Restaurant Name: hub tavern and grill Dish: woodfire Pizza -loaded fries- cheesy bread Price: 67$ Date Visited:3/9/26 First Impressions: The overall ambiance of The Hub Is warm and cozy and a great place to meet up socially when it comes to friends it's in an easy to locate area with parking nearby. Presentation - 8/10 Pretty standard presentation for the pizza nothing to out of the ordinary. Taste & Flavor - 8/10 The Meat-za had a good flavorful balance -The sauce could have been a little bit better, The cheese bread was great by far my favorite dish was probably the loaded fries they were well seasoned a perfect amount of cheese and a great amount of pulled pork. I will say my favorite part was probably their old fashioned it was very well prepared The flavors are a direct match and it was made correctly. Freshness- All of our food was freshly prepared and still warm when it came out to us- The drinks took a little bit longer but that's a given. Portion Size - 10/10 The appetizers we ordered were filling enough to where me and my husband only ate half of the pizza and took a little bit of everything home with us I would say it's well worth the price. Value for Money - 7/10 For the pizza it was 20 bucks The old fashioned I ordered was 11 which is a little bit more than most places charge in my area but the quality was good The cheese bread was a little expensive for the ingredients they used. The loaded fries were well worth their price. ‍ Service - 6/10 Our server was friendly however he was a little too friendly and got a little too close to us and made us feel a little uncomfortable he wasn't on top of things but it seemed he had a lot on his plate so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Overall Rating: 8/10 Final Verdict: I would go back here for the appetizers and drinks as a social gathering or as just a get together with friends they do have a good atmosphere and it seems like a lot of people come here to relax after work. Overall I would say it's a good place to come and try a good wood fired pizza. read more

I got the italian sandwich and it was the best sandwich i've had in the last 6 months. I totally recommend it. The vibe inside was really calm and a wood vibe. Up to date and clean. Our waitress was fast and kept my water filled (3 refills). EDIT 4 DAYS LATER: Still thinking about this sandwich, so good. Need to go back. read more

We dined twice on our visit to Kalamazoo primarily due to the exuberance of Miguel's recommendation. He ensured us everything on the menu was delicious and we felt certain after hearing his quick recommendations of various items on the menu that we would not be disappointed. And we were not! So much so, that as I said, we came back a day later. We highly recommend...the food was great, the staff was excellent and it made our first visit to Kalamazoo memorable. read more

Came in on a Saturday afternoon 130pm place was busy and understaffed unfortunately. Felt bad for the wait staff as they were hustling to handle the larger crowd. Drinks were slower than normal but when you have one bartender it's understandable. I got the Adult grilled cheese and was left underwhelmed by the minimal amount of cheese. The bacon and onion jam overpowering the small amount of cheese. No cheese pull on the sandwich. The chicken sandwich smelled like it was cooked in a fish fry which was an odd smell taste experience. read more

Nice bar with great food! The wood fired pizza is above average and they do a great double fried wings, the chicken wings are juicy and huge! The service was just ok but it's a bar and our waiter was busy so I don't hold it against them, he really only came over once was trying to order more drinks but not a big deal. Will be back read more

Food and service always hit the mark. Not the best selection of beers but the food and service make up for that

Food was fresh and delicious. Service was great even though we were a party of 7. Ambiance was good also. read more

I tried this place during a girls day out. We enjoyed pizza and I ordered chicken sandwich. I asked them to make the chicken fried instead of grilled and they were happy to do so. The sandwich was so good and tasty! My friend tried thier pickle pizza and she was impressed. My only complaining is about the lighting. It was a little dark during the day time. read more

I didn't know what to expect with this meal so I got something slightly different than my usual. I decided the chicken because it's chicken and a good place can make a pan roasted chicken delicious.....and boy did they. The chicken was so juicy it had me wondering if it was even cooked. It was absolutely perfect. The potatoes were amazing, zucchini was nice and cooked, everything about this meal was incredible. The lady had Mac and cheese with bacon and she's a picky Mac and cheese fan.....she smashed the whole thing. Our waitress was great and attentive as well. If I lived In town I'd go here every week! read more

Stopped in to the Hub Tavern recently for a midday snack and had a nice experience at the bar. The space is huge and would be great for groups. It was an off time so it was really quiet when I was there. It's a little confusing entering because there are a couple of entrances, and we didn't see a host anywhere nearby so we just went up to the bar. I'm sure it's probably more visibly staffed during busier times. The menu is a bit eclectic but has wood fired pizza, burgers, sandwiches, etc. I ordered the nachos, expecting a pretty large portion - the bartender let us know it was generous. The chips were super crispy, and I really liked the tender chicken. This is a great bar snack that I'd order again, and definitely could be shared with a group as a starter. I liked this place and would try a pizza next time! I liked some of the more unique menu items like shrimp toast. They have "Hub day" every Wednesday with deals on food and drinks. We got lucky with a street parking spot right out front, but you can also park in the Epic Center ramp, on W Lovell Street, or the Kalamazoo Mall ramp. read more

