If you are looking for an expensive but guilty pleasure food look no further. I am a whore for supporting local food establishments. This was the garlic Parmesan hand cut fries and they were delicious. I devoured them especially when dunked in Nonla spread. I've never ate in here, always done drive through and it's always seamless and amazing service. read more

Tucked in a strip mall by Costco, we stopped in for lunch. The fries were crispy and on point, the burgers were good but not out of this world. It's a great spot for a quick, fresh meal, but I'm not sure I would go out of my way to go there again. read more

They have excellent chicken sandwiches here, I was surprised that it included a fresh carrot relish that was perfectly complimentary to the chicken and sauce. The 2 types of crunch paired really well with the soft bun. Service was excellent and very quick, I'd love to come back in the future! read more

Great burger fries are always amazing food is good service not so much. Door dasher has really ruined a good thing

Nonla Burger is pretty tasty and offers a great value. We have a location in Grand Rapids now, but stopped in to this spot recently. Their indoor seating area is super tiny but they do have some tables outside. We managed to get a table and our food was done quickly. The menu is small, with burgers, a chicken sandwich (you can get spicy or regular), fries, a couple starters, and milkshakes. I ordered the double smash burger which was perfection, with juicy patties and crisp lettuce. It's definitely one of the better local fast-casual burgers I've had in the Grand Rapids area (I haven't had many in Kalamazoo, but I would guess it's one of the best there, too). Nate got the spicy chicken sando combo which comes with fries and a drink. The fries are average but you can get them Nonla Way, with melted cheese, grilled onions, cilantro, etc. to kick them up a bit. I had a few bites of the chicken sando and unfortunately it just tasted like fish since their weekly special was a fish sandwich. Not very appetizing for me. The employees were all very polite and kind! Note that there is limited parking at this location and they mostly do a lot of takeout orders. read more

I stopped in for a quick lunch while working out of town. I had never been before and the reviews all said it was great so I needed to see for myself. I would much rather spend $14 here for a combo than get some nasty fast food. The quality is better and the service was great. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

I love Nonla burger so much! Their cheeseburgers are some of the best around in Kalamazoo and always love coming here! I will be back and just a side note that their special of the day is so good!! read more

Service was great. Double cheeseburger was on point! The shake of the day, Mackinac Island Fudge, in theory sounds great! Wasn't. It was a weird texture. Sorry to say but probably the WORST SHAKE I've EVER had from anywhere. Still best burgers anywhere! read more

This is my first time to the Kalamazoo location as the Mattawan Nonla has permanently closed. Good news though - food is still perfect! Nonla has maybe my favorite wings ever made. They are meaty, have a perfect exterior with a bit of a crunch, and the hot honey sauce is a dreamy sticky wonderland of flavor. I love the salad of the day with the super fresh herbs - truly delightful and a nice light complement to the heaviness of the chicken and burger options. Takeout was fast and online ordering a breeze. Will be back!! read more

Visited on a Saturday evening 6pm and had to wait for a parking spot but plenty of booths open to dine in. Fun, welcoming vibe right when you entered. We were greeted with a warm welcome and did not feel rushed or pushed to order. It was our first time here and we were talked through several options for sauces and toppings on the side as well as add ons. Food came out fresh and hot in about 10 mins even with plenty of take out orders coming through the doors while we were there. I personally enjoyed my burger, it was juicy and hit the spot like any good "bar" or dive spot burger does. My husband loved his spicy chicken sando. He added the house made pickles and enjoyed their flavor but their size made it a bit hard to eat. He ate most of them on the side separate, which to be fair is probably how they are truly intended to be enjoyed. Chicken was cooked well, hardy and balanced with good flavor. I had my fries the Nonla way which included grilled onions, their special sauce and jalapeños. When I say I never want to eat fries any other way I mean it. So good! I'll be back for these crispy fries and sauce alone! Got to chat with the manager before we headed out and he was very personable. You could tell he enjoyed his job. We will be back for the great service and food! read more

