coming back to GR for a visit over the 4th... wanted to meet some friends out for breakfast on the 4th. they are coming from holland...so hopefully somewhere on the west side of town...we will be coming from NE side...any good spots that will be open near downtown on the 4th for breakfast? anything in the JW marriott worth a visit...didn't want to go to wolfgangs...too far east. thanks for your help...this has to be the best resource for everything GR.

I'm going to argue that the best breakfast in town is in Eastown and East Hills (Brandywine, Wolfgangs, Cherie Inn, Marie Catribs, Schnitz, Gaia).

If that's too far for you, there's the new Omelette Shop on Michigan and YES, there is a Sundance Grill downtown on Pearl between Ionia and Ottawa.

The best breakfast shop in all of west michigan is Real Food Cafe in Alger Heights!!!!

Spent over $20.00 w/ tip for two people at Real Food, it was good, but that's a lot. I ate at Schnitz for Breakfast for the first time and it was AWESOME. Definitely going back sometime soon.

I have no idea if these places will be open on the 4th, but you could call and find out: Bobby J's and San Chez both do a good breakfast/brunch and are located right downtown.

My favorite spot for breakfast is Wolfgangs on Wealthy St. in east town

Yup, agree - The Brandywine (either locale) is our favorite place for breakfast. I used to hang out there every weekday drinking coffee and eating English muffin toast whilst studying at Aquinas College. Another of our favorites is San Chez - they do an outstanding breakfast, the price is surprisingly reasonable also.

Does anyone know if Arnie's does breakfasts? We go often for big-portion dinners, but have never checked in for a first meal.

No one's really addressing the is the place open on July 4?? issue. You might end up at Fred's with an armload of juice and cereal. (Pay at the cafe and eat it there.)

I understand this argument, IF you like the normal breakfast or omelet. However, if it's a filling, bone-sticking breakfast you're after, nothing beats a Missad or Abney at Wolfgangs, or Omni, Eggs Timothy, or Benedicts at Brandywine. I'm talking lots of eggs, toast, veggies, meat, hollandaise, etc piled in harmony, inches high on a big plate. That's the Eastown breakfast methodology!
