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

“We were treated like VIP and enjoyed the amazing appetizers and sushi. Thanks”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

“I love their smoked meats and sides!”

“The biscuits are the best.”

“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!!!”

“Everything about our experience was 5 star except their completely lame priority seating concept. Who ever came up with that should be shot. If I make a reservation with a restaurant for a specific time then I expect them to honor that time and not tell me it's a 45 minute wait because I really didn't make a reservation (which I did), they said they really don't except reservations just priority seating. That's BS, then why are they on Open Table?”

“We had a great time for our birthday party here!! :) We did feel a little rushed at some points, but over all one of the better kids birthday parties we have had!! :)

“Having spent 3 years in Germany in the late 70’s, Steinspark Biergarten is as authentic as you will find. I love the atmosphere, food, and the beer, brings back a lot of good memories.”

“The Jim Shoe is fantastic! Great service and you definitely get the most “bang for your Buck” with the food.”

“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!”

“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.

“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.”

“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!”

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?”

“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.”

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

“Review: Chick-fil-A - Portage, Michigan (6202 S Westnedge Ave)
​The Chick-fil-A in Portage, Michigan, maintains the brand's reputation for high-quality food and exceptional customer service, making it a reliable destination for fast-food chicken enthusiasts in the South Westnedge area.

​Service and Atmosphere
​This location consistently receives very high ratings for its service. Staff are frequently praised for being friendly, professional, and attentive—often going the extra mile, even during the busiest periods. The dining area is typically clean, welcoming, and family-friendly, featuring a children's play area.

​However, be prepared for crowds. Because of its popularity and location on a busy commercial strip, the drive-thru lines are notoriously long, especially during peak lunch and dinner hours. Despite the length of the queue, the management and staff are highly efficient at moving traffic swiftly. If you are in a rush, consider ordering ahead for a quick carry-out or aiming for off-peak times, particularly for breakfast, when the traffic is usually lighter.

​Menu Highlights
​The Portage location delivers on all the Chick-fil-A staples:
​The Signature Sandwich: The classic chicken sandwich is served hot, fresh, and perfectly crispy.
​Grilled Options: For a healthier choice, the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Grilled Nuggets are popular and noted for being a lean source of protein.
​Waffle Fries: Consistently praised for being served fresh and hot.
​Breakfast: The breakfast menu is popular, especially the Chick-n-Minis (bite-sized chicken nuggets served on mini yeast rolls) and the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit.

​Summary
​The Chick-fil-A in Portage is a top-performing fast-food restaurant known for its high-quality food and friendly, efficient service. If you are looking for that classic Chick-fil-A experience, this location delivers. Just be aware that quality can sometimes vary with temperature, and be prepared for pricing that reflects the custom, full-service dining environment.”

“Delicious affordable food. Their the kind of people you’d meet in public and be fast friends with, It’s like bumping uglies with your coats on. Jessica was the master of the chicken bacon ranch. So good I am watering at the mouth.”

“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 :)”

“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.”

“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!”

“1st time here- excellent service- wonderful food a will be back!”

“Okay so Google ask for readings on location, food, service and atmosphere. It is a Subway so I think that basically answers most of the questions. The store was very clean. The single-handedly complete did a great job and built us a very awesome tasting sub. I recommend it!”

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

“The wings are awesome and my favorite waitress Shelli is always on top of things!”

“Baristas are always helpful and kind! A friend and I went through the drive thru yesterday and when we got to the counter to pay, the barista told me it was on him. He had heard me saying I was having a terrible day and wanted to make my day with free coffee. It was so sweet & unexpected!”

“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.”

“I don’t know why anyone hates this place it’s amazing! The burgers are great and the fries are to die for, and I especially love that the jalapeños are fresh”

“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.”
