Rose's on Reeds Lake Reviews

Excellent Reuben. I'm not sure but I think the 1000 island was kitchen made. The corn beef was so good. Not fatty at all.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Took out of town guests who loved it too.

Should be open for Christmas Day for out of town guests!!!

This place is the epitome of east town Grand Rapids with satisfying Gilmore Collection culinary marvels and a wonderful view of Reed's Lake. Go when it's warm and sit out on the dock eating your delicious food while watching boats go by.

Excellent service, great ambience and outstanding food!

Love Rose's, great view, good service, and superb menu.

We've had other entrees also that are just as delicious. A better than average joint by the lake. We were there for lunch in February, and the place was bright, warm, and cozy. Food was above average. Great fish and chips. Burgers great (although one a bit dry). Decent selection of on tap beers. Would go again.

Delicious food, cozy warm atmosphere, friendly servers and staff, lovely view.

Great meeting place
It's right on the lake. We asked to be seated out side, next to the water. It was lovely. There were approximately 15 small sailboats out on the lake that I think we're rented and those people were having a great time as we're the people in Rose's both inside and out. It was a mix of family, some young, some older people but very cozy. The wait staff is young, but very professional.
I ordered the parmesan crusted chicken and my cousin ordered the pork dish. We shared each other's dish and I must say, EVERYTHING was delicious. My cousin ordered a draft beer and I had ice tea. The sun was going down and a breeze had started to really cool things down, so we went inside to have our dessert. It was a brownie mix with chocolate sauce and whipped cream. We split the brownie, it was big enough for two. The bill came to about $47 dollars, which wasn't bad at all.
I would gladly recommend that place to anyone that's looking for good food, ambience, and reasonable prices!

Rose's is a terrific restaurant. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I always enjoy my meals here.

Revisited this old standby for dinner Saturday night after a long hiatus and had great service (Mary) food, and drinks.

Out server, Katie, was top notch! I thought the fish & chips had too much breading.

Really nice place on the lake. Service was great and the walleye was great
Can't go wrong with a walk in the park either before or after dinner

Rose's is amazing! It's part of the Gilmore collection and we have always had good experiences in their various spaces. The fact that this restaurant is on Reed's Lake with a beautiful view year around is just icing on the cake...and if you've had their desserts you know what I mean :) Enjoy! We always do!

The squash soup is back and it was amazing! Loved sitting in front of the fireplace and looking out on to the lake

Very friendly and food was excellent. Great atmosphere.

One of my favorite places~ I always have a hard time making up my mind because their menu has a lot of things I like. Save room for caramel corn after dinner

Awesome place. My wife likes the salmon and I always get the parm crusted chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus.

I'd like to say every trip there was a pleasant one, but my most recent dining experience was a disappointment. Our waitress never told us her name or what the specials were. Instead she asked what she could get us in a very impersonal fashion. Once we had our food she never came to check on us until she came to see if we were ready for our bill. we were hoping to stay for another glass of wine and maybe desert, but since she never asked/offered we paid and left. Seems like she wanted our table back more than our business. I understand it was friday night and busy but we did not expect to feel so rushed. It was really a let down considering I've had many other pleasant experiences there in the past.

Food was good, portions seemed small, and the whole place kind of felt pretentious.

Food was great! Location and environment was wonderful! Our service with Mary - fantastic!!!

Great location. Friendly staff. Good food at reasonable prices.

GOOD FOOD! Pleasant environment.
We are always glad we went to Rose's

Lovely restaurant by the lake, you have to be patient as you wait to enter (at dinner time) but you can go to the lake and wait.
Celebrate my birthday there and ate excellent. They have a children's menu and for all the portions they were vast.
Excellent waitresses.

Great place for brunch! Overlooking the lake! its a unique place to go and the food is amazing!

DO NOT COME HERE
Most uncomfortable dining experience I have ever had!
Food is over priced for the quality
The bartender couldn't even make a cosmo right
The owner of the restaurant (Richard) came
Stumbling up to my table wreaking of liquor and spilling his straight makers mark on himself and our table. He pulls up a chair and starts eating our chips. He started to flirt with me agressivly even after I show him I am married. He starts to beg me and my friend to come with him and his friend Gary(also major douche) on his boat to do cocaine.
Of course we decline in fear of being raped and just didn't want to go anywhere with a drunk who is old enough To be my father.
Very politely we say no Thanku.
We leave the restaurant to go out to a club.
-we see these men following us
- I thought we lost them... but when we leave the club the security asked me if this is my car. I say yes and he proceeds to explain to me that 2 gentlemen (who match the description of Richard and Gary) were letting the air out of my tires and then sped off when security approached them.
***The owner of this restaurant is a drunk, a creep, and possibly mentally unstable***

We took our daughter here today to celebrate her college graduation. They had a table immediately ready for our party! The staff was very upbeat, polite and efficient. This was our first time at Rose's and we couldn't be happier with our experience!!! We WILL definitely be back!!

A GR favorite. Never had a bad meal here. The waits to get in can be ridiculous sometimes though.

Long wait most days but you can't beat the atmosphere

Still a great place for delicious food and good service. Best Bloody Mary in town.

Perfect place for a work lunch party. We had a group of about 8 and we had made reservations so they seated us quickly and we started off with their famous homemade chips. I ordered a sandwich that was both filling and delicious. Everyone at the table was pleased with their entrees. The service was great and we will certainly return. The only caveat is that parking can be difficult.

