Russ' Restaurant

Located at 3966 Plainfield Ave NE in the heart of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Russ' Restaurant has been a staple of homemade goodness since 1934. The bright, family‑friendly dining room features red‑wavy accents and vintage photos that echo its drive‑in origins in Holland, MI. Guests start the day with a hearty breakfast menu that includes the famous cloud‑bread burger, fluffy pancakes, and a Reuben sandwich piled high with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and Russian dressing. Lunch and dinner offer classic American comfort: hand‑breaded chicken tenders, creamy mac & cheese, fresh salads, and the signature Russ' burger served on a soft bun with crisp lettuce and tomato. Gluten‑free diners will appreciate the dedicated gluten‑free menu, highlighted by the cloud‑bread burger and a selection of salads without hidden wheat. The kids menu provides mini cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, and fruit cups, ensuring younger guests feel welcome. Open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 am to 9:00 pm, the restaurant closes on Sundays, giving staff a well‑earned rest. Prices are moderate, with most entrees ranging from $9 to $15, making it an affordable choice for families and groups.
