One restaurant opens. One closes. And one gets rave reviews on a national level. Just another week around West Michigan! Sad news out of Walker. The Fire Mountain buffet closed last weekend. Owned by the Ryan's Steakhouse chain, increased competition from Golden Corral and other local buffets had to lead to the Fire Mountain decline.
When I saw the sign that downtown Grand Rapids was getting a KILWINS in the old Mckay tower, I was beyond excited! This has special meaning for me, as grew up about 6 blocks from the headquarters of Kilwins in Petoskey!
