Wolfgang's Restaurant

At this moment I just arrived and got lucky because It was one single spot at the breakfast bar. While sitting here drinking my hazelnut coffee watching all the beautiful display of food come out. Patiently waiting for my food. I am about to try a cafe Wolfgang! Everything thing is Great Drew is Greeat the Food is Great!!!!

Wolfgangs is symphony of a breakfast! The menu is an Opera of options and the service and atmosphere is a cornucopia of excitement! Tiramisu pancakes! Really! Fluffy pancakes soaked in coffee, topped with whipped cream make for an amazing experience. Homemade cinnamon rolls and crispy, salty bacon make for the perfect accompaniment. Excellent, friendly service make Wolfgang’s a must try in Grand Rapids!!

Amazing breakfast! - Missad - $16.50: YUMMY! The main was eggs, chicken, Cajun sausage, turkey, mushrooms, onions and green peppers. This was a great balance of flavors for most. The Cajun wasn’t too spicy (although I personally would ask for it with more Cajun next time). I don’t care for mushrooms at all, but this was subtle enough I didn’t mind it at all. The hashbrowns were just right. The cheddar cheese and hollandaise was great (though I would personally top it with more hollandaise). The slice of English muffin toast was a bit off at the bottom to cut, but the flavor and texture it added made great sense. - Coffee - $3: Great coffee! I’ve been to several restaurants that charged about $3 for coffee and this was by far the best. It was higher quality coffee and brewed perfectly. I had two cups and both were perfect. - Service: Quick and helpful. Always made sure we had everything we needed. There was a mix up of orders and bills on one visit. - Atmosphere: Typical casual breakfast place. It was quite loud once when we visited and quiet another time, but there was no music or anything. It was just the people talking. - Conclusion: I’d recommend them. Visited a few times on Saturday mornings.

OMG this place was and is amazing. I suggest getting there early or joining their wait list. They get busy quick. The food was amazing and our waitress Laurie was Awesome. She helped us pick between a couple options. We got lemon berry pancakes and this uncle rons skillet and omg it was fantastic. We came back the next day and it was just as good. I 100% recommend this place. Also our server for Sunday his name was Jay and he was amazing aswell. Great staff,food, everything. 10/10 no question

Wolfgang’s is a nice place to have breakfast. This was my first visit, and things went well. The staff was quick to take my order and checked in with me often. I had the western deluxe omelette, and it was a good choice. It was a good sized omelette without being super sized, and the sides were delicious. I especially liked the redskin potatoes. The food quality seemed good. If I lived closer I’d definitely consider this as my main breakfast spot, and I’d have no issue visiting it again.

I drove up from Kalamazoo for what turned out to be a disappointing appointment. To cheer myself up, I decided to randomly pick a breakfast place. I'll tell you what, I walked out of there very happy and very full. The atmosphere was nice and pleasant. The server who's name I didn't get (cool hair, ears pierced) was incredibly friendly. I got the 'Uncle Ron's Skillet'. I was so good. I mean, damn. I was full halfway through it and stuffed, but I pressed on and ate the rest. It was that good. Left feeling like Kzoo needs to step it the hell up. I forgot what good breakfast food actually tastes like. I don't know what else to say. I never leave reviews, but I simply had to. It's probably a good thing I don't live in GR. If I did, I'd become a regular and gain 50lbs. One last thing and I'll stop gushing. I've lived a a couple of large cities and a few smaller ones. This place is better than just about any diner I have been to. I'm super picky about where I spend money on restaurant food. Totally worth it. Anyway, thank you for making me fell better.

The food was amazing!! The waitress, I believe her name was Janice? Was prompt with service and kept my drink full! Very nice and accommodating. The decor had like photos of the owner pasted onto them which I thought was harlarious!! Definitely a great place for breakfast and I will be back!!!!

Yooooo, the reviews here are warranted. First time in GR and all the forums and reviews pointed here. Just go, don't debate, get the lemon and blueberry pancakes and get you a missad! The service was great and the food was just impressive. Highly recommend and will be back for the tiramisu pancakes.

