Our story
Born from a Grand Rapids landmark.
The Schnitz began as an offshoot of the legendary Schnitzelbank Restaurant, carrying its old-world love of good food onto Fulton Street.
Formally the Schnitzelstein Delicatessen, “The Schnitz” has been an off-downtown lunch spot for decades — the kind of place where the line moves fast, the corned beef is piled high, and regulars know their order by heart.
Today the deli shares its space with Common Ground Coffee House, with a big dining room, hardwood floors and a deli case stocked with house-made salads and desserts.
