    Breakfast Burrito
    Grace D.

    Went in family and friends weekend at GV and were amazed! The food is DELICIOUS right along with the service! Our waitress was so sweet and the food came out super fast!

    Avocado toast

    Tried out a new place near our home and we were pleasantly surprised. The space is light and bright with an adjoining cafe. My daughter was happy they had croissants and my hubby was happy they had a birria breakfast burrito. I ordered the avocado toast and it was tasty and filling without that over full feeling. I appreciate the range on the menu. They also have a kids menu. The flavors were good. I think this might become our go to place for breakfast!

    Great food, the perfect brunch place if you're near GVSU. The ambiance was perfect . I had the greek omelette and oh my was it tasty . The strawberry cheesecake pancakes were amazing ! The service outstanding. This was my 1st time at Nest egg I would say it was overall a very good breakfast. The only downside was a 15-20 minute wait, but good things are worth waiting for! I will definitely be back and recommend this restaurant!!!

    Cute cute!

    What an adorable, clean, fresh food cafe! The service was amazing! My branded coffee cup looked like a special ordered hand made mug and was so cute! Not gonna lie I was a little worried it wouldn't fill my coffee needs but alas! The server was so attentive my cup never went below half! Hot coffee the entire meal for the win! The attention to detail was noticeable. Including the immaculate restroom. Love that! The owner Antonio came by to check on us. Cool guy. The food tho? Perfection. I had the banana walnut pancakes. I didn't even add butter! They didn't need it! So yummy! My husband ate the corned beef hash. I had a bite. The hash was perfect! Crispy on the outside and potato goodness on the inside. Nothing "Gordon pre made" here. If you are in this area? Stop on in. You won't be disappointed!

    Western Omelette

    Absolutely love the updates since it was the former Coney Island! This was our 3rd visit and the 2nd time I've got the Western Omelette with hash browns and raisin toast. Don't know what happened but my food was literally swimming in grease, undercooked hash browns and toast was cold and barely toasted. Our waiter did make me another order of potatoes, just as greasy. I'll maybe give them another try as there aren't many breakfast places to choose from here, but another bad experience and I'll be done.

    Loaded hash browns with eggs and Hollandaise sauce. Gluten free.

    It's the first week of full service. The wait was about 20 minutes at noon. Not too bad. The menu looked great!! Tons of French toast and pancake options too. I had the loaded hash browns with eggs on top and added hollandaise sauce when I found out it was gluten free. My hubby had the loaded oatmeal. Both were very good. We will be back.

    Side of bacon

    The place was SUPER cute!!! It's newer, but there was a lot of people there. The food was all decent, the sausage patties were pretty dry, though. Our server was AMAZING! We were greeted super quickly and friendly. Definitely would go again, just don't get the sausage. The bacon is 10/10.

    The Balkan...avocado toast w more

    Amazing food! This was my third time here so we tried different menu items. My husband had The Balkan (avocado toast w egg, sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, onion, & balsamic drizzle.) Wonderful flavor and presentation!! I had the Allendale omelet (bacon, ham, sausage & cheddar.) Yummy! Talked w one of the friendly owners today and learned that they go out of their way to get the tastiest local ingredients possible. He described their search for a local vendor with the healthiest, tastiest eggs. Good thing we live close, so we can come often and work our way through more of their delicious menu!

    Allendale is a bit of a blind spot for me when it comes to restaurants since I don't really make it…read moreto that part of town very often, but Mug Shots has been on my list for awhile so I was excited to stop in for dinner after a GV women's soccer game. The space is kind of smaller but we were able to sit right away. The theme of the place is kind of quirky - there are celebrity mug shots on the walls with descriptions of their crimes, as well as a "jail" photo op. Most of the menu items have jail/prison themed names too. It's definitely unique! I'd heard great things about the burgers so I knew I had to try one. They have nine different specialty burgers that come with two quarter pound patties, or you can substitute fried or grilled chicken for no charge. I got the Reveille (one egg cooked to order, bacon, and cheddar), and Nate got the Brushy Mountain with marinated chicken (you can also get it with fried chicken). Crinkle fries are standard, or you can get waffle fries or sweet potato fries for an up charge. Our food took a little bit of time to come out, but we enjoyed watching the MSU women's soccer game on the big TVs while we waited. The food was worth the wait, because it was super hot and fresh, and the burger was delicious. The patties were juicy and perfectly seasoned, the bacon was crispy, and the egg was cooked just like I wanted (over hard). It was a little greasy but I enjoy a greasy burger every once in awhile. I had a bite of the Brushy Mountain, which was also very good. The chicken was a little small but the flavors were great and the chicken wasn't overcooked. I'm so happy to have checked this place off my list, and will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area. If you like a juicy burger, you have to visit this place!

    Can't wait to try one on their amazing burgers I heard so much about!!! Sandwiches were amazing,…read moreservice was fast and friendly, and just loved looking around at all of the "mugshots"! This is my new go to place!! From Muskegon to Allendale, not a problem!!!!

    Food was tasty and good temperature (hot), made with fresh ingredients. Staff was friendly and…read morehelpful. No waiting for a table! Restaurant was clean.

    I hadn't been to IHOP in probably a decade and decided to bring my family of five for lunch…read more Service was extra slow. We waited about 45 mins before our food came (omelette, pancakes, a few strips or bacon & sausage, fruit). Food was lukewarm at best & plates were brought out in a weird sequence (2 of my kids got food, then after a bit came me and my husband's food, then a few more minutes came my toddlers food...). When the check came, I was SHOCKED to see a kids meal was $8.99!! The most expensive I've ever seen at any place. Here's an example of what is considered a kids meal: 1 pancake & 1 prepackaged container of apple sauce. $8.99!! Another example: 1 pancake & 1/4 cut banana slices w 2 cut strawberries...Here's the kicker...At the end we were charged for the kids drinks (a tiny cup of lemonade(s) and apple juice) $2.59/drink--I asked the waitress why that wasn't included with the meal since it's shown on the kids menu. I was told then that it's actually not included at all--wow, would've been nice to know, we would've opted for waters! Our food was about $12.99. Example of our food: 2 pancakes, hashbrowns, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of ham, 2 strips of bacon. & about $4 more than a kids meal & a lot more food than what they get. For a family of five, the bill came to $72 and some change before the tip! I'm just also here to say we took the family to dinner at red lobster and only spent $30 more than we did at ihop...for shrimp, lobster, snow crab legs etc...I think you get the point. We are all set on ever returning to IHOP.