There is no other Breakfast like this! It's not even close being way far out in front in the Breakfast World. Diner's Drive-inns and Dives should really get to Wolfgangs, but not to increase business. My gosh, I've waited knowing that the best in town (America) will soon let me into Breakfast Heaven! Service is Special there and the Ambiance is Great! And the wait and exspectation on a busy day can be dreadful! This place is established and genuine!

Nice local eatery. Went in on a Monday morning, no wait. Be prepared for a long wait on the weekend. I had the hazelnut coffee and a breakfast burrito. I like the prices are relatively low compared with the trendy new spots. My meal was 15.00 for coffee extra sour cream and the breakfast burrito. Good value in my mind.

It's like an upgraded diner breakfast. We've brought the kids here numerous times. The skillets are my fav.

Weekday work brunch with arrival around 11 on a Tuesday. Atmosphere was busy, but there were plenty of tables available. We were greeted and seated immediately. The hazelnut coffee here is some of my favorite! And, I just had to try the Mahoney Cakes just due to the name. Overall they were decent with huge portions. Personally the cakes were done perfectly, but the inside filling wasn't sweet enough for me (my fault for ordering based on my name ). I'm sure we will visit again, as I've dined here three times despite not living in the city and had great service and good quality food for a good price every time.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why I haven't reviewed Wolfgang's earlier. True I haven't eaten here in a few years (out of sight, out of mind) but when I did today, memories of previous really good breakfasts came to me. After many year hiatus, I didn't notice any changes. Same really good food and service. I went back to an old favorite-Banana bread French Toast topped with strawberries and bananas along with crisp bacon that was nice and crisp but not burnt. Banana bread was very, very tasty. My wife enjoyed eggs (which she said were cooked perfectly) toast, hash browns and bacon. We need to keep Wolfgang's on our radar as this place is absolutely worth coming back to.

Just as good as I remembered! It's probably been 10 years since I last visited and it's still a wonderful breakfast choice! We arrive around 9am on a Friday morning and were quickly seated. Tables in the side dinning area near the kitchen is cozy (would be tight with 4 people). Choose the Hazelnut coffee - fresh and wonderful! Ordered 2 eggs and served 3, very crispy delicious hashbrowns with onions - spectacular! Bacon was just okay. Grateful the server double checked my toast then brought an order dry (they use butter - I have an allergy). Husband enjoyed his scrambled eggs and was thrilled with the Polish sausage! Started our day off spectacular. We will be back!

SOOOO yummy and a classic American brunch spot. Homey and cozy vibes. Prices are very reasonable! Their menu is huge! The sweet plate we ordered allowed us to do a half portion which I thought was really considerate! The Keane skillet is my favorite if you are a corned beef hash girly There is ALWAYS a wait bc it is that good. Try to go earlier if you can but for example on a Sunday at 10am it was a 50 minute wait. My go to spot for brunch that makes me so happy :)

Great place for breakfast with a varied menu and all done well. Only problem is evryone knows that so it is often very crowded.

Service was great! It was our first time visiting and she was patient and helped us with choosing what we ordered. Drinks- coffee was "eh" according to others. A lot of tea options with honey and lemon packets available as well. Biscuits and gravy- really good flavor to the gravy. The biscuit was really buttery and not dry at all. Breakfast quesadilla- loved this. The salsa is sooo good, not spicy. It is a THICK quesadilla. Blue crab Benedict- comes with egg whites mixed into the blue crab mixture and the person that ordered this really enjoyed it. They also got crispy hash browns with grilled onion. Necessary if you like crispy potatoes. There was an option to do diced potato too. This was an add on. Ron's skillet- loved the cinnamon bread. Skillet was rated 3/5- slightly greasy and not crispy potatoes. They got a side of hollandaise and didn't feel it was great. Overall a great price for the meal and we would visit again.

We have not been here in a long time....not sure why but it was sure a joy to be back. My fave is the Dewey, I get it as a scramble. The best part is the warm salsa, it is so, so good. I also love the hazelnut coffee!

