Reviews for Royals in Grand Rapids, MI
Love the atmosphere!! However the food was, just alright. I'm sure the drinks and boozy milkshakes would be fantastic though we... didn't try them. Read more
My husband and I had lunch with our daughter on Easter Sunday at Royals restaurant. What a beautiful place to eat. I ordered the... Lox toast which had smoked salmon, roasted tomatoes, green beans, fried capers, etc. It was wonderful. Very flavorful. I alsoordered the Avocado toast. That had pickled shallots, puffed grain, mashed avocado, and a deviled egg on top. Wonderful as well.Both toasts were on spelt bread. Our daughter had fish and chips with fries. I tasted her fish. It was very tender and tastedvery good. She liked it as well. My husband had the chefs salad. It looked great. He said it was good. The only thing negativehe said was that it had too much lettuce and could use a few more toppings. Overall, our lunch was very good. The restaurant wasclean. The waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely go back again to try another amazing dish. ?? Thankyou for a great experience. ???? Read more
A definite must try for brunch/lunch! The atmosphere is old school diner with a nice bright feel due to lots of natural light.... Party tried so many different brunch / lunch items and no one had any complaints. Everything was prepared well, tasted great,and service was top notch. Vegan options available made it a great spot for our large party! Read more
Great service, lot's of great options for both dogs and burgers, and they even have vegan dogs that taste as good as their meat... alternative!!! They have a deal on Tuesdays that's 2 dogs, a beer, and fries for $12 making it a perfect midweek destination.Full bar and a midsized selection of beers both on draft and in cans/bottles makes it easy to find a good drink. Will have to goback and check out brunch sometime!!! Read more
Awesome restaurant! I had a vegetarian chili dog ($5) and fries ($6) with delicious Royals sauce. My child had biscuits and... gravy with eggs ($12). Food is homemade and delicious. The service is awesome. The restaurant is spotless. Highly recommend! Read more
We ordered two appetizers and two entrees. They have a pretty disperse menu. Seems like they started with hometown favorites and... then slowly added quirky items to the menu through kitchen taste testing and trial n error. Appetizers we ordered includedKorean cheese corn dogs. They can w a drizzle of hot cheeto infused sour cream. That’s the pink sauce you see in the photo.The sauce’s color wasn’t particularly appetizing but it tasted fine. It’s def not an overtly spicy ???? flavor. Weordered the poutine and it was pretty good. I just really wish it had been served with more gravy on top. That was a commontheme throughout. Maybe it’s a choice due to presentation but I would’ve loved more sauce on the chicken parm sandwich aswell. My husband ordered a couple unique hotdogs. Both were pretty tasty. One had everything but the chicken sink… thingslike bacon and baked beans and mustard and tomatoes. The other had chili cheese and jalapeños. We enjoyed the experience. Ourserver was kind and attentive. I was surprised they weren’t busier for a Saturday evening but the weather was really chilly.Seems like the restaurant is really the place to be ona. Warm sunny day due to the massive patio area. Read more
Loved this spot, the food was delicious and the coffee was strong. I loved the theme, decor, ambiance, and our hostess (red... hair) and server were awesome. My only regret was not taking a cinnamon roll to go! We got there at opening, around 9am onSunday and it was empty! When we left after 10am that restaurant started to fill up. When I'm in GR again I will definitelystop by this place for brunch. Read more
First time at Royals..... Before I go into details about my experience there, I want you to know that I judge a restaurant who... serves breakfast items, by their biscuits and gravy. I LOVE biscuits and gravy!! So obviously that is what I ordered. THEY WEREPHENOMENAL!! ???? I'm even apt to name them as one of the best, if not, THE Best, I have had. And let me tell you that I havehad them alot. All over the country. I even make them on occasion myself. But these, yeah, these were damn good! The chives gaveit a nice kick. The rest of our order was just as fabulous. The toast was great, especially with the raspberry jam. I orded aside of sausage and yes, it was in a patty and not some frozen pre-made stuff. Even the home fries were super crisp andcrunchy. The waitresses and staff were very pleasant and prompt as well. We definitely will be back to run through the menuand try the other delicious items offered. So if you go to Royal try the BISCUITS AND GRAVY! Hats off to you guys!?????????????? Read more
