating flavors and add in options. Last time I got puppy chow- super fun options! Totally dog friendly- there are always a few waiting in line with us. We will miss them when they close for the season! read more

Asada on Wealthy

Sad to say I never made it to Basalt when it was around and only made it to Asada on the last ever…read moreday in their space on Wealthy. Honestly it was an incredible location for a space and had such a great vibe inside. My best friend is a regular at the restaurant and we're hoping to see them more in smaller capacities like when we saw them at the Fulton St. Market. Overall, the food was really good. I like the concept of fast-casual dining without the need to have a server. I think it allows things to feel more casual and allowed for me to be more willing to eat there (obviously in other circumstances lol). I got the horchata hot cakes with some of the papas with ghost sauce. I thought the pancakes were GREAT and more than worth it for the price. I was surprised how large and fluffy they were. The flavor was great without being too sweet and none of the flavors being too overpowering. My friends got the breakfast sandwiches and chaichata drinks and absolutely loved them. My friend loved her drink so much she got two within the span of us eating. I know it's a hard time for local businesses but I'm hoping there are more ways we can still see them around.

To be honest, I've only been here twice but I wanna change that based off the last time I went. Our…read morefood was just so good, I had forgotten how delicious their menu is. Different from the last time I was here but we were told to find a seat upon entering and that when we were ready, we could order our food at the counter. I looked over their menu and found lots of good breakfast taco options, the breakfast burrito I have heard is great, but what really caught my attention was the biscuits and gravy. I was feeling quite ravenous this morning and got the full order for $11 and a side of bacon. They had a table close to the entrance with extra menus, clean cups, water jugs, hot sauces, silverware and napkins. Seemed like a help-yourself vibe which I grabbed everything we would need for our meal. Our food was brought to us rather quickly and my bf ordered the breakfast bowl with scrambled eggs and sausage. He told me it tasted so good and he loved that he could make his own tacos with his food. He let me try one of the hashbrown rounds and it was perfectly crispy! My biscuits and gravy were phenomenal. The biscuits were so fresh and the gravy had a really nice and comforting flavor to it. You could get chorizo and mushrooms in your gravy but i went with a traditional sausage for my protein. My bacon on the side came in a tiny dish but I ate all four pieces haha. Once we finished, there were some bus bins under the same table with the silverware, we placed all our dirty dishes there and cleaned up after ourselves before leaving. I honestly felt so content leaving there and can't wait to return. I really appreciate the ambiance in there with the beautiful plant life, the lights on the ceiling, and cool decor in general. The staff was also SO NICE! Wins everywhere. I also noticed people coming in for takeout which is good to know in case I don't feel like dining in some morning. Please check this place out sometime if you're in the mood for some really good breakfast that doesn't break your bank account.

It's probably one of the…read morebest burgers (if not the best) dine-in burger in GR and I will constantly come back for this over and over. My boyfriend and I stumbled in during happy hour and were happy to grab some cheap drinks, but the main event was the burger! We typically like sitting at the bar as well and chat with the bartender who was absolutely lovely! The dirty martini was okay but I will definitely order something else next time as the olives just didn't hit for me. It's a quaint and quiet spot - you can read that as intimate - since it's not loud or rowdy, so if you want a really sweet date spot, feel free to check this one out! Otherwise, you can just go and have a casual, delicious dinner. Parking is limited with the street parking and it being so close to Monroe Center but you shouldn't have a terrible time finding something, even if requires a parking ramp vs street parking. I'd just recommend a reservation if you are going on a weekend or don't want to wait/sit at the bar!

This was my first time at at Little Bird and it definitely did not disappoint. However, I now see why it's called Little Bird because the inside is definitely small but that just adds to the ambiance. My husband and I came here for brunch on a Saturday because it's a place we both can eat at (he's not vegan). When we walked in the restaurant was bustling and packed, but we got seated right away by the door which was cool because we could people watch. Our server greeted us immediately and filled our glasses with water. She was nice and answered all of our questions. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with my brunch choices which were the soup of the day, a lentil curry, pumpkin seed combo with tons of good seasoning and cilantro on top...it was soooo good and vegan friendly! For my entree I got the tofu sandwich with the most amazing side salad that had this lemon dressing that set it off right! I could have just had a plate of the salad! Although the tofu sandwich was good, it was a bit on the salty side for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this place for vegan options and I'd come back. Just be aware they don't take reservations for brunch and it's pretty loud, but it's a really cute establishment and I was pleased with the food and service. Give it a try!!!

Sure it's a little pricey, but you're going to pay more for premium crafted fare. They also have an awesome little patio hidden in the back, which is just delightful on the nice days that we have in the spring and summer and fall in Grand Rapids. They're very convenient to the Zoo so you can include them in making a day out of your excursion on West Fulton. The coffee beverages are top-notch and the baked goods are right there with them. Rise is a highlight of the John Ball hood. Now, this might not be the place for thin-skinned MAGA b*tch-boys with fragile egos and issues -ahem- compensating... but for grownups with regular-sized brains (and other parts) who love an amazing local shop with values that are shared by the city and neighborhood around it?