Wolfgang's keeps getting better and better. It's a down to earth place with great food, friendly staff, large portions and reasonable prices. I wished we lived closer because I could see myself easily becoming a regular here. So far I've tried a good amount of their menu and my tastes change based on my cravings. However, I can easily say all the stuff I've had has been fantastic. If you're wanting something savory, I'm a huge fan of the breakfast quesadilla, The Dewey, the sirracha crab Benedict, the Sanchez omelette is also a solid choice and looks so pretty when presented. If I'm craving sweet I absolutely adore their tiramisu pancakes and their cinnamon raisin French toast topped with fresh whipped cream. Drool worthy! I hate hazelnut coffee, for me, regular is the way to go. Kids menu is reasonable and plentiful with plenty of options. This place is def a neighborhood spot that is also kid friendly. In fact, they have kids art adorning the walls. Did I mention the staff is friendly and efficient. Wolfgang's is doing it right.

We had breakfast at Wolfgang's Restaurant. As we came in we were greeted with a smile and made to feel welcomed. Our waitress was helpful. She help us work through the menu making suggestions if what meal to try. She took a lot of time and was was patient with us. Again we felt welcomed. Our food came out to our table quickly. It was fresh and layered with flavors. Served to us hot. As we often to we share our meals with one another. Both meals were excellent. The coffee was hot. We were both happily content with what was served. My only negative thought that took their score to a four star. Was the building. It needs a little TLC like updating the old paneling and replacing the tables and boost. Also There also was a cold draft in the building. My wife kept her winter coat on the whole time and still couldn't seem to get warm. But hey, it's a place we will come back to again. We are often in Grand Rapids and this place will make our list. We will revisit this place, good food at a good price. I would recommend you give a chance just don't forget to wear your coat :-).

The breakfast choices are pretty standard fare, but it is very well done. I ordered a mushroom, onion, and cheddar omelette with rye toast. The omelette was very fluffy, and stuffed with ample toppings. It was about 3/4" thick and filled half my plate! It definitely filled me up. I chased it with some iced coffee, perfect for a late spring morning. The coffee, while nothing fancy, was done well - not burnt or stale, but clearly freshly brewed. My service was friendly, prompt, and everything I could hope for. Prices were pretty normal for these days. While I wouldn't go out of my way for it, I will definitely come here again. Strongly recommended!

This place is horrible Ordered the Benedict meal with crab. It comes on toast and was served in literally 4 minutes. Means it all sits in the back ready serve, like warm and didn't taste good at all I do not understand why this place is popular but my friends meal also was not good Clearly the focus is not on quality and freshness Very disappointed

I can't emphasize how great this restaurant is. It my family's go-to spot for breakfast/brunch whenever we're in the Grand Rapids area. It's pretty popular, so if you're going on a weekend morning prepare to wait for a bit but it's in such a cool strip, you can walk around to the interesting shops or check out the cute houses. We've tried skillets, omletes, and even the breakfast quesadilla and everything is so tasty. I don't know how they cook their hash browns but they're the crispy-iest I've ever had. You can't go wrong with anything off the menu and the service is always so kind.

This place was so good! I sent my mom's bf to grab me some take out from here and I was not disappointed. It was delicious!

Decent food but not even close to the best in GR. It's one of those older restaurants that you will get a good size meal for a good price.

This place is hot garbage. The one and only time I ever ate here, I got an eggs Benedict that sounded like it would have tomatoes and basil on it. What came out looked like someone had just DUMPED a can of tomato basil soup on top of an eggs Benedict. It was literally swimming in liquid. Now I drive by this place every weekend and see a line of people outside waiting to get in and ask myself why this town has such awful food culture that this horrid place attracts such a following. Go down the road to basalt or, better yet, just fry some eggs and bacon from one of the local butchers at home. Please for the love of God stop waiting in line to eat here.

Wolfgang's is the spot for breakfast. We have been here several times and it's always worth the wait. There is a reason it's crazy busy. We go with an adult family of 5-7 each time and we all leave wanting to come back.

Great brunch eats. We enjoyed our skillets. The bread lady was a great combo of banana bread(cakey) and peanut butter. Delish. Definitely would come back and recommend. KIM was the icing on the whole dining experience.

Best skillet I've ever eaten. And I eat a lot of skillets. Server told us she'd been there 15 years and her enthusiasm shines through all she does. Delightful place!

