Best Takeout Restaurants in Eastown, Grand Rapids

Eastown sits just east of downtown Grand Rapids along Wealthy Street, a walkable corridor of independent businesses where the dining scene skews eclectic, locally owned, and unpretentious. The neighborhood draws a mix of longtime residents, students, and workers who treat takeout less as a fallback and more as a daily ritual — which means the spots that survive here have to earn repeat business.

All 6 restaurants

Pizza

Quarantino's

★ 4.9(695)· $$

The Crab Rangoon pizza, a Detroit-style rectangle with creamy crab filling and sweet chili heat, is the kind of thing that gets people talking. Quarantino's runs a tight menu of bold, inventive pies on a properly blistered, thick-edged crust that holds its shape when you pick it up. The pickle sticks and sourdough bread with hot honey are worth ordering alongside.

Mexican

Tamales Mary Eastown

★ 4.7(294)· $

The tamales are the main event here, thick and packed with filling, not an afterthought. The Friday special of three tamales is worth planning around, with options like beef, cheese and jalapeño, and spicy chicken. Tostadas and enchiladas have their regulars too, and the horchata is a solid call.

American

The Pita House

★ 4.6(1,150)· $

The chicken shawarma platter runs $24 and comes with hummus, Greek salad, and pita. Portions are large enough to split, and the presentation gets noticed. Greek pantry items line the shelves for take-home shopping alongside a self-serve soda machine.

Mexican

Mi Pueblito Mexican Restaurant

★ 4.7(208)

The chicken fajitas at Mi Pueblito draw serious praise, and the Enchiladas Oaxaquenas in house-made mole have converted more than one skeptic. Horchata comes rice-made, not from powder, and the large is genuinely large. A family-run spot on Wealthy St that earns the drive from well outside Grand Rapids.

Cafe

Fruition Açai & Juice Bar

★ 4.6(291)· $$

Açai bowls are the main draw at Fruition on Lake Drive, with multiple variations and fresh fruit that regulars keep coming back for. Cold brew and hot coffee round out the menu alongside smoothies. Orders move fast, and the staff tends to recognize familiar faces.

Pizza

Cottage Inn Pizza Grand Rapids Eastown

★ 4.5(208)· $

The deep dish at this Eastown Cottage Inn runs fluffy and properly cooked, and the antipasto salad with house-made Italian dressing is worth adding to the order. It's a chain, but this location has a loyal following since reopening in Grand Rapids. The staff moves quick on phone orders.
