“My 9yo grandson wanted to try a new place to eat lunch today so he Googled restaurants nearby his home and thought this sounded good. So we went there and found his new favorite place to eat in the world! They had fresh cut fries which he raved about! Mimi, these are so good, way better than Mc Donald's! And those were his favorite fries , lol. He also got 1/4 BBQ chicken with spicy sauce, baked beans and garlic toast. I tried their Italian beef with peppers and onions. There was more food than we could eat and it was all delicious. The owner was very nice, helpful and personable but not intrusive at all. We required a to go container for my grandsons leftovers so he now had a full lunch for tomorrow as well. Food was very fresh and well made with large portions and the restaurant was clean and full of sports memorabilia. It's a delightful change from chain places and I highly recommend it.”

Lake Burger 4404 W Main St, Kalamazoo Hot Dogs • $

“Lake Burger on West Main is a real gem. The burgers are made from locally sourced, pasture-raised beef, and you can taste the difference. Everything feels fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The fries are hand-cut and some of the best I’ve had — crispy, flavorful, and not too greasy. Jake, the owner, is there every hour, making sure things are running smoothly and checking in with customers. It’s rare to see an owner that hands-on, and it really shows in the quality of the food and service. Jake’s a great guy, and his passion for his restaurant comes through in every detail. If you’re looking for a great burger in Kalamazoo, Lake Burger is the spot. Highly recommend!”

“I don’t like doing one stars anymore. If someone has that bad of a opinion nobody forced you to go here . A lot of people crying over prices. Again nobody made you buy here . But on the other hand everything I ate wasn’t very fresh. To eat the French toast you need a cup of water to dip it in . Way to hard . I got hash here and was like rocks . The slushes are the best . But nice little snack area. Only thing two employees was talking and I walked up stood there for 30 seconds and they still didn’t say anything. So I said excuse me . Still nothing. So I walked away . They then tried to help me and I said nvm pay attention to your customers. With all this I still give a 5 star. Because it helps a manager talk to these people to fix the issues. If you complain about the price and give a one star , just seems crazy . Also with COVID I think they should clean the tables. Couldn’t find one clean table and they just stood there for most part”

I stop at this truck stop regularly, and I do believe being served the burger this way was an honest mistake.

After talking to Jeff, a new manager, he corrected the mistake and made me a new meal. He seemed very concerned and even stated that he is keeping a closer eye on the grill.

His eye contact and professionalism convinced me of his genuine effort.

Thank you, Jeff. I appreciate people like you, and I hope you keep training this standard with all of your employees.

I also appreciate the handshake.”

“Came in from out of town and made sure to check out a hockey themed bar being a live long hockey fan. Burger was good despite me not being super hungry. Service was great and our bartender/waitress was great. Only issue was this loud drunk couple swearing and yelling loudly at the bar, throwing F bombs and loudly calling people pussies. I watched the bartender tell him to tone it down a few times but the guy was just a loud belligerent drunk. I am no prude but I don’t go to a restaurant to listen to that. This was at 7:00 not 10:30. Glad I didn’t bring young children with me as that would have been an issue. Loved the place other than that.”

“Martell’s has a wide array of options, however I came here to highlight the mushroom soup. All I want is SOUP! 🤩 It’s neat that they utilize West Michigan Pasta & Provision’s in their pasta entrees, as this man is often at the farmers market - bonus points for emphasizing sustainable sourcing! 🧑‍🍳 Proud to support this long standing establishment. 🥰”

“My 9yo grandson wanted to try a new place to eat lunch today so he Googled restaurants nearby his home and thought this sounded good. So we went there and found his new favorite place to eat in the world! They had fresh cut fries which he raved about! Mimi, these are so good, way better than Mc Donald's! And those were his favorite fries , lol. He also got 1/4 BBQ chicken with spicy sauce, baked beans and garlic toast. I tried their Italian beef with peppers and onions. There was more food than we could eat and it was all delicious. The owner was very nice, helpful and personable but not intrusive at all. We required a to go container for my grandsons leftovers so he now had a full lunch for tomorrow as well. Food was very fresh and well made with large portions and the restaurant was clean and full of sports memorabilia. It's a delightful change from chain places and I highly recommend it.”

Large portion on a fresh roll but I would prefer the meat to not be ground up so much. Wife had a hamburger and was very pleased with her sandwich. The regular french fries were very hot with a large portion. Will come back again.”

“You were a first suggestion from a local hotel. We went with it and boy were we glad we did! First thing noticed was the delicate yet beautiful land scape. Upon entering we were greeted with many “good mornings” :) it felt good. The colors of the establishment really make you feel welcomed. It was not hectic or crazy or loud yet the machine was working so beautifully. Our waiter was incredibly kind and on top of the coffee refills! The food….. my goodness how can we forget that…. I mean y’all are a restaurant right!! I swear it felt like I was reviewing something for better homes and gardens…. The food was priced well below average I’d say. But the portions were over achieved. Both of us were over satisfied with our visit. Thank you…. Great/ impeccable service is hard to find! Way to go management/owner!!!!”

Hibachi Sushi Buffet 4405 S Westnedge Ave, Kalamazoo Buffet • $

“My family and I love this place! Hint; If you plan to go for dinner you will want to arrive between 4:30 - 5:00 pm as that is around the time they clean up the lunch items and bring out the dinner items, fresher than you'll get anywhere else. I recommend the sushi bar and fresh veggie sous chef area if you're into eating fresh & healthy. Tip your chef well and when you're done, tip your server well even though it's a buffet the servers work hard and are awesome at getting anything you need and of course they also clean up after you and your family so I always tip them at least 30%, they more than deserve it and after all the money you saved by eating here, you can afford it.”
