The service was pleasant and the cashier helped lead us with some good options. What I did not like was the food quality, I'm not sure if in the recent months they have been shorthanded or had a staff turnover but we got some soggy fries, little to no sauce burgers and just not an amazing meal all around. This place has a lot of potential and I hope we caught them on an off night.

Restaurant Name: The Old goat tavern…read more Dish: pickle chips, BELT, The forty eighty Date Visited:3/15/26 First Impressions: The atmosphere is wonderful it has pick your seat seating a very lovely bar where you can see them make your food multiple TVs to watch the games and a front and back entrance. It's a pretty peaceful college bar next to a really nice coffee shop. Presentation - 10/10 Taste & Flavor - 10/10 When getting food here you can get a good variety of spicy and savory especially when it comes to their burgers their drinks are made with much care. Nothing is too overpowering Portion Size - 10/10 I have a very small stomach so things tend to fill me up regardless however my husband is an endless pit and the burger seemed to fill him up for the time being. Value for your money? I would say you get a good value and a full meal for the price you're going to pay You get good service especially on a Sunday when there's only a very few people in there and you're just trying to relax. ‍ Service - 10/10 The service in overall 10 out of 10 The bartender was extremely friendly kept a decent conversation going & greeted us when we entered, most of the staff is college students so you know they're working hard when it comes to both school and being servers. Overall Rating: 10/10 Final Verdict: The Old goat tavern is by far place I would return to especially for a quick bite and something that's going to kill me up for a cheap price. It's good for a night out on the town or just drinks with friends they have a wide variety of drinks and drafts and a good burger. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven't already they live up to the hype.

My burger has layers of cheese and meat and sauce. Mouth full of goodness. Also my "back forty" burger is only $13. Pretty good deal in 2024. Sides are extra though Sides are not so much, just taste like they are from the freezer and straight into the fryer. Burger is the main character anyway. Drinks are weak, you can probably down a couple mix drinks and still blow below limit. With that being said, this is still a better place to eat and watch a game than BWW.

He was pleased with the variety of menu items but no milk alternatives to have with coffee. He enjoyed vegan chorizo breakfast burrito and ate every bite. I had a sandwich with Ope burger, great veggies, pineapple, melted cheese and spicy Serrano sauce. Delicious and filling. Had tomato soup with it which was thick and full of tomatoes and onion but was only lukewarm. My partner had club sandwich and delicious onion rings. He couldn't finish his sandwich so had great leftovers. Setting was pleasant and clean. Ample parking. Great coffee. Friendly capable service from Delaney and her coworker. Would definitely come again when in the area.

Nestled in downtown Kalamazoo, Brick and Brine specializes in cocktails and steaks, but they also offer a variety of menu options to fit all tastes.

We hosted 10 people in their main dining room, and it was the perfect ambiance. Their dinner rolls are complimentary, super fluffy and come with a side of black salted butter. We also started with the house salad, and I split two specials - a potatoes au gratin dish along with a dish called Jafar's Chicken. Both were incredible.
