Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Kalamazoo, MI

Angie Nina’s is my favorite place to get breakfast. I either order it ahead or on doordash and have it delivered. Everytime they always get my order right. It’s always warm and good. Joel’s favorite is my favorite thing to order. They have really good omelettes and biscuits and gravy. My absolute favorite breakfast spot. I can’t rate the atmosphere because I never dine in. But I will tell you that when I go to pick up my order, that it seems that it’s a place where regulars love to go. Everyone usually seems upbeat and happy there. So, if you haven’t ever gone to Nina’s or at least ordered food from Nina’s, you should do yourself a favor and try it.

Sarah Brennan-Hufford Fantastic food and service! Everything we get is delicious here. The steak was extremely tender and cooked perfectly, the chicken and mashed potatoes are some of the best we’ve ever had. I tried mussels for the first time and I have a feeling the bar was set very high.

Elexus Hill the overall experience was good. waitress and rest of staff was really nice. the booths are not fit for someone big or with a big stomach lol so I asked to move and it was not an issue at all. food was great and it did remind me of a place back home but way better. loved they made my bacon crispy and I didnt even ask. would recommend this place to people who want a quick brunch spot in town and out of towners as well. was not busy for sunday neither! very affordable prices

Shawn Burtnick Our party of five had tacos, waffles with chicken and a chicken burger. I had the Rodeo Burger. The food was fantastic. The teenagers loved playing in the games area. Our server, Bella, was great. We will be sure to visit the Backyard of Kalamazoo the next time we visit from Canada.

Jan Gibes Love the big themed tabletops-each one different. Huge full-service bar. Attentive staff. Zander perch, good burgers lots of appetizers to choose from. Pool table, basketball hoop available.

Asher Robertson I had business at the bank they share a building with and hadnt been planning on getting anything to eat at the time. But as soon as you open the buildings front door, the amazing deliciousness grabs you by the nose and pulls you in. I couldnt resist and decided on a chicken schwarma wrap since I was out on my scooter and in a bit of a rush. I was greeted by a friendly young lady behind the counter as soon as I walked in, and ordering was super quick and easy. The wait wasnt long at all, but even if it had been, it would have been worth it. The wrap was absolutely delicious and Ill definitely be back to try out everything else, one at a time.

J N My husband and I have been to BOLD countless times and their food is always delicious. The food and service is always consistent, we have never been disappointed. The drinks are STRONG just the way we like them. The lamb chops are our favorite dish, they have never had a gamey taste and are always cooked well. We have tried many dishes and the items are always seasoned very well. My favorite dessert is crème brûlée and theirs is one of the top ones I have had. I have influenced many people to go here and they also love the food.

Robert Belous Great atmosphere- the cosmic fries are 10/10. Amazing beer selection and great food! If you leave hungry there’s an issue and seek medical help!

A.M. Knil The atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing, the food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and there was a live singer that really set the vibe for the night. What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was our server, Marie. She mentioned it was only her second time serving there, but you would never know it. She was warm, engaging, and an absolute pro. Her drink recommendations were spot on, and her energy made the whole experience even better. Outstanding service all around. Highly recommend!

Rosie Hutchison What a treat! Enjoy a sweet or savory waffle with your favorite espresso drink. Don’t forget to start your punchcard! I enjoyed my savory egg white waffle with my dirty-nut chai. It was almost too sweet so if ever I go back, I will ask for less sweet. The other visit I had an Americano and it was great.

Ancella Briggs Celebrated our Mom 80th birthday here and all of us are impressed with the food and the service that they gave us. The wait staff and the host are super friendly and very accommodating from the beginning until the end of the event. We definitely recommend this place and will come back for any function in the future or just dining. Thank you for making our Moms birthday memorable!

NATURALLY DAY’S EYE I was very impressed with the atmosphere and then more impressed with the service and food. Food 5, Atmosphere 5, service 5 I couldn’t decide what I wanted so I ordered a combination entree of chicken and fish., a veggie platter with a peach waffle. I was definitely partaking in BIG Back behavior. lol The fish was fried extremely hard. I purchased the veggie platter, which included gumbo greens (no shrimp). This establishment has done really well with their soul food menu! Texture, seasoning and appearance are all 5 and yum

Athira Fantastic experience! The food was authentically prepared and full of flavor. The Beef Rendang, fried rice, and Mee Goreng Seafood were all exceptional. Highly recommend!

Lukas J Steel Place is very easy going, the burgers were as gen z say, bussin, the Mac and cheese was delicious "ladhidh"! Also definitely try the Dubai desserts, we got the truffles, very brownie cake pop, I could see myself eating an entire bag. Also the, I may be biased, beautiful operator who took our order, so kind, very welcoming, would return just to have a good conversation. Definitely recommend.

Ryan Loucks Irish pub downstairs…something different upstairs, but that part was closed when we came…didn’t matter! Food seemed the same at either place. Bar look like a European import. Had a great time.
