If you desire a quick lunch and a really delicious item from the bakery for dessert this place is perfect! New, clean and very quick and friendly service! Ryke's has been a family owned business in Muskegon for sixty years and now they have opened in Grand Haven. Perfect for picking up a sandwich to take to the beach! I highly recommend the chicken salad wrap. They are best known for their butter frosting and believe it or not you can buy that in a personal size container to just eat! Also, a HUGE favorite is their butter cookie - oh so good!
