The birria tacos are out of this world—tender, savory, and absolutely satisfying. The mangonada is a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy. They have a huge selection of ice cream and other delicious desserts! I tried their ice cream—coconut and Oreo and both creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor. With a wide variety of unique treats, this place nails every dish. Highly recommend!”

So we went there and found his new favorite place to eat in the world! They had fresh cut fries which he raved about! Mimi, these are so good, way better than Mc Donald's! And those were his favorite fries , lol. He also got 1/4 BBQ chicken with spicy sauce, baked beans and garlic toast. I tried their Italian beef with peppers and onions. There was more food than we could eat and it was all delicious. The owner was very nice, helpful and personable but not intrusive at all. We required a to go container for my grandsons leftovers so he now had a full lunch for tomorrow as well. Food was very fresh and well made with large portions and the restaurant was clean and full of sports memorabilia. It's a delightful change from chain places and I highly recommend it.”

“I don’t like doing one stars anymore. If someone has that bad of a opinion nobody forced you to go here . A lot of people crying over prices. Again nobody made you buy here . But on the other hand everything I ate wasn’t very fresh. To eat the French toast you need a cup of water to dip it in . Way to hard . I got hash here and was like rocks . The slushes are the best . But nice little snack area. Only thing two employees was talking and I walked up stood there for 30 seconds and they still didn’t say anything. So I said excuse me . Still nothing. So I walked away . They then tried to help me and I said nvm pay attention to your customers. With all this I still give a 5 star. Because it helps a manager talk to these people to fix the issues. If you complain about the price and give a one star , just seems crazy . Also with COVID I think they should clean the tables. Couldn’t find one clean table and they just stood there for most part”

I stop at this truck stop regularly, and I do believe being served the burger this way was an honest mistake.

After talking to Jeff, a new manager, he corrected the mistake and made me a new meal. He seemed very concerned and even stated that he is keeping a closer eye on the grill.

His eye contact and professionalism convinced me of his genuine effort.

Thank you, Jeff. I appreciate people like you, and I hope you keep training this standard with all of your employees.

I also appreciate the handshake.”

Wally's Subs 6477 Stadium Dr, Kalamazoo Sandwich Shop • $

“First time stopping in tonight, but it has been highly recommended so I thought Id give it a try. I love the quaint feel of it. The customer service was great. Lots of options and ways to customize and build your own sub how you like it. My son and I got the classica Italian sub, I added banana pepper and he added olives. The price was $26 for 2 9inch subs that were packed and I mean packed full of fresh ingredients (side note the pickles that came on the sub reminded me of pickles my grandma used to make, very nostalgic feeling). The bread is soft, the Italian dressing was flavorful, all the veggies were crisp and fresh and the meat was wonderful. So this is definitely going to be my go to sub shop especially since I oay the same price at the other cookie cutter sub shops around town. Not even a negative imo because I'm not a warm sub person, but they don't have a way to toast a sub but are willing to warm it up in the microwave if you want, but it was recommended when we got hone and wanted a warm sub an air fryer is the way to go. I will say if you are in a wheel chair or have some other mobility issue it may be a bit of a tight squeeze to get in however it was raining and dark so there may have been another entrance available. Highly recommend and I 100% will be back I have so many flavor combinations to try ?”

“I was so excited to find your menu online. I am always in the neighborhood and craving sushi, however I can’t eat anything with shellfish and I don’t eat anything rawr. So that makes things limited for me, however I found they had my favorite roll the Diablo roll! I was thrilled, went and picked it up and it was beautiful, it was so delicious. The service was great! 10/10 would recommend coming here for lunch or dinner! Will be back soon!”

“I have been a member of Juicy Leaf for a few months now, so when I decided to host my first yoga retreat in August of 2022 I jumped at the chance to include them. Toyo was extremely thoughtful and helpful when communicating with me on what would work best for my retreat. She worked with me on quantity and variety of juices for my guest and provided cute containers for each juice. She above and beyond in helping my store the containers until I could pick them up the day before I left for my retreat. If you are ever in Kalamazoo, try to get one of their juices. If you live in Kalamazoo and haven’t taken the plunge to try one, you’re missing out!”

“My 9yo grandson wanted to try a new place to eat lunch today so he Googled restaurants nearby his home and thought this sounded good. So we went there and found his new favorite place to eat in the world! They had fresh cut fries which he raved about! Mimi, these are so good, way better than Mc Donald's! And those were his favorite fries , lol. He also got 1/4 BBQ chicken with spicy sauce, baked beans and garlic toast. I tried their Italian beef with peppers and onions. There was more food than we could eat and it was all delicious. The owner was very nice, helpful and personable but not intrusive at all. We required a to go container for my grandsons leftovers so he now had a full lunch for tomorrow as well. Food was very fresh and well made with large portions and the restaurant was clean and full of sports memorabilia. It's a delightful change from chain places and I highly recommend it.”