They have an extensive menu which was appreciated by one of the people in our party. I tried the Olive burger and thought it was good but had a bit too much sauce. I think you should poke an olive through a toothpick and put it through the bun for a fun presentation. Another guest got the small chicken nachos and that could have served 3 people. Our third guest had the mac and cheese and said it was very rich. Get the Monkey Bread too! read more

Steak Frites 100!!! Olive burger 100!! Love the Hub, and had not been in awhile. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and it was great. The smashburgers are solid but the steak frites impressed me so much. Perfectly done hangar steak, which isn't easy for many restaurants to say. Great job in the kitchen! read more

Went with a group of friends (had a reservation). Waited a LONG time between ordering and getting drinks...then appetizers....then our entrees. They ran out of silverware, ran out of plates! This is not the first time that happened! Waitress was nice and friendly, and food was pretty good, but the restaurant aeemed unprepared for actual 'customers'! read more

Very inconsistent. I have been there 3 times. It is a bit of a drive downtown and honestly what has been done with the parking and the bike lanes it is a mess. The first time was delicious. I do not like being crammed into the booth in the bar. I brought some family from out of town. The food was not like the first time. Tasted like the grease was over used and needed to be changed. We were again crammed into the booth in the bar. I believe we had 7 adults. Another time we drove downtown, this was the second visit. When we walked up to the door there was a note saying closed for private party. A lot of people were upset as well as we were. It has so much potential. Makes me sad. Downtown is nothing anymore. Perhaps if you have private parties put a note on your website that you will be closed for a private party. Have not been back since October or November. I must say your servers were the best. read more

The menu is broad enough for everyone to find something to eat. The food is delicious with lots of homemade sauces and dishes. My friend and I both ordered sandwiches - which came with a choice of fries or homemade pub chips. We both chose the chips and they were really good! I tried the crispy chicken sandwich - had a nice Nashville heat to the chicken. Our server, Lucy, was attentive and on top of refills. She made recommendations for us and did not steer us wrong. I watched her deal with a young family and their children and was quite pleasant throughout the encounter. The place is beautiful. Lots of wood and brick - it feels warm and welcoming. The space is larger than I expected - with a full bar and a view of the wood burning pizza oven. I felt the prices were reasonable and the food lived up to what the menu described. More house made items than expected. I'd recommend this place and I plan to bring back more friends. On Wednesdays they have a few specials - they don't call it happy hour but you can get a burger for $5 after 3pm until close! read more

A cool old brick building location right downtown. The bartender was fun and attentive. The food was good, both the Caesar salad and the hub favorite pizza were a hit. Plus, the tap selection was good - the Great Lakes Winter Ale and the M43 Solis were tasty and we appreciated the tap options. read more

We had a great dinner! The service was very attentive and made sure we had drink refills consistently. Started with chips/guacamole that had awesome flavor and chips were homemade while perfectly seasoned. The House bacon smash burger was huge and tasty! My daughter had The Nashville chicken sandwich was cooked to perfection with sauce that rocked her socks off! I had the turkey club with avocado that was huge but had the perfect amount of everything! The winner of the whole meal was the French fries. Out of this world..hot, crispy and salted on point! We will continue to visit this cozy restaurant downtown as this was our second visit:-) Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! read more

Calamari was good, my chicken sandwich was hard and the cheese was burned on top of the chicken.

Went for Restaurant Week and to have a nice place to take our daughter. I'm so happy to see how busy it was downtown! Husband and I ordered from their Restaurant Week menu (salad choice, entree, and dessert for $35). I ordered the salmon, which is seriously fantastic! The rice cake they serve with it is crunchy and delicious. The miso sauce has some sweetness to it that I love. Husband ordered their steak frites medium rare. It came with chimichurri sauce and, WOW, was that good! He even liked the little salad that was accompanied with the steak! Daughter had their blackened Mahi sandwich which is always a winner. The slaw that comes with that sandwich is such a nice touch of freshness. It was pretty packed when we arrived and the servers were bustling around like crazy. We had very good service, as is per usual with Millennium restaurants. Not overly fussy but you still feel like you're somewhere special. read more

The food was good and always is when we go to eat here and the server was awesome.HOWEVER, we were sitting where the kitchen is and the girl expediting the food was using her bare hands to put fries on plates, she was picking up food that feel on the counters with her hands and putting them back in the plates, all while scratching her head, and touching everything. When my food came I sent it back immediately and informed the waitress why who gave me a look like this was a surprise and got me fresh food that she handled. They need to have better standards on how they handle food. read more

