This review is for Terra's brunch! I went at about 1pm on a Sunday and there was no wait which was great. Parking can be a tiny bit tricky but on a Sunday I parked in the post office like most others and it was fine. I got a table with 2 friends right next to their kitchen which was pretty open and it was cool to see them cooking! Their breakfast pizza looked amazing, with hot hollandaise sauce poured on top, and it tasted even better! The perfect breakfast pizza perhaps. Their caramel apple cinnamon roll had little candied peanuts and little pieces of apple inside and it was perfect... and their mashed potato cakes were delicious as well! We loved everything we tried! I'll definitely be back, and I've sent friends there already who also loved their experience! read more

Never disappointed! We've been here many times though out the past 5 years, and we are grateful Terra has been a consistent mainstay in the East GR area. This time we had the Gazelle Salad and Mushroom Pizza with gluten free crust. The relationship between fresh vegetables, Farro and lentils with the lemongrass vinaigrette dressing in the Gazelle Salad was perfect. The selected cheeses and freshness of the mushrooms, kale, garlic cloves, and sea salt on the pizza was excellent. Thank you for always meeting and exceeding expectations. read more

The food here is GREAT. Truly. My drink was also very good. But for the prices, the atmosphere is very bland. Wobbly tables, weird lighting, kind of noisy. Based on food alone, I'll go back. But I'll probably stick with takeout. Be prepared to shell out $17 for a small burger. That was the cheapest entree/hand held on the menu. It was tasty though! read more

A surprising good restaurant! Sat outside because inside was pretty loud. I had a pizza and cheesecake. Both were outstanding. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and helpful in ordering. I'll go back. read more

My family and I have been coming to Terra for years, however it's clear that this restaurant has lost its culinary edge. They use to have excellent coffee, however now it tastes quite generic like diner coffee. The environment is beautiful, however we were left disappointed by a server who was not attentive. We came for breakfast, however found the potatoes to be cold, pork belly bacon to he dried out, and left confused there was not an option to order fruit with breakfast. We did see pizzas coming out that looked amazing! We hope Terra finds this review helpful to hear feedback for improving customer experience in the future. read more

The food at Terra is delicious! It's a great place for a casual date night, get-together with friends, and even works for a fancier dinner. Our server recommended the Hot Honey Pepperoni pizza and it was just the right balance of sweet and spicy. We also got the Kale Caesar Salad with salmon and it was so good it could have been a meal on its own! read more

My best friend and I made Sunday morning reservation for brunch in July. Even with the tables space out, there was plenty of available seating with the patio space open too. The service was great, as usual. We both ordered and loved the Terra coffee with house made Irish cream, amaretto, and rowster coffee. The carmelized sugar rim was a nice touch to sweeten each sip. I ordered the chilaquiles because it's one of my "can't resist ordering" items. Truthfully, it felt more like breakfast nachos because the chips weren't cooked in sauce. I still enjoyed the toppings and fried egg but missed the slightly cooked down tortilla chip element. The breakfast pizza looked really good, so that might be up to try next time! read more

This place was so great! The atmosphere, food, drinks, service, everything! Highly recommend. Super chill, very friendly waitstaff. Went for happy hour and was so pleased with the food - everything was so fresh & the portions were great! We split 4 things between 3 of us and still had plenty of leftovers. read more

I walked out of Terra floored. FLOORED. Hands down the best customer service experience I've had in I don't know how long. Plus the food was amazing. Starting from the beginning--we came in right at the tail end of their Saturday brunch. From the moment I walked in I was impressed--a very cool space--huge ceilings, lots of natural light, cool wood detail, etc. I really dug it. When we first sat down our awesome waitress asked us if that was our first time in. We answered in the affirmative and she welcomed us. This happens a lot of places and isn't THAT noteworthy but but it comes into play for the end of our meal so stay tuned! The brunch menu is fairly substantial with egg dishes, sweets, sandwiches, salads, pizza, etc. Lots to choose from. I was feeling eggy so I went with the mushroom omelet with the onion and rice toast. We also split an order of the potato cakes (basically small patties of pan fried mashed potatoes). So tasty! The omelet was fantastic. Simple but oh so good. Stuffed with creamy goat cheese and topped with a mushroom cream sauce with a side of mixed greens. I was in heaven. During our meal our very attentive and awesome waitress checked in on us on the regular. Neither my water glass nor coffee cup dropped below half full. As we wrapped up our meal (I joined the clean plate club) our waitress came back over with a complimentary sticky bun and a thank you card signed by all of the staff as thanks for coming in and trying Terra. It was that point that I was like "OMG THIS IS THE BEST PLACE!" I have been to many an amazing eatery with great service but never have I ever been given a THANK YOU CARD. Amazing. Oh and that sticky bun? The bomb. Prices for brunch are really reasonable ($11 for my omelet) and they also have a great wine list and brunch cocktails. We took a peek at the dinner menu and found that just as impressive. Counting down the hours before I can visit again. A+++ experience across the board! read more

