    I'd never been to Red Geranium Cafe until recently but we had a coupon for a free skillet, so Nate and I decided to make the drive down and try it out. 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.

    Find the broccoli.....I dare you!

    So we came in just after 10 on a Sunday. The restaurant was busy, with only a few people waiting. The counter was empty. In an attempt to help things along, I inquired as to just sitting at the counter. I'm not sure if she was overwhelmed, excited or angry, but the response I got felt like screaming for me to wait for the counter to be cleaned. I'm sorry, I just showed up and was trying to help. I'm not sure screaming at me was the right response from the hostess with glasses. We sat and got coffee and water quickly and the bald gentleman was attentive. We ordered from him within 5 minutes. The wait for food was 45 minutes. My wife ordered a scramble which they forgot. I won't be back and can't recommend. The line ended up being long because no one was getting food. The food was good, but not exceptional considering the wait. Meh

    Stopped by here during lunch time on a Friday. We were able to sit down right away, no waiting, which was perfect. The server took our drink orders right away and we were ready to order by the time she came back. I had to pig pile skillet but asked to replace the tater tots with hash browns which they were able to do for me! It tasted amazing! I love breakfast skillets and with the sausage gravy on this one, it was basically my ideal breakfast item. It was served with 4 pieces of toast and I was able to take half my skillet and 2 pieces of toast for leftovers. The person I was with got the sausage gravy omelette and it was huge! He had leftovers as well. Good breakfast food & good prices. Only downside is they have Pepsi products instead of coke products. I will definitely be back anyways!

We…read moredidn't have a reservation but fortunately there was room at the bar - which is our preferred seating spot anyway. I was surprised at how long it took for the 2 hosts to greet us - as we were standing directly in front of them. They were talking to one another, and it was probably work related, but to just stand there staring at them for a couple minutes while they ignored us was awkward. When they finally talked to us they weren't very friendly. Anyway, we made our way to the bar and it was full except for 3 seats. I think the bartender waiting on us was new. He seemed like he was pretty overwhelmed/in the weeds. He greeted us quickly and brought us waters when he did, which I appreciated. I ordered a Blackeberry Bourbon Sour and my Mr had Paloma Nuestra. We both enjoyed our drinks they were refreshing and well crafted. For dinner I had a really hard time deciding! I wanted to try so many things! Our bartender said his favorite thing in the menu is the chicken and rice bowl. That was something I was considering and decided to go with that. Excellent recommendation! The chicken was flavorful and so tender. The hot peppers were a nice touch. There was a lot of food too! I couldn't finish it all. Mr had the hanger steak that was served with mushroom and asparagus risotto. He said the risotto was the best he's ever had, and I agree. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and so was the steak. The space is really nice, felt intimate without being overcrowded. We are looking forward to coming back!

The service was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone was kind and welcoming. We ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a wagyu sirloin that had a red wine reduction, crispy onions, potato gratin and garlic green beans. We also ordered two kids trays which were priced very fair at $9 for the options and amount of food received. Our kids had the fried chicken tenders, grilled steak and picked sides of fries, mashed potatoes and fruit. The kids trays also came with drinks. Since this was a birthday celebration or server did make it special by brining a sweet treat and candle and even discounted my meal! Some things to think about when planning a visit: The restaurant is very loud. Make a reservation! It is popular. Plan parking! The area is full of great restaurants so parking is tough. Paid parking areas are available but limited.

I thought an old fashioned was an old fashioned, but this one was delicious and available for happy hour, can't beat that! Then at the bartenders recommendation, I had the meatballs for appetizer and the hangar steak for entree. First, the meatballs, very good, I'd give it a 4/5 minimum. Portion was very respectable, meant for a shareable appetizer but it was just me lol. The ricotta is a delicious touch. Then the hangar steak. It's the best steak I can remember having in a long time, and on a relatively inexpensive cut such as a hangar. I just can't express enough how impressed I was with it. And I'm not a sauce with steak type but the aioli just completes it so well. 5/5, and I'm pretty picky. If I come back to Grand Rapids I will visit here at least once.

I don't live nearby so it will have to be saved for another trip, but i will definitely go back, and next time i won't be sharing lol. It was also served with a side of potatos of your coffee, so i got the hashbrowns which were pretty good as well. They had that bit of crunch o on the outside like i want my hash browns to have.
