Thornapple Daily Grill in Ada Michigan
Nov. 2010 Update: The Thornapple Daily Grill is no longer in business,
construction on a new restaurant is under way. We’ll let you know
when it is up and running.
It is located at 445 Ada Drive, Ada, MI nestled in the back of the
commercial development on the banks of the Thornapple River in the heart
of Ada and less than 10 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids.
The Daily Grill is now part of The Gilmore Collection, a group who owns
and operates many restaurants in our area.
The restaurant boasts a wonderful bar, several dining rooms with
different views, an intimate wine cellar, and outside dining on the patio
in summer. Serving lunch or dinner, this restaurant has been a favorite
of ours for over 25 years.
We were first introduced to White Chicken Chili here and the TBA
sandwich, both favorites of ours. The menu offers simple fare and also
complex delights …….always delicious. The wine list always has some-
thing to offer that is new.
The chef prepares dishes with locally grown products which is a
plus for us. We live in a diverse agricultural area and there are many
small farms supplying food to our local restaurants and populace.
We have many memories of dinners, lunches, and good times with friends
at this local eatery. Please try it if you are in our area.
Look around, I might be sitting near by enjoying some chili and a
night out with friends.

My daughter use to work at the Daily Grill and loved the white chicken chili. Do you give out the recipe? I’d love to make it for her when she comes home. Denise
Sorry Denise, we don’t have the recipe for the white chicken chili that the Thornapple Daily Grill used to serve. We loved it, too.
There are several recipes available online that might be a good substitute. Good luck!
