50 Best American Restaurants near Oshtemo

“I recently visited Ted & Marie's Colonial Inn Restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The ambiance was that of a classic diner, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. My server was very nice and efficient, taking my order promptly. I opted for the Colonial Club, a ham club sandwich, with a side of fries. The sandwich was delicious, especially the ham. The crinkle-cut fries were also a hit. Overall, the food was good and reasonably priced. However, I did find the menu to be somewhat limited, lacking some diner staples like open-faced sandwiches. Despite this, I would go back again.“

“Looked for a good burger on google they sent us here. It's national cheeseburger day after all. This place did not disappoint. Patty was good, and the cheese was perfect. It's better than Nonla, who seems to have fallen back on quality a bit.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best spinach pie EVER!!!!!“

“Amazing food, dining experience, delicious drinks. Great service. 10/10“

“LOVE Youz Guys! Best AUTHENTIC Chicago Dog around!!“

“We dined at Craftsman this evening. Great happy hour and starter specials. The crab soup was tasty. All our entrees were delicious. Desserts were perfect ending to great meal. Highly recommend. Friendly, efficient waitstaff.“

“The food was good. We ate upstairs so we could be outside. We waited a while before we were served. The server didn’t introduce herself. We had to continue to ask multiple times for the same items. She was aloof in her service to us and therefore we tipped her accordingly. When she saw the tip she was surprised that the amount reflected the service we received. Tips are not automatically given they are earned.

We definitely would come again because the food was good. We would want a different server.“

“top we est very goo there“

“We drive 2 hours for their food! Excellent service and the best tasting food. Every thing is amazing.“

“the customer service is amazing and the root beer floats but the chilli is appalling. it used to be kind of decent but I have no idea what happened to it now. if it was better they'd get even more business. almost everyone loved a good chilli dog. I know it's inexpensive but I'll pay a little bit more for better quality.“

“We celebrated our daughter's wedding with a family dinner (The Hopkins Wedding, a party of 14) in the loft area The service was outstanding! The food was amazing! I've never been to a dinner where everyone was saying, "You've got to try this!' and everyone was tasting each other's dishes. They were fine with us bringing a wedding cake and even found a box big enough to hold the leftover cake. Speaking of leftovers, most of us required take home containers because of the generous portions.We weren't about to leave food that tasty behind!“

“Had a great 16th birthday dinner here for my little brother whom I take care of! Thank you for being apart of this special memory! Cove accommodated my reservation weeks in advance with no issues 5/5“

“First time going to Fletchers pub. The chips and queso were great, the best queso and chips in town! The bourbon bowl with shrimp was a great choice, not too heavy on the sauce, and tasted very fresh. Pizza was also great and had a good amount of sauce on it. Very great service and food came out promptly!“

“Has always been a solid option, however my wife and I were in for dinner at 8pm last Tuesday and the service and food was sub par at best. There was Zero hustle in the restaurant, claimed they were busy but the patio was maybe 3/4 full, and we were one of 4 tables inside. The vibe was completely off. Multiple servers staring at each other, while it took tables 10+ minutes to be acknowledged and have the server come to the table. Had a view of the kitchen, and there was zero hustle there either. It seemed like no one wanted to be there. Food was not good and almost inedible. We didn’t even bother complaining. If this were my first time there, I would never go back. However I know that it’s not normal. We were highly disappointed.“

“The staff here are great folks. I have eaten or ordered from here only a few times, but see them outside of their job often as well. They are always friendly and professional. The food has always been as ordered, and great! Great place to watch a game, socialize, have good food, and drinks.“

“Pleasant staff & very good food! This was our first time trying this place. Initial plan was to try The Cozy Egg in Mattawan but their waitress was not pleasant and after barking at us and the customer behind us for leaving the door open too long (being a gentlemen and opening the door for us) we left. Glad we gave Nanny’s our business & will be back!“

“I have to apologize to Josies. I was able to get the actual phone number for their location! So sorry for my previous post! I am here now waiting for my shrimp and f grits, and fried green tomatoes, and dressing!“

“I have had a little trouble figuring out how to leave a review but I am passionate about sharing how wonderful Zeb’s is. The food is excellent, I have tried most everything! The service is the best! Shelly, Grace, Natalie, Keegan, Brady make this my favorite spot! Another guest here tonight showed me how to do a review and I wanted to thank her! Amy is blessed to have a great crew! Shout out to Zebs“

“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. 🥰“

“The food is very good for what they charge. Their prices are really low and they are pretty quick to prepare food. The breakfast sandwich is good and very affordable. My son had pancakes and loved them.

Kid-friendliness: A nice place to take your kid to breakfast“

“If you get the opportunity to be served by Logan and Jade downstairs, do not miss it under any circumstance. I haven’t been to downtown in a long time (I’m a country hick), and these two treated my group like we were the only people in the restaurant. As far as those two were concerned, we were royalty. While they were “just doing their jobs,” they were amazing. If the rest of the staff is half as good as these two, do not hesitate to stop in. We could not have dreamed of better service. I just hope we tipped enough for how they treated us.“

“My husband and I had a day date here and it was a great atmosphere and amazing food. Not to mention delicious drinks!“

“Nice owners and good food.“

“We are from Tennessee, and this place made us feel at home! The service was fantastic and the food was made as perfect as any southern diner I've ever been in. We took my sister's family the next day so we could share our experiences. We will definitely return the next time we are in town!!“

“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.“

“I absolutely adore this place! The owners are hands-on every single day, making sure everyone has a top-notch experience. The staff are incredibly warm and helpful, always ready to assist with picking out gifts or handling big orders. A huge thanks to the whole team for making me feel like part of the family every time I visit!“

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

“I found this cute little restaurant while I was staying in Kalamazoo. The food was amazing, the service was excellent and the prices were unbelievable. Gia was my server all three times i came in, and she really went above and beyond. On my second visit, I also met Bre, who made this delicious treat for me, after I had a pretty tough morning. Thanks ladies! I will definitely be back.“
