But usually it's me eating out at restaurants and spending way too much time in downtown Grand Rapids . Whether it's to try something new or just to kill a few hours before your next class, these restaurants are sure to satisfy.  Allendale MI Laura Quinting Getting the munchies at 10 p.m. isn't a problem for Main St. Mostly attracting Grand Valley Students their deals are a sure-fire way to be satisfied for less. The Pub Burger (see photo) is only $3.99 with fries on Tuesdays after 9 p.m. Their specials such as kids eat free and $.50 tacos are sure to make Main St. your go to night out.
