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.“

“Excellent Halal fast food place! The food tasted great, portions were good, and everything was served fresh. The service was fast and professional, and the staff made me feel welcome. Prices are reasonable, and the restaurant is always clean. One of the best fast food spots in the area!“

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

“Best spinach pie EVER!!!!!“

“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.“

“I’ve been a regular here at university roadhouse for years! They’ve always got great specials to try, and they’re making sure to spice things up often!
Today I went in planning to get my usual, but I was looking at the fish sandwich special. I talked to Hayley V and she convinced me to try it out and it was fantastic! 10 stars to her, and her great attitude out there running around during the rushes they were having. Great employee and Super polite!
Also, I do have to shout out the bar tender working today too. Zoe is always polite and on top of everything! Thank you both for the great service today.“

“I had my first meal there on 12/21/24, excellent food! I will return!“

“Food was amazing! Burmese Pork and the dip trio won the night. Daughter loved her Salmon too. Had a reservation and was seated right away by a very nice young lady. Waiter was training and will be very good with a little more practice.“

“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!“

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

I would definitely recommend this place 10/10“

“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. 🥰“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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 !“

“What a lovely experience this was. The brewery itself was lovely. Very much like an old pub. We had great service and some top notch piers. The even had a specialty beer for the mountain goats to work performing on their loan that night. Being able to have beer and then walk out back to say a grade concert was fantastic!“

“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!“

“I came in today with my sister’s family, including my 2 year old niece who has celiac’s disease. The waitress, Lizzy, took it very seriously and even brought out the food that was made in the allergen kitchen wearing gloves to reduce risk of cross contamination.

I can’t say how much we appreciate not only that AH has a special allergy kitchen but that their staff is also clearly trained and understands the severity of food issues like this. It’s hard to find places to eat that will go the extra mile but it means everything to my sister and brother in law that they know they can eat here safely. ❤ Also, everyone’s meal was delicious and the service was great 😊“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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'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.“

“great food awesome waitress mimosa was the best“

“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!!“

“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“

“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.“

“We had no power so drove to Allegan, Plainwell, and ended up in Kalamazoo before we found any place with power. This was our 1st time. The food was awesome! And neither of us had steak! I had the pulled pork, 😋 my husband had Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp 🍤 it was amazing! And the peanuts 🥜 were so fresh 😋 I also had some popcorn 🍿 from the waiting room. Highly recommended 👌 👍 👏 💯“
