Studio Grill - Blueberry amazing pancakes I'll be back!! - American Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

This casual eatery offers one of the most original menus in the area. I last had the Victory Sandwich (Philly beef, coleslaw, Siracha sauce) and couldn't get enough. The stuffed burgers and omelettes are all terrific, too. read more

My wife and I picked this place for breakfast as they had the best breakfast menu in the area. My sausage hash and my wife's Studio omelette lived surpassed our expectations! The restaurant is quaint, but the food is phenomenal! The burger menu looks amazing as well. As someone else mentioned, get a side of the Serrano sauce, the flavor grabs your attention and the heat will linger in your mouth for a while! read more

Food was good but overpriced. Ordered eggs and bacon came out to $7. Charged me full priced for a meal when I didn't have hash browns or toast read more

Their menu says they're the "most unique restaurant in Kalamazoo." I don't know if this is true, but we went in on a day when they were switching up their art so there was nothing on the walls. Maybe that would have made the difference. It looked to me like an ordinary restaurant with a fairly ordinary menu: pancakes, omelets, salads, burgers. The service was very friendly, the food came very slowly, and when it got to us, it was fine. Nothing special (except for the awesome fries), good for the price. So why two stars? Something fairly appalling happened when we were in today. I ordered their special avocado burger. The waitress told me it the patty was stuffed with onions. As I don't like onions, I asked for a regular patty instead. She said no problem. My food arrived. I cut my burger in half and lifted it up to bite into it. Onions. I was sad about this because I didn't have enough time to wait for a new burger to be cooked but was super relieved when the waitress came running out, said she had given me the wrong burger, and placed the correct burger in front of me. I was very pleased with this. Now this is where it gets weird. Someone else (the owner maybe?) came to the table right next to us and said something to the woman sitting there about how she had accidentally cut her burger in half because she thought she needed to share it then realized her mistake and the woman could either have a burger cut in half or wait for a new burger. The woman said she'd take the halved burger. The waitress then brought out MY BURGER. Now, I don't know if they changed the bun and the fries or what, but I had touched that bun and eaten some of the fries off that plate. This was so bizarre to me and SURELY against some kind of health code. I get that everyone makes mistakes, and they were probably in quite the pickle having given the wrong burger to a customer, but this can't be the right solution. read more

I have been here many times for lunch and normally have no problem. The last two times I have been here I have had horrible service and been ignored by the waitresses. I would understand if they were busy but I was told our food would be right up and 20 minutes later I was waiting for my food still. They are lucky I really enjoy the food but I will not be revisiting when on a time crunch. read more

It's time to overcome my complacency and give credit, and lots of it, to our favorite Kalamazoo dining experience....the Studio Grill....Owners and staff: Craig, Daphney, Cassondra, Ashley, Kylie, Christina, Brittany, and Jenna (sorry for any omissions). When in town, we typically eat at the Studio Grill three times a week. Quite simply, the Studio Grill consistently offers the best, most creative, well prepared, and affordably priced food in Kalamazoo or anywhere. If it's not on the menu, it ain't a big deal! If you can describe it, it's likely the kitchen magicians can and will prepare it. For us, the defining reason why Studio Grill earns and deserves a 5-star rating is the staff....always attentive, genuinely friendly. Our review was, in part, driven by the lengthy and generally negative review posted by Team VP On 10/08/2014. Team VP in other negative Yelp restaurant reviews that they've posted say, "I'm not a picky eater. I am a refined eater." And, "Team VP might be considered health conscious hipsters by the American populous....". While we certainly grant Team VP or any reviewer the right to downgrade a restaurant, we likewise feel compelled to recite the success story that is played out seven days a week, week in and week out, by the hard working folks at Studio Grill. We're not hipsters, but we surely know food that goes down well. So we'll assume that Team VP stands for Team Vituperative Pricks, and close with, Rave on Studio Grill, Missy and Okie read more

The food is ok at best, clean is not a word I would use when describing this place, but the part that gets me is an employee. I'm not sure what her role is, does she wait tables, does she manage or does she just over share her life while I'm eating my eggs. I go to breakfast to get my day started, not to listen to her drone on about her life and not bring me my coffee. There are way to many breakfast joints in town to waste your time here. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. I had just moved to the Kalamazoo area when I first stopped by Studio Grill. The waiter welcomed me to the city and even the owner came out and said hi. I felt so at home! Both of them were friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations on what to eat. I have read a couple of reviews about some not-so-good wait service, but whoever this guy was...he was a pro. I went for lunch all the times I have been to Studio Grill and have enjoyed every experience. My favorites are their stuffed burgers. read more

