I had traveled to Battle Creek from Detroit and was beat down driving 94 West. After looking for…read moresomething to eat, we decided on Kitchen Proper. Wow! This place is great. I am from Virginia and love sweet tea and know Michigan doesn't have sweet tea BUT our server Trish brought me tea and simple syrup--amazing. Trish is very knowledgeable about the menu and where the ingredients are sourced from. With so much great food, I wish I had a couple of extra stomachs. This place is great. The service and professionalism is at a whole other level of amazing. When frequenting this restaurant, ask for Trish--a server who knows her job and more importantly food.

Before I ordered, I specifically asked the waitress if the strawberries refresher frozen and she assured me they were fresh. Sadly, my crêpes arrived with warm mushy strawberries that had obviously been frozen. They were very generous with the portion of strawberries - but unfortunately, I really hate them when they're mushy. They overwhelmed the dish and made the crêpes soggy. My husband had an omelette and he said it was pretty decent. The service was good and they stopped by our table at least three times for a coffee warm-up.

Loved this place from the go. From seamless ordering to delicious food, this restaurant does…read moreeverything right. Ordering on their website is effortless and I was impressed with how well they manage their curbside pickups with clear, concise instructions. I placed an order on their website; paid online and chose curbside pickup. Was given a time window for pickup and also received a message when my order was ready. Drove to the parking lot behind the restaurant; found that there are 4 parking spots dedicated to the restaurant. As soon as i got there I replied to their message with my parking lot number and within a minute my food was brought to me ! We wanted to sample a few items and decided to go with "just meats" along with a couple sides and ordered breaded honey lemon pepper and naked lemon pepper dry seasoning chicken wings; honey lemon pepper chicken wings were mouthwatering and the dry seasoning chicken wings were pretty good too. Also tried Cajun salmon and found that it was perfectly cooked and packed in a lot of flavor. Absolutely loved the six cheese Mac and cheese; it was creamy and so comforting !! Side of chicken dressing with stuffing was flavorful. I will continue to order from soul food by deja when I am in Battle Creek. Very happy to support to this business !

Two other French dips were delivered without au jus. My Philly cheese steak was okay, but it lacked seasoning and adequate filling. Our appetizers were delivered after the main dishes came out, defeating the point of ordering them. There is absolutely no reason to order the special fries, as they truly were just thinner fries. Tasted nothing different from the standard fries, just crispier because of their smaller size. Loaded fries were missing toppings. The waitress did not check back on us for drinks or food, so we gave up on a better experience. Might have been our luck when we visited, but sitting out front was to our and the other guests' detriment, as the wait staff seemed to forget about us between required visits. We had a decent $40 meal, with a $60+ price tag.

One word: Lackluster…read more Went there on a Saturday at noon for lunch. Noticed that the decor had been changed but instead of an update, it looked downgraded. I was kind of shocked. I have been there when it was Darrell's, , Veritas, and I was really surprised that the design was so basic. When we were seated I noticed we were the only people in the restaurant. The staff was all piled in the kitchen talking and milling about. When our waitress finally came, my friend asked what was in one of the menu items. The waitress seemed annoyed and said she didn't know but it was on the menu. She kept sighing every time we had a question. I got a side salad and the whipped hot honey goat cheese and bruschetta and my friend just ended up getting the soup. To me, the side salad was arranged on a smaller plate and the lettuce and veggies kept falling out. The goat cheese bruschetta was ok. Not as amazing tasting as I had hoped but not bad. The bruschetta was dry. It was pricey too. Basically, we won't be back.
