Great place to have a fast meal, you can order in advance for fast service. It is on the Pricey side for my frugal OCD but once in a while it's just fine. The ambiance is nice, with soft music playing in the background. Just lovely.

I reviewed several reviews before posting this. I noticed that it had terrible reviews and I wasn't sure why. Some of people's concerns were the staff and wait times. I can see why that was a concern. When I went, they seemed a little understaff but they were training someone to be a cashier. So maybe next time, that will not be a problem. I like the food. I always get the same thing no matter when I go. No matter how long is in between the visits, it is always made the same and I love that. I don't have to worry about it not being as good as the first time or last time. I love this location and that is right off Gull Road. Atmosphere: It is clean and overall, I don't think the wait times were long. Overall: I give this place 4 stars. I will go back.

Isolde said no one thinks the teddy bear is ever the culprit in food thefts.  Their mistake.

Recently I have been plagued with this recurring dream. I am resting in a recliner and my teddy bear whispers in my ear that she would like to take across country trip with zero money set aside for food. "You don't eat," I reply, "and I try to not eat from dumpsters anymore." "No, you don't understand," she giggles. "See, Panera has these pieces of furniture with shelves or cubby holes. Customers order and pay on line, staff prepare the food and package it, then customers walk in and grab their packages of yummy goodness and walk out, all without having to talk to Panera staff. It's food served in a warm, welcoming fast-casual way by people who would rather not make eye contact with you. So, we just go in while staring at our phones, sorta distracted, and grab some packages and walk out." "Isn't that theft?" I said. "It's potluck," my teddy bear said. "Sure, "you don't know what sandwich or soup or rice bowl you might be getting, but that only adds to the thrill. We could criss cross the country, never going into the same Panera twice." I know I have too much of a conscience to ever do this. I really don't find this Panera's as objectionable as the other two in town (Westnedge, West Main). It never gets as overwhelmingly busy as the other two, and the interior is walled off so its sections are a bit quieter. Having said that, we tend to buy three things and only these three things from this (or any Panera, if I think about it): coffee, bagels (and yes, I know they aren't genuine), and the big containers of soups (Broccoli Cheese soup, generally) that serve 4 or 6. The days of eating Strawberry Poppyseed Salads and Turkey Bacon Bravo sandwiches at Panera's is long past. There are just too many other interesting places to eat now, and the tired Panera menu complete with the escalating prices holds no appeal anymore. Anyway, frozen macaroni & cheese aside, it's a chain restaurant, and with every chain there has to be uniformity of flavors across all of the the restaurants (e.g., so the Broccoli Cheese soup tastes the same everywhere). So is it surprising that many items are made at a central location, flash frozen, and then shipped to individual restaurants? What's alarming is the dog and pony show that Panera engages in to disguise the reality that the Panera chain is just an upscale McDonald's.

We visited on a Saturday morning for breakfast when most of our area was without power after some…read morebig storms rolled through. Admittedly our first choices were not open due to power outages. This is a new place that we have never noticed before. I believe this building used to house Theo and Stacey's and then Berries. The service was attentive and kind here, however our meals left us with a less than stellar opinion and a lack of desire to return. I can see from another reviews here that the owner says the food is mostly "house-made". I am not certain if this phrasing means the same thing as homemade, but none of our meals tasted at all homemade. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with the added option of eggs and potatoes for an extra $3. Nothing on my plate tasted homemade to my palate. The biscuits were not warm and tasted like a premade item, not like a fresh biscuit, at all. The gravy definitely had a canned taste and appearance - not flavorful or very warm. The eggs were fine, cooked to order. The breakfast potatoes did not look fresh cut and were undercooked and not seasoned as our waitress described. They definitely had a premade appearance. I have ordered biscuits and gravy all over this town, I'm not a rookie in this field. ;) My son ordered a Benedict. It was very basic, as expected, but with a bland, cold sauce. My husband ordered an omelet with the breakfast potatoes and toast. If you order sourdough toast it only comes with one piece, which is fine, but it's not true sourdough from a fermented starter. It appeared to be regular, thin bread from a packaged, pre-made loaf. He also commented that the potatoes appear to be out of a frozen bag, not a homemade appearance, taste, or flavor. The omelet was bland but they do provide salt and pepper as well as one hot sauce choice to flavor things up a bit. The coffee was very diner-esque. Lacking in flavor and strength. However our waitress kept our cups full and warm! There were a couple of larger groups present which kept the atmosphere quite loud during our visit. However the restaurant is cute and has quite a few tables to hold a good sized amount of patrons at once. With a tip our total for 3 breakfast entrees and two coffees was just shy of $60. I know that prices are on the higher side these days, but this was extremely disappointing for the food that we were served. There are so many wonderful breakfast restaurants in our area - another choice might benefit both the tastebuds and wallet! I try to be kind but honest in my reviews here, two stars is generous.

Legacy had a super quiet and comfortable atmosphere you could have read a book in there and…read morewouldn't have been disturbed, there was no wait and only two other couple in the building around 3pm -4pm. The food was good and the waitress was on point when she needed to be she was super quick the food didn't take long at all. We go two smash burgers a classic and traditional both greatly prepared I highly recommend this if you're looking for a good burger in the Kalamazoo area our bill was only 33 bucks with burgers fries and drinks

600 is such a cute place for a lovely meal!…read more We have been multiple times but stopped in on a recent sunny afternoon for some lunch. 600 is so light and airy, we really love the atmosphere!! We had a really great waitress, I wish I would have gotten her name! She was doing the job of hostess and waitress to multiple tables, and doing it all very well! We ordered a chicken sandwich and a salad for our lunch entrees! Both were very good and presented very well! While the food is good and quality feels high - the price is also on the high side. For a sandwich and a salad, waters to drink, we spent over $50 for our lunch! Just something to be aware of! While we had time - the experience was not fast. Something to be aware of if needing a quick lunch. The restaurant was not overly busy but the wait was a little long to receive our order. I ordered a salmon salad - the menu nor the website specify if the salmon is wild caught or farmed. I would really love to know this information - the price would be much better reflected if it were indeed wild caught. :)

We arrived to an appetizer table without serving tongs. Someone asked the waiter with the flower…read moreclips in his hair for tongs and eventually he produced some admitting her forgot. Everyone was using their hands to pick up meats and cheese as and jam and fruit! The food was very good and the portion was really large. I am a big eater and this was much. The price was reasonable. The stairs make it difficult for people that need assistance. There is a bathroom upstairs. We had one waiter -the same one- that took the drink orders then took the food orders and took care of the payments! He had bussing help but he was inexperienced and unavailable for guest assistance. The service was horrible! It took one hour to get a cup of coffee. Orders took a long time to arrive another 40 min after coffee. Our check took another 40 min to be produced! After all that a 23% tip was automatically applied!! Wow! Too much under the circumstances. The place is nice with a nice atmosphere and clean. The bathrooms are clean although it ran out of paper. We may try it again but with a different waiter. One more thing... burritos should not be served with toast. Fries or hash browns are a better choice.
