Nothing is yummier than hot and fresh stone fired subs and pizza!
One afternoon I stopped into this little place on Leonard St. next to the Red Hot Inn purely out of curiosity. I found a hidden treasure, a unique establishment with scrumptious sandwiches and more. I ordered a pizza subwich and found it to be absolutely delicious.
Gus's offers Several appetizers, Breakfast, soups and sandwiches, deli and specialty sandwiches, several Grand Rapids themed pizza's and you can even create your own pizza the way you want it.
I highly recommended a trip to Gus's Original!

Jersey Mikes Subs is a Sub Above the Rest
Had some time to kill today so I dropped into Jersey Mikes to check out their fare and ended up with a regular size Big Kahuna Cheese Steak in front of me and boy was it good!
Now I know that this is a chain of sub shops and I like to report on mom and pop local places mostly but this place is worthy of a mention.
The sub was approx. eight inches long and grilled with onions, and peppers, white American cheese, mushrooms and I had them hold the Jalapenos. It was a great cheesesteak and it lived up to what the guy behind the counter stated: "The Best Cheese Steak this side of Philly"! I have been to Charley's more than once and had their cheese steak and it is really good also, but I think this one was bigger.
I enjoyed some Miss Vickie's Smoke House BBQ Chips and a Dr. Pepper with my Cheesesteak.
Hey, there are sub shops and then there are SUB SHOPS!
Jersey Mike's is a SUB SHOP!
Give them a try!

My First Time Ever at Chick-Fil-A!
Well, it was inevitable that sooner or later the nationally known quick service chicken restaurant would make it's way to West Michigan. Hundreds lined up for the grand opening and some free food. I am wondering if freezing their buns off out in the cold was worth it but hey, it was an experience of a lifetime for them.
So I managed to take a lunch over at the Chick-Fil-A on 54th near US 131 and Clyde Park in front of the Meijer store. I went inside and got in line behind 50 other people and the line stretching across the length of the entire restaurant mind you. It did not take that long to get through the line and place my order and the staff was friendly and helpful to this Chick-Fil-A green-horn.
I order the grilled chicken nuggets 8-count w/BBQ sauce to dip them in and of course the famous waffle fries, and a delicious chocolate shake to round things out. I am not someone who enjoys fast-food Chicken but I had to give this place a try so I went online beforehand and scoped out the menu so I knew what I wanted before I got in there.
The Grilled Nuggets were the best I've ever had, they were marinated to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning. The BBQ sauce made them even better and the waffle fries were great also. The shake was awesome, one of the better ones I've had and it did not taste like chemicals like Mc whatchamacallit's does. Although in all fairness I did enjoy the chocolate-mint shake they were offering over at Mc***** recently.
I will say this that the line inside moved way faster than the one outside in the drive-thru so you might consider going inside instead. Whatever you choose to do Chick-fil-a is an experience worth waiting for. The prices OK it is not the cheapest place to eat out at but is healthier than that cheeseburger you were thinking of having at that other place.

Jody's Restaurant - Rockford, MI
Past visits to Jody's I enjoyed the Grilled Cheese and the Cheeseburger, both were tasty although the Grilled Cheese seemed a bit small compared to other venues where I have ordered the same thing. Jody's offers a wide variety of food so everyone should be able to find something they like to eat.
Jody's is located on Division St. just off of Northland Drive, Give Jody's a try!

Herb and Fire Pizzeria - Grandville, mi
Want something different and a touch upscale from the ordinary pizza joint?
Check out Herd & Fire Pizzeria located in front of the Target Store and Cabela's in Grandville,Mi. This place is becoming popular lately because they serve really great food and it does not take long to get what you ordered.
When you walk in the door from the parking lot you go to your right and walk down a hallway straight across the restaurant, turn to your left and follow the path around into the Que line. You will place your order at the head of the line when you reach the kitchen area. You will watch them build your pizza right in front of you as other places are doing, places like Qdoba, and Subway where all the items are right in front of you.
They have several Signature Pizza's to choose from or you can build your own and they will make it your way. Watch as they pass your pie over and place in the amazing wood-fired oven to bake for 5-7- min or so.
When you reach the end of the Que you will pay for your food, get your beverages, and when you order is up they will place it on a rack and call your name. You pick up your own order which is no biggie, and enjoy the amazing food Herb & Fire, I did!

Marco's Pizza - Wyoming / Byron Center
There are more pizza places around these days that any of us can keep track of and more popping up every day it seems. One place I had never been to was Marco's Pizza, so I thought I would give it a try. I went to the over by Metro Health Hospital, though I would grab a lite lunch and ended up pigging out of some dang good pizza.
Marco's offers pizza by the slice for lunch, or they have a lunch deal at a decent price. I have four slices of pepperoni pizza and a 20oz Pepsi, none the less it hit the spot!
Marco's is located on the side of the strip mall located on the same side of Byron Ave. as the Health Park is. Like pizza you'll love Marco's! I did!

The Grand Villa Restaurant - Still a Decent Place to Eat
Hey, I stopped in here a couple weeks ago and had one of their wet burritos, not bad at all. The place was clean and respectable, the help was friendly and attentive to my needs, and the food was prepared exactly as I ordered, good deal. The prices were ok, could have been a touch lower in my opinion but I guess the cost of doing business these days has driven up the price a bit.
The Grand Villa and the Grand Villa Dungeon offer food and beverages to suit everyone's tastes. Give the Grand Villa a try one of these days!

Grillin' Wings and More - Grandville,MI
Summer is the time to fire up and bbq grill and enjoy some homemade bbq ribs, burgers, chicken, or some other kind of delicious meat or veggies. Located right next to Russ's in Grandville on the corner of Canal and Chicago Drive sits Grillin' Wings and More.
Good food and good service are always appreciated and this place does it up right with bbq wings in several flavors, burgers, dogs, and pit bbq in season. I have enjoyed the half-smoked chicken with homemade red skin garlic mashed potatoes, and the cheeseburger served on a Ciabatta bun.
They have a large enough menu that includes a really great pork bbq sandwich, brisket, chicken, and even liver and onions for certain people who like it, but not me LOL! Grillin' has a drive-up window, as well as carry-out, and of course dine-in with waitress service.
This place is worth a visit!

Mancino's of Holland
Mancino's is located on the corner of US 31 and James St. near the CD Exchange, and Red Wing Shoes.
Every time I have been in there they have had a Christian radio station playing in the background which adds a pleasant touch to the meal. They do not serve alcohol but have a nice selection of fountain drinks available and free refills.
Mancino's is also famous for its homemade 'grinders' or baked subs that are amazing! I also enjoy an order of garlic bread with my meal.
I've watched many people come in and pick-up their orders to go, but they also have a decent dine-in seating area if you so choose. So if you're looking for really good Italian food at a price that won't kill your budget, Try Mancino's Tonight!
