And they are pretty reasonable for downtown.
Knowing the craptacular GR Press list, I'm sure they would have given that award to Chinamax in the foodcourt at Rivertown Crossings.

Who has the best weiner's in town?
2008 Tops in GR - potthole - 02-11-2009
They didn't have that category in the list. Yet another reason why it sucked so much.

I had that for lunch the other day. I love that place.

Oh, it's not awful, but I wouldn't dream of saying it's the best Chinese in all of West Michigan.

cuppie Wrote:Beltline Bar is ok. I would choose the Grand Villa/Dungeon for Mexican food though. Their Chips and Cheese is incredible. The cover their chips with a pound of cheese.
Never been to Beltline, so I can't compare, but I love the Dungeon's Mexican menu. Wet meat burrito + chips and cheese is the absolute best. The rest of their food is pretty good too if you're not in the mood for Mexican.
The Press list sucks, that's for sure. Are we sure this wasn't just David Mayo's list of restaurants he hits up when he gets the munchies?
2008 Tops in GR - potthole - 02-12-2009
Judging from Burger King being in a tie for "Best Burger", it wouldn't surprise me!

Mmm....dungeon mexican...delicioso. Italian, have to with carrabas....even though it's a chain, the food is fantastic....I've never had a bad meal there. The best is sitting at the pasta station and getting free appetizer samples right from the chefs.

Only if they bought a years worth of quarter page ads

Yeah it's a chain, but the 2 best meals I've ever had in a restaurant were from Carrabas

I like the Dog Pit, but that one place who's name I can't think of right now is pretty good.

I've never eaten at Yesterdog, the place I'm thinking of and still can't come up with the name of is on Ionia near McFaddens

They have a cart outside McFaddens after the bars close don't they?

TOP, you are thinking of the Ritz.
2008 Tops in GR - dumberthanzane - 02-19-2009
Yesterdog does have the best dogs in town
2008 Tops in GR - fustercluck - 02-19-2009
Corner Bar in Rockford gives Yesterdog a challange. MUCH better fries at corner bar.
2008 Tops in GR - potthole - 02-19-2009
Yesterdog barely beats out Grand Coney, which barely beats out the Corner Bar. Grand Coney's fries also nudge out the ones from the Corner Bar. I wasn't all that impressed with the Dog Pit at all.

Yes, Ritz Coney.
I'm still a Dog Pit fan though
2008 Tops in GR - potthole - 02-20-2009
I guess I'll have to give Dog Pit another try, their food just tasted bland when I went there last.
Anybody ever have the uber-burger from Grand Coney? I can't think of what its actual name is, but it's a cheeseburger with bacon, hot dog, chili and cheese on it. Seems like something found on "This is why you're fat" website featured on the show recently.
2008 Tops in GR - Titan! - 02-20-2009
It's a great place for when they kick you out of the bar...
I think imma stop there on my way home from the lab...
2008 Tops in GR - potthole - 02-20-2009
Maybe that was my problem... ate there before the drinking started.

-1 for the Dog Pit, because if I order a "Chicago-style" hot dog, I shouldn't have to say "no chili" and "no ketchup" by definition.
2008 Tops in GR - potthole - 03-12-2009
Speaking of Chicago style dogs, there will be a new food stand at Whitecaps games this year that sells 'em.

Yeah, they do seem to like the ketchup there
