Cuts Deli in Cedar Springs, Michigan, is the kind of place that makes you wish your stomach had a…read moresnooze button--because once you've tasted their smoked meats , you'll be dreaming about them all week. Nestled at 4848 18 Mile Rd NE, this unassuming barbecue and deli joint has quietly earned its reputation as one of the area's hidden gems. On a rare day when the stars aligned and breakfast didn't sabotage lunch , I managed to place a midday order: a half rack of ribs and a half pound of lean brisket , both paired with their signature house sauce . The result? A carnivore's symphony . Cuts Deli doesn't just serve meat --they serve a masterclass in smoke, flavor, and portion control (or lack thereof). The brisket was tender and smoky, the ribs rich and satisfying, and the sauce added just the right zing to make each bite feel like a celebration . The portions are generous--borderline heroic--and while I tried to balance things out with a side of California blend veggies at home , let's be honest: this meal was all about the meat . Cuts Deli doesn't skimp, and they don't miss. Whether it's their brisket sandwich , spring turkey with cranberry mayo , or chili cheese fries , locals rave about the freshness and flavor. Open Tuesday through Saturday, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays until 7 PM, Cuts Deli is a weekend indulgence worth planning around . My only gripe? That I can't eat there every day without risking a full-blown smoked meat addiction. If you haven't yet made the pilgrimage to Cuts Deli, consider this your sign . Just don't sleep in too late--you'll want to beat the rush before your favorites sell out .

A Breakfast Buffet! Wow! I went back to the Big Boy in Cedar Springs after staying away for a long…read moretime, and guess what? It was way better this time. It felt like finding out Santa really DID bring you the good candy. The best part? They have a breakfast buffet. A real one! Those are super rare now, like spotting a reindeer in the wild. But Big Boy has it, and they keep it filled up with fresh food. The whole place looked cleaner too--nice floors, tidy tables, everything looking happy. On my first plate, I grabbed all the yummy classics: * Thick French toast with warm syrup (it tasted like a hug!) * A pancake with sweet cinnamon apples on top * Crispy bacon * Sausage links * Scrambled eggs The French toast was the star--golden and soft and perfect. The pancake was a little old, but the apples made it taste great anyway. The meats were tasty too, just not super hot. On my second plate, I went for the savory stuff: * Fried potatoes * More scrambled eggs * Polish sausage * More bacon and sausage * And then... SAUSAGE GRAVY ON TOP! (Yes, please!) The gravy was rich and peppery and made everything taste extra cozy. Some of the food was a little cool, though. And I saw a pan of cheesy hash browns that looked very burnt--like "left in the oven since last Christmas" burnt. The server was friendly and checked on me just enough--like a good elf who knows when you need more chocolate milk. All in all, this Big Boy is back to being a great place for a big, simple, happy breakfast. The buffet is fun, the place is cleaner, and the staff is kind. If they keep the food a little hotter and swap out old items faster, it'll be even better. If you love breakfast buffets, this one is worth a re-visit. Smiling's my favorite, and breakfast buffets might be my second favorite!

Got the Pub Pulled Pork sandwich with it, and this also was a winner. Nicely smoked piggy with a creamy sauce, enough to be satisfying but not too big to eat with your hands, as I've run into a some BBQ outfits. That's actually not doing the customer a favor! I appreciated having some non-stachy side options and chose the red cabbage for mine. It was warm, tender-crisp with just a slight lemony tang. Seating is mostly picnic table style--you may well share yours with another party, but not to worry. This is a place likely to dispel any bad mood someone might have walked in with.

Classic Kelly's Family Restaurant, a Sunday Morning Stop in Cedar Springs, MI…read more After church on this chilly January Sunday (January 11, 2026), I kept up my weekly tradition of trying a different breakfast spot. This time I headed to Classic Kelly's at 356 N. Main St. in Cedar Springs--a longtime local institution that's been serving homestyle breakfasts for decades, though it's been under new management (Heather Youngs) for just the last couple of years. The place was hopping--classic small-town diner on a Sunday morning. Every seat was taken except the one right in front of me. The vibe was warm and lively, full of locals catching up over coffee. My waiter was friendly and on top of things: greeted me immediately, handed over the menu, and quickly returned with a large chocolate milk (always hits the spot after church). I ordered a classic combo--scrambled eggs (with an extra egg added), three sausage links, deep-fried hash brown patties (the crispy, golden McDonald's-style ones that arrived instead of the chunky home fries I was expecting), and wheat toast. Everything tasted good and hearty. The sausages were juicy, the toast nicely buttered, and the portions were generous enough to leave me fully satisfied. Those hash brown patties were a pleasant surprise--crispy outside, soft inside, and honestly delicious. The only minor letdown was the scrambled eggs being a little dry (probably straight from the shell with no extra milk or butter for extra fluff), but a quick hit of ketchup fixed that right up. The kitchen was definitely taking its time, though. With the restaurant at full capacity, my solo visit stretched to over 65 minutes from door to door, with only about 12 minutes of actual eating. It felt a bit drawn out when dining alone, but I can see how it would feel alright with family or friends and good conversation. Now, the decor... let's be honest--it's the one thing that keeps me (and probably a lot of others) from coming back more often. The big, bulky 1970s chairs with armrests and leather seats/backs are straight out of a time capsule, and personally, I can't stand them. They take up way too much space, make navigating the crowded room feel like an obstacle course, and honestly, they feel like a turn-off for newer customers--especially younger generations looking for something fresh and modern. I've been quietly griping about these chairs for the 20 years I've lived in the area, and I still think swapping them for slimmer, standard restaurant seating would open up the dining room, make the place more inviting, and help attract a broader crowd. (Though I get it--more seats might mean even longer waits, so it's a classic diner dilemma.) Payment was a small moment of confusion--used to be pay at the corner, now the server handles it. There was a short wait after my plate was cleared before the check came, adding to my confusion, but no major issue. Bottom line: Classic Kelly's delivers that comforting, no-frills small-town breakfast with a massive all-day menu (omelets, skillets, benedicts, pancakes, you name it), friendly service, and reliably filling food. The new management has kept the welcoming community feel intact while running a busy, well-loved spot. The food is solid, the portions satisfying, and the atmosphere is unmistakably Cedar Springs. If you're not in a rush and enjoy the laid-back pace (or have company to chat with), it's a great choice. Solo diners should just plan for the wait. Great food and heart, but those dated chairs are a real drag and could use an update to bring in more new faces.

The 2nd pizza was the Molto Carne which has pizza sauce, house mozzarella & provolone, ham, pepperoni, soppressata and Italian sausage. I loved the crust on them. Definitely on of the better ones. The Bayou was good. There was a little bit of the sea taste of course. I don't think I'd get this again, but it was fun. The Molto Carne, or their version of a meat lovers was delicious. Definitely my preferred pizza. All the meats seemed high quality. I really liked the pizza sauce too. The pizzas came out quickly. The service was very friendly and efficient. Overall a 5 star review. Excellent crust, a very good pizza sauce, excellent quality meats, and very good cheese. Everything you want at a pizza place. Would I return? Absolutely. I wish I lived closer, this would be my go to pizza place.
