I must start by saying that Falyn single-handedly made the visit I just had pleasant for my family. The food was great. Kitchen's speed was good for how slammed they were. I cannot say enough about how Fayln stepped in and, not once but twice, being the champion of the restaurant and making the evening one that ended well. Thank you! read more

I personally enjoyed the previous menu better than the current options but Burdicks was also a staple in my college years so I may be biased. Not pictured but very much enjoyed was the Onion Dip & Chips as an appetizer. The service was average, not anything that exceeded my expectations but it was busy so I don't hold that against the waitress. The overall experience was way better than it used to be. I loved the duckpin bowling and it's a great add on for bigger groups! read more

I prefer the old space. That said, if you want to be blinded by tv screens in every direction you look then this is the place for you! We were a large party on a Saturday night, so our drink service was a bit slow though I think staff were doing their best to keep us all in order and served. It was a pretty busy place. We didn't eat there, so I have no comment on the food. read more

Cool atmosphere to watch a few World Cup games while in town. They were really busy and seemed to struggle a bit in getting people seated. But once we had a table the server was very attentive. Food was pretty average but was OK for bar food. We had a cheese pizza and it is huge!! We also has chicken tenders which were OK also. read more

After the newly renovated Burdicks opened its doors last week, we were able to step in and check it out! Aesthetically, we loved the open concept design, larger bar with additional seating and where they moved it was definitely a need! Bowling to the right with 2 additional private rooms for intimate gatherings! We were able to get in right away however service took a bit to get to us, but holding no fault there this time! The pull apart cheese bread was divine and just the right temp to get the perfect taste! Entrees were the Mushroom Smash burger and the Western Smash burger! While both burgers were tasty, the mushrooms could have been a bit more flavorful or maybe even a little more caramelized! The pickled jalapeños were non existent to my flavor palette, just wished there was more! A must add would be some type of Spicy Chicken sandwich, I'm always looking for some good mouth watering heat! In the finish, our server was non existent and took some type to check out! She may have been stretched a bit in other sections! Just not sure. ‍ read more

The name is still....regrettable. However today's experience elevates this place to a 5 star review. JC, I think his name is, was loitering at the host stand, which is nowhere near the front door, but when I said our group of of 7 needed access for my brother in law who insists he is not disabled but has rather severe rheumatoid arthritis and I know this is a run on sentence, the waiter JC didn't need me to elaborate he got an assistant and set up an accessible group table with plenty of maneuvering room. Didn't make a production of it, he was subtle, efficient, and respectful. I'm not a big fan of the new open space esthetically but the great view of the two bowl games on the big screens made me a convert. The Caesar's side salad was good, the Sriracha dry rub wings were excellent. JC did interrupt the joke I was telling to bring something but the rest of our party found this to be further good service. He didn't ma'am our two middle aged ladies instead generously calling them, miss. He was prompt, respectful, so I'll easily forgive the annoying "have a nice rest of your day," instead of "thank you" or "good afternoon." I don't like the continued wasteful use of plastic, but I do like the addition of Coke Zero to the beverage choices. All my details are superfluous, the five stars are for being the waiter knowing how to make lunch accessible for my brother in law who doesn't think he has a disability. read more

Burdick's Bar & Grill - Staff immediately knew how to take care of us with an accessibilty issue. - American Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Old Burdick's Bar & Grill had it going on! They are a sports bar with ton of offerings located adjacent to the Radisson Hotel. Here since 1991! The menu has something on it for everyone! Menu - Shareables, Wings, Entrees, Handcrafted Burgers, Handhelds, South of the Border, Sides, Salads, Soups and Desserts Did I say Shareables? And oh did we share! We were almost running out of room at our large table for the platters. We ordered wings, fried pickles, tater tots, fries, chips and dip....Everything was delicious! The service was excellent with team work in action! They were winning me over with a Michigan State University flag keenly placed directly across from me. Go green! Go white! read more

How do you mess up a burger and fries at a place like this? The burger was tasteless and slightly cold in the center. I shouldn't have eaten it but I was really hungry after a day of travel. The garlic parm fries were hot but tasted like they had been fried in old oil. I took one bite of the dessert and asked for the check. Then I woke up early the next day with a stomach ache. If you're staying at the Radisson, skip this place. read more

There was no one in the restaurant. It took him 10 minutes to see us. That's with four people, staring at the computer when we wanted to order the waitress told us she had to take care of another table and then Would come back in a little bit. We needed a highchair, but they kept forgetting to bring us one. Had to go get it ourselves. Service was lackluster. Pizza came out cold food was 2 1/2 on a scale of five beautiful interior of the restaurant but the rest of it was pretty disappointing and that's not a Monday night when they're not even busy. read more

