“My husband and I ordered the biscuits and gravy. We were not disappointed. I asked if it had cut up sausage or was it ground sausage. It was ground sausage, as it should be...lol.I ordered a half order, and my husband ordered the full order. The half was plenty. We took a to go tray.The waitress was very nice and polite and the restaurant was clean.We will definitely be back. ?“
“My kids and I ate in at turbo last night. They did a phenomenal job, even while being under staffed. They were able to make my daughter a gluten free cheeseburger, subbed a different cheese for my sandwich, and didn't hesitate about my order being difficult. I asked for an extra cup so my kids could share a shake. They went above and beyond and split it in 2 different cups with cool whip on top of each. It made their day! Highly recommend!“
“amazing chicken tacos and I had to steal some of my husband's steak fries which were the best I've ever had. he had a burger that looked delicious and he confirmed it was. large portions. had to take home.ledt overs. love the indoor kids play area fully stocked with things to do so :-) will go back. my drink was really tasty too!“
“Got eggs benidict with house made hollidaise sauce with American fries. Wonderful. Watching the staff work their was like Watching a well oiled machine. Love to see that at a business. Make my experience that much more enjoyable. Thank you to all the staff including bus staff and prep staff.“
“The bad: Outdated dining area with dim lighting, and our waiter was extremely polite but had terrible body offer and it was extremely strong which isn't very pleasant while trying to eat dinner.The good: the drinks were very very strong and well made. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly with generous portions.“
“Friendly, welcoming staff, awesome food, and a great bar games selection. The beer is pretty good, too :)3rd visit - definitely recommend the food and beer! The Cuban sandwich is legit (not Miami legit, but this is Michigan) and their servers are happy to chat, ignore you (if that's your preference), and let you taste the beer before you buy, even if you're just weighing a 4-pack to take home.Definitely will visit again. And Again.“

“I personally love the fact that these guys pick up gigs at local hometown gatherings like the Wine festival in Paw Paw or the Fourth of July fireworks show. They have great elephant ears and cheese fries in my opinion. I just love that carnival nostalgia that whisks me back to my childhood. Been enjoying their food for over a decade at various events.“
“Best restaurant in the Kalamazoo area! Executive chef is amazingly talented, best food I've had in years. Beautiful atmosphere. Staff was attentive, experienced, and very professional. Cowboy steak was so tender and full of flavor, like we've never had before. Seafood was perfectly prepared and delicious. Salads, to die for. Highly recommend!“
“Came here with my fiance and some of her family for breakfast today. My fiance and I split a Royal Canadian and two chocolate chip pancakes. The food was honestly better than I thought, the Royal Canadian especially. The hollandaise sauce was good, and the eggs were cooked well too. At first glance it doesn't look like a lot, but it's pretty hardy. I would definitely come back ?“
“Ordered the 3 street tacos with chicken! OMG! They were outstanding and huge! I was only able to eat 1.5 tacos and brought the rest home for later! Great service, friendly employees and very clean establishment! Can’t wait to go again soon!“
“A very under recognized eatery in Portage. Small but cozy, tucked away in the plaza across from Wedel’s Garden center. A wonderful aroma greets you as enter. Delicious sandwiches, homemade ingredients, hearty portions, friendly staff. Worth a trip over from anywhere in the Kzoo/Portage area. Give them a try.“
“the customer service is amazing and the root beer floats but the chilli is appalling. it used to be kind of decent but I have no idea what happened to it now. if it was better they'd get even more business. almost everyone loved a good chilli dog. I know it's inexpensive but I'll pay a little bit more for better quality.“
“Food was fresh & absolutely amazing!! Definitely will give a rating of 10/10. I ordered farmers market bowl and my fiancé ordered a BLT we both enjoyed our food! Also to mention their cinnamon roll is so moist & soft real huge!! So good“
“We were on vacation from the east side of the state to see the air museum. I was in the mood for a Coney Island breakfast but they do not open until 11:00 a.m.. the parking lot was full as were all the tables except for a couple. We got right then. The menu was pretty extensive. After two cups of coffee I made my mind up. I'm not real big on undercooked hash browns and there's we're browned but I have to admit they have the best hash browns in the freaking world. Our breakfast was awesome and I highly recommend this place.“
