    My husband and I decided to try this diner on our weekly Sunday tea trip and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere in this place is highly enjoyable the artwork on the walls is incredible and very well taken and painted, they also do competitions for kids when it comes to coloring contests. The menu is very diverse there's plenty of vegan and gluten-free options they even had an Octoberfest menu inspired by many German/Bavarian delights. My husband and I tried the goulash and the potato pancakes from the Octoberfest menu his goulash was incredible, I didn't care for mine much but that's because it's something new that I've never tried and they were kind enough to take it back and offer to make me something else which I didn't do. We also have the garlic fry bowl which was delightful Full City Cafe has a very friendly and polite staff that is very on point when it comes to serving. I will definitely be coming back again to try something else on the menu like the chorizo burrito. All of the food is houdemade and well-plated so if you're looking for a good experience in a Kalamazoo area this one is a very good option.

    Latke Benedict
    Donna G.

    This is our new favorite breakfast place! Very unassuming from the outside, simple decor inside. But the food!!! Outstanding!!! The Miyako Bowl is a little bit of heaven in a bowl. Full of flavor and it's so unique. The Latke Benedict is a triumph! The best Benedict I've ever eaten anywhere. Terrific omelets and I've had the quiche twice which was rich and creamy and wonderful. Coffee selection is great, staff is warm and wonderful! We had the pleasure of chatting with Andy, the owner and he's down to earth and extremely pleasant. Full City is a hometown gem with upscale food done with precision and love

    Quiche and Skillet Fries

    Best fresh quiche in town. Awesome service & warm welcome from Shelley! There are places to work on your laptop and not feel like a bother too.

    Southern Chicken & Breakfast Burrito
    Homer M.

    What an Amazing café! It's well kept and clean with delicious feature on the menu. My son had a breakfast burrito and hot black tea. I had the Southern Chicken that was moist and full of flavor!! After the first bite, I knew I was going to enjoy this experience. Skip the drive thru, now for the best Southern Chicken you will ever taste. Don't overlook this plaza café. Jenn is spot on with her recommendations and service. This was our first visit and we will be glad to return!

    Latke benedict special.
    Katherine H.

    The food is always excellent and has been since this long-time Portage breakfast and lunch place came into being. Just thought it was time to return and compliment the latke benedict special that was crispy crispy crispy and delicious, and the las cruces bowl. Servers are well-trained and fantastic.

    Mushroom Veggie Melt with side salad
    Becky H.

    Every time I come here (which really isn't often enough) I'm fully or almost completely happy with my meal. Going in this time I had the intent on getting a salad but my eyes fell on the portabella mushroom veggie melt. I am not a vegetarian but seeing portabella entrees usually sparks my interest. The sandwich came out and the portabella was thick and juicy, the fontina cheese was the right amount of melted, and the arugula was a plenty! I opted for a side salad with their garlic lemon vinaigrette and that was amazing as well next to the veggie melt. I ate just about every last bite! The staff is always friendly and anyone walking by will help you out. One side of the restaurant has a pastry counter and coffee bar so you can go in if you'd like and just order a quick something with a cup of joe.

    We met up with my brother since we were passing by on our drive home to the east side of the state. Our waitress was friendly and patient with us as we caught up some and took our time looking at the menu and ordering too. They have a quiche and scones on special today. We ordered the Brioche French toast, Centre street omelet and rye bread and the Chorizo and chilaquiles with turkey sausage. No flavored creamers since they have specialty coffees here. The brioche French toast was okay, so was the centre street omelet. The turkey chilaquiles was the highlight of the brunch and was the best of all of our meals. It was the perfect balance of spicy, savory and yummy. Ate up every last bite it was that good. My husband had to eat some of my chilaquiles after one bite since he enjoyed the flavors too. It's the most flavor filled version of chilaquiles I have had thus far. The sauce looks and tastes similar to chili. I would definitely come back and get the chilaquiles again.

    Brisket sandwich

    Great friendly service, and everyone in our large party of 10 loved their meal! My husband said it was the best club he has had!

    Brisket huevos ranchero
    Maribeth H.

    First dine-in experience here and was not disappointed! Coming in on a Thursday, ~9am, we just beat the morning rush. And even when the crowd rolled through, we felt well attended to. Excellent service, thanks Laken! Creative menu items including a seasonal Mardi gras menu. The beignets were delightful! The corned beef hash had a bit of a high potato ratio and for my taste buds, needed the hot sauce to enjoy. The brisket huevos ranchero had multiple layers of delish and a generous helping of smoked brisket. Don't be overwhelmed by their unique menu, they have all the classic breakfast items as well. Looking forward to our return!

Or if you prefer, you can opt for outside patio dining closer to the gorgeous pond. I also enjoyed the stonework features on the building both inside and out. The food was first class, mouth-wateringly delicious, cooked to perfection, beautifully presented, and served with a smile. For an appetizer we had the Sherry Onion Dip which has caramelized onion, roasted garlic, cream cheese, and a pita-like bread for dipping... it was awesome. Then I had a dinner house salad which features mixed greens, dried apricots, candied walnuts, sliced brie, citrus vinaigrette... I loved it. For the main entree I had the 10 oz prime rib with mashed potatoes and veggies... Everything was perfect. I wish we had a Martell's in my hometown. The service was first class, professional, friendly, and attentive. Martell's is a perfect for date night as it is elegant and has tables that provide an intimate setting. But it is also wonderful for friends meeting up, family gatherings and celebrations, and groups. I'd love to return and dine on the patio. I'd be willing to drive a couple of hours to have dinner here again.

    Yikes. This place has some decent reviews so we gave it a shot…read more Service was prompt and friendly. Ordered some beers they were excellent!! Our chicken pesto panini sandwich was terrible. The chicken was old. It was dry and it tasted like dirty refrigerator. Server was pleasant enough and we wanted to make sure she knew we knew it wasn't her fault cuz some people are just jerks like that. We were turned off from the sandwich and didn't want it remade so we ordered some spinach dip. It came out so fast!! And it was. Seriously we both just cringed. The artichoke hearts weren't probably cleaned so the tough spiky bits were in the dip. But the worst part was the chips served with it. They were clearly reheated and the smell of dirty/rancid oil hit my nose before my tongue. We moved the dip around the plate to look like we ate some. Grabbed the check and ran!! Could we have talked to manager? Sure. But 2 meals out of 2 were bust we didn't want to deal with it. And given we'd sent our fist meal back we figured if a manager was interested in our experience they would have come out right away. There's so many great options in the area we don't need to go back. Hope your experience is better than ours!!

The staff was pretty nice and we saw at least two staff working really hard. Cons: -for $48/person the buffet was mediocre -the staff just stood around mostly and joked/talked. I'm fine with this as I was a server once but when it takes 20 min to get water after requesting and you see your server standing and joking for 10 min of those 20 min it's hard to think highly of them. However, I should explain that there were two staff members that we saw that were just flying around. There were a couple more that I saw moving quickly when I saw them so they could also be really fast workers. The problem was just contrast of half the staff not being that active in service was slow. We didn't even know what to do with the buffet and payment after being seated. Overall, I don't think I probably will return at least for a while until the staff gets trained better. I get the feeling it's just that they're young. I'm just surprised as at least when I was a server. I would've been told if you have time to lean you have time to clean or to start congregating.
