The food was great. The atmosphere was fantastic and the service was above standards.
Finally! We found our diner! We have been looking for a classic diner (non-chain) for some time. We used to frequent Tom's Diner in Buffalo, NY. Great food and staff there and we have been looking for another spot. Decided to come here based on the Yelp reviews. We were not misguided! Little, unassuming place with an eating bar at front and plenty of seating around the perimeter. Staff is busy and friendly. They've got ordering and serving down to a science. Our order took longer than we anticipated, but we were a bit impatient due to our hunger. Food did not disappoint, and the fresh hot coffee kept pouring--magical! Go here. You won't be disappointed!
Always a good breakfast at Shelly's. Get Shelly's Omelette or the Irish. And don't forget the homemade salsa!
Heard a lot of god things about Shelley's, so my wife and I tried it out this morning. It is hard to find and has a tight parking area, but we found a spot. We were told that we needed to sign up for a table, but we got one. I got the french toast and it was delicious. The syrup was cold, but still enjoyed it. My wife ordered oatmeal with frozen blueberries. She wanted the fruit cup, which is on the menu. On the positive side, we enjoyed our overall experience. The servers were active, clearing tables, dealing with new people, and serving the vibrant crowd. It has a nice Mexican twist, spicy, and a new favorite of ours for breakfast. The menu is huge, with variety and is much cheaper than most traditional breakfast places.
It's a small " mom and pop" diner, with excellent food. One of the owners was in the kitchen when we visited, and a daughter was helping in the front. Everything we had was excellent, well made and tasty. Prices were quite low for the amount of food. Only downside, the limited seating, largest table is 4, we had a group of 6 so we had to take 2 tables, but luckily there were 2 available across the aisle from each other. If we'd been 10 min later, we'd have had to split up more.
Very nice and Good food, the service was great as the waiter would keep coming for refills and would ask us if everything was good and if we needed something. Definitely recommend
I stopped here at 12:30 for lunch and I was seated right away. My server came right over and gave me a menu and took my drink order. When she came back with my drink, I ordered the Hot Beef Sandwich along with mashed potatoes. After a short time, my meal was delivered, and it looked really good. There was a beef sandwich that was totally covered in rich beef gravy. In the center of the plate there was a big pile of mashed potatoes. The beef was extremely tender and flavorful. The beef gravy was creamy and rich, it covered very stiff mashed potatoes. They were cream and the gravy was perfect on top. The overall experience was very good. I felt I received more than my money's worth on the meal and the service was good as well. This is a nice little diner with a great vibe to it. I will be back.
I've been going to Shelley's for a couple of years now for breakfast. I've always enjoyed whatever I've ordered there . I typically order just standard breakfast fare. But what I've always liked about them is that although they have the same traditional foods that you might order at any greasy spoon, they are not greasy. It's nice to have eggs and hash browns that aren't swimming in fat. My wife ordered the bagel sandwich. And the bagel was delicious. It was very moist inside. Almost like a New York style boiled bagel. But we asked the waitress and she said they are just regular bagels. We forgot to ask the brand name. But I would like to know. Don't let the appearance of the outside keep you from coming to this little place. It's actually very nice and clean inside. The only reason I didn't give this place a five rating? Is because it is virtually inaccessible to handicapped people. If you are in a wheelchair or a walker, you'll have no problems getting up to the doorway. But the doorway is not very wide and not many wheelchairs would be able to get through it. And even if you could, the aileways are narrow and there would be no place to pull a wheelchair up to a table without blocking off the entire aisle. And it would be virtually impossible to get a wheelchair into there bathroom. Is there tables fixed against the wall right next to the doorway that you wouldn't be able to swing around to get in. If the door is even wide enough to get a wheelchair in.
This is a great little "mom and pop" restaurant. The food was really good, service was friendly and the pricing is "just right". We showed up during a rush and the staff did a phenomenal job of getting us seated, taking our orders and bringing our food out. Even with all the chaos of a breakfast rush, our waitress made sure our beverages were refilled etc.
BEST OMELETTE I've ever had. My go to omelette place in Grand Rapids! I always get the Shelley's omelette, it has perfect ratio of avocado and cream cheese. Which I had never seen on an omelette before I stepped foot in here. Now I look for it anywhere else I go, I don't find it!! To be honest I've tried to recreate just the avocado and cream cheese ratio but it just cannot be done. You NEED the original to satisfy that craving. I now live farther away and sometimes make the drive up just for this place.
