Just a few blocks away, you will find Tupelo Honey Sothern Kitchen & Bar. Yup, another place for breakfast and cocktails. Grand Rapids is wild like that. Open from 11 AM to 8PM, it's all-day brunch with the taste of Southern home cooking. Whether you're craving eggs benedict with potato wedges or chicken fried steak with fried okra on the side, they've got you covered. Not to mention the delicious brunch cocktails.
Bring your Southern cravings to this beautifully high-ceilinged and spacious venue. The outside is deceptively industrial - located on the first floor of a downtown Grand Rapids tower, but the inside is decorated like a terrace with vines climbing pergolas and warm wooden booths. You can also dine outdoors on a nice day under the signature blue parasols.