Very underwhelming experience. It was a Saturday night, it was busy and the food was very mediocre. For the price, I was expecting things to be better than average. This was not what we received. I confirmed that Chicken tenders were housemade, I was told they were, and if this was true, they were the worst housemade tenders I've ever had. The fries were sold as Garlic-parmesan fries and were average at best, didn't even care to finish them they were so underwhelming. So while visually and aesthetically this place has improved, the food quality has actually gone done, while the prices have increased quite a bit. Will most likely give this place another try when convenient, but in no rush to be dissatisfied. read more

Sports Bar?!?? Ridiculous experience. Made reservation. On open table to watch NCAA tournament and was given a table that both seats couldn't see tv an then gone the option where only one peak could view one tv. If you want to watch games, GO ANY WHERE BUT THIIS POS Sports Bar. Then the manager didn't have the courage to speak with me read more

Pros: good food & great waiter Cons: steep prices & very loud even when in the dining room (away from the bar) I ordered the chicken ranch salad. $17 for a salad was a bit expensive, and the portion was not commensurate with that price tag. One egg and a split breast. I wasn't terribly hungry so I was somewhat satisfied with the portion, but I was still disappointed for the price and didn't leave "full". The flavors were amazing though -fresh greens and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. There are very loud tvs in the dining room as well as the bar, so that was a little offputting when trying to have a conversation. read more

Mediocre food and drinks. Don't expect great food. Steak wayyyy over salted. Nachos definitely on the warmer for 30 minutes. Low quality cocktails that are too sweet and too sour at the same time?? I wish they had more "simple" options but they over complicate the menu and under perform. server doesn't show up other than to take orders. read more

Definitely not my first time at Burdick's, but sadly, my last. I struggle to anything positive to say about any of my visits here since the remodel. Ridiculously large, bright, seizure-inducing screens that relentlessly flash in your face. I could tolerate it if there was something interesting on them, but 2 screens with different sports talk (3 talking heads on mute) and the third a golf channel that I swear was nothing but boner pill commercials. I have to shield my eyes from these screens that the staff apparently have zero control over. I asked. But enough of the oppressive, uncomfortable atmosphere, let's get to why I'm really here - the food. Really in the mood for pizza? Hope you have room for a 20" NY style because that the only option. The wings are pretty decent, but not worth the price. How about something simple like potato skins? Do you like them bone dry and completely lacking in any flavor or even saltiness? Yes, they are topped with cheese and bacon but I still needed salt to make them taste like anything. I was offered a box for my leftovers which I declined but it would have been tastier I'm sure. So cool, it's a sports bar - great place for a cold beer, right? Well, with like 30 tap handles there's surely something to enjoy. Yup - if you want to choose between 23 light lagers, a couple of ciders, an old keg of brown ale and maybe 1 wheat beer - from Sam Adams. There are more actual choices at an airport bar. They have menus - if you ask. One out of the last 5 visits I've been given a napkin and utensils before my food arrives. I could go on but I already kinda have. Please support your local establishments but know when to cut bait on the ones that can't deliver a quality experience. read more

Friendly enough staff, went for a hockey watch party and service wasnt great. The appetizer was good ( just an onion dip ) I tried 3 of the cocktails on the menu, 2 of which I thought were pretty good. But the main course. Yikes. First time here since renovation and I was on fence because they've gone more upscale, as have prices. The pizza is like $30! Which its a big pizza but slices are huge, hard to eat but my issue wasnt that. It was the fact that CANNED mushrooms are nasty and I cant believe an upscale place with these prices uses them. Immediately turned off by this. Then the pizza is so floppy, you cant even get it into your mouth without folding it. Highly disappointed for my first time going back. The screens for the hockey game weren't working half the time, needless to say I probably wont be going back for watch parties anymore. read more

Came to Old Burdick's for a quick lunch. We sat on the patio and was greet by our server, Dustin. He was a very nice gentleman and gave us just the right amount of service. My husband ordered the tuna bowl and I ordered the shrimp tacos with a corn tortillas shell. Both with we really good meals! We were informed that the fish tacos were greasy... Price is fair. For a 10oz blue moon, both our meals, it was $43. read more

I don't know what to say. There can't be a legitimate chef in charge of the food that comes out of that kitchen. Wait...the wings were very good. The staff is friendly, efficient and very well trained. read more

Stopped by the newly remodeled location and the looks of the new place is impressive. However, that's the extent of anything positive in this review. $100 for two sandwiches, a beer and cocktail and a basket of potato chips and dip is robbery. The menu is fairly small with your only real options being pizza or sandwiches. Very little offerings that are an actual entree. I can get a lot more and a lot better for my $100. Looks like Burdick's has gone all in on the tourist/hotel guest demographic. read more

They charge $28 for FARM RAISED salmon Thats almost as insulting as the $14 pint of M-43. Don't mind paying for good food but these markups are a slap in the face. Was stoked to try out the new spot. Largely disappointing. read more

Classy sports bar, with great food! I will miss it as it will soon be closed do to renovations.