The restaurant is pretty small and parking is typical downtown street-side parking. When I first arrived, it seemed moderately and it wasn't 100% clear that it was a wait to be seated type of restaurant, but in a short period of time someone came to take my name. They indicated that it would be about a 10-15 minute wait and the gentleman suggested waiting next door at michigan news rather than crowding the front of the restaurant, which I did. The wait time was about 10 minutes and the gentleman came over to let me know the table was ready. The food was absolutely amazing, I had the pineapple sweet/spicy burger and it was definitely more on the spicy side but a great flavor and the pineapple did a great job of balancing out the spicy. After this experience, I can't wait to go back and try more items from their menu! read more

The food was quite ok at this place but our waitress told us items were included with our meal and then when we got the check she added them to the bill. We asked her about it and she said that sometimes "they" make her add the items to the bill. We were like ok.... Well this time can you take them off? She said it was ok to take them off and it was kind of awkward. Seems like something "they" or she does all the time and people probably don't check! I thought it was pretty lame! read more

Great local place with a busy and friendly staff and delicious food. It's not fancy or gourmet, but everything is really well executed. To wit - my omelet was crammed with perfectly sauteed veggies, the eggs were fluffy, and my side of hash browns was that nice amalgam of crispy and tender. My husband got biscuits and gravy with eggs, and once again everything was very nicely done. There's a reason for the line out the door on weekends and the stacks of regulars chatting with the owner before, during and after their meals. Good place. read more

Studio grill is one of my downtown go to spots. The service is always spectacular and the burgers are always made to melt in your mouth. Be prepared to wait for a table though. The wait would be tough, however, the owners have an agreement with the bookstore next door, so it's great to look around there while waiting for your seat. I recommend getting the bronco burger! It's awesome! :) read more

One of my favorite breakfast places in Kalamazoo! Plus they have an amazing lunch menu but I can't get myself past the blueberry muffin pancakes! This restaurant is super vegetarian and vegan friendly! The staff is always friendly and helpful. I love coming in here because they know me by name! Also a sweet coffee spot downtown! read more

Amazing BLT. Hubby enjoyed his burger n Cajun fries. I enjoyed my fries n BLT. My only complaint, not enough fries I think I got like 6. Left me wanting more. Before we go home must get another BLT and add avocado. May go today!!!! read more

Really good burgers. Their chili is without beans and has a nutmeg flavor which is really good too. Only negative is their hours, but I guess you want to leave them wanting more, which they succeed in doing. read more

Amazing burgers- servers all really took the time to talk with us. We had 5 different burgers, and each of us loved it. We will all definitely be coming back. read more

My wife and I were looking for "Studio 702", as mentioned in an Mlive.com review. We couldn't find "Studio 702" but we found Studio Grill. It turns out we were supposed to look for "Station 702" and Mlive got the name wrong. We found it, but that's another review. Parking, Parking, Parking. Where are you too park? On a sleepy Monday morning, we swirled the toilet bowl looking for parking from Michigan, Westnedge, Kalamazoo, to Portage st. We finally paid for parking at the lot behind the Wine Loft and walked to Studio Grill. To me the checkerboard tablecloths look cheap. However the local art on the walls were cool. We were seated right away. We both got coffee while looking over the menu. I didn't care for the coffee as its the same over served coffee the rest of the city serves. My wife was disappointed to see the vegan pancakes were not on the menu as it states on the website. I heard the omelets were amazing, so I was eyeing that section of the menu. When the wait staff came around, we asked about the vegan pancakes which were still being offered. I got the Painter's Sink omelet. Staff was great. I was drinking my coffee when a gentleman boomed from behind me, "How you doing?" I assume it was the owner. The out of normal volume startled me into burning my lips on the coffee. I wasn't upset, but humored by the idea of how it looked. The food came in a reasonable time. My wife loved her pancakes. She insisted I try them (she's trying to convert me to veganism.) I thought they were good. Add some butter and maybe a dead animal and they would be great. My omelet was a bit of a disappointment. I expected a light fluffy eggs with fresh veggies and meat but got a paper thin eggs wrapped around what looked like pre-cooked or frozen veggies and yesterdays meat. Overall, the location is not ideal. Service was good if not great. Food needed some help with freshness. I don't see the attraction but for a local joint, this place is good. Beats East egg. IMHO. read more

