Welcome to our blog where we review the many fine Kalamazoo restaurants and eateries from nearby cities. We are Jeff and Aimee and we love trying different kinds of food.
We bring a bit of a different taste as we both love ethnic foods, and Aimee is a vegetarian. Jeff has lived in Kalamazoo since 1994 and Aimee since 2001 and in that time we have tried many different Kalamazoo restaurants, however, there are still many that we have not yet tried and we can’t wait to experience them and share our experience with you.
While we will be trying new places to eat, we still do have our favorites and we would like to share how we like new items on the menu’s of these restaurants.
We hope that you enjoy this blog. Don’t hesitate to leave us a comment sharing your experiences and if you know of a Kalamazoo area restaurant that we have not yet tried, be sure to let us know.
All the best,
Jeff and Aimee.

I don’t know if you’re coffee drinkers, but if you are, you should come check out our new coffee joint, Global Coffee, located inside the Point on 10th street. We’d love to serve you. We’re offering free, fresh brewed coffee from 7-9am, Monday-Friday for the rest of the month.

I find your reviews spot on. I recently moved here from Scottsdale/Phoenix and been searching for unique places to eat. I have already covered most of the places listed. Can you please help me a find a good Gyro, Zooroona is good but not great, so far Pop’s is at the top of my list (big and messy). Thanks for all the research and please keep them coming.

Hi David,
Hi David,
Thanks for stopping by kalamazoo-restaurants.com recently. To answer your question about a good gyro, my favorite one in town is the Coney Island at West Main and Drake. It is not great, but it is pretty darn good and they have a very good tzatziki sauce.
The gyro’s at D’nicio’s was average. I’ve never been to Pop’s, I’ll have to try it. Thanks for stopping by!

A new restaurant LUCA | Ristorante Italiano has opened it’s doors a week ago in Plainwell. It evolved from the 747 neighborhood Bistro and is operated under direction of Executive Chef Luca Carena. The owners are the same. LUCA is the only truely Authentic Italian restaurant in Southwestern Michigan, uses seasonal Local Michigan produce and highest quality imported ingredients from Italy. You should check it out. The food is really worth it.

Jeff and Amiee,
If you think Longbranch was good…you really need to stop by the Village Hide-A-Way in Vicksburg. From the outside just seems like a local small town bar/saloon…but they have the best food in Vicksburg…and the best staff and drinks in Kalamazoo County!! The perch fish special is the best you’ll get around!! It’s such a wonderful group of people!! You should definetly check it out!!
