My wife and I were up in Grand Rapids, MI due to a clinic our daughter was participating in at the Grand Rapids Fencing Academy. Our daughter started at 10am, so we dropped her off and headed quickly to a movie, which started at 10:20am. After the movie, we could not decide on where we wanted to go for lunch, but knew that we needed to find somewhere that had gluten free options, since my wife suffers from celiac disease.
Since it participated in the Rapid Rewards Dining program, we decided upon Brann's Steakhouse and Grille on Leonard Street in Grand Rapids. It was a great choice, since it was close to the fencing club and also had a gluten free menu, which was actually pretty big.
After a few minutes, we decided upon what we wanted to eat. Unfortunately, our waitress took some time to get back to us. When she did finally get to us, we ordered 2 pounds of the bbq ribs with buttered steamed broccoli and the vinegar and oil coleslaw to split. We also added a shrimp skewer to it, so that we would definitely have enough to eat. To drink my wife ordered a water and I ordered a diet Mountain Dew - it's always nice, when a restaurant has a different diet choice than just cola. Our waitress arrived with our drinks and with a couple of yeast rolls, which includes their cinnamon butter, which is awesome.
When the huge mound of ribs, sides and shrimp skewer arrived, we knew that we would have enough to eat. The ribs were falling off the bone and tasted great. The bbq sauce was a perfect blend of tangy and sweet. Plus, there was enough bbq sauce. Sometimes restaurants really skimp on the bbq sauce - not Brann's! The shrimp skewer was decent and the sides were pretty good.
The value that received for what we ordered was great. We were able to get out of Brann's for the two of us for less than $25 and we were stuffed. Add to it that they participate in the Rapid Rewards Dining program, we will definitely be back.
