Vitale’s Restaurant & Pub Ada Michigan

Located at 425 Ada Drive in the heart of Ada.

A bright and airy atmosphere with all the traditional Italian favorites

Vitale’s is known for: spaghetti, lasagna, pizza, and all-American

favorites also. They have been satisfying customers for many years

in the Grand Rapids area, though the move to new digs in Ada has

been recent. The new restaurant and Pub has lots of room for

dining and the Pub in back has room for a good sized crowd.

My wife likes the grilled salmon salad and I like just about

everything. If it has PASTA in it, I like it! Or you can meet

your friends for a beverage of choice in the pub and watch

your favorite team claim victory on the large TV screens through

out the Pub area. They also have a pizza bar for lunch that has

lots of food options.

Grand Rapids Michigan Good Eats = Real Food Cafe

Grand Rapids Michigan Good Eats = Real Food Cafe

Where Something Good is Always Cooking

Breakfast ~ Lunch~ Take-Out ~ Bakery

The Real Food Cafe is THE REAL DEAL! We probably go there for lunch at

least once a week. They only serve breakfast and lunch but it is better than

my Mom made. Their breakfasts are almost legendary. They serve

breakfast anytime and what a breakfast…..the home fries are just too

delicious to describe.

The pancakes are made with real buttermilk, fresh eggs and served with real

butter. Below is the picture of my two eggs scrambled and home fries.

The home made soups are always delicious. The burgers are 1/3 lb. of

Angus beef. The sandwiches are huge and definitely satisfying.

The omelets are mouth-watering.

The baked goods such as cookies, cakes and pies are all home made on site

and worth sacrificing the diet for. The crew and wait staff are all friendly and

genuinely happy at work. It just makes you feel good to be there. It is

always full of people eating “real food” and enjoying themselves.

One of our favorite people at Real Food is “Rosie.” She has known

the chef, Frank, since he was a little boy and is always busy seating

people, getting drinks, and generally bustling around with a friendly

word and smile to all.

They have recently expanded and added an additional location:

If you like “real food made with real ingredients by real people,”

this is the place to go.

More Than Tacos at Taquitos Mexican Grill ~ Grand Rapids Michigan

Posted on August 1, 2009 by Terry & Bonnie

We were referred to this new restaurant downtown Grand Rapids

by our friends, John & Betsy, who live in Heritage Hill. They met us

for lunch at Taquitos a couple of times.

Taquitos is located at Division Ave in the old Herkimer Hotel at

the corner of Division and Cherry streets. We really liked the way

the building was remodeled, it still has the ambiance of an old bar

and restaurant that existed there years ago but with current flair

and lots of light. No dark and dingy digs here. We also liked the

food and the service. We want to encourage the redevelopment

going on in this Heartside District of Grand Rapids.

A few years ago, this area was populated mainly by homeless

people and shelters.

Taquitos is located in the bottom of the old Herkimer Hotel Building

at the corner of Division and Goodrich. The Heartside District is

growing into a local "arts community" and we welcome new

businesses like Taquitos.

Now that you have some background, we can get down to

the good stuff……the food. Authentic Mexican fare at Taquitos,

a clean, friendly restaurant with great food. We love Mexican food,

the more authentic, the better. Mole is on the menu, which is

seldom seen outside of Mexico. Since it was a hot day, we went

for a chicken burrito and the chicken salad. The chicken salad had

a light lime vinagrette and was delicious, according to Bonnie. The

chicken burrito was good also, lots of chicken and it was available

with sauce or without. They serve hot tortilla chips and a mild salsa

for an appetizer. Our waitress was smiling and happy to wait on us.

Here are a few pictures of Taquitos. We will be back for sure!
