It’s been about two years since we ate at the original Real Food on Eastern and it was excellent. Vanessa, our server, explained that the corned beef hash is made in house and they will prepare it to your liking. So I opted without onions...and however they create it was exceptional. The corned beef had a sweetness that Vanessa thinks maybe from the brine glazing. My partner had a Feta omelette that was loaded with cheese and veggies. As a note they do not take credit or debit cards, only cash or local checks.More

We had a 15-20 minute wait but well worth it. So many options to pick from. No gluten free bread or wrap options but they have vegan and dairy free options.

Most of us expect generally the same thing from the breakfast place, but expect something fantastic at real food café. Everything was solid fresh, the bacon is crispy, and the cinnamon pancakes were pure evil delicious. Get out of Grand Rapids and come on over...here. You won’t be disappointed. Not one bit.More

Very fresh and clean neighborhood diner with large portions , a nice pancake batter, thick but moist pancakes, Tuesday special ( available everyday) was about right portions. Kids loved the huge chocolate pancakes. Too bad no mugs or shirts for sale. Cash only.

Impossible to say enough good things about this place. First time visit today, will return again and again. Service, price, food, clean, all leaps and bounds above all places in Grand Rapids.

My husband and I traveled in from Texas and we’re looking for a healthy and delicious breakfast. We read previous reviews and decided this would be a spot for us. We ordered the veggie skillet hash and another veggie skillet hash with avocado and corn...beef added, without cheese. This meal might be the best breakfast meal I’ve had in my entire life! The flavors complimented one another amazingly well. The price was right and the service was exceptional!!More

This place has some of the best breakfast I have ever had. The portions were large and the staff was incredibly friendly! We went out first morning in town and it was so good that we went back the next morning. Between the two days,...we had the breakfast burrito, eggs Benedict, farmer’s omelette, and Philly steak skillet. Every one of those items was great. We also tried their cinnamon roll and it was killer. Though we never had anything off of the lunch menu, it also looked great. I will definitely be going again.More

The service was very good and professional. Server was attentive and helpful but did not push us to fill out information the restaurant wanted to collect but is an invasion of privacy if not unconstitutional to collect. Make a reservation and be advised that you'll...have to wait outside to be seated. The food was good as well- I had French toast and wife had an omelet. Portions were plentiful and came with all the trimmings. There were three large and thick slices to my French toast order so I did not go away hungry as one often can after some of the more skimpy French toast offerings I've experienced. Wife's omelet was large too. Very well-done on their part.More

Stopped by on a recent visit to Grand Rapids. Food was quite good with generous portions and friendly staff. Remember however, cash only.

I have eaten here several times over the last few years. It consistently serves well-prepared food at fair prices. The staff is friendly. I would eat here at least once per week if I lived closer.

We were visiting from out of town and wanted to try a non-chain restaurant for breakfast. We noticed the high ratings of Real Food Cafe on Tripadvisor and decided to give it a try. The large selelction of food was great, and the bakery display...showed off their enormous cinamon rolls. Their food choices were unique and made it difficult to decide what we wanted to eat (everything looked so good!). The food was AMAZING! I had the Irish Omelet and my sister had the Nutela French Toast. I would definetly make the trip back to eat there again. My only complaint is that the retaurant is CASH ONLY. They do provide an ATM in the location but it is still an inconvenience.More

The food is proportionate , simple, well prepared, and pleasing to your taste buds. This is a great place to work on your manuscript, new book, or big school paper.
