All three times, I have tried different foods and beer. Each time, the food was absolutely great, I love the beer, the service is excellent, friendly, fast, and the place is clean and nice. I've had the olive burger, fish and chips and Haus Mac and had them add fried chicken. Truly great, all three times. My family has had the kids burger (small, slider size) but REALLY GOOD, tons of cheddar cheese melting off it, pizza which was great, bacon-wrapped hot dog, great, and we all love the waffle fries and the seasoning on them. I haven't had a bad beer yet, but I recommend the Mortarhead IPA is it's one of the best IPAs I've had in a while! Haven't tried dessert there yet, but it's likely in my future. They have seating to accommodate small or large groups (we were 6 yesterday and had plenty of room in a both). Lots of TVs, which isn't always my favorite, but I appreciate that Bob Ross was on one of them, lol! Overall, this place is great, and we intend to keep going back here!

We were seated right away and our server was super helpful and had great recommendations. The menu is huge and everything sounded really good. They feature some things that you don't see elsewhere in town, like the Cudighi, which is a Yooper classic! Nate ordered that and I got the firecracker salmon bowl. I really enjoyed the food - the salmon bowl was a good portion and very fresh. I liked the veggies and the flavor was Asian-inspired. The Cudighi sandwich is basically a pizza sub with a spicy sausage patty that's been baked in mustard. It's unique and interesting, and Nate enjoyed it. We don't get to the NW side of town that often, but I would make a special trip to visit Roasted again. They have weekly specials and features, and a Saturday prime rib dinner!

This is a hidden gem! I was blown away by the high quality of the food. I shared in 3 dishes: a…read moremediterranean salad with chicken, a turkey panini, and a mushroom pizza. All were 5 out of 5! The salad had high quality greens and veggies, roasted chicken, and a from scratch dressing that I could've drank it was so good. The panini bread was fluffy and light. It turns out it is house made bread! And the pizza was delicious. We added marinated mushrooms to the mushroom pizza which was extra yummy. After eating I was chatting with the owner and it turns out that they take great care to use the best ingredients. They use unbromated flour, highly filtered water, olive oil & honey, scratch made dressings, local greens, etc. What a pleasant surprise from a little pizza joint!! Try it, you will not regret it!

The dressing was amazing and the price, $14 was fair given that the salad was massive and packed in the box.

The service was also great, ordered from the app and they were quick even during lunch rush!

You can sit out on the lawn over a small Vineyard outside on the patio, or inside the uniquely crafted barn. They offer flights for wine, cider, or Sanria. You're able to do a combination of any of them in those flights. They also have a beer and that alcoholic drinks as well. I try the charcuterie board and the goat cheese fig spread appetizer and both were delicious. I also got the steak thinner. It was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. They offer different special events. You just need to check their website or social media a great place to stop if you don't feel like traveling all the way up north to the Vineyards and want something a little more local that has that same feel.

A very odd building. I'm sure this is do to the history of the building. There are 2 entrances the…read morefront and back, however the parking lot is in the back. The back entrance starts in a narrow dimly lit hallway that then goes up a dark stairway to another door. Inside is another hallway that leads to the bar area of the restaurant. From here it's confusing because you don't know where to check in. Located here are some high top tables, plus the bar. Halfway into the room in an opening on the right which is another room with booths and regular tables with TV's playing sports. Here the atmosphere is very sports bar. Lastly on the opposite side of the bar area you entered in is another hallway that leads to a video game area and the front entrance. Also on the restaurant side is a door leading to a small outdoor patio area. The menu here is very unique with a great selection of Sandwiches and Hamburgers. I ordered the Pot Belly Pig Sandwich ($15), which is Smoked pork, ham, bacon, american and jack cheese, topped with a bourbon glaze on a pressed ciabatta. I upgraded to Cajun Tater Tots ($2). The sandwich was delicious. It was a great combination of flavors and was very filling. The tots were somewhat spicy and very good. The person I was with ordered The Amish Black & Blue Burger ($14), which is a Blackened burger topped with melted bleu cheese, deep fried onions, fries and homemade bleu dressing. She stated many times how great the burger was. The service was very good with quick and attentive service. Overall an easy 5 star review. Would I return? Yes. It's not close so it'll have to be a special occasion type of thing, but definitely yes. We left through the front entrance and their was a side walk along the side of building leading to the back. A much better way to come and go.

They have a great menu and I've really enjoyed almost everything I've had to eat here. Not a great place to go if you're on a diet, but they do have some yummy salads. People are more likely to go here for things like loaded tots, burgers, and burritos. Smothered with cheesy goodness, of course. They have cheap drinks, friendly service, and overall good vibes.

Such a charming, atmospheric little place with beautiful presentation and wonderfully prepared food. The menu is small -- exactly as it should be at a place like this. The four of us ordered four different dishes and shared tastes of everything, and every single dish was excellent. And a little tip: order the tea! They source their teas from a specialty supplier, and you can tell they put thought into even the smallest details. The service was absolutely outstanding. Littlebird was one of those places that made our visit to Grand Rapids even more memorable.

I adore crab so ordering that was a no brainer. Their coffee is strong. It took a ton of cream to change the color... though it was delicious with free refills for $5. The omelette was heaven. All the flavors melded well and I appreciated the crisp acidic salad to cut the richness of the omelette. My only critique is wishing the crab salad topping was a bit more decadent. For $21 I was hoping for big lumps of crab rather than cool shredded mayo based salad. All in all, I love this place, I love the concept. It was quite busy and was thankful to snag a seat at the bar. The service was friendly and quick. Best hipster establishment I've patronized in a long time. Make a reservation if you have a group or pray there is a seat at the bar. Keep doing your thang Littlebird!!

The indoor/ outdoor space blends together in the warmer months with cool hangout spaces and game areas. This place is truly a work of art. Drink lists abound, but because it was lunchtime we stuck to food. We were not disappointed. Everything was well conceived and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the bone bread next time, stew and scrumptious sounding salads. Today we had the kids smash burger, Brussels burger with frites and fried haddock and frites with a delicious coleslaw. The best part? Different sauces to choose to dip the fries in. The curry ketchup was the best (special shout out for *actually* cooking the curry into the ketchup) as it did not taste of raw curry. They definitely don't cut corners here. We noticed, and we appreciated it. We will be back.

Yes, they have a small parking lot, and don't fret if you have the park on the street like we did, as we were seating promptly and it didn't feel too crowded. Since we were seated at high tops near the bar, the bar tender was our waitress, and she is literally the nicest, good energy, engaging human ever! She also whips up the custom, creative mimosa recipes, kudos to her for her awesomeness! I ordered the Shakshuka, flavorful, delicious, would order again. Even as a non-vegan, it was satisfying and would recommend to everyone. Husband had the 1964 Worlds Fair Waffle, and it was tiny. Not what you envision when you think of Belgian waffles. He also ordered the Belgian Forest Bacon, again VERY small portion, so much so that at the end of the meal, he had to order a side of the Smashed Maple Sausage. Both our drinks (I had the mimosa) were fantastic and worth ordering, loved the glassware! Aside from the small portions of waffle, bacon, and sausage, the cheerful vibes here are contagious, and I'd dine here again in a heartbeat!
