28 Best American Restaurants in Portage

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Awesome healthy dining. I loved it!“

“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! 💜💜💜“

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

“Very yummy food - great service by John😸“

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

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

“Their turkey grinders are delicious“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“The biscuits are the best.“

“They have good Mac and cheese, that's the only thing I could eat, as my steak that I ordered well done came to me raw and bloody, sent it back, it came back still partially raw and hard to cut. I would have eaten the broccoli if it wasn't setting in blood. But my hubby had the won ton shrimp with rice and it was very good.“

“What a pretty little place near the lake to watch the swans and other wildlife. There are places to park, or benches to sit on. What a pleasant little place to catch some fresh air and pleasant scenery on the lake. Good job, City of Portage!“

“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!!!“

“Delightful experience from start to finish! The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and exceptional breakfast menu make this place a true gem. Wymann’s Cafe is definitely a must-visit for anyone in Kalamazoo looking for a delicious and comforting breakfast.“

“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?“

“Very welcoming staff who seated us practically immediately and allowed us to pick where we sat . Food came out quickly and was all very good besides the nachos which were just alright, still filling thought! I recommend the chicken strips and iced tea. Will be back again sometime to try more dishes and the bar .“

“Food was very good. Server Doug? excellent.“

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

“Forgot how amazing this place is! Ordered online and picked up in store. It was hot and ready when they said it would be. Very friendly service while I checked out and the food was delicious! Cheesesteak and small fries for the win, I'm stuffed.“

“Everything was fabulous... They were ready to seat us right away... Becki (our server) was outstanding... She was right there for any of our requests and checked back often... The food was fantastic... All 8 of us had different choices and everyone was spot on... This is our 3rd Christmas Eve at Black Rock (along with other visits) and I would 100% recommend it...“

“We try to go to Steak ‘n Shake anytime we find them during our journey. They are a great price with a nostalgic feel. Food is always great.“

“Alicia was our server and she did a great job. She was very engaging and nice to us. Stay stayed attentive and was there to help answer questions and be helpful the entire visit. I wouldn’t want it any other way. The food is always great and not messed up, Thai is common and one of the reasons I comeback. I love IHOP and people like Alicia make it better every day.“