Quintessential Eastown! They keep the coffee flowing. A great place to meet people for breakfast.

While visiting family in the area, I heard good things about Wolfgang's and was impressed by the Yelp reviews. Loving local brunch spots when traveling, I was excited to give it a go just before the trek home. I had trouble determining if they were open for New Year's Day. No social media update, no Google update, no ability to make an online reservation for this day, and online carry-out order placing was closed. I tried calling a few times but it said the line was "unavailable." Just before giving up, I finally got through and was told they'd be open 'til 2:30pm. When we arrived, the place was a little busy. The ambiance/decor is like grandma's house, it's cozy. However, the hostess was quite frazzled, clearly in a bad mood, which doesn't set the precedence for a new-to-us restaurant very well, but we put our name in, got a text, and was told we'd have a table in 45 minutes or so when we got another text. There's not much of a waiting area (only about 4 people can stand in there without blocking staff) so we went out to the car to wait. Parking is limited but we found a street spot. Typically you have to pay to park here but it was free for the holiday. We had a table within 30 minutes. Our waitress was very sweet. We must have looked like locals because she expected us to order quickly but once we explained visiting from out of state, we no longer felt any type of rush. I tried to order a water with lemon but they don't have lemons, just lemon packets (??) so I got coffee. They have a half coffee/half hot cocoa drink but they were out of whipped cream (it's so simple to make from scratch whipped cream, it surprised me that they didn't just make more since several people tried to order this but didn't want it without whip). They also have their own signature coffee (not recommended by my waitress) and hazelnut coffee - under $3 for bottomless, great price. The recommended hazelnut coffee was decent (I didn't notice any hazelnut flavor) and they have almond milk as their only dairy substitute option, served in a little plastic cup with a lid. The food was somewhat of a let down. I was happy to be able to order half of an eggs Benedict dish so I could try that and something else. While the English muffin was perfectly toasted, the egg poached well, and the hollandaise deliciously slightly lemon-flavored, the Canadian bacon aka ham was so try and tough (like it had been cooked and re-cooked repeatedly), it was challenging even for my knife to cut through. The blueberry pancake (you can order just one) arrives with three little blueberries until you check the bottom then a-ha, blueberries galore (I'd recommend serving it upside down for this reason)! Unfortunately the batter was...rough; hard to explain but a tough texture. I only ate a couple bites with the luke-warm syrup, as did my husband with his plain pancakes; he was also not impressed (and we are not picky pancake folks). His toast was fine, pretty charred, and he said the eggs and sausage patties were good (he was happy that hot sauce was available). Our waitress got pretty busy as the time got closer to 2:00pm. They close at 2:30pm but turned the open sign off at 2:00pm. We paid and hit the road, deciding in unison that when we return to visit family here again, we don't need to come back. No shade whatsoever but this would be an excellent stop for the Restaurant Impossible show - a little expert help could take this place from "meh" to "great!"

Yum! Great food, wait staff is really good and enjoyed our breakfast very much! Will come back again!!

Most delicious tiramisu pancakes you ever want to eat! This place is a wonderful with great service and food.

A classic breakfast spot in Grand Rapids, Michigan. On the weekend, lots of people waiting to get in. Parking is a challenge but the food is great. I like the french toast, and my wife likes the blueberry pancakes. It can be noisy at times.

The sidewalk was a nightmare for me. I am 80 years old and black ice is not my friend. I observed younger people walking the sidewalk with no fear. I also seen a young lady by herself in crutches barely moving because of the potential danger. This shows the restaraunt has little respect for the handicap and older people. Yes it would take work to maw it safe and not take the Lazy way out. The fix is getting the sidewalk clean prior people walking on it if possible. If not use an ice chopper (Ace hardware sells them and salt). We rated the food B+ and the server Lori A.

Absolutely fabulous diner! Great food and service! Hubby had the Jamaica Chicken frittata and I had the breakfast burrito! We had leftovers for a second breakfast tomorrow!

