“ The food and service was great! Loved the ambiance of the restaurant as well! Our waiter was very awesome! The food was quick, and very tasty! We loved it! ”
“ This was amazing! Your mom's Raman salad! One of my favorite salads! Surprised no one else has posted this pic ”
“ We came in on Tuesday, 2/18/25 for a 6pm reservation. We've made the mistake of trying to eat in downtown Grand Rapids before a show and couldn't get a table anywhere. So tonight we planned ahead! The last time we were here was probably 8 or 9 years ago. The menu is smaller than we remembered and they don't have bacon popcorn anymore! But there are some solid options and some great vegan entrees too! We were sat immediately and our server Bailey was fantastic, she came right over with waters. She answered a couple whiskey questions and came back a shortly to take our order. We both ordered the Government Cheese burger and it was delicious! The burger is stuffed with American cheese and had American on it as well. The onion ring was a nice touch! Of course we had chronic fries and my lips are still burning, but oh man they tasty! We were seated next to the pinball machines and other arcade games and it got pretty loud a couple times. There were more kids than I expected, and that definitely increased the volume. It wasn't packed and maybe we didn't need reservations, but I'm glad we had them for peace of mind. ”
“ Long time patron, here! Love the ambiance! The food is always good and the service is always friendly. If you're looking for a fresh place to relax and unwind, I highly recommend! ”
“ Very eclectic and interactive establishment . The lighting was very dim and red. We were greeted when we arrived and seated right away. I liked that there were games to play everywhere. Games like pacman and pinball. Old school type of games. I really enjoy that. The menu offered a lot of gluten free and vegan options as well. The Full Montie nachos were super yummy spicy for being gluten free. I also enjoyed the chicken wings. I ordered the dry and dipped them in ranch. I was told the French fries were great here as well but didn't have them so I can not report. We enjoyed lemon drop shots and margaritas. Total bill without tip $103.88. ”
“ Love this throwback spot. Came here to meet a good friend of mine and another coworker for dinner. The first thing I saw was the old school video games! Nice. I had a run and coke and I think the bartender is my spirit animal because she made it just so that the drink turned a little bit darker. It jumped on me QUICK! The burger I had was on point and the fries were good. Yes! I'd come back here too. ”
“ Consistently solid vegetarian/vegan takeout! It has been a while since I've dined in at Stella's, but as a vegetarian who craves a buffalo wing every now and then, their Poor Man's Wings (bomb potato wedges, do not skip these), and "Chickpea Wings" (fka Blessed Black Wings) hit the spot every time. ”
“ An easy, four star choice for Stella's lounge. Can't miss on the stuffed cheeseburgers. Wide selection of brew and plenty of spirits to choose from . Quality friendly superb service on my visit. Ironic that among the retro pinball and video games from decades ago, there is a Bitcoin ATM which i felt was somewhat poetic in this fabulous downtown Grand Rapids establishment. Everything hit on all cylinders, with one exception. Skip the mac & cheese with until they ditch the Cheez-Its toppings. ”
“ After hearing so many good things from friends, I finally got to try Stella's! I was planning a nice dinner for my friend's birthday and unfortunately the places we chose got booked or didn't take reservations. I called Stella's and talked to Tony, the manager and he was kind enough to make an exception even though they don't take reservations. I almost cried when he said that because I had been calling a couple different places at this point and his kindness made my night. I'm glad I got his name because when I got there and mentioned my reservation, the staff were confused. They called Tony and confirmed and was able to clear a table for my group though. This place is popular and there's limited seating so I do recommend calling ahead to check the wait time. I heard they were famous for their burgers so I got the mission impossible Hawaii because regardless of what people say, I love my pineapple on things. The burger was amazing, but I found out the real star was the Mac and cheese. My friend had ordered their vegan Mac and cheese but since they were out of the shrimp, she subbed it for vegan chicken and I tried a bite of her food and fell in love. I ended up ordering their Mac and cheese to go. As someone who can't have dairy, this vegan Mac and cheese was better than the one with real cheese! Although I had a pretty great experience, my other friend did let me know that she wasn't a fan of The Mr. Fables burger. She brought leftovers home and when she had it the next day, she said it made her stomach hurt. I'm a little disappointed about that because they're famous for their burgers so I hope it isn't a frequent issue. ”
