East Grand Rapids, Michigan
Set along the shores of Reeds Lake in the heart of East Grand Rapids, Rose's On Reeds Lake has been one of West Michigan's most beloved dining destinations for generations. Rich in history, surrounded by natural beauty, and woven into the fabric of the community, Rose's offers an experience that feels both timeless and distinctly local. The Gilmore family began their stewardship of the legendary Rose's On Reeds Lake in 1992, continuing the legacy of a property that holds a unique place in Michigan history. Rose's is the last remaining building from the Ramona Park era—arguably the most colorful chapter in the history of East Grand Rapids (click here to learn more about the history of Rose's). Through decades of change, Rose's has remained a place where milestones are celebrated, traditions are honored, and memories are made along the water's edge. Our menu reflects the same enduring spirit. Mediterranean, Italian, and American influences come together in a collection of dishes designed to be shared, savored, and enjoyed lakeside. Longtime guests still return for iconic favorites like Rose's Chicken Salad, Potato Crusted Walleye, and Rose's famous caramel corn, while seasonal features and chef-driven specialties ensure there's always something new to discover. Few dining experiences in West Michigan rival an afternoon or evening overlooking Reeds Lake. From the patio and four-season deck, guests enjoy panoramic views of Waterfront Park, the Grand Rapids Yacht Club, and Rose's private marina. Whether you're gathering for brunch, lunch, dinner, cocktails, or a special celebration, the setting offers a rare combination of energy, elegance, and tranquility. For many, Rose's is more than a restaurant—it's a tradition. A place where generations return, where old memories are revisited and new ones are created, and where the beauty of Reeds Lake provides the backdrop for life's most meaningful moments. Great food. Exceptional views. Enduring memories.