Used to be a favorite. Slowww service and cold food...and this was on a slow day. Sad. Wish we could have enjoyed the updated spot!

Everything was amazing. The drinks, nachos, and egg rolls were super delicious . It's been around for a while in kzoo, old time favorite read more

Had a great meal with our kids. Good food options. Our server, Ashley S., was so kind and patient with our child who was pretty grumpy at the start of the meal. She gave him individual attention and helped him settle down and enjoy his meal. We're grateful for that. Will return. read more

Food was really good. Service was excellent! Our waitress, Ashley S was outstanding!! We had a large party and she was on point with everything. She made us feel like we were her top priority! Thanks Ashley! read more

While in K'Zoo for a conference, stopped in here lunch and dinner. It was actually pretty fantastic. I had a steakhouse burger here with tots that would rank among the best. Perfect medium rare, perfect bun, crispy bacon, and some lovely crunchy onion strings with steak sauce. The tots were crispy out, pillows in. And then I had the Cherry Salmon Salad for lunch the following day. Dude. Whatever they put on candied freaking walnuts... its a taste bud dance festival. Superb lunch. It's kind of weird, really busy, but man do they serve some tasty food. read more

Started out strong but in typical Burdicks fashion it went downhill quickly. Food is always either cold, or a portion of the parties are left waiting. The kitchen ran out of the only vegetarian dish they were offering for restaurant week and didn't tell us until 30 minutes after ordering. No waters, had to ask 4 separate times to fix the check after explaining it several times preemptively and then just ended up paying for 6 on one tab. Just never satisfied for the cost and service you get. A letdown on a place that used to have really good ambience. Won't return read more

Finally ventured to go to outdoor seating. Appreciated that the staff were all wearing masks. When they brought food out they were wearing gloves as well. The fried pickles were delicious! The crunch was perfect and the sauce to accompany it was the right amount of spice. The shrimp tacos were much better in our opinion than the beef tacos. The beef was kinda flavorless and when we added the salsa it just took on that flavor. The shrimp tacos were delicious with a maybe chipotle sauce? read more

Service. Waiter was inattentive. Nachos had mystery meat "chicken" - you could tell they did not grill and season the chicken here- that it was pre-packaged , marinated and cheap. The cheese was microwaved and gross. Way too much lettuce and diced tomatoes- very unbalanced. Salmon smelled so "fishy". I took a bite and it was way over salted. Do not recommend read more

Early dinner with my daughter and grands was so nice! Food and service were great! We've been here before and will definitely be back.

Updating my long standing review because they told me in july of 2024 that i would have to pay a $3 surcharge because of covid in order to get takeout. They even have a paper at the hostess stand that says the fee is because of the pandemic of 2020. They are literally charging extra money if you eat your food at home. They made me sit at a table and eat in the restaurant to not pay the fee. Been eating here a very long time and i am done now. This was the last time read more

Saturday, June 8 The hostess wasn't very welcoming? I've had a better salad at Culver's. I've eaten at old burdicks many times over the years as a life long Kalamazoo resident in the past. The blackened grilled chicken on my salad was processed but the chicken was red like it was soaked in paprika sprinkled with canned cold black beans and corn over the top, lemonade had a musty old taste, we were given 5$ off the tab. I expected much better being that this is an ideal location in the Radisson downtown! I do have a picture but I'm not seeing how to upload? The outdoor table rocked which is annoying. Im telling my grandson about our late afternoon lunch and he said 'Grandmother I stopped going to Burdicks a long time ago!' read more

I like visiting this place whenever I want to watch an sports game with friends. They have good beer options as well as mixed drinks, and also good appetizers to have along with your drinks. One of my favorites are the truffle fries, which come with parmesan cheese and truffle oil... simply delicious. Depending on your server, some times it takes a while to get a refill, but most of the time are on top of you. Place can get crowded depending on who is playing... this last time we were watching Wolverines vs ND and place was packed. We were in the middle of the place and from any seat you could actually watch the game, as they have TV sets all around this place... Only problem is it is around 20 min from where I live, but when you want to enjoy a game with some crowd, certainly a good pick for it! read more

