Not sure what the problem was with the person in April 2008. We have gone to R G for Many years followed it from downtown to it current Kalamazoo & 60th street location. Awesome wait staff and great breakfasts. The chef has a good imagination for daily specials.

Not sure why a person would enter a rating so many times....I think we understood you didn't have a positive experience. Perhaps it might be related to your own negative attitude.....

We are regulars at the Byron Center restaurant. We have never had a bad meal...and the staff is always pleasant and the cooks work their a$$es off. Easily the best breakfast spot in GR. We wish they would expand!!!!

Thanks for all you do!

Sadly, as of July 8th, this location has closed. They have opened two other locations at Kalamazoo and M-6 and Byron Center and M-6 and left the early morning downtown and neighborhood patrons lost with growling stomachs.

This is a top-notch breakfast joint with very good service. People were lined up to get tables which is always a good sign but I was seated right away at the counter.

Coffee was good if not spectacular and refilled frequently. The special was Eggs Benedict and it was excellent, as were the fried potatoes with onions. A Benedict that good should be on the menu full time.

The restaurant was clean & serviceable but not otherwise noteworthy; they're moving to a new location soon. The staff was friendly and cheerful, bantering amongst themselves without dawdling.

Friendly service & impeccable food makes the Red Geranium a can't-miss choice for breakfast in GR.

The portions, service and atmosphere are perfect! Its great whether you're in the moood to sit and quietly read a newspaper or strike up a conversation with the staff & fellow diners. In the summertime, you can receive service outside on the patio.

Award Nomination: Best Bargin Breakfast