The owners are wonderful people! The food is great and so is the service. There is always something new to try when I come here. It's one of my favorite places to take visitors of Kalamazoo and they always love it! I wish they were open later! read more

I had the worst experience at this establishment and never even got to try the food! We came in on a weekday and it was not busy at all. We sat at our table and after 20 minutes we didn't even have a menu! None of the staff acknowledged us since they were too busy arguing so we decided to leave. WORST FIRST IMPRESSION EVER! read more

Always delicious. Staff is super friendly and the owner will come check in on you. Never tried an item i didn't like. The vegan pancakes are amazing, even for non-vegans. Expect a wait if you go on weekends but you can hang out at the bookstore next door -- it's worth it! read more

Wonderful little gem in downtown Kzoo! Service was amazing and food just as well. Omlets, pancakes, and homemade jams-- incredible!! So glad we skipped a few other restaurants with hour long waits to be seated almost immediately here. read more

Black bean burger was on point. Decent portion sizes, but they do charge extra to "substitute" for a veggie burger. Not really a substitution if you are charging extra for it... Wish they were open at night. This would make a great late night spot. read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. Vegan options. Friendly servers. Wonderful local art that changes I believe once a month. I highly recommend Studio Grill for breakfast or lunch. You might have a short wait if it is busy. read more

I love this place. I'm pretty new to Kalamazoo and was so excited to see the abundance of vegan options. My boyfriend and I have both enjoyed ourselves here, he usually gets breakfast or a burger and I love love the vegan burger with onion rings. The owners are kind and always make themseleves available. Student discount too! Will be my go-to from now on. :) read more

New favorite breakfast haunt. Fantastic food and exceptional service! Will definitely be back.

Great breakfast. Great coffee. Super friendly staff. Free wi-fi. What more could you ask for?

Charming little restaurant. Had the vegan black bean burger. Tasted great but was very messy! Fries were good, didn't know they had a sweet potato option. 100% vegan friendly, as far as they say (they even said they had separate friers for the meat vs veg food). Art was nice, atmosphere quiet. Good place to take a friend but probably not a big party. Seemed pretty informal but the staff was nice! read more

Great place for breakfast. Nice selection of basics, all well prepared, and plenty of began fare too. Really liked it. Short walk from the Radisson. Help was very friendly. read more

The Cheers of Kalamazoo. Great food , great crew, great owners. They will be calling you by name after a few visits. Creative comfort food. You must try the Blueberry Muffin Pancakes. Even if they are not on the menu. Love this place! read more

This is a great breakfast restaurant! Amazing service and delicious food. We highly recommend their omelettes and the vegan pancakes!

Great service. They went above and beyond to resolve an issue with the sandwich. I ordered the pizza grilled cheese sandwich, outstanding.

Service was very good and people very nice. The food was decent, not bad, but not great either. Went with my hubby, 2 daughters and 2 nieces. My hubby was the only one that did not order the breakfast, he ordered I think the avocado burger. It was delicious! The breakfast food was okay. 3 stars for the breakfast food, burger i would give 5 stars. We didnt have any pancakes, maybe we should have. They looked very good. read more

Great food and fast service. Staff is very friendly and it's a nice laid back atmosphere. Homemade hot sauce is great, and it is actually hot! We went for breakfast and had a great experience. Would go back on another trip to Kalamazoo. I recommend this place for sure. Enjoy! read more

Good burgers and fries but long wait. Was told in no uncertain terms to wait outside in the heat while a table opened up. Won't be going back anytime soon. 5 guys burgers has equal burgers and fries and you get much faster service and air conditioning! read more

I love this place! The food is phenomenal every time. The waitstaff is friendly though there is one who is a little out there but mostly harmless. The owners are just excellent and make sure that patrons are happy with their visit. I wish they were open later however. read more

Amazing food & Great atmosphere! We had breakfast and lunch and both wandered us want to come back again. Potato cakes, sweet potato fries are nice additions. Loved the Turkey Reuben, omelette & grilled ham and cheese. read more

Waited 20 minutes for seat to open up, but not a big deal. Waited 35 min. For breakfast sandwich and Cuban sandwich. Food was delicious and made up for the wait. Very friendly service and worthy of return. read more

Another of the great little places in downtown Kalamazoo to have lunch. The Studio Grill was all about character, great food, great staff and very reasonable prices. The staff were a delight, and had the best traditional club sandwiches that I have had in a long time. Will definitely go back again and again. read more

Loved the Serrano sauce and homemade strawberry jam! Reasonably priced, great service, and great food!