I've always said that The Heritage is one of GR's best hidden gems. This restaurant is run by…read morestudents at the Secchia Institute for Culinary Arts and offers a fine dining experience at a fraction of the cost. There are a few tips you'll need to pay attention to if you'd like to check it out. First, sign up for their email list so you get notified when their reservations open. They have extremely limited hours and dates that they're open (usually only two months throughout the year for a few days each week). The second thing to know is that your meal may take a bit longer than if you were to go out to a restaurant. Since it's a teaching environment, you may overhear instructors telling students how to properly clear tables, giving them tips, etc. and your food may take a bit longer to come out. All that said, if you can get a reservation for lunch or dinner at The Heritage, I highly recommend it. For dinner they usually offer a pre-fixe menu although it has changed over the years. I've dined at The Heritage several times now, for both lunch and dinner. If you have the time for a longer lunch, it's really fun. Nate and I went on their very first day of service during the winter 2024 session and it was great! You could definitely see some nerves, but we were enthusiastic and encouraging. We ordered a bunch of items from the menu: hand pulled mozzarella, chopped salad, shrimp bisque, pork curry, haute style beef, and two desserts. They start you with bread service, and they kept asking if we wanted more throughout the meal. The first few courses were spaced out appropriately and presented nicely. I LOVED the hand pulled mozzarella - it was flavorful and the baguette was perfectly toasted and not too crispy. I'd order that again. The salad was a huge portion and so beautifully plated, but it was a little lacking in flavor. I added some salt which helped. (In general, I have found most of the food to be a tad under seasoned for my taste, but they had salt and pepper shakers on the table). Our entrees took a bit longer to come out, but they were delicious. I preferred the haute beef, which was a perfectly cooked (medium rare) filet on some potato croquettes with delicious sauce. I did think it was interesting they didn't ask me how I wanted the steak cooked, but it was great. They also didn't offer a steak knife, but it wasn't necessary. The pork in the curry was super tender and cooked really nicely. Dessert is displayed on a cart that they bring around which is really fun. We went with the mocha latte torte and the raspberry passionfruit torte. I loved the mocha latte torte as it reminded me of tiramisu. In lieu of tips, an 18% service charge is added to each check and this money is put into scholarships that go back to the students. They also provide a comment card that you can give feedback on at the end of the meal. If you are a patient and kind foodie with a bit of time on your hands, definitely try to make it to The Heritage for a meal!

As others have mentioned, the drink list is pretty tight, especially wine by the glass. But considering how narrow the hours are here, any larger and they'd be pouring so much wine down the drain. There were 4 of us and we kind of made a point to order different things so we could explore the menu. I got the duck confit cotton candy and it was surprising in 2 ways. The cotton candy was much larger than I anticipated. There was also caramel hiding in the cone of the cotton candy. The duck itself was so good. All the fat was so rendered down. He got the Hamachi Kama. Our friends got the mushroom parcel and the quail egg cloud. I tried the quail egg cloud and the texture was really interesting. The quail egg was hiding under the meringue and it made for a fun bite. Good marks all around. My scallops were cooked to perfection and the curry sauce was killer. I wish the fennel was softened a little bit more but that's more a personal preference. The demi on his steak was amazing too. I was jealous of my friend's pork chop though. I will say that if you are in a rush to be somewhere after dinner, I don't know that this is the place for you. They are learning and that is the mindset that you need to be there to support. So please, don't be that person that gets upset about the wait or asks for something off-menu. I have had the privilege of eating at another culinary program's restaurant and the speed of service was dead similar to this. It's normal. The dessert was good but we had to take it to go because they had a show to get to. The napoleons we got held up really well even after a few hours. I would go back in a heartbeat. I also think that if you want to practice fine dining at an accessible price point, this is a great place to do it. It's a low-stakes, high payoff situation.

It comes with all of the different dishes, including lentils, soy curry, greens, salad, and even two seasonal dishes - one with beets and one with squash. We all agreed that the squash was one of our favorites! I also got the Ethiopian tea, which is a warm fruity spiced tea that is perfect for fall. The ambience is homey, and service can be a bit slow as it is usually just the owner working and maybe one other person. That said, it's a wonderful spot and I always love the food, which is all vegetarian and vegan friendly. I'm not vegan but I'm always satisfied and I love the variety.

The donuts were fluffy and soft, with just enough sweetness in the frosting and cream filling of the Boston cream. The cookies and cream frosting was delicious!

We also ordered the beer battered fries to start and they were fine, nothing bad but nothing special about them either. My only real complaint is the limited menu availability. Two of the six entrées were already sold out by the time we got there, even though my partner made the reservation weeks in advance. I understand the realities of a farm to table model and respect the commitment to sourcing and seasonality, but on a fixed, high-demand holiday, the limited options were noticeable and slightly disappointing . Overall it was still a good experience, just one that could have been better with a bit more menu flexibility. Hoping to be back on a less busy day in the summer since I really want to love this restaurant!