It's almost impossible to search breakfast/brunch in Grand Rapids without stumbling across Wolfgang's. Curious about all the hype, I finally tried this place on my second visit to Grand Rapids, and they delivered! The place is a casual, quaint spot in Eastown. They are busy, and lines are expected on weekends. However, the service is speedy. As a solo diner, I get to sit on the counter, just near the kitchen. Food continuously flies out of the window, and every single thing looks incredible. Great portions. Visually very appealing. Everything looks so good. Whether you're a sweet or savory person or everything else in between, they got you. Their burritos were humongous. The pancakes were massive, and they looked so fluffy. The French toast looks incredible. It was so fun looking at all the different dishes they brought out. I initially thought of getting the Sriracha Crab Benedict but went for the Jamaican Jerk Chicken Frittata Omelette instead. Maybe I'll try the Benedict next time. The Jamaican Jerk Frittata may not be the prettiest than other dishes, but it was SCRUMPTIOUS! It's sauteed chicken and vegetables in Jamaican sauce with pineapple on top of frittata-style eggs and cheddar. It's fragrant, tangy, slightly sweet, with a hint of spice. It hits the spot for brunch. It's very filling, too! It came with a choice of toast (I went with wheat), and even the bread was so tasty. For the portion, the price was excellent. The service was top-notch. As I mentioned, they were very swift, but all the staff were also so amicable, thus creating great vibes. I will certainly come back if I can

I guess I don't understand the hype because we had a very disappointing brunch here. We arrived around 11:10, there was a 45 minute wait, we finally get seated and its another 40 minutes until our food is brought out. Our server was nice but did not tell us that they ran out of English muffins and brought the Benedict's out on toast. I had the sriracha crab Benedict which was awful. The poached eggs were over cooked, the crab had a canned tuna taste; and it was like a baby food texture. Desperately needs some kind of bread underneath that crab mess. I took one bite and unfortunately sent it back. I asked for a breakfast burrito which was just ok. Everyone at the table agreed that the food was just ok and was not worth the long waits. Definitely wont be returning here.

the food and vibes inside were very comforting. our waiter was great, too bad i can't remember names well. i got the walton benedict that comes with hash browns, and it hit the spot. there was lots of bacon loaded on the walton benedict; a lil overwhelming for me but a good thing for others ;)

Well, it's been 10 years since my last review, and Wolfgang's is still slinging 5-star breakfast. This is a great no-frills breakfast joint that is a staple in the neighborhood. Prices are a little higher now but still reasonable for portions. Today our server, Lori provided great service! She was prompt, warm, friendly- and added to our experience. Many vegetarian options, a few solid vegan choices! Pro-tip: get the "Cafe Wolfgang" to treat yourself! Half hazelnut coffee, half hot chocolate. Homemade whipped cream.

Kind and attentive service. Amazing food that never disappoints. We've tried breakfast places all over the country and nothing quite compares to Wolfgang's!

Excellent food and great service. Their Wolfgang coffe is amazing. Especially the one that is mixed with hot chocolate and hazelnut coffee is amazing

Good place for breakfast. I had the western omelette and it was solid. You get a lot of food with reasonable prices. I couldn't eat it all. Really good service too. Nice classic diner atmosphere. It always seems to be busy so you will likely have to wait unless you get there early.

You have really good waffle and bacon You're service is quick and the coloring sheets make it easy to wait for the food It feels super good to be at Wolfgang Restaurant it is the best place ever I love it it looks so good inside Wolfgang's restaurant

So I'm not really a breakfast girl but after reading all the reviews we had to give this a try. Be prepared for a longer wait, although they take your number and text you when your table is ready so you can go walk around while you wait. It's casual/diner style here, no fuss. Service staff was knowledgeable and very attentive. They have basic breakfast food but also a lot of new, interesting takes on breakfast. I had a skillet with mashed potatoes in it which was delicious. Definitely come here hungry and be prepared to be very full afterward.

This is a quaint little place near Blodgett hospital and definitely makes for a delightful breakfast after a busy shift. They serve your choice or regular coffee or hazelnut. I enjoyed the Vander Meer which is 3 over easy eggs served on hash browns, asparagus, Turkey sausage, and topped with hollandaise. My only issue is that the eggs were more over medium. Only one of them actually had a runny yolk. Otherwise it was actually pretty tasty. For quality gains 4 stars, freshness gains 5. Overall cleanliness gains 3 stars. There aren't any hand sanitizers around, not everyone (employees) wears a mask, and for this early in the morning the floor could use a broom. My waiter did a great job! His name is Josh and he definitely earned the 5 star rating in service. Ambiance is 5 stars. It has the feel they are aiming for. It's like a little slice of country in the middle of the city. I like it. This brings this location to 4 stars. Great job guys.

