“We placed a small catering order this past weekend for our son's first birthday party and the morning of the party, half of our guests canceled due to illness. We called in a panic to try and downsize the order and ultimately had to cancel our taco bar. Whomever we talked to was incredibly gracious and understanding but we felt terrible for our change in plans. We had our hearts set on mexican food and were able to still place a pickup order for our remaining guests that afternoon. From burritos, bowls, quesadillas, and guac, our guests enjoyed it very much! The portions were impressive, everything was hot and fresh, and well packaged. Incredible value, great quality food - we highly recommend Fiesta Burrito and can't wait until our next visit. Thank you!”

I have had almost everything on the menu and you cannot go wrong with any of the choices. They know me by name when I walk through the door. The pickles are to die for. The turbo sauce is a must have and the tots are always so crispy. I am drooling just thinking about it. Thanks for all you do for your team & customers!”

“Francos is a classic pizzeria offering local authentic pizza for Portage residents. We thoroughly enjoy the pizza as well as the subs and will keep coming back as long as we can. Great options on the menu and decent pricing goes a long way when the food is already delicious!”

“Their turkey grinders are delicious”

“I have been a loyal customer at Ritter's (Portage, MI) for at least 10 years and it is because of their delicious Icecream and friendly service. During my visit today, I was disappointed in how a member of the staff handled a mistake with my order. I am not sure if she was the manager or owner, but during the confusion of getting my order and charges correct, I was still unsure if I was receiving the correct change back, especially after she mistakenly gave me back the wrong amount the first time. As I was still trying to figure it out in my mind, someone must've spoken to her through the headset microphone she had on and she says loud enough for me to hear, "she's arguing about a dollar." I felt this to be quite rude to allow me to hear, especially since I was not "arguing" and after I waited patiently for them to make the corrections to the "mistakes" that they had made. Afterward, I relayed to her that I just wanted it to be right, regardless of if it were only a dollar, as I feel the dollars (and loyalty cards) I use to pay for my order are earned and mine. In all my years of being a customer, I have never been spoken about in this way. I'm hoping that it will be the last and that it was just an off day.”

“I love their burgers and the fried chicken sandwich. Onion rings are good as well as the hot pepper cheese balls. I gotta say I think their prices have gotten a little outta hand ($13.95 for just the chicken sandwich NO SIDES INCLUDED) Seems a little steep, but it always hits the spot.”

“I really enjoyed the live music!”

“Loved the crab Rangoons and the Jac's special pizza. Both were hot, fresh and delicious!”

“I had an absolutely delightful experience at Y’OPA Frozen Yogurt during my visit to Portage, Michigan! As a tourist, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the incredible customer service from Kenisha truly elevated the entire experience. She was incredibly warm, patient, and knowledgeable, guiding my boyfriend and me through all the available frozen yogurt flavors with detailed and enthusiastic descriptions. Her helpful suggestions made us even more excited to create our own custom treats!

The staff’s friendliness and the whimsical, delectable flavors of the frozen dessert made this visit unforgettable. It was such a fun and tasty way to cap off our day. Thank you, Y’OPA, for a memorable and delicious treat, we’ll definitely be back!”

“Good food, a lot of menu options, fast a as bd efficient service”

“Awesome healthy dining. I loved it!”

“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.”

“My husband and I went for lunch on Valentine’s Day we love Red Robin’s food is always great our server Diamond Was an excellent waitress very attentive made sure we had refills made also made sure we were happy with our food the only complaint I have is that the supervisors were just standing around never table touched I think table touching is very important for a manager/ supervisor especially on a holiday other than that excellent experience”

“Pretty effing delicious and great portion sizes! I can't get enough of the Cool Noodles.”

“My friend and I were in from out of town and I'm so glad we chose Main St. Pub! It was hard to decide what to order because there were so many tempting choices, but we ended up with burgers, which were good. The fries were the best ever!! Marissa did a great job helping us, and the other staff was on spot with clearing dishes and checking in on how we were doing (but we weren't bugged). Oh, and the seasonal apple martini was fantastic!”

“I ate at the Portage location while my dog was getting groomed next door. The people were so nice and hospitable. The pizza was amazing also. 10/10!”

“Alright, Jersey Giant, kuddos to you! I recently placed a large online order for myself and eight of my co-workers, and I was thoroughly impressed.

Everyone's order was perfectly accurate, which is a rarity these days. The entire team agreed that the subs were amazing, and it was a refreshing change from our usual pizza lunch.

Jersey Giant truly deserves a 10 out of 10 rating! Highly Recommend!”

“Had a wonderful 8 square “6 mile” at Northwestern Highway.”

“Pepper honey is something you dont even think about going together but it's yummy...

Kid-friendliness: Crayons and pages to color to help keep kiddos busy”

“I love that they employee people with special needs! everyone is really friendly, but the best part is that all of their drinks are incredible.”

“The parfeits, shakes, energy bites and drinks have helped me in my getting healthy life style”

“Great place to eat and drink with friends or family”

“Tried the summer veggie and sausage, cheddar, chive quiche for dinner tonight. They were amazing. Hands down best quiche I've had!”

“Extremely disappointed! Just stopped at Tiffany’s at 8:15Am on Sunday, walked in the door and restaurant was 1/2 full with no wait! As soon as we walked in manager and 2 staff immediately left to the kitchen with no acknowledgment. 5 min later hostess came to us and said there was a wait in the kitchen of 5-10 min and would not seat us! There were several open tables so why not at least seat us?”

