New Restaurant to open in former Perkins Building

New Restaurant to open in former Perkins Building

Today while out and about on my lunch hour, I drove past the closed Perkins restaurant on Alpine and noticed a man painting the exterior of the building.

I decided to stop and talk to this man and maybe find out what is happening with the building. I thought the obvious thing would be that maybe an Oriental or Mexican Restaurant would be taking up residence because of the bright gold color of the paint, one of the many bright colors they seem to use in business.

My guess was right. The man I spoke to said a new Mexican Restaurant, called Cinco de Mayo, should be opening within a month or so from now. Keep an eye out for this new restaurant.

Gluten Free Menu at Walker Roadhouse

In doing a little research today, I discovered that the Walker Roadhouse Restaurant carries a great menu of Gluten Free items on their menu.

This is great news for people with eating problems and it seems there is more and more of them all the time. If this is something that you would consider trying, take a ride to the Walker Roadhouse located at 3252 Remembrance Rd. NW in Grand Rapids, MI.  Phone: 616-791-9922 You can also Google them for more information.

Hours: Mon-Fri  11-11; Sat 4-11; Closed Sundays
