Dirty Plate Bistro - Grand Rapids (MI)

5 /5 Maria Zimmer: Flavorful addition to town!! Was so excited to see a new restaurant opening on Fulton. Their menu rotates weekly, with lunch offerings also offered in evening. Excited to come back for more. Hoping there’s some chicken/turkey lunch options getting added in the future to round out the menu selections :) Had the gumbo and it was wonderful.

5 /5 Spencer Moore: Wife and I went here for dinner and I was pleasantly surprised given they just opened a week ago. We split the crab cakes which were great and were topped with some of the best remoulade I’ve had. I had the stuffed quail which was served on a bed of cheesy grits with a sweeter sauce and broccoli. You can tell care went into the dish as the flavors melded perfectly. My wife got the kimchi grilled cheese, normally a lunch item, which had the perfect ratio of cheese, kimchi, and bread. Lastly, our server was very nice and attentive (I wish I remembered her name). REALLY rooting for this place and I’m excited to see what’s next on their rotating menu.

5 /5 Mira Smith: My partner and I stopped here for an early dinner. The food was incredibly flavorful and was a huge portion! I had the Verdant and Embers dish, which was a tikka masala-esque chicken and waffles and it was phenomenal. My partner’s reuben was also very good. Ben was super engaging and we had a great time - I’m excited to see more from this chef in the future and to see what comes up on the seasonal menus!

5 /5 Ashley: The food was excellent! Well seasoned, tender, full of flavor! I forgot to take a photo, but the portions were great, too! Chef Benjamin was very kind and working his tail off. You can tell her truly cares about the meals he’s creating! We’ll definitely be back to see what other creations he has to offer!

5 /5 Jim Corrado: A tiny place that serves amazing food. As mentioned, menu rotates regularly. This is the schnitzel with spaetzel, which was amazing, as were my tastes of the sweet potato gnocchi and beef bourguignon. Will be back.
