The space is bright and airy and there was plenty of open seating. The menu is pretty similar to Grand Coney, which is part of the same restaurant group and our go-to greasy diner spot. Nate ordered the West Coast benedict: turkey, avocado, tomato, poached eggs, hollandaise, english muffin, potatoes and I got the supreme skillet. Our food came out quickly and it was tasty. I had some of Nate's benedict which was cooked well with nicely poached eggs - the hollandaise was a bit more lemony than I prefer. The skillet was a large portion and I love that they ask if you want it with hashbrowns or american fries. Our server was really friendly and polite, and I enjoyed this breakfast. I wouldn't necessarily come back anytime soon but that's just because it's a bit far from our house. If I lived in the area this would be my go-to diner.

A Reliable Breakfast Classic in Grand Rapids New Beginnings…read moreRestaurant on Northland Drive remains a go-to spot for hearty, no-frills breakfast in the Grand Rapids area. This longstanding diner delivers classic American comfort food with generous portions, consistent quality, and a welcoming vibe that keeps locals coming back. The restaurant was packed to the gills during my recent visit, a clear sign of its popularity even on a typical morning. Despite the crowd, the place stayed impressively clean, with tables turning over efficiently and the dining area well-maintained. The wait staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to serve, as always--quick to refill drinks, check in, and make sure everything arrived just right. I started with a large chocolate milk (paired with a water back for balance) -- creamy, rich, and perfectly chilled. For the main meal, I opted for bacon and eggs with extra-crispy hash browns and wheat toast. The eggs came dippy (over-easy), ideal for sopping up on the toast. The hash browns were golden, crispy-edged, and generously portioned, topped with a dollop of ketchup for that classic touch. The bacon arrived extra crispy, perfectly rendered with that satisfying crunch, laid over slices of toasted wheat bread. Everything was hot, flavorful, and executed just as requested. I skipped the side of sausage gravy this time to focus on the eggs and toast combo, but the simplicity worked beautifully. To cap it off, I finished my breakfast with an extra decadent piece of toast by combining both strawberry jam and grape Concord jelly onto my last triangle -- a sweet, nostalgic finale that hit the spot. One quirky highlight: I saw Jesus in the sugar bowl (the little figurine condiment caddy added a fun, homey touch to the table setup, complete with the salt, pepper, and ketchup nearby). Overall, the food was fantastic -- fresh, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a breakfast diner. Prices remain reasonable for the portion sizes, making it a great value in a city with plenty of options. Service and cleanliness hold steady even under pressure, which speaks to good management. As always, I recommend this place for anyone craving a solid, reliable breakfast. It would be splendid if they opened a location in the Cedar Springs, Michigan area -- it would be a welcome addition up north!

They seem to be understaffed most of the time but it has literally never affected the quality of service. I've only ever ordered breakfast here. It's so good.

This past visit, I ordered chocolate chip pancakes (buttermilk pancake platter add chocolate chips) and they were delish! I think their pricing is good. I do wish they had Coke instead of Pepsi but that's not a big worry anyways. Will def be coming back here time and time again!

Went to Mudpenny for the first time for brunch. Decent crowd on a Saturday. Opted for the Kevin…read moreMalone instead of the Brunchwrap and I think that was the right choice. Burrito is packed full of hash browns, crispy bacon, sausage, egg, and cheese. The only downside to the Kevin Malone is that they use spinach instead of like a chopped lettuce for the burrito and the texture is a little overpowering. Plus, they don't chop the stems off the spinach, so I'd either order it without or pick some pieces out. I feel like the Brunchwrap has a thicker layer of it and as much as mixing in a green is smart, it has to be prepped properly in my opinion. Patatas bravas as a side were fire. The potatoes were roasted and seasoned well. It advertised a garlic aioli, but we did not get that. As with San Chez's patatas bravas, ask for the sauce on the side. It is a very good side of potatoes compared to the thinly, oddly sliced potato slices that came with the breakfast sandwich. They looked like apple slices and were sort of wet and soggy like them too. Nitpicking their spinach prep and refining their side dish of potatoes are really the only notes if someone from Mudpenny is actually reading this and got this far. Great breakfast spot and service was spot on.
