Outdoor Dining in Grand Rapids & West MI
Dinner at one of West Michigan’s restaurants with outdoor seating is the perfect thing to do in summer after a long day chasing the sun.
From Grand Rapids to the Lakeshore, outdoor dining is a treat on a gorgeous Michigan summer night.
Choose from urban backdrop of downtown Grand Rapids, or find something on the lake.
Some outdoor restaurants are tucked in behind the main dining area for a more private feel. Others sit you right out front where you can be part of the action.
Whatever your date night personality is, you can find a picturesque outdoor restaurant this summer.

Thank you for this. My Husband and I actually just had a conversation trying to figure out where we could eat outside with a two year old. Thank you!
