    A pizza/American restaurant whose menu doesn't break new ground, but does its comfort food thing quite well. The margherita pizza I had was slightly doughy compared to most others I've had, which are usually burnt--and it was delicious. I also liked the cheese curds. If I wanted to nitpick, I'd have liked a few more fruit options on the beer menu, but this is the kind of corner joint you'll come back to in Kalamazoo. The brick arches inside are a nice touch too.

    Waited quite a bit before getting waited on (and there were only 3 filled dining tables when we arrived)Asked for burger no lettuce, no onion--both were on it. Burger was overcooked and husband's bacon on BLT was burned. The handicap bathroom! If you have a rollator--plan on having to walk into the bathroom without it! Plus when the door is open, it blocks half the toilet so you can't roll in and leave the door open while going because the toilet isn't accessible with the door open! Maybe their pizzas are better but our first visit was not impressive. Restaurant itself was clean.

    I was invited here and thought I would try something new and to see how good there Za (pizza) was. To my surprise, all the food I sampled was delicious. Usually, when there is a lot on the menu, the consistency of the food is left out. My food emotions increased, and the dopamine in my brain is made me feel good. I suggest going here, and trying the Cekola's pizza; you'll be glad you did.

    I don't live in the area but am in town frequently, and always meet friends at Jac's! The staff is always super friendly and they do a great job of seating our group of friends together, even during busy days like march madness games. The food is pretty good for "bar" food and they run great specials all week long. I wanted to call out a specific experience yesterday. After attempting brunch for 14ppl at another spot in town and failing, several of us suggested we head to Jac's as we were starving (hangry!!) and are always taken care of there. Sundays at Jac's means specials on all my favorites- their thin crust pizza, wings, and a Blood Mary bar! Our group came in around 1:30pm and they were able to seat us all at one big square table where we could see and hear everyone. It was awesome the way the tables were put together for a group (vs one long table where you can only talk to the people next to us.) we are a very social group, and I was visiting from out of town, so this was a nice touch. Adrienne was our server and all I can say is WOW! She was so efficient and on top of everything all while being friendly and keeping a big smile on her face. She grabbed all our drink orders and we had drinks lighting fast. Everyone's food orders and special requests were taken and before I knew it we had all our meals. Their chicken wings are hands down the best in town- I recommend the spicy garlic! It's like a buffalo sauce with an extra flavor kick. We had extra napkins and waters without even asking. She made sure we had our ranch, blue cheese, and whatever condiments or sauces we needed. Our needs were anticipated, which always makes for a great experience dining out! A good server is proactive vs reactive and I really appreciated this. The Sunday Bloody Mary bar was a nice touch as well. A large variety of different mixes and toppings. I've tried a variety of menu items at Jac's - their different dips, queso, nachos, pizza, wings. The nachos are really good. The secret is both melted shredded cheese AND melted queso on top. The salsa has a good smoky/roasted flavor. The thin crust pizza is good every time - classic cheese with sausage is always a winner! Adrienne had asked us right off the bat how we needed the bills handled, and kept everyone's tabs organized and split by singles and couples. We had our tab promptly when we needed to go and everything was correct. This is always a feat in itself, and while is never expected with a large group, is always appreciated! Huge thanks again to Adrienne for being a rockstar and for taking care of our hangry large group!

    Casual, fun atmosphere. Lots of tvs with different sports playing. Pool table and video games. Good for big groups. Nice Sunday brunch menu. We liked the bloody mary bar. Also the chips and guacamole was yummy. They have good daily specials.

    This pizza was amazing! I always think I am not a fan of thin crust, but apparently I am if it's done right! I had the Hawaiian pizza, and it was the perfect mix of sweet and savory and cheesy on that super crispy crust. The menu was pretty big, with a lot of variety- huge amount of appetizers, sandwiches and burgers, pizzas and some other entrees as well. Everything was clean and the service was great. Our cocktails were delicious and the glasses never got empty.

    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!!

    We stopped by One Well Brewing while we were in the area! We absolutely loved the entire experience…read more- the beer flights, the games, and the majority of the food! We stopped by around 1 PM on a Saturday! It was super busy and packed! I love that it's family-friendly! It was fun seeing all of the kids running around and playing games - there are SO many games (two full rooms) from air hockey to arcades games to darts to duckpin bowling to pinball machines to pool tables - they literally have it all! Our daughter enjoyed playing ALL the games while my husband and I enjoyed our beer flights and waited for our food! Food: Our daughter ordered the Kids Mac and Cheese with Kettle Chips. The mac and cheese was cold and dry and her kettle chips were cold and stale. She did not enjoy her meal at all! I wonder if her food sat out while my husband and I's food was being prepared as my kettle chips were more fresh and actually tasted good! I ordered the Cuban with Kettle Chips. This was probably the best Cuban sandwich I have ever had (and I have had quite a few Cuban sandwiches in my lifetime)! The pork was smoked and absolutely delicious and tender! They were not skimpy on the pork either (like some other restaurants can be when ordering a Cuban sandwich)! The bread was perfectly toasted too! My husband ordered Buffalo Wingdings. These were perfectly smoked and fall-off-the-bone good as well (maybe a little too fall-off-the-bone for a wing though)! However, the chicken wings still tasted great! Drinks: My Flight - Straight Forward, Grandpa's Hard, Bad Adz, BBA Wizard Potion, and Bogged Down. Husband's Flight - Stained Glass, Ripped Right, Bad Add, Rogue Red, and Simco. These were all good and we enjoyed them! We will definitely stop by again if we are ever back in the area!
