Meet the Originals
Who are the Lakeshore Restaurant Originals?
We are a group of local independent restaurant owners with a passionate desire to preserve our community's culinary "sense of being". We are the "heart & soul" of the Muskegon Lakeshore Restaurant Community. What we do in each and every one of our restaurants, is say welcome, enjoy our hospitality and enjoy what helps make West Michigan special to us. We live and breathe our businesses. We love the art of presentation and the look of joy when our plates are served. We strive for perfection and are disappointed if we don't achieve it. Our restaurants vary from pizza parlors to sandwich shops to upscale casual to white table cloth.
When you dine at one of our Restaurant "Originals", you experience the unique flavor of our community, and a sense that you have been somewhere special, somewhere, chances are, that the owner greeted and seated you, made you feel very welcome, appreciated and well cared for.
We are an integral part of your community. We are your neighbors and friends. We donate our time, our staff, our food, our facilities to help local fund raising projects. We work hard to keep our local economy strong and strive to make our community a great place to live, love, eat, visit and enjoy.
We urge you to support your local restaurants here and across the country and thank you for your patronage and your loyalty.
Help us help you and our Lakeshore community thrive. When you dine out, think globally but eat locally.
