50 Best American Restaurants in Kalamazoo

“My first time dining at Brick and Brine was tonight. The food and ambiance was fabulous and Travis and Mike were amazing and knowledgeable servers. Looking forward to dining there again.“

“I drove all the way from Detroit just to try the 4x4 burger and loaded fries, and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was delicious, and it was definitely worth the drive. I’d happily make the trip again every week. People who live in Kalamazoo are so lucky to have such a great restaurant nearby! Highly recommended!“

“Best spinach pie EVER!!!!!“

“Every time we eat here our food is hot, service is good and not too pricey for a big family.“

“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.“

“The food and atmosphere make you look forward to returning before the meal is even over.“

“Very good experience! I took my friends here and they were so impressed that I picked somewhere that good! My friend’s new boyfriend was raving about the tuna dish and I swear it’s the most he’s ever said about anything in the entire time I have known him!“

“We've been to Fletcher's Pub many times and it was time to give a review. The manager, Eric is a very friendly, outgoing man. Our waiter, Ryan was patient and hardworking. We were with friends that needed assistance. They helped opening the doors when coming in and going out. The food that the four of us had was excellent! They have a great variety on their menu. We will be back soon!“

“Our FAVORITE breakfast place in Kalamazoo. Great service, great food, reasonable pricing, daily specials, wonderful friendly people…..we eat here weekly…..“

“Still the best burger in Kalamazoo!“

“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 group visited on Jan 2nd, and while everyone else's meals were fine, I was incredibly disappointed with the Pot Roast Stacker. I’ve had this dish at many restaurants, but this version was a massive letdown. Instead of tender pot roast, I was served dry, thin slices of lunch meat roast beef that tasted like a cheap 70s TV dinner. For such a simple meal, the quality was unacceptable. Save your money and order something else—avoid the pot roast at all costs.“

“We stop here frequently before or after my 3 year olds chemo treatment. The pancakes are her absolute favorite!!! I love the veggie omelette with no tomato (add bacon) 😋 I promise you they have the best Texas toast. Can't wait to go back!!“

“Great food and service!!“

“As an Executive Chef ( currently on vacation) .. this was an excellent experience . Amazing food , excellent attention to detail, great staff and amazing management . I’ll definitely be going back when in town ! Oh , and the wine was great too !“

“My sister and I stopped by for brunch on Saturday morning.
The whole vibe of the place is warm and welcoming with very friendly serving staff.
The food variety wasn't the big. We ordered Onion rings, the warm pretzel and the chicken sandwich. Both the appetisers were good but I found the chicken too dry and hard. I removed it from the bun and had it just on its own. Not sure if it's supposed to be served like that.

Other than that, all good. Saw many families & couples occupying other tables.“

“Amazing environment, great food, great ice cream, breakfast all day, fast and friendly service. Outstanding!“

“Fun place. Went in recently- they had great fries again. Service was good. The karaoke nights seem to be where it’s at. That and Tuesday nights for the regulars. I like the atmosphere. Hopeful for more live bands.“

“We have become regulars for Tuesday nights Music Bingo! The staff at HighDive are fun, energetic, friendly and they are always taking care of their patrons. The food is amazing, the drinks are delish, and the atmosphere is welcoming.“

“Went over for breakfast the other day while staying in the area. Not a fancy place, but good solid food. I enjoyed my veggie omelette and turkey sausage, although the omelette was a bit greasy. My wife liked her Alaska French toast and regular French toast. Our server was really good. She was friendly, attentive, didn't auction off the food and pre bussed our table. Prices are average and it's worth stopping by.“

“reasonable price but great food“

“We stopped for lunch. Had the Swiss Mushroom Buger w/fries & Chicken Club Wrap w/Onion Rings. 2 Ice Teas unsweetened. Our food was fresh, hot, very good, chicken club wrap had fresh ingredients, yummy. Love the ice tea. Service was great too. It was a little after the lunch hour so not to many customers, but looks like cool place to go for dinner and pool or dart game with family and friends. Thanks will go again.“

“It is amazing and such a wonderful lunch café, and the food is always fantastic!“

“I've worked with the new owners both personally and professionally and am consistently impressed by their dedication to customer care. Their delicious food is perfect for any occasion, especially as thoughtful gifts for those who could use a convenient, tasty meal.“

“My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day with lunch here. The food was amazing and the presentation was perfect . It's very seldom that we have a three course meal (four if you count the cocktails/mocktails), and this one rates right at the top of the ones we have had over the years! Thank you to Jadon and staff for the perfect Valentine's Day experience! We will certainly be back!“

“Absolutely delicious!! I got the garlic parm with lemon pepper on it and they were the best wings I’ve ever had!!! I hope to see the wing hut in GR soon!“

“Excellent old time classic venue with good brews and food on the north side of Kalamazoo.“

“I’m 36 and this is the Best breakfast I’ve ever had!“

“The general manager is a sweetheart! If you’re looking for delicious food, friendly staff, and good vibes, this is your spot! It’s literally steps from WMU’s campus and a great place to hit when attending events such as theatre productions or athletic competitions. We’ll be back soon!“

“had Juila as a server and she was amazing! fast service and good nachos“

“First time visiting. Had a smash burger and fries. It was an excellent burger. The taste made my mouth come alive“

“A real local gem. Wraps that taste great and are well priced.“

“We came in after reading a review in a tourist magazine and were so happy that we did! Amazing vegetarian Apple squash burger (So delish!) and the “Beast” burger, Harvest salad, chili and cornbread, thick hand cut onion rings and brownie Sundae. Beer and cider don’t disappoint - I loved the cherry cider they made and my husband enjoyed the beer. Accommodating kitchen, staff and owners, we really enjoyed and will be back. Check them out“

“She was awesome! Ashely was very accommodating and helpful. She was attentive and understood the importance of catering to kids. We would hope to get her as our server again. HIGH MARKS!!“

“Hi I live in a sick satanic house help me find somewhere else to live they are Satanist’s that sacrifice people to demonic spiders and witches they are all going to hell“

“I’ve ordered delivery a few times (never been to the restaurant itself) and it’s been absolutely incredible every time! When they were closed on Monday, we decided not to order breakfast at all rather than ordering from another establishment! The prices, sizes, and quality are great. Highly recommend the omelettes and skillets! I love that I can build my own exactly how I like it without worrying about price gouging! My favorite breakfast place so far in Michigan!“

“Love this place. Original campus tavern for Western Michigan University. Very fun on game day! Food is great and beer is fresh and cold. Don't listen to any other reviews! Their one bad experience does not do justice to what an amazing place this is.“