Great brunch spot! Came here with a friend on a Sunday morning, and the restaurant was already busy at 10:30 AM - always a good sign of great food. Like all the reviews say, the interior of the restaurant is beautiful, with high ceilings and wood accents. We were quickly seated and were told about the farm-to-table concept of Terra. Although there were so many delicious options on the menu, both savory and sweet, I opted to go for savory and ordered the Hair of the Dog Bowl, which had cheddar buttermilk biscuits, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, caramelized onions, kale, white cheddar, smoked jalapeno hot sauce. It was amazing! I wouldn't think all these components would go together, but each bite was better than the last. I would come back to Terra if I was ever visiting Grand Rapids again: the breakfast pizza is next on my list! read more

I had such a great early dinner here! First of all the happy hour specials are a great deal and we're very much appreciated. I had the kale caesar and it was SO GOOD. Staff were friendly and attentive. I can't wait to come back! read more

Visting some GR friends, my host raved about the mushroom pizza here and said he was a regular. We went on a Saturday night. I guess this is a upscale, trendy hotspot in the city so he made reservations. He lives in walking distance which made things easier. My friend was on point about the pizza. He started out the evening with a poorly timed joke which only perturbed the waitress. It did not deter our solid service. Glancing over the menu, the menu had some interesting fare but mostly ho hum. I was impressed with the farm to table concept. The interior decor, sleek, modern, and minimalist. Someone mentioned being able to see the cooks which is cool. Although highly busy, our food came quickly. My table of 4 ordered beers, two pies: sausage/kale, mushroom/goat cheese/kale, and the mussels/chorizo app. Now, I must admit, I was hesitant about the kale but my boy was buying so who was I to complain! Needless to say, the kale actually complimented both pizzas shockingly well. The sausage pie had some of the best pizza sausage I've had. Top notch. Crust was on point. Nice wood oven char. Both outstanding pies and highly recommended. The mushroom one uses creminis I believe. The goat cheese was an amazing compliment to the shrooms and Kale. The mushroom pie is a white pizza so no sauce. The sauce was not even missed with this tasty pie. Although I love mussels, I didnt eat much but it was quite popular with the table. Only negative is I wanted to try some bourbon tea drink they had but they were out. Ordered a martini instead which did not come served in a martini glass, which is a small pet peeve. Craft beer choices but not an extensive beer selection here. When in GR, this will def be a go-to spot. People mention its a bit pricey. But as a upscale spot of this nature it is about right in prices. Quality makes it worth it. read more

I was overly impressed with Terra and the Sunday brunch that I was served today. We ordered the breakfast pizza, which was more than enough for a 2 people (about the size of a medium, 8 pieces) and was a good price when shared. Bacon, potatoes, kale, hollandaise, tomato sauce, and an egg made this the most perfect brunch item I've probably ever eaten. We both agreed and devoured the entire thing. Service was also fantastic and they have great coffee as well! Can't wait to go back! read more

