Restaurants in Portage

“Absolutely a wonderful place. The food is delicious. Great service”

“Staff was so polite and the food was amazing. We just love this place!! We are hoping other people realize and discover this healthy kind of food so we can get more restaurants like this and be able to eat healthier foods.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the wonderful chance to visit The Cove Lakeside Bistro and wow — what an experience! From the moment you walk in, those wall-to-wall windows and the lake view just take your breath away. The menu is completely scratch-made, with options for vegan, gluten-free, or any allergy accommodations you might need. The Lobster Cobb and the coconut-crusted cod and chips are definite must-haves. Whether it’s a date night, special occasion, or just a casual dinner with an unbeatable view, The Cove delivers every time. Highly recommend signing up for Millennium Rewards too — you don’t want to miss their specials and events!”

“Between their regular menu, extraordinary specials, and truly terrific team members, there's nothing to dislike about this wonderful spot in Kalamazoo/Portage. You'll never have a mediocre meal here. Visit Turbo Chicken! You won't regret it!”

“Everything was amazing, and prices were great. Sushi was probably the best I've had, chicken and steak hibachi and chicken curry katsu were all incredible. We will definitely be back soon ❤️”

“Whenever I’m in town (I live in Milwaukee, WI), I always make it a point to stop here! Easily the best ramen spot and they sell the broth to go so I can take it home with me! The boba is just as nice and the customer service is unmatched! I love this place so much ❤️”

“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!”

“Food is great quality for the price! Its delicious and creative! Def. will be adding them to my choices when I want some fast food!”

“IMHO PK is the best pizza in W Michigan. I love Jaspers also but the King is the King for a reason.”

“Great coffee! Nice place!”

“So fresh and delicious, I will definitely spread the word and I will be back. Keep up the amazing food.”

“Absolutely incredible food. I ate here earlier this week on a date and had to come back this weekend. Very fresh and authetic food. There is lively soft music in the background that is soothing to listen to. Fantasic service. Truly a gem nestled in the Kalamazoo area that I highly recommend. While they offer vegitarian, gluten free options, they also have lamb and goat 😋”

“loved the different types of frozen yogurt and toppings. even had little yopup cups for dogs”

“I liked it alot, I had lunch and felt like Olive Garden has not cheapened up it's restaurant like so many others have had to. A nice experience. It was far about average compared to other places nowadays.”

“My father and I went here waiting for his glasses to ge made at Eyemart Express.
We came here to have breakfast and it was delicious. I had a farmer's omelete with delicious creamy country gravy smothered on top. And my father had a combo of some sort. 2 eggs. Pancake, meat of choice and he loved it so much.
The waitress we had bless her soul. She was so nice. I dont know her name but the day we went she was in a cute hocus pocus sweater and jeans. With her hair pulled back.
She was the nicest and attentive.
P.s. antique kitchen is the perfect name for this place”

“Friday night during lent, it’s 6:15, they were swamped! Which is completely understandable. My two piece fish was crispy, oil was clean! My potatoes were hot, very good service. They did such a good job, Thankyou!”

“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”

“Great custard and fast. love the turtle sundae.”

“I really enjoyed the live music!”

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

“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.”

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

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

“Their turkey grinders are delicious”

“Awesome healthy dining. I loved it!”

“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!”

“Despite some mistakes made, everything was corrected with bonus! 😊

Came by yesterday for the pizza, great as usual. Tacos today, the best deal in the state!

Thanks for being wholesome”

“Best sushi in western michigan...tom, TWF driver”

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

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

“We were so happy to try this place out. The server suggested for the first time to try the chicken, and we were so glad we did. Very good portions. The spicy is very hot, and we are spice people, so caution if you have a low spice tolerance. Great flavor. I got half and half and the soy garlic is great as well.
The.pickled radish was a nice surprise.

Second time we tried the Ramen, boa buns and tne potstickers.”

“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!”

“great Bagels but 1 suggestion, please obtain packaging other than Harding's paper bags to throw a dozen sliced bagels in. These were bought for a clinic and people prefer to not have their food touched by others and the way these were provided, that couldn't be helped. Not sanitary, even a little bit.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 wife and I came in and Adam was ourvservice person ( took our order and made our food)
The smash burger and fries with a cookie was $10 and so good! Im surprised how good it is!! Above how good the food is, and how cheap it is, the best part was the service! Adam was so nice and took our order and said please and thank you a million times and brought our food out to us. Im sure working in a little cafe above the Air Zoo could probably get boring, but Adam had pep in his step and made us feel so welcome 🤗!!! Thank You Adam!!!!”

“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.”

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

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

“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 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.”

“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”

“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.”

“Great food, reasonably priced and VERY NICE staff. We will be back!!”

“Excellent pizza! I have a new favorite!”

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

“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?”

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

“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?”

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

“Steaks are yummy great atmosphere”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“great service it'll be a regular stop now”

“I'm impressed! My first time ordering here and not a single portion or my order was disappointing. There was way more flavor coming from all of it than I was expecting! Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 :)”

“Ive been to this location multiple times before. For some reason they believe this one to be the *best out of multiple locations in the area. I can attest to the carnitas being especially good here. This time I got steak burritos, which weren't bad. I still like the carnitas. We arrived between the lunch and dinner service and we're basically the only patrons. We took our time ordering, but they came back to check on our refills of drinks, chips and salsa. He got the basic nachos which had plenty of shredded chicken and more than he could eat. My burrito was good, mostly meat and cheese though. The rice and beans are just ok.”

“Jet's Pizza is hands down the best pizza in the area! We've tried many others, but always come back to Jet's. They know how to make pizza!”

“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. 😁”