Great food and friendly staff. The views of Reed's lake make this a great place to meet friends for a meal.

Always great food, great Reed's lake views to watch.

Had such great service. Be prepared for a wait however.

I've never had good food here, I don't know what all the fuss is about.

Great food, ambiance, and environment. Friendly and professional wait staff. I highly recommend the outside seating on warmer nights.

The location is wonderful - it's right on Reeds Lake in East Grand Rapids. On a pretty summer day you cannot get much better views and vibes within the city limits. They do not take reservations so you can put your name in and then walk around John Collins Park just next door as you wait.

Always has been a 5 star restaurant and always will be.

Came on my 21st birthday around dust. The moon rose with the light hitting against the water beautifully. Very romantic scenery with quality food.

Lovely location and good food! Cranberry turkey sanwich is good but needs a little more"cranberry" to make it great!! Will be back for more soon!!

Best restaurant in Michigan. Great atmosphere; the smells, the lake, the staff. Great job!

I took my sister and mother-in-law here for lunch and we all thought that the food, service and view were excellent. The Tomato Bruschetta and Root Chips were excellent choices for appetizers. Both dips that came out with the Root Chips were very tasty. If you order this, get two servings for each dip. The Build Your Own Pizza was good but expensive. My sister liked the Vegan Burger. The Blackened Mahi Tacos were okay - nothing special. I would recommend getting a table outside so you can view the water. Really adds a nice touch.

Great place! Best Reuben ever! And Pilar gave us fantastic service! I highly recommend

Great place for couples and kids alike. Wonderfully cozy in the Winter and great outdoor space on a small lake in the Summer. We will keep coming back!

Wonderful food and service! Beautiful view of the lake while eating.

The food was great and service second to none. It was great be able to sing to the head chef on his birthday.

Food was incredible , service was even better. HUGE shoutout to our sever, Shawn, for providing an amazing experience. Truthfully awesome experience.

Yesterday my husband and myself decided to enjoy an evening out and relax on the patio at Roses. This was our first time to dine here. When we arrived the restaurant indoors was fairly empty, however the patio was well occupied.
After bringing us water and introducing herself, our waitress said she would give us a few minutes. I quickly said we would order drinks now.
When she returned with our drinks she took our food order. My husband ordered the fish and chips, I ordered the Mahi Tacos.
We waited a considerable amount of time for our food(at least 30 minutes). While waiting, my husband finished his beer and I finished my wine. Our waitress took our glasses and never asked if we wanted a refill.
My tacos were dry and falling apart. The waitress never came back to ask how our meal was, just took our plates. Never asked if we would like desert, just if we needed anything as she brought our check.
On the upside-My husband quite enjoyed his fish and chips. Very thankful for that.
The warmest moment we had was after dinner when a gentleman at the kitchen said thank you and have a good night.

"Great place to bring both small and big groups for a very reasonable price."

It was our first time visiting with my kids, truly enjoyed it. Food was absolutely delicious, staff was very nice and attentive. My son ended up changing his mind on his order and waiter didn't hesitate to make the change. Because of the restrictions at the moment their is a wait to be seated. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Will be coming back for another visit.

Great food, amazing view. Perfect date night. Thank you!

One of our favorite places in Grand Rapids nestled in the heart of reeds lake park area.

The scenery is great when you sit in the porch and the staff is very kind. Food is good but quite expensive

Great ambiance, unique menu, but something for Everyone, lunch prices for the amount of food fare.

Highly recommended, great view, cool place, great staff. You might have to walk a little ways though, the lot is pretty small.

Great food, but good luck getting them to answer the phone. They say they offer take out but don't bother trying to call them.

We had a large group (17 people) with a reservation and Rose's had everything set and ready to go. Our waitress was awesome, as were the additional helpers who stopped by to assist with filling of the glasses, etc.

Food was great, we all enjoyed the root chips especially with the goat cheese dip. You can't beat the view from the back room on the lake, even though it was cold and snowing outside, the back room was comfortably toasty.

WIth a group this size we were able to order a wide arrange of choices from the menu. Everyone was sharing and pleased with their choices. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Good food and menu some new and adventuresome thanks to Gilmore management. Views of Reeds Lake. 3 dining rooms: indoors, enclosed patio, and sunny deck. An E G R staple for a hundred years, now part of Gilmore group which means the prices are not "beach house burger joint" any more.

This is a great restaurant! There was a wait on a Saturday evening but it was worth it! The service was great and so was the food. We tried the root chips and they were delicious! For my main course I had the parmesan crusted chicken which was awesome! There is also a great view!

Had a long, leisurely lunch. Not as busy as it normally would be, probably due to the weather. The food and service was very good.

Get the fish and chips! The fish is battered in tempura batter and the fries were definitely gourmet overall was some of the best fish and chips I've ever eaten. It definitely didn't hurt either that we were sitting looking at the beautiful Reed Lake while eating fresh fish. Can't wait for my next visit!

Really, 3 reviews, exactly the same, word for word. Something's fishy..... Maybe it's a great place, but if you're writing your own reviews there's gotta be something they're making up for.

Great atmosphere! Love sitting outside by the lake. The food is delicious.

Pricey, skimpy lunch portions are the norm due to great ambiance and lake views.

One of my favorite spots to ever be. A wonderful spot to have lunch, dinner or once in awhile the best Bloody Mary I ever had. Beautiful setting on Reeds Lake, exceptional service and great food.

Enjoyable warm atmosphere, tastey
menue, and friendly staff.
