Old Burdick's Grill - Kalamazoo

I used to visit this place frequently during college. Recently, I took my husband and in-laws there before a hockey game, and we had a great time. The food was delicious and served in generous portions, and the drinks were good too. The prices are reasonable, but I was disappointed to learn they've discontinued the student menu on Sundays. That was a significant attraction for us back in college and kept us coming back. Overall, Burdick's is a lovely restaurant with good seating and a pleasant atmosphere. Our waitress was also very friendly and attentive!

We started by waiting nearly 10 minutes at the entrance without anyone acknowledging us to seat us—something that can happen, but the rest of the experience followed a similar pattern. Our server brought us our waters and then left us alone for about 30 minutes to decide what we wanted to eat and drink. After running out of my water and soda, the server ignored our empty drinks, even after we requested refills. I had to keep asking for refills whenever she checked in to see if everything was okay, and she repeatedly forgot our drinks. Eventually, our food arrived, but one of our friend's meals was missing for an additional 10 minutes, and we had to bring it to their attention. Throughout our meal, our drinks remained empty. We had asked for honey mustard sauce with our wings when we ordered, but she forgot to bring it out. When she finally did return with it, it fell off her tray and onto the floor. While this happens and isn't a huge deal, it became annoying when, 15 minutes later, after we'd finished eating, she asked if I still wanted it. I said it was fine. I stepped away for a moment to use the restroom while the honey mustard sat on the ground. My wife ended up paying the bill without noticing that we were still charged for the sauce that was left on the floor and not cleaned up during our entire visit. We had to be careful not to step in it as we moved around. Overall, I don't think I’ll be returning.

We are regulars at this restaurant and typically visit for a late-night bite after the Sabbath ends. We have always had an enjoyable dining experience here! However, when ordering takeout, we've occasionally encountered missing items and stale fries, so be sure to double-check your bags before leaving, especially if you're from out of town. The trip back isn't worth it. Aside from that, the food is delicious and the service is excellent!

The food was very good. Our waitress was friendly and took good care of us. Enjoyable atmosphere. It was not busy at all.

Restaurant Weekly Specials: Enjoy a fantastic deal of 2 for $25 (excluding drinks). The food is delicious, and it features the best Restaurant Week offers year after year. We opted for the Irish Mudslides, a drink we loved from the previous year's Restaurant Week. Although it’s not pictured, we also had the strawberry shortcake for dessert; we were so full that we had to fight over it!
