Papa Bears - Muskegon

Dined in with my boyfriend and witnessed the cook, who owns the place (yikes) being so rude to the waitresses more than one time. As well as being vile to the customer placing a to go order for his wife. She literally stated "make my life a lot easier if you 'd order it right "I felt so bad for the people working for her. It was never this type of atmosphere when I came here with my dad when I younger.

This place checks all of the right boxes. Great food, big portions, eclectic setting, great staff. It isn’t a sterile cookie cutter chain, it’s built inside an older house. They don’t make places like this anymore. It’s got the history and vibe that can only come from effort love. It’s a beautiful time machine that makes one wish their parents were still around because they would cherish it, and makes them take their kids to because it’s what dining out used to be.

Been going back for Grizzlies for years. Don't baulk at the price, it will feed several people...several times. Delish!

My coffee was constantly refilled, and I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast, which consisted of a mini stuffed hash brown that was quite generous in size—definitely more than I could finish in one sitting, though I certainly tried! The dish featured a large, griddled slab of shredded potatoes filled with cheese, sour cream, and my choice of toppings. I opted for peppers, onion, and mushrooms. It was served piping hot and fresh, providing great value for the amount of food. Plus, who could go wrong with gourmet cheesy potatoes? I will definitely return for breakfast next time I'm in the Muskegon area. As for vegetarian options, their signature stuffed hash brown can be customized with a variety of meatless fillings.

The stuffed hash brown will blow you away when it arrives at your table. The staff is incredibly friendly, and I enjoy having conversations with them. They also usually offer freshly baked breads and muffins, which is a nice touch.
