Restaurant Equipment and Supply for Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood and Muskegon
Grand Rapids runs on beer, wet burritos and markets. The Beltline Bar, open since 1953, claims to have invented the wet burrito, Grand Rapids won the Beer City USA poll in 2013, and the Fulton Street Farmers Market has sold local produce since 1922.
South of downtown, Kentwood and Wyoming cook for an international crowd, from Vietnamese kitchens on Division Avenue and Burmese on 28th Street to Wyoming's new Godwin Mercado. Out on the lakeshore, Muskegon fills Hackley Park every June for the Taste of Muskegon.
Since 2015, The Restaurant Warehouse has shipped to thousands of commercial kitchens in every state. West Michigan orders ship from our Chicago warehouse, so Grand Rapids-area restaurants get the same low prices and freight delivery right to Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood, and Muskegon. The most common orders here are reach-in refrigerators, draft beer coolers, back bar coolers, griddles, fryers, and food truck equipment.
The Beltline Bar Wet Burrito and Yesterdog
George Wilkerson opened the Beltline Bar on 28th Street in 1953 as just a bar. The Rutkowski family took it over around 1958 and added Tex-Mex, and the story goes that a shipment of oversized tortillas arrived by mistake and the wet burrito was born. The Beltline Bar claims to have invented the dish, though a local historian notes that early printed uses also turn up in California. The bar served its 6 millionth wet burrito in 2025, and Tasting Table has ranked it Michigan's No. 1 burrito. In Eastown, Bill Lewis founded Yesterdog in 1976, and its Ultradog and Cheesedog are still the orders to know. Yesterdog marked 50 years with a celebration in July 2026.
A wet burrito line runs on griddles, sandwich prep tables for fillings, and ranges and ovens for sauce and melted cheese. Hot dog counters add work tables, undercounter refrigerators, and reach-in refrigerators for dogs and toppings.
Beer City USA and Founders Brewing
Grand Rapids tied Asheville, N.C. in the 2012 Beer City USA online poll and won it outright in 2013 with 27,005 votes, before the poll was retired. The city kept winning reader polls after that: USA Today readers voted it Best Beer Town in 2014, Best Beer Scene in 2017 and 2018, and Best Beer City every year from 2021 through 2025. Experience Grand Rapids counts nearly 40 breweries in the greater Grand Rapids area. Founders Brewing Co., started by Mike Stevens and Dave Engbers in 1997, moved to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue SW in 2006 and is known for KBS and All Day IPA.
Taprooms and brewpubs need draft beer coolers, back bar coolers, and glass door merchandisers for cans to go. Pub kitchens pair them with fryers, charbroilers, and pizza prep tables.
Fulton Street, the Downtown Market and Christkindl Markt
The Fulton Street Farmers Market opened on Fulton Street East in 1922. A $3 million renovation added a year-round vendor building in May 2013, and the market hosts about 200 vendors a year. The Grand Rapids Downtown Market opened beside US-131 in September 2013, with an indoor market hall, a 52-stall outdoor shed, commercial incubator kitchens, a teaching kitchen and a greenhouse. Each holiday season, from mid-November to Christmas Eve, the Christkindl Markt sets up at the Downtown Market with more than 60 food and gift vendors selling raclette, schnitzel and porchetta. It drew about 250,000 visitors over six weeks in 2024.
Market vendors and incubator-kitchen startups order reach-in refrigerators and freezers to hold produce, countertop display cases for baked goods, and work tables. Holiday market stands add undercounter refrigerators and griddles sized for a tight booth.
Restaurant Supply Store in Grand Rapids
We ship straight to your Grand Rapids restaurant. Most West Michigan orders arrive in 1 to 3 business days from our Chicago warehouse, with free freight and free lift gate service. West Michigan calls usually come from taprooms adding draft lines, Tex-Mex and diner kitchens replacing a griddle or reach-in that quit mid-shift, and market vendors and food trucks getting ready for summer. Tell us what you cook and how much space you have, and we will help you size the line. Will-call pickup in Chicago is available for verified restaurant businesses, but most kitchens skip the trip and let us ship it.