Terra - Breakfast pizza from the brunch menu! Amazing! - New American Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Excellent. Takes the local movement seriously. They butcher themselves, only do local vegetables, etc. I disagree with previous reviewer about decor. It's nice and modern. Cocktails (about $8-9) were well mixed and excellent. We had the cheese plate and pickles for appetizer. Homemade pickled vegetables--slightly sweet but delicious. Nice selection of cheeses, mustard, honey. Hubby had a very respectable gazpacho. We had the fennel sausage pizza (they make their own sausage and it was good). Rabbit special. Chicken (which was a huge hit--very tasty and juicy.) macaroni and cheese with pork belly which was huge. I love cauliflower so that was a plus in it. Macaroni was great. Deserts were good: turtle cheesecake and fake key lime pie (really tart and delicious). Service was top notch. Go go go :) read more

1st there, they had good food and customer service. Great recommendations. Went to the one on lake dr. read more

Terra means land & this spacious place has lots of it to spread yourself out in during the lunch hour. The fare also clearly comes directly from the land: it's fresh and generally just in-messed-with. Options for the carnivore and vegan are abundant which is a rare find. And a rarer find: Dill Pickle Soup? I was intrigued and after ordering I was not disappointed. The soup was smooth and creamy like potato soup with a dill garnish that surprising was delightful and not overbearing. I got it with the generous portion of the gazelle salad with hearty farro and other goodies. The salad was tossed with a vinegar based dressing so if I had it to again I wouldn't pick two vinegar flavored foods but the taste of both were good. The sandwiches and salads of my lunch companions all hit the spot. I'll definitely look to go again my next time in GR. read more

Found this place via Yelp and the reviews did not lead me astray! I wondered if they had a paired down weekend brunch menu after re-opening after closing for the pandemic since the options were mostly different than what had been raved about in the reviews. My favorite part, though, was the kid's menu. Some stylish brunch places are not super kid friendly, but Terra brought out specific kids plates and bowls and silverware and made my toddler feel very welcome, even though he made a huge mess. I want to try it again, hopefully once the menu has expanded. They did an awesome job following COVID precautions! read more

Enjoyed our evening. Food and service were lovely. Went back for brunch it was better yet!

Loved the vibe, great selection of food and drinks. Great service. We needed a reservation on a weeknight and the restaurant was full. Definitely buzzing and noisy with chatter, we loved it. read more

Came here on a Wednesday with 3 girlfriends - we made a reservation on OpenTable so we were able to get a seat right away. Service throughout the meal was great - our server was attentive and stopped by often to check-in and refill drinks. Food was good - started with buffalo cauliflower & focashia bread - delicious. I got the mushroom pizza and it was just okay. Not super impressive but not bad.. just okay. Everyone else loved their meals! One complaint was the size of the table. For four women, 4 water glass, 4 drink glass, pitcher of water, app plates, silverware.. and then add two appetizers.. SO crowded. Like, plates barely fit. Once dinner arrived it was even more precarious. We had to get rid of apps sooner than we were ready because we just didn't have room on the table. I have heard great thinks about their brunch.. so interested to try that! All in all, I do look forward to coming back for a margarita. read more

Had lunch at Terra with some coworkers and first impression was good - atmosphere was rustic and smelled of a wood stove (where they make the pizzas). Next time I will for sure try the pizza! I got the kale Caesar with chicken and it was a good lunch portioned size. My coworker got the Caprese Salad and it was a super small portion so I would recommend getting some sort of protein on that! My other coworker got the burger but was disappointed that they didn't have fries. I would recommend for working lunches or for anybody looking for a patio. read more

We were hungry for a late lunch and some cocktails, wanted to sit outside, this was the perfect spot. Quick rundown: Service was perfect, and we had a great seat on the patio! Appetizers: Cornbread was delicious, the jalapeño jam was to die for! Asparagus with soft boiled egg was fine, but a little overlooked. Probably would not order again. Kale Caesar was amazing! Apparently it's very well known. The large was a good deal, for only $12, and the Anchovies were an amazing addition. Burger was average, not the star of the show but nice of them to include on their menu :) Dynamite rice dish had two types of fish but the yellowfin had a weird texture and it was a little bland. Maybe just a bit out of our comfort zone, as it was recommended by our server! Mushroom pizza with truffle oil was AMAZING! Absolutely the best thing we ordered Sausage pizza was good too with hints of sweetness, but the mushroom pizza really took the cake. The beet margarita was sooo good! Can't wait to come back and try more stuff once the menu has expanded. read more

