telling people about this place. It's too good and too small! As it is I have to wait forever to eat here. But, it's worth it. If you want to treat yourself to an amazing breakfast, go early, put yourself on the list, go home, pick up your sweety and go back. Though, they probably frown on that. So, just... more

Great neighborhood place to get great food. No cash - they have an ATM near the back door. Omlets, pancakes, Tuesday Morning special, of make up your own delight. If you don't know someone the first trip, you will by the second trip. more

As lovers of all things breakfast, my husband and I were impressed by the quality of food this place is turning out at their Eastern Ave. location. There's nothing worse than a place that only does breakfast and then does it with no flavor, no creativity, no specialties. You get the idea that the owners here actually LIKE food! When... more

Everyone told me you've got to go to the Real Food Cafe, it's amazing. I don't understand why anyone would think this place is amazing. It's one thing to be a hole in the wall greasy spoon with some really excellent dishes, it's another thing to a hole in the wall greasy spoon and have the same garbage I can... more

I drove here for breakfast from a downtown hotel, and I would not do it again. Service was slow (one waitress for all the tables). The food was well-cooked but not unusually so. I don't understand why this restaurant is as highly rated as it is. Maybe my expectations were too high. more

This place is small and always busy although you are usually at a table within 5 minutes. The food is great, med-large potions. Only Breakfast & Lunch type food is served. Think burgers, sandwhches, speciality salads and a large breakfast section They do not take Debit/credit cards but do have an ATM in the back of the store. I've never... more

The RFC has the best pancakes in the world. I'm not even a pancake fan (usually they're bland, dry, and boring), but these pancakes are the best I've ever had. more

The crowded waiting area says it all. This is my favorite breakfast place in Grand Rapids, and I've been to quite a few places. Great food, great value. Just remember to bring your cash, since they don't accept credit or debit cards. more

What better sign of a good eatery than a crowd waiting for a seat nearly all day, every weekend? Both the Alger Heights location and the one on Northland Drive do a thriving business--and with good reason! Yep, you'll have to wait so wear comfy shoes and use your deodorant. It's worth it. I've never seen anyone turn up their... more