“The Cafe has delicious food at fair prices. Burgers were juicy, fries were super fresh, hotdogs were perfect. Fountain drinks and bottled drinks available. We bought 2 temperature changing cups as a souvenir. The food is brought to your table. Plenty of tables and chairs. The lights have cute fixtures. Wonderful service with a smile. The second floor has wonderful view of museum floor which has elevator accessibility.”

“Wow - a nice surprise. First time at Jersey Giant Subs - and I am glad I did stop in. Fresh and flavorful sub - I had the classic. Well prepared - just the right amount of seasonings and sauce. I added pickles and giardiniera to the standard toppings. Glad they offer Great Lake Chips which are the best. To top it all off - service was friendly and helpful and welcoming. Thank you.”

“I placed an order today and it was inadvertently delivered to my neighbors. But before I found it, the manager was super apologetic and said she would make a new order and have it right out to me. Thank you for being super professional and nice! We love our Jimmy Johns.”

“I have a lot of food allergies (nuts, coconut and sesame) and this location is very good about keeping things separate. Very yummy. And my dog loves his pup cup too!”

“I just found this place a couple weeks ago and have started coming here for lunch instead of JJs. The bread is so good and the sandwiches are huge. They are superior in every way to the big chains. And it’s nice to support a local spot. The lunch deal is also a great special!”

“On 1/17/25 I ordered a carryout fry. When I was at the counter the guy in front of me appeared to be extremely rude to the Chick-fil-A employee. He looked as if he was trying to intimidate her. When I placed my order, she still seemed a little shaken up but remained professional. The same guy was fussing that they didn't listen. And when I was getting ready to leave another customer was being rude to an employee asking if he was a manager. Both employees in my opinion maintain professionalism and a smile.”

“Excellent pizza! I have a new favorite!”

“My go to take out restaurant. Everything is delicious”

“Just had some takeout for dinner. The staff were super friendly and warm. The atmosphere seems cozy and casual. But the food…omg the food…it’s made with love, friends. Like getting a hug from the inside. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back. So good.”

“The food is still awesome. Good people run it. Highly recommend”

“Amazing food and very friendly staff! The portions are big too. Food is fresh.”

“Penn Station is chow! Their Philly Cheesteak is so delicious! The bread is so soft and melts in your mouth. Their fries are handmade from freshly cut potatoes. The chocolate chunk cookies are simply the best! Best sub place around.”

“I went there this morning at like 6:50/7 am ish, I just moved here from a smaller area and the girls this morning were great. My sandwhich was cut in half?? I don’t know if that’s a bigby standard or if my location back home was lacking but I was AMAZED by that. And my mock tail tasted different than usual, which is outstanding it’s so much better than my normal location. The 2 girls that were working did so well with making my items and I’m definitely coming back. The little things matter and this place definitely made it a great experience enjoying my food, they for sure deserve a performance bonus!❤️”

“Steaks are yummy great atmosphere”

“This is hands down the best smoothie I have ever tasted. I had the Lemon Twist Strawberry and added raspberries, so delicious! The crew on shift was knowledgeable and engaging, I highly recommend Smoothie King in Portage.”

“My wife and I got the Bahama Mama smoothies and they were excellent! Delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day! I also appreciate that they have healthy food options too, it allows you to have a proper meal if desired.”

“Food was beyond delicious I never had chicken so good in my 31 years of living they have mastered frying chicken and just chicken in general I can’t wait to go back I wish they stayed open later.”

“From the moment you walk in with a friendly hello, until your belly is full with bottomless chips and delicious food, you'll be glad you selected Moe's! And, who doesn't love a salsa bar?”

“Very clean and I requested gluten free due to allergy and they were very careful to switch gloves etc to avoid cross contamination which was really nice to see. Love that I can actually eat a sub with gf bread!”

“This place may be one of the best kept secrets. I love good food & great service and this place exceeded my expectations for both. Everyone in my family of 5 enjoyed the visit. We ordered, Dip Trio, Smashburger, Brussels, Fish & Boardwalk Fries, Chicken Tender Basket, some sodas, an Oberon, & a House Margarita. All of it was delicious! Highly recommend.”

“I have to say, if you are going to go to one Arby's in Portage, this one is the ONE to go to.”

“Food was hot and fresh and tasty service was excellent restaurant was very clean. Would go again. Also note that the restaurant had a super huge order and people working behind the counter were able to keep up with everything and be polite at the same time.”

“Great and cute coffee shop close to the Greenspire apartments. The staff have always been friendly and courteous as well! My favorite morning spot for a coffee or smoothie :)”

“We have eaten here twice now (once carry-out, once dine-in). The food was great both times, and when we dined in the service was friendly and prompt. (I did not pick up the carry-out order, so I don't know about service that time. My bet is that they were just as friendly and quick.) Definitely will be back, definitely recommend.”

“Fast and smiling service, good burger ((bacon was as if it was from yesterday), delicious fries but coke dispenser mixes coke with plenty of water (for which you pay 3,75€) in Barcelona… And t is clearly visible..”

“Love the to go option! I always get the three cheese penne chicken pasta and add a 6oz steak to it! (It's only $6.99 for the added steak 😉) Save half the pasta and steak for dinner the next day. 😁”
