50 Best American Restaurants near Oshtemo

“This place is such a great little local gem! I always have a great experience! Breakfast and lunch only, awesome servers, inexpensive, good food, not open on Sundays...very small town feel all around. Good group of regulars. It's definitely a favorite!“

“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!!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very good home cooked style of place. Had the turkey dinner with Mac-n-cheese and was delicious. Also, had a cup of homemade potato soup which was terrific. They have a selection of a dozen or more pies and huge cookies for dessert. I had the peach pie and it was awesome. The service was excellent and quick.“

“1st timers at Cove Lakeside Bistro and we say Wow Wow Wow! It was my birthday and we had wanted to visit for Valentine's Day but my husband was sick so we decided perfect time to go for my special day. We absolutely loved everything. Crab rangoons (best sauces), lobster fondue, topside burger (has a crab cake), bistro burger, fries, French onion soup, and carrot cake. Best cheeseburger I've ever had and I love cheeseburgers! Waitress was wonderful and sweet. Loved the look of the place. We will definitely be back and not just on on special occasions!“

“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…..“

“My first time eating at a Culver’s and as a person who has spent her entire adult life in marketing and sales I highly recommend. The service was amazing and the food was awesome. I especially want to give a shout out to Evan who took our order; he was a pleasure to meet, kind and brings value to the entire team. Every one was super friendly and sent me home with a concrete to eat later. Thank so much for everything you all did to make my first time such a wonderful and memorable experience. I pray God continues to bless you all! 💜💜💜“

“They were able to fit in our large party at the last minute! Servers were super friendly and food was great.“

“Great food, great ambience, and really nice people!“

“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. 🥰“

“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!!“

“I’m almost embarrassed to say .. how I’ve never stopped to eat here in all my many years, but today was THE day and it was absolutely delicious!! I forgot to take a picture of my mammoth waffle with an enormous amount of fresh strawberries and fresh whipped cream! The waitress raved about the peach waffle in the summer, so I definitely will need to try otherwise, everything was of delight in this quant breakfast place.“

“Great food and service!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 !“

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

“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 love this restaurant it's amazing definitely recommended, get the butter beer if your going“

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

“I would have given them 5 stars because the food was so good but just one thing made it a little uncomfortable for me. One of the servers ate food that had fallen off a plate onto the warming station and ate it with their fingers. I just felt that wasn't the most hygienic way to conduct food service. Also to keep their fingers out of their mouth would be good. Just thought that I would give you a heads up and maybe train them a little bit better in that regard. I really like this server though“

“Their turkey grinders are delicious“

“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.“

“Awesome place to grab a bite after a round of golf. Also, in case you didn't know, the grill room at the moors is open to the general public. However, the golf course is still private. The best times to visit the grill room if you don't want to be around a bunch of golfers is Wednesdays and Fridays as Tuesdays and Thursdays are leauge nights for the mens golf leauge. I would suggest making a reservation on either Wednesday or Friday a few days in advance. Also, Wednesdays are why cook Wednesdays and you get 30% off your bill. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for something different to try in portage michigan.“

“reasonable price but great food“

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

“great bar great bartenders very friendly and professional decent prices on food and drinks Shanna is one best highly recommended coming here“

“shout out to the staff who adjusted their policy to get me 5 dozen rolls to take to the cardiac unit nurses!!! was taking my dad dinner and couldn't let them nurses smell them and not share!!!“