“Food was good but a little bland. Build your own omelet was a bit pricey for eggs and cheese. No western omelet available. Good bacon. Wish the omelet came with American fries. A bit busy with a large group in the center of the restaurant, but it didn't effect the time of food.“
“We rode our motorcycles up to the area and decided to stop here for lunch. We were seated right away and the staff was very pleasant. Our server was very quiet but did great. We ordered burgers and fries. Everything was great except the cook of the meat. Now, I like my beef a bit pink, but the cook on my burger was almost blue in the center. The cook on hubbys burger was better. He ordered his burger medium well, and it came out at medium rare. The fries were hot, crispy and heavenly. I ate mostly around the edges of the burger but it was still awesome tasting even though it was so rare. The reason for not giving 5 stars was because, when I unrolled my silverware it was used and dirty. It had bits of lettuce on the fork and clearly everything had been used. I asked the server for a new set and I was good to know.“
“We were seated within 10 minutes even though it was busy. Brianna V was our waitress tonight. She was AMAZING!! The best I've had in years!!! All of the food was delicious! Thank you for making our dining experience so enjoyable!! BBQ burnt ends burgers, mozzarella twists, onion rings, freckled lemonade and a root beer float were our delicious meals.“
“I love this place, I used to eat here more often with my grandparents and recently ate here again and I will say it lives up to my memories, I highly recommend buttermilk pancakes it what I always get here, it comes with cinnamon butter (the best kind) and syrup, personally I think that the small stack is enough for someone who doesn't eat a huge amount but you can still stomach the large stack. oh yeah you can also get bacon or sausage with it, and at least with the bacon it was cooked really well.“
“The service and food is usually pretty on point at Lat42. I had an “off visit” at another location a while back. On a more recent visit, I visited the Portage location and had great service from Justin, like we usually have from Lat42. Toward the end, Sue was making her rounds as usual, and I shared our previous experience. She sat down, and showed how much she appreciated us sharing the experience, that she really cared and was sorry, and made things right without even being asked to. It’s great to always see familiar faces there, as that means they also treat the employees well. Sue always seems to make her rounds each time I’ve been there and shows how much she cares about the customers experience. I highly recommend.“
“The food was outstanding. My daughter and I had the fish dinner even though it was lunch time. At the time I didn't think about the meal being hot and fresh and tasty, because that's kind of what you expect when you go out. But the food was perfect, hot and fresh just like I expected it. The people who work there seem to go out of their way to help me. Maybe it's because I'm a disabled vet I don't know but everybody seems to go that extra little bit that makes the experience a pleasant one.Parking: Plenty of parking, it's right off the main Road from the highway although it is a bit away from the highway.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy level wheelchair accessibility. Doors are not automatic.“
“The atmosphere is great, excellent service with knowledgeable, friendly staff. Most important for me, there are gluten free options prepared in a dedicated space. As a person with a severe gluten allergy, dining out can be a challenge. Cove Lakeside Bistro made the experience delicious and a delight.“
“I've lived in Kalamazoo my whole life and had never been here. Not much of a bar person really, but my work has our Christmas party there. The food was amazing!!! I have not had onion rings that good in a while and the burger was just as good. Our server was amazing they should give her a raise. She was waiting on us as well as the regulars. Would definitely go back just for the food.“
“This was the first time I've been here and it was really nice. We had brunch with the adult kids and they really loved the build-your-own Bloody Mary bar. I really enjoyed the vegetarian biscuits and gravy. Great, pleasant, and attentive servers. If you haven't tried this gem in portage, then what are you waiting for?!?! Make a lunch date with an old friend.“
“Very welcoming environment upon entering.Fireplace burning and amazing view of the lake. Our server, Monica, went above and beyond and was so pleasant. We had the all you can eat fish, which is only during the winter on Wednesdays. All I can say is "wow!" The best deep fried fish we have ever had.My husband had the beef barley soup, lets just say I was wishing I had ordered the soup too. Beef was tender and the flavor was incredible. The owner of the restaurant introduced himself as well and was very welcoming and friendly. During the summer months the restaurant has an accessible dock for access from the lake. We will definitely be back, but next time with friends to share our new favorite find!“