My son and I visited the Hub Tavern + Grill for the first time and we were extremely pleased with the vibe and character of the environment. It's a must see! My son said the Deluxe Smash burger was savory and my wood-fired Hawaiian-ish pizza was flavor blast with immersion of jalapeños and crust had crispy crunch with soft interior. Wood-fired pizza takes someone who pays attention to details and Chef is game-on! read more

This used to be a great summer place. You could sit outside and they were very friendly if you brought your dog. They have a new policy and you can't have your dog outside. The food and service aren't good enough to come here otherwise. read more

When you walk in, you have plenty of options for seating. More open areas, and a rustic-aesthetic bar in view but still apart from the rest of the restaurant. Perfect date night seating is also available, away from the open area and bar. There are two of these date night areas, both cozy and high class. The Service was spot on. Sometime servers come to often, or not enough. Ours, seated us promptly upon walking in and checked with us frequently, but not to were it was too much, topping off drinks as need be. The food took a little longer than expected, but the waitress gave us updates periodically and gave a discount for the wait- greatly appreciated! I do wish they would had asked where we wanted to be seated. We would had preferred the date night area. Because the venue does have such an open main floor, I can see it getting loud and we definitely could hear at least three conversations going on. We ordered the Electric Goat Cheese Appetizer and it was amazing! Such a nice balance of flavors and the goat cheese was so delicious. Shortly after, came out the Pizza. We ordered the Pesto Chicken and Goat Cheese Pizza. The pizza was good but was missing something that made it, well... great. The pesto was great and the chicken tender, and the artichoke was a nice feature! However, we did find ourselves getting bored after the first slice and to spice it up, we added the tomato base from the Goat Cheese Starter. This added the needed flavors missing from the pizza. The crust also was nothing particularly special and lacked the smoke flavor we sought from the fire oven. Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice aesthetic and good food. We can't wait to be back to try the other menu items! read more

I looked at the menu online to get an idea what was available, but when we got to the restaurant the physical menu was different and the items we wanted to order were no longer on the menu. Very frustrating. We also ordered a beer and it took four times (back and forth by the waitress) before we got one that was in stock. I gave the waitress my millennium card number and she said the number is too short and it doesn't exist. So she gave us a card with instructions on how to look up and modify my Millennium rewards card, but the QR code printed on it did not work. The guys said the latch on the bathroom door stall didn't align and had to be hoisted with their foot in order to make it work. The toilet paper rolls were just sitting there and not in the dispenser. Classy. We waited an excessively long time to get our dessert. It also took a long time to get our checks. The atmosphere was nice and the food was good. read more

just wandered in here while shopping downtown and had a wonderful experience. Interesting cocktails including the boozy hot chocolate. Nice wine selection. We had nachos and they were so good. Great service and fun atmosphere. Worth trying!! read more

when i initially walked in, i was bamboozled by the sign outside. it was not only wood fire pizzas, but also a selection of other land and sea delicacies. i was known as the pickle expert in a past life, so when i saw a pickle pizza, i had to get my claws on it. it was good, but wouldnt write home about it. spinach dip, delish! i even enjoyed the crisp skin of the double fried wings. almost finger licking good. sadly, the downfall was the service. now listen, i am no arm chair quarterback, and tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, but i felt like that half eaten icecream cake shoved to the back of the freezer and forgotten about for 6 months. overall, pretty gnarly spot. read more

Not my first time eating here but it was definitely my first time ordering a meal myself. Needless to say the service I got wasn't that great, the man I spoke with on the phone was very irritable about my order which everyone has bad days I pushed that aside until I came into the restaurant to pay for my pick up order and the guy I was on the phone with gave me such dirty looks all up until I left. Interesting experience , food is good as always but customer service was terrible. read more

The pizzas were decent - more crust than I prefer though. The mixed drinks were pretty good. It was a weekend evening during dinner time - and it was maybe 50% of capacity. Hub missed the mark in a few ways. We sat down to a "clean" table, that was full of crumbs. Then my water glass had lip stick on it still - which I didn't notice until after my first drink. They didn't have the TV channel with the Pistons game on, so we had to watch whatever game they could find on their basic cable package. The venue was pretty quiet inside - it seemed like you could hear a pin drop at times. There isn't a way to request music, so you are stuck listening to lame 80's classic rock. In the days that followed, my wife and I both got sinus infections that took a week to recover from. We can't help but feel we contracted it at Hub, given how (not) clean things were. We hope they do well. With how busy it was, and them struggling to keep things clean - I fear they won't make it. We might try again in a couple months. read more

This place was fantastic. Lovely vibes inside the restaurant and the service was out of this world (more on that later), food was so delicious!! we tried the crispy broccoli appetizer, Nashville chicken Sammy, BYO burger, and the cheesecake was to die for!

The food was good and the atmosphere was typical for bar/grill. Our waitress was great which bumps them up to 4-star.
