The Gathering Place Restaurant

Their Belgium waffles are the closest to the actual ones from Europe that I have ever found in the States. I flew into GR and needed a place close by. The building is cute in a quaint neighborhood across from a little park that was great for walking off the food. I originally went and got breakfast. Then went back, before I flew out for lunch (was hoping they had breakfast available all day so I could get the waffles again, but they do not). I had the vegetarian wrap and it is a lot of food for the price! My dad got a burger and my mom got the triple Susan. Both enjoyed them and also said it was a lot of food for the price. Only marked the atmosphere down one because they seem to be in the middle of updating. It will look great when the updating is complete. I highly recommend it!

It was our first time visiting and dining. We googled breakfast places near Kentwood in Grand Rapids and the Gathering Place popped up and pics looked great. Quaint atmosphere and our server Bianca was so friendly and nice made great recommendations on omelette choices which I got the Southwestern and my friend got the Western omelette, both were delicious and coffee was great. Bianca was so nice we chatted briefly and she made us feel like friends and not just customers! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area❤️
