“The entire staff is totally a 10!! We most generally have Jessica when we come in for Sunday brunch. She is always upbeat and full of laughsl She knows us by name as we walk in. She knows what we drink and is put on the table with our menus. My brother orders the same thing and she knows by heart what he wants...and what he doesn't want. They all have a great sense of humor.They raise our spirits the day we go there.. which is much needed for seniors.“

“Good draft selection, yummy Bloody Mary, had cheese curds, fried pickles, pizza and a burger. Good reviews on the food all around. Glad to have this gem in town!!“

“The staff is amazing, friendly, and accommodating. Pricing is to die for. In this economy its refreshing to find somewhere to eat out at a reasonable price. Our party of four spent lest than $50 bucks. 🤯 I highly recommend everyone to at least check them out once. Food was delivered to our table in a timely manner and the atmosphere is very down home. I can not praise this place enough. Thank you Rise-N-Dine for being an amazing place to take the family.“

“Amazing food, dining experience, delicious drinks. Great service. 10/10“

“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.“

“Great people great food just an overall great place to eat“

“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 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!“

“Awesome healthy dining. I loved it!“

“They were able to fit in our large party at the last minute! Servers were super friendly and food was great.“

“Quality and delicious. Will be returning.“

“We had a large table, a last minute reservation. Fletchers was fantastic! Claire served our team with the experience of an
20 year server (only she is only 17) and built such amazing relationships with our group, joking around with us by the end of the evening. Claire really made our night. Thank you for a fabulous time!“

“Menu online has changed. Photo of menu will be added. Company doesn't have access to the business account to change anything. Since the restaurant business isn't advertised, they maybe feed total of 5-20 people a night , rarely that it's 20.A new chef took over in April 2025, due to very little business the menu is small but very delicious. The chef is a culinarian of 28 years and also runs the banquets. Phenomenal food that I've experienced.“

“I have had a little trouble figuring out how to leave a review but I am passionate about sharing how wonderful Zeb’s is. The food is excellent, I have tried most everything! The service is the best! Shelly, Grace, Natalie, Keegan, Brady make this my favorite spot! Another guest here tonight showed me how to do a review and I wanted to thank her! Amy is blessed to have a great crew! Shout out to Zebs“

“Their food was spectacular especially the malts! Very nice and friendly little lady taking orders.“

“Martell’s has a wide array of options, however I came here to highlight the mushroom soup. All I want is SOUP! 🤩 It’s neat that they utilize West Michigan Pasta & Provision’s in their pasta entrees, as this man is often at the farmers market - bonus points for emphasizing sustainable sourcing! 🧑‍🍳 Proud to support this long standing establishment. 🥰“

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

“Ibison is nothing short of amazing. Everyone I spoke to was kind, professional, and helpful. Good luck choosing what to try first as everything they have taste amazing. Highly recommend their soft pretzel, it's incredible. If you see Ibison, you must stop by. A+++“

“We ate at Yogi's for the first time today and the food was delicious. We want to thank the kind man whom we believe was also a veteran who thanked my husband for his service and paid for our meals. It was a very gracious act.“

“We stopped for lunch. Had the Swiss Mushroom Buger w/fries & Chicken Club Wrap w/Onion Rings. 2 Ice Teas unsweetened. Our food was fresh, hot, very good, chicken club wrap had fresh ingredients, yummy. Love the ice tea. Service was great too. It was a little after the lunch hour so not to many customers, but looks like cool place to go for dinner and pool or dart game with family and friends. Thanks will go again.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“Had the coconut curry salmon special tonight. Probably the best salmon I’ve ever had. Generous portion of house made mashed potatoes, carrots, and a nice little garlic toast. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We came in after reading a review in a tourist magazine and were so happy that we did! Amazing vegetarian Apple squash burger (So delish!) and the “Beast” burger, Harvest salad, chili and cornbread, thick hand cut onion rings and brownie Sundae. Beer and cider don’t disappoint - I loved the cherry cider they made and my husband enjoyed the beer. Accommodating kitchen, staff and owners, we really enjoyed and will be back. Check them 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.“

“Great atmosphere. Good food.“

“Been here a few times and had great overall service, the food is good and reasonably priced and the waitstaff is attentive and positive. All good restaurants consistently have a manager check on each table and this one is no exception. My favorite times coming here were for the karaoke which is far better than any others in the area.“

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

“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.“

“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“
