The Red Bird Bistro & Grill

"When you go to a new town, the place to eat is where everyone else is already going. Well, Red Bird certainly fit that bill. The food was wholesome and delicious. Our food was running long because of a big group ahead of us. So they gave us chips and queso as a complementary appetizer. Everyone was very nice. The open nature of the restaurant makes it a bit noisy. But the food and kindness made up for it."

"We can’t say enough about how we enjoyed working with Kristen the Event Coordinator at the Red Bird Bistro and Grill. She was just great to work with and shared the excitement of planning our wedding dinner/reception! Alicia was our waitress and we also could tell how much she enjoyed serving our party. It is such a beautiful place & very reasonable to rent!!!! Would highly recommend it and the food was great!!!!"

"Downtown Cedar Springs. Inside it's a rustic/modern atmosphere. On one side they have an open kitchen and another they have the bar area. The place has a warm happy feeling to it. I ordered the Cowboy Burger ($17), which has a cajun spiced burger patty, pepper-jack cheese, house made bbq sauce, haystack onions, on a toasted bun. The burger looked a little small, especially the patty, however I was full at the end so maybe not. The burger was perfectly cooked. The cajun spice added a nice edge to the taste of the burger. Everything worked well together to make a very good burger. It's not going to crack my top 10, but I would happily get it again. The fries I got with it were top notch. They had a unique flavor to them that made the one of the most enjoyable fries I've had in awhile. I was going to get a House Salad ($6) to go with my burger and fries, however they don't have French Dressing. What a crock! Anyways since they didn't have the only flavor of dressing I like on a salad I passed on that. The Person I was with ordered the Classic Burger ($15),  which has lettuce, tomato, and roasted garlic mayo on a toasted bun. She really liked her burger and commented on how good the fries were. The service was good. They checked on us and got the items we requested. Overall a 4 star review. Everything was very good it just wasn't quite 5 stars good. Plus not having french dressing and not having your entrees available until after 4pm all detracted a little bit. Would I return? Yes, but I'm not sure I'd make the trip from G.R. to Cedar Springs just to eat there again. If your in the area then yes I recommend stopping and eating."

"Great dinner. Thanks so much for helping my friend and our table on Red Flannel day. Your kindness toward our sick friend was Commendable. Here is Amy Pershbacher Mayor of MT PLEASANT and Graduate of CEDAR SPRINGS!!"

"Tried their happy hour and won’t be back. The two pork carnitas were tiny $7 and not much flavor and the beef sliders $8 , the meat was tough and scarce. $1 extra for a very small portion of sour cream. We enjoyed a happy hour priced wine - short pour $5. For 3 people total bill was $40"
