We have gathered a list of the Top Best Buy Caledonia Michigan

Houses to buy based on price per square foot. Price per square foot is a

great leveler. If two similar homes are listed at similar prices, their price

per square foot should be similar. The price should reflect the interior finish

of the home.

For example, if the home has crystal chandeliers, marble tile,

& a new kitchen, this would be more per square foot than a home that

still has the 1970’s decor and/or is in a derelict or tired condition.

Please note that this list can change daily as some homes

sell, prices are adjusted and other homes come on the market.

Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The Monterey Grille Restaurant & Lounge in Caledonia Michigan is easy to miss

if you don't know where to look. It is situated in a strip mall at 9175 Cherry

Valley Road. But don't let that stop you from going there. All the locals will be

there, it is one of the best restaurants in the Caledonia area. We always make

it a point to stop for lunch if we find ourselves in Caledonia on business.

The Monterey Grille Restaurant & Lounge is a full service restaurant and lounge, owned & operated

by Bruce & Kerri Higgins. The main dining room is bright with natural light, open with booths and

table seating. They have a large private dining room with a fireplace for large parties or over flow

for large crowds.

The six page menu is extensive, with 2 pages of breakfast items. Their breakfasts have to be one

of the best items and best values in the Grand Rapids area and they serve them until 2:30 pm every

day, and all day on Sundays. A large appetizer selection, salads, sandwiches, grilled pizza, and

pasta dishes list enough variety to please anyone. Their burgers are all half pounders, so you don't

go away hungry. Entrees include Monterey Ribs, Seafood, and other homestyle favorites.

For example, the Surf & Turf, an 8 oz steak served with jumbo stuffed shrimp is $16.95, with 2 side

dishes. The wait staff is always friendly and helpful. If you are in the neighborhood, you can't go

wrong by stopping here for a full dinner or a quick bite.

Don't overlook the Bar & Lounge Area in the Back of the restaurant. If you want to meet some

friends for a few drinks and some lively conversation about the local sports teams, this is the place to go.
