• Fish tacos on the late night menu are sick! Blackened tilapia. Avocado on the side. Lava sauce, on the side, is lethal.

• Their crack fries has perfect crispy texture. But it too salty for me that I could not eat up all. Their local beer selection is awesome. This place is usually too crowded and busy.

• The “crack fries” at this Grand Rapids institution were so popular that they’re now franchised all over the Midwest. So what’s the secret? Beer batter and an assertive, peppery seasoning.

• Try the crack fries; they're sweet, salty, peppery and fried to perfection. The only downside is that it's not just a name - you'll be back to have them again shortly. Guarantee.
