This is such a quaint grocery store and home to our favorite coffee shop in GR!…read more There is a huge wall of candies, chocolate covered items and dried fruits. The produce always looks fresh and we have never had a poor tasting item. The meat/ seafood counter has a great selection. There's a mini cheese basket where you can try small amounts of each cheese, we've mostly paid $1-2 each for these! Definitely not a place you can complete all of your shopping but always worth going to.

Most recently, I let an individual know I found a fairly large selection of products that were outdated by more than five months. The response I received was "I'll have to let somebody know tomorrow." They didn't even ask what specific brand or product it was, as I had told them a general item just to see if they'd show an interest in correcting this. They didn't. They recently remodeled the store, and it's a shame that a nice building like this is run in this manner.

I absolutely love Little Bird's smashburger and I will die on this hill. 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!

I am plant based vegan and anytime I plan to go to a restaurant that is not solely 100% vegan, I…read morelook to see what vegan options are offered. 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!!!

Another social media win! I'd seen Da Boils on Facebook and was trying to catch them at a pop-up…read moresince they don't have a physical restaurant location. They were at the BIPOC Night Market at Fulton Street Farmers Market so I decided to try the Low Tide boil, with 1/2 pound snow crab and 1/2 pound shrimp. Also included were some potatoes and two chunks of corn on the cob - you can also add sausage, egg, and more potatoes or corn. I haven't been to any of the seafood boil restaurants in town yet but I think Da Boils' prices are pretty similar. The Low Tide was $34.99 and they dropped it in fresh after I ordered. It took about 10-15 minutes but it was worth the wait. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and easy to peel, and the seasoning was definitely on point and I loved the flavor. I didn't think it was too super salty and the medium level spice wasn't really spicy, I might go up a level next time. The crab was easy to get out of the shell. It's definitely messy and you don't get the bibs or gloves you might get at a sit down spot, but I didn't really care. You just have to go with it and know you'll be messy! I loved this boil and would definitely order from Da Boils again. I've seen them post other items like lobster mac and cheese, which I'd love to try. They also do catering which would make for a great party!

Considering it was a Saturday night, we didn't have too long of a wait without making reservations. Once we were seated, we were met with friendly wait service from our lovely waitress. My husband ordered an old fashioned and I ordered the lemon meringue pie martini which was absolutely delightful; the graham cracker rim was a nice touch, it was like drinking an actual lemon meringue pie!! For our appetizers, we ordered fried pickles and the steak bites, which were both delicious! For my entree, I ordered the Zuckerburger with a side of onion rings. As you can see from my photo, I couldn't wait to dig in! Man oh man, was that a great dinner!! The atmosphere here is also wonderful, upbeat and lively without being too overwhelming!
