Graydon's Crossing Restaurant Temporarily Closes for Remodel in Grand Rapids
Graydon's Crossing restaurant in Grand Rapids temporarily closes March 31 for a complete remodel and reimagining of the beloved neighborhood gastropub.
Grand Rapids Favorite Hits Pause Before Refresh
Grand Rapids - Graydon's Crossing, one of the city's most beloved neighborhood gastropubs, is closing temporarily as it prepares for a complete remodel and reimagining of the restaurant.
The Creston staple, known for its cozy British pub vibe and dishes like fish and chips, shepherd's pie, and bangers and mash, first opened in 2005 and has been a Grand Rapids favorite for over two decades.
New Ownership Brings Fresh Vision
Over the years, the restaurant has gone through several ownership changes, including a 2017 sale to the team behind other Grand Rapids favorites, SpeakEZ Lounge and Garage Bar and Grill.
Most recently, in 2024, the restaurant was purchased by MudPenny owner Matthew Fuller, who made it clear from the start that the goal was to honor what people love about Graydon's while also bringing fresh energy to the space.
At the time, he shared that they planned to "preserve the restaurant's legacy while infusing new ideas," with updates already beginning and more on the horizon. Since then, some British classics have been revamped and other new menu items have been introduced, like butter chicken, goulash, and brunch dishes.
Temporary Closure Begins March 31
Now, the next phase for Graydon's Crossing is officially here. In a recent Facebook post, the team announced that March 31 will be their last day of service before a temporary closure.
The reason is a full remodel and reimagining of the restaurant. They described what's coming as "a refreshed concept, a renewed vision," focused on thoughtful hospitality and creating a space that feels both new and rooted in community.
Community Mixed on Changes
As you'd expect, longtime fans have mixed feelings about the announcement. Some are excited for the upgrade, while others are a little nervous about changes to a place they've loved for years.
If you want one more visit in its current form, you've got until March 31. After that, all eyes are on what Graydon's Crossing becomes next.
