27 Best American Restaurants in Portage

“I love this place! I went with my family. I got the chicken strips, yum. Do yourself a favor and get anything that requires ranch. I want to be buried with this ranch! I tried my sister's goulash and that was tasty.
Our server was named Nadyia. She was sweet to us, attentive, and honestly really kind. I hope she's my server next time.“

“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! 💜💜💜“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“The closest thing to perfection I’ve ever come across was the day i sat down at this specifics Applebees in February; and came across Maggie. She genuinely redefines what it means to serve. When i serve, i mean make you feel like family. She was on top of the refills, brought PIPING hot chicken tenders, and made sure all of needs were tended to. When it comes to nurturing, looking no further than Maggie. She is the end all be all of what it means to be a an exemplary server. Give this woman a raise asap!“

“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.“

“I checked this place out on a recent business trip. The food was good, the lady that served me wasn’t so good. She kept leaving for long periods of time, the couple next to me had to send a dish back because it was incorrect, my appetizer and meal came out together. After the first waitress went missing again another waitress felt bad and got me the check and cashed me out.“

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

“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?“

“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...“

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

“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.“

“Area was nice and clean, waitress waiting on me immediately as I walked in I was in and out with my food. The food was amazing I had eggs with cheese bacon and pancakes. When I say the food was cooked perfectly the bacon was not even soggy it was perfect five stars for this IHOP“