This place has a lot of potential but the experience was not good. I got the gazelle salad and it was very flavorless. The added chicken I got was just shredded rotisserie chicken with no flavor as well. We also waited for a long time for our food (around 35 min) and did not receive any follow ups after we got our food. But the virgin margarita was really good. read more

Food isn't bad but also isn't going to blow you away. Their seating and ambiance really save it. Z

We really like Terra GR. Have been here several times and have yet to have a disappointing experience. The pizzas a great, salads are fantastic and the brunch is very good. Great to support a local business and their food delivers. read more

My husband and I went to Terra for our anniversary and we had a great experience. It was a very busy evening but the service and food was wonderful.

My brother invited me to have brunch today and I haven't done brunch in years. When I googled "brunch places in Grand Rapids" apparently there are quite a few restaurants offering brunch. Who knew? After looking at a few menus online, we picked Terra GR. The menu has a wide variety...and who can turn down a Bloody Mary? I'm vegan for all of January, so having some options was important. They are all farm to table, source everything locally and have vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. I had the Tofu Scramble which was really delicious! The pesto absolutely makes it really flavorful. My brother ordered the Pork Belly Hash which he enjoyed thoroughly. The Bloody Mary was good, albeit pretty standard. They make their own mix, but there wasn't anything out of the ordinary in it...at least that I could tell. But good nonetheless. The atmosphere was fantastic. Warm and inviting. We were there right when they opened at 10 am, and by 10:15 am the place was full. They do take reservations, which might not be a bad idea. Our server Anneke was a delight and stopped regularly to check on us and refill our water bottle. You could tell she loves her job! All in all, a great experience and we'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu! read more

Terra - The Tofu Scramble. Delicious! The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the pesto in it really made it flavorful. - New American Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Grand Rapids. The food and drinks are exceptional and the atmosphere is unique and inviting.

Had the stuffed acorn squash with quinoa and maple syrup. Do not recommend it was not as flavorful as I expected it to be and I was expecting the maple syrup sweetness to cut out the bland squash flavor. My boyfriend had the Pesto Buchatini and his was very good but I had to eat around the sausage as I'm vegetarian. The concept of this restaurant is great and I fully support it but my dinner wasn't great. read more

Awesome Saturday morning breakfast place! We sat inside, which was serene with high ceilings, well-spaces tables, and the best women of the 90s Pandora mix ever. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast pizza, yogurt and granola, awesome coffee, and delectable chorizo sandwich. Service was also very friendly and flexible with 8's requests to have things on the side or make substitutions. read more

We visited for my birthday dinner and they printed custom menus for us! Our server went above and beyond our expectations - so helpful and warm. My husband got the brined pork chop and it was so good I got jealous even though my scallops were incredible as well. Dessert was the turtle pie, served as a parfait and the perfect end to a phenomenal meal. We will be back. read more

Terra is amazing! The venue is stunning and has a beautiful decor. The area it's located has many different restaurant but this definitely stands out. For appetizers, we had the trout spread. It was delicious. The spread had a lot of different flavors and the trout was very pronounced. The bread was a little bit crunch to the preference but was toasted perfectly. Entrees I had the mussels and the girlfriend had the mac and cheese. We both enjoyed our meals and my mussels were somewhat overdone but the tomato sauce, which was great, helped bring down the toughness of the mussel. The wine and beer selection is very huge and I just had an Oberon for dinner. The service was okay, we ran out of water a few times before getting refilled but our waitress was helpful letting us know what was favorites on the menu. read more

The food is amazing. The chef is down to earth and excellent. They have interesting and creative fare that covers a wide range as well as the basic. Also they are open on Sundays and Mondays when most of the good restaurants in town are not open, so they make for a Sunday/Monday spot. read more

We went for happy hour and it was so good! I think we spent less than $40 total for a large salad, a pizza, and two cocktails. We also had plenty of leftovers. We had our two year old son with us and they were very accommodating for him as well. read more

Order the Mushroom Pizza. Eat half. Take the rest home. Eat the rest at like 1am. Perfection!

Went here on a recommendation and I am glad that I did. The menu had a lot of good and tasty options for us to choose from. I look forward to dining here again the next time I am in town. read more