I ordered dinner from here tonight I'm new in town and went bye but the yelp page said on how good it is, I order broccoli chicken Alfredo , I go and pick it up I was early so I had to wait for a couple minutes no big deal. I stay in the apartment building right across the street literally a two minute walk to my apartment I open up the food and I see microwaved cheese over the pasta and broccoli. It looks terrible and taste even worse the pasta is so rubber and hard that you can't even eat some of it. I don't mind paying for good food and they even added an 18% gratuity don't mind that either but when the food looks like this and taste that bad that's the problem.

We've been to Burdick's many times over the years. 15 years ago the menu left much to be desired. About 6 or 7 years ago we were impressed with the menu update and put the bar/grille back into our rotation. This week we brought our kids back for a celebration dinner. The food was good, no one had any complaints about that. The menu, however, has clearly been simplified (which I get) and reduced to inexpensive ingredient options (again, fine). So why did we end up with a $150 bill for 2 burgers, 2 kids meals, a burrito bowl, beef tacos and an appetizer? Of course, I ask this a bit tongue-in-cheek. It's usually the add-ons that add-up and I should know better. I had a glass of wine, husband had a beer and the kids all got soda. That was probably $40 right there. Look, the food was tasty and I appreciate that. The Here's my break down: -South west egg rolls were well prepared and reasonably flavorful with a standard but tasty southwest ranch. 7/10 -Beef tacos were OK- good, not great. The chips were cold and dry- thinkI've had better from the grocery store. Interestingly, I ordered the sour cream and guacamole, which actually overwhelmed whatever flavor was there. Definite waste of $$. If you want to try and if the south west items, consider swapping for a whole different side. read more

Wow, old burdick's! It's such a shame that your service has gone down to the bottom. We went in for dinner during restaurant week and the server was rude from the beginning. I am pretty sure she's racist because she was cHeerful talking to the other tables next to us.. and I realized why... Not only she's racist and rude, she got so much attitude taking our orders and bringing food as well. If you don't want people other than white Americans coming in your restaurant, then that's your problem. It's a big restaurant and people of any race and color are gonna come in. When we asked her to see if we can switch sth out because we can't eat, she said- well, I don't know and rolled her eyes and said she will ask the kitchen! So disrespectful! Never did she come to our table and ask how the food was or refill our water. I'm very disappointed in this service. Racism is free even without paying so I would not be spending money to be treated this way at this establishment. read more

Yesterday, i went with friends for the restaurant week menu. The server was grumpy the moment we arrived. The service was very poor! And we had unpleasant experience. We reserved our table at 4 pm and the place wasn't crowded, almost empty. We did not feel comfortable. We ordered mango lemonade, chicken cone (with mild sauce instead of hot sauce), waffle burger (cut in half with no bacon), beef sandwich (cut in half with no jalapeños) and fries with no seasoning. We had our food come and go back for 4 times. My husband cant eat hot and spicy food so all our orders were requested with no spicy additions, but We received chicken cone with spicy sauce. We thought it might be the chicken but it wasn't. When other orders arrived at our table, 1st the beef sandwich came full with jalapeños, the fries was fully seasoned and non of the sandwiches were cut in half. We asked her politely to take it back and replace the Frise, when the plate came again it was messy and the dipping was spilled out as if it has fallen down and there was jalapeños inside the sandwich. We asked her to remake the sandwich bcz it is dangerous for my husband to eat spicy food. She was more grumpy than befor and started to put the water and juice glasses on nervous way. Then the Manger came back with our dishes. We we requested our bills, it was thrown at the table instead of handing it to my husband. I will not come back again and wast my money although it was one of my favorite restaurant because I did not liked how I was treated in this restaurant!! Non smiling faces, grumpy attitude, disrespectful behavior, and finally throwing the bills instead of handing it. racist pattern! and a racist behavior will not be tolerated! read more

We came here many times ago, and we had pleasant food with pleasant service. But sadly, not this time ! We came at 4 PM and the place was empty and not crowded at all. The food was delicious and good. But the waitress was horrible ! She didn't bring us the food correctly, there were many mistakes in our orders. And we told her to make sure our food is not spicy, because I have a condition and can't eat spicy food. But still, she brought almost everything spicy ! I guess the waitress is racist because I saw her doing ok with the other tables, but not ours ! I loved this place so much, but after this .. I don't I'm considering coming here again ! read more