Wish I'd taken a picture of my food before I tore into it, lol! I had no idea there would be so much. I thought I was just ordering a basic size of eggs, meat, taters and toast... it came with 3 eggs, 3 large sausage patties and massive pile of potatoes with onion (optional) and a big plate of toast. Sooooo delicious and quick, I just felt bad that I couldn't eat that much nor could I take it with me. As the server said (who was particularly sweet and talkative, btw) Wolfgang's doesn't do anything small! I haven't been here in at least 20 years, so this was a nice treat to come back (every other time there has been a wait out the door) and reminisce. There's good reason this place is an iconic staple of the area. Thanks, Wolfgang's!

This is a awesome breakfast diner. It's menu includes omelettes breakfast burritos skillets pancakes waffles and so much more. They also have coffee drinks which my breakfast companions got. Hazelnut coffee and hot chocolate with whipped cream. It looked and smelled divine. I ordered the vegan Forsyth which ha potatoes mushrooms broccoli peppers onions and black beans with salsa and guacamole. My tastebuds were singing. It's a nice place to start your day and make it extra special

Wolfgang's is quite literally the best breakfast restaurant. Ever. There is always a wait, and it's so clear why that is- the coffee, the food, the service, and the portion sizes are all *chef's kiss. I dream about the Cafe Wolfgang (half hot chocolate, half hazelnut coffee, topped with whipped cream). The Aloha Omelette paired with English muffin toast & hash browns (always add onion!) is my idea of a perfect breakfast. Every server is so kind & friendly, and are always coming around to check to fill up waters & top off coffees, and even offer coffees to go. We have recently moved away from the GR area & the main reason we are considering returning is breakfast at Wolfgang's!

The ultimate spot to go on a Sunday!! We order it to go because it's always so busy. I get the Missad which is absolutely amazing. The portion sizes are good but have decreased over the years. My husbands loves their pancakes. The staff are always speedy and super friendly. Been going to this spot for over 20 years and it never disappoints.

Tried a fancy spinach Benedict for the first time. Specifically upgraded to the fancy because of the goat cheese.

Always our favorite breakfast/brunch spot when in the area. Food is amazing, friendly service, and prices are reasonable.

Yumm Yumm Yummy Yumm I liked my time here. Laura made me feel right at home and even made sure I had a hot cup of coffee to go. Great breakfast definitely a must. I will come back here as much as possible. Great skillet beautiful area of Grand Rapids m. Highly recommend.

First come first served , and I respect that !!! The host was very polite and professional. Our server , Kikki , was so wonderful, and my wife her tattoos. The Spinach Benedict was outstanding! Biscuits and gravy were to die for. I'd love to come back soon and I hope to get the opportunity too !!!

The food here is great! I definitely understand the long waits on the weekends! They have great size meals for a good price! The service is always very friendly. I love their bacon, it's always cooked to perfection! They have some delicious baked goods as well! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

So far so good the ambience is pretty awesome. The first thing you smell is great coffee and just the overall awesome diner feel. We shared the cafe Wolfgang, very flavorful a mix of coffee and hazelnut topped with whipped cream. Well everything looks amazing so I'm going to give these last two stars. See you soon. Oh yeah, and the service was the best part.

There's nothing bad about WOLFGANG's except maybe the time it takes to get a table. It's so darned good that the place is constantly busy! The food is great! There's a hearty meal coming when you order, the coffee is great (which is unusual given some of the swill that passes for coffee in the US) as the beans are locally-sourced. I regularly take a couple pounds home. My wife is a big fan of their take on Eggs Benedict; I'm fond of the skillets, and I've had their 'standard' breakfasts as well. Nothing disappoints! I can't recommend enough Wolfgang's and am sure the next time we're in GR we'll be dropping by!
