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.“

“Best spinach pie EVER!!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Great food and service!!“

“We were visiting our son, daughter in law and grandkids from NC. Our son suggested going to One Well Brewing. The food was delicious and we had a blast playing the games and bowling!!!“

“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. 🥰“

“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.“

“Edit: I have come back several times since my first review and just wanted to say that the gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free cinnamon roll is so worth it. Lizzy was our server today- SO NICE!

It had been decades since I went into this restaurant, and I was delighted to see that Anna's House is so charming! With an extensive menu that's allergy friendly and a comfortable dining room that was perfect for chatting even though it was very busy, I had a wonderful time catching up with a friend. Cora, our server, was among the best servers I've ever had. She was friendly, helpful, attentive, and she was kind enough not to rush us even though it was busy. I left a tip to reflect that! We will definitely be back!“

“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 !“

“+Came to see BC,NR in the beer garden. Great stuff. I'm glad they had vendors outside. A great place to see a show.
+Inside, prior to the show, everyone was incredibly friendly who worked there. Every bartender and worker otherwise was a smiling face, really good to see despite the potential stress of all the people there.

I don't know if I'll find myself in Kalamazoo ever again, but I'd love to stop in for a meal if so.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“reasonable price but great food“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“I was there to celebrate my niece's birthday. It was a great time with family but the lights were very low like we were having a romantic rendezvous. Parts of my food was cold and my partner didn't get his food and had to take it to go.“
