New Beginnings Restaurant — Restaurant in Kentwood

8/18-update: Still Great- took family to here, and they were blown away. Diane was our awesome waitress, and she was the definition of sunshine. The food was on point for all 4 of us. The kids portions are sill decent. I got 2 different ones and mixed their items, but both of my kids came out full. Just a Great Place!!.....end%

It's worth it!!! Great diner close to the G.R. airport. First timer. I went in early morning after dropping off my mom, was pleasantly surprised! 1 waitress and 2 cooks...but they BUST THEIR BUTTS! This little G-Ma was taking orders, refilling coffee cups, delivering food, cashing out, and was still r for me to make up my mind on what i wanted then for the food to get to me, and they were GENEROUS and DELICIOUS! I had the country fried steak- crispy and swimming in sausage gravy. The home fries were just huge chunks of potatoes that you can get with grilled onions added for free, and eggs. Them boys know how to cook and they pile it high! Just check out my picture and tell me that don't make you hungry! If you leave and you are not satisfied, that's...

Let me start off with saying this has nothing to do with the wait staff they are amazing it is 100% ownership/management they don't seem to car what the customer has to say.

A group of us have made a weekly routine of coming here but since the new manager (owner son) took over the food portions are much smaller and the prices have increased, they removed a lot of items from the menu in which we ordered often (scrambles & paninis) only offers eggs benedict on the weekend (not Fridays). The food is just okay the reason we visited this location is the wait staff and location unfortunately we are going to look for another place locally (Red Diuranium, 76th street truck stop etc which in my opinion has better verity and value for the price.

Again sorry to the wait staff as they are dedicated which is hard to find in this day and age. The place use to be packed on a Friday morning now maybe 3 tables and the people paying the price is the employees....

Update 2: Came today and sat for 20 minutes waiting to be acknowledged. We finally got up, asked a waitress that was actually doing something if she would serve us. We left her a nice tip; but the food and service at this location is awful. We won't be coming back to this New Beginnings, which we have come to for years.

Update. My wife and I came here a few weeks ago with friends, and we were barely done with breakfast when the waitress told us that we had to leave because, according to management, they needed the tables. There were at least 12 empty tables near us. It was disappointing.

Good, solid go-to for breakfasts and lunches. The food is pretty standard - egg plates, sandwiches and so forth - which is what you're looking for in a place like this. There's something for everyone and prices are reasonable. There is lots of good old fashioned american comfort food. The staff is friendly and on the ball, and your coffee mug will...
