Welcome to West Michigan Critic, your one stop source for food reviews from all types of restaurants throughout West Michigan!

If you're looking for excellent food and service without surprises, then West Michigan Critic is for you. You can select from our list of top food establishments, search by area or by the name of your favorite restaurant.

You might think being a critic is easy work, but it's not. There is more to simply reviewing a service or product, it requires an understanding of how the system works and a fair and impartial viewpoint, most of all, patience and understanding.

Restaurant Review


When I visit a restaurant, be it a trendy high priced spread or a mom-and-pop ethnic restaurant, all I want is my money's worth. I expect the food not only to be good, but properly prepared with prices in line with the decor. Efficient and congenial staff that has an end goal of customer loyalty is a must.

I understand all too well that finding good help is not easy, but a successful business owner knows how to develop staff and most important, how to keep their best staff on board.

Quality Restaurant Facts


One trend I have found throughout my career is that restaurants operated by the owner or where the owner frequently visits, are likely to do better than a restaurant run by a manager only. No one is going to take care of their business like that of the owner.

When I visit your restaurant, I do it quietly and only when I'm about to leave, do I drop my card announcing that I have been critiquing the service. If you have our card, then it is only a matter of time before your review appears.

See you soon!