“Waitress friendly and attentive. Turned the heat on in the room we were in. Explained why it took awhile to get our checks. Nice selection on menu. Prices reasonable. Would have liked to have a roll with my salad and a placemat under my salad bowl so I didn't have to put silverware on table.18 per cent gratuity seemed high since it was calculated including tax.“
“Came in and was blown away by the service. Lorrie went above and beyond to make sure that we enjoyed our meal. As first time customers she recognized that and was kind enough to bring out small individual samples of a few of their side options so we could try them and then confidently chose which ones we wanted with our meal which was amazing to see someone be so caring to new customers. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and everything was fantastic especially the service. Will definitely be returning based on the amazing service that Lorrie provided to us.“
“Just had the most delicious Mint Shake at Culver's! It was better than Mickey D's & Arby's! So thick and creamy! I also had the Cod Sandwich & Cheese Curds too!!! Yum! ALL FOR ONLY $14!I want to give a shout out for you who buy gift cards! I received one as a gift. I only had to pay $4! What a kind gesture “
“The chicken and waffles is a different spin on one of my all time favorites. The smoked wings are a lil pricey but sooooo gooooood. Bison burger very flavorful but dontbhave it cooked to much as it dries out. No pics because who has time for that with all the delicious food in front of you.“
“Ordered our office meeting lunch for delivery. Had the pleasure of the owner making our delivery. Sandwiches were awesome!!! He brought silverware, paper plates and plenty of napkins. We’ll definitely be ordering again. Thank you for the great food and service.“
“A large, clean & quiet room and a front desk staff that was friendly and helpful. The group we were meeting with reserved a block of rooms, so we had reasonable rates for our stay. We were disappointed the onsite restaurant was closed during the time we were there, which led to some inconvenience as we were traveling with a car trailer and didn't want to drive this through traffic just to get a quick something to eat (hooking & unhooking the thing is a pretty big job, too.) The hotel did have grab & go items in the little shop in the lobby, including breakfast options that could be heated in the microwave. We didn't do this, but saw several people getting things. However, the bar was opened in the evenings and we enjoyed the banter with the bartender, who had some entertaining stories. Great guy. Considering the challenges with COVID and recent uptick in recreational travel, I'm not going to worry about the small things we'd usually expect in a nice hotel of the Sheraton brand, but do need to mention the coffee situation was dismal. We had a couple options - the traditional large urn that seemed like it was made by someone who doesn't drink coffee and the Mars brand version of a k-cup machine in the lobby. The first was unpotable and the second would have been semi-ok if we had another option than powdered creamer. A small complaint perhaps to those who don't rely on the bean to start their day. But to me, this is serious business. Honestly, I'd pay another buck a day to have some half & half at the coffee station. One more reason for the 4-star rating is the shower curtain was stained on the bottom. If it was changed recently and is that water-stained, then it's time to replace it.“
“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“
“LOVE THIS PLACE! ? Healthy eating options, packed with flavor and served by friendly staff! I absolutely love visiting CoreLife. The food options are endless, I get to customize my order and they also have tons of unique drinks.The staff of always friendly and helpful. They have a nice outdoor eating area, under the pergola with string lights - such a cool place!I highly recommend trying their “Carrot Chili Vinaigrette”!“
“This visit was a very special visit for me to be with some of my family. My food I ordered was delicious!! Beef was so tender and great flavor. The fries, beef tips, and cheese together were amazing. Plus, we had very great service! You will be highly recommended to others. ?“
“Fantastic food, friendly and attentive staff, good prices, and a great menu with diverse selections. This is the best breakfast place around, with no exceptions. The staff is accommodating, the food is meticulously prepared and beautifully presented, and the selections keep you coming back. 10/5 stars!Parking: Easy in, easy out lot with two access points, very short walk to the door.Wheelchair accessibility: Nice, wide wheelchair access right at the front door, wide spacing and easy to navigate for those with physical challenges.“
“Great food. Everything was cooked to perfection. Serving sizes are not huge so you can eat a dessert. I thought the it was a little pricey but the quality of the food makes it well worth the cost. Had the lamb and it was great. Quite busy for a Wednesday but the staff was on top of everything.“
“Friendly staff, decent food, place was busy, they have their hands full! Oddly, the owner was not friendly, when your sitting down at the Cafe bar.and you're waiting for service and she walked up to me, I smiled and then she walked away? Good morning? Need a menu? Have you been waited on? Probably just worn out, just odd when she was chatting with everyone else. Strange. Good place for a quick breakfast, just not much love lol.“
“Food was great and the staff managed to maintain their composure as a lady screamed at them over a sandwich she claimed wasn’t what she wanted and refused to allow them to correct HER mistake. A++ to them for that. Hopefully even that late in life she can learn how to talk to people respectfully. Great job guys.“
“First spacious so a person with a scooter or walker can move around. I love the eclectic menu! I had a very outside the box, eggs Benedict and it was on a fried green tomato ! Soo good! Service is very quick and friendly. Wifi is available!“
“Great pub and restaurant. Many good pubs don't have good food options; or they aren't really 'pub-like' if you get what I mean. Main Street Pub is a great pub AND a great restaurant. The food is great, the atmosphere is nice and the servers are very friendly. They also have cute towers in the corners with round tables.“
“Beautiful views of the water and great fireplaces to sit near. There are some tables with very comfy arm chairs too. Food is delicious! If you like lots of flavors, you'll really be pleased. Service was pretty good, but could have been more attentive. It may have been a little understaffed while we were there.“
“My fav BBQ type is brisket, and theirs is very good. I prefer plain brisket and cornbread, so I ordered the brisket sandwich without the bread and added the cornbread. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich and cornbread, which was also good. When I picked up the cornbread, I was amazed by the weight! It's very heavy (good) and still moist and not as sweet (also good) as many are. Very nice BBQ for a chain. And the staff were very friendly.“
“Very good! The service at this restaurant was very attentive and kind. Our waitress was helpful and the manager checked to see how we were doing. I had the salmon ravioli which was fantastic! My husband had the meatloaf and he thought it was good. We also got the kids ravioli with veggies and it was the most food we’ve gotten with a kids meal before! Overall great experience!“
“Were here on a business trip and haven't had Bob Evans since we were kids.... came in on 3/4/2024 at 12pm.... the hostess who was working was awesome.... and Danielle is one of the best servers we have had in a long time! If you go, ask for her... entire staff was very sweet and made the whole experience great. If we're ever back in Michigan we will be back for sure.“
“Its an incredible breakfast spot we found in our neighborhood! It has become our ultimate go-to place for brunch, and let me tell you, the food and service there are beyond amazing! you absolutely have to try Liz's avocado toast - it's like pure heaven! I can't even express how much I adore it!“
“it's a review with a beat, Louie's Bar can't be beat, that's the feat. Hit the spot with my crew last night, Wife and friend, the feeling's just right.Food's a banger, a culinary rhyme, Every course a masterpiece, one of a kind. Conversation smooth like a summer breeze, Good times rollin', feelin' at ease.More than a bar, it's a welcoming scene, A place to chill, relax, what it means. So next time you're out, lookin' for fun and some flair, Louie's Bar's the place, the perfect place to share“
“Still a great standby for Midwest seafood. Sat at the bar, had a good, friendly, bartender and had a chat with fellow patron. Watched a petite woman order a whole lobster out of the tank! I wish they would update this tired restaurant but doesn't keep me from going back. Love the biscuits ? as usual, and the Pick 2 (or 3) options.Parking: With their generous size overhang, you can pull-up out of the weather to drop off your date, or assist handicap passengers.Wheelchair accessibility: Good handicap access.“
“We eat here quite often and love having a restaurant/bar in town again. The food is always good, and reasonably priced. I love the grilled chicken salad, and the reuben sandwich. I also appreciate that they'll do a grilled cheese for my toddler since he usually eats four bites.“