Nonla Burger - Perfect!!! thanks ladies!!! - Burgers Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

I personally love nonla burger. It is very convenient, as the service is always quick and it is worth the money. I usually get the cheeseburger and it is so delicious my only critique is that it falls apart quick so I usually have to cut it and use toothpicks to hold it together. The fried are delicious and they never disappoint as they are big and always the right temperature. One small bit of advice, I wouldn't order online. Spending the extra time driving there is worth it as you get it hot. The times I have ordered, my food was cold and I got the cheese fries and the cheese was already solid and just wasn't the best. The look of the restaurant is cute, the one near burdick is smaller but that's the one I usually go to and the workers are so nice and it's always clean. Overall, it's a very nice restaurant and a delicious, price worthy meal. read more

Great chicken sandwiches and burgers! Limited seating at both locations but great for take out!

We were looking for the best burgers in town and Nonla came highly recommended by locals. Went to the Burdick St. location, a small building that you could easily pass if you weren't familiar with area. Due to pandemic our order was pick up only. Order was ready quickly, and friendly service. Ordered two cheeseburger meals with fries. Asked for iced tea and had to pay an up charge since we didn't order a fountain drink. Burger was well wrapped, made it easy to eat. Very tasty burger, we enjoyed it just not sure it was the best I've ever had. I'd try again once they open and we can try some of their specials. read more

Nonla Burger - Burgers Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

While visiting Kalamazoo I was on my own for lunch and all I wanted was a really good chicken sandwich. I am so so happy this place popped up in my search because it was another life experience. This chicken sandwich BLEW MY MIND! First off I got the spicy chicken but I am going to assume the regular is just as mind blowing. The spicy one is dipped, yes dipped in chili oil . You'd think it would be too spicy to eat but it was it just the perfect heat. It contains a nice hearty amount of Mayo and then their homemade pickles. The pickles were amazing! Go for the sandwich, stay for the pickles. I seriously put into words how much I enjoyed this sandwich. I wouldn't shut up about it all day. Everyone I went to Kalamazoo was tired of hearing me talk about the chicken sandwich and they were all jealous they didn't come along. CHEERS! read more

Nonla burger was a lot smaller than I was expecting but my husband and I had read all about how fantastic the burgers are so we didnt let the size discourage us from delicious nom noms. We were told about what comes on the burgers and chicken sandwich while we waited in line. My husband got the double burger with fries while I got a single burger. We chose to eat in and attempted to patiently wait. I had requested no tomato and my husband said no veggies. He got no veggies but mine still came with tomato. It's not a big deal and honestly was having an awful day and knew my brain was overreacting which would show if I said something. I decided to just pick it off but was disappointed that quite a bit off the sauce came off with the tomato. Overall it was all tasty and I am hoping to come back soon to try the chicken sando. read more

Have been a regular for a while and have always been happy with the burgers but my latest was very disappointing! The burgers were so overcooked it was hard to eat. When we called to point it out they said call DoorDash for a refund. Last time I checked DoorDash does not cook burgers. So long nonla read more

This place has been recommended to me a couple times so I had to check it out. One thing I noticed is the burger patties are a little thin but I was told to order a double and it was perfect. It was delicious and way better than any fast food place you could go. The burger was juicy and I really like the sauce that they put on the burger. Highly recommend this place. read more

I don't need fancy. I need good. And Nonla's burger was more than good. It was great! It's a small place with a few tables inside and a very few tables outside. When I parked my car in front, the tables outside were occupied and folks were even eating in their car. I placed my order at the counter and lucked out with a table inside. Decorations are sparse but effective with the paces from a very old Life magazine posted on the walls. I ordered today's "special" which was a QUAD burger. Yes, four patties with cheese in between each and LTO. Perfect for my keto diet without the bun. They made a valiant attempt to do it in a lettuce wrap but I was already planning to knife and fork this monster. It was delicious! Wet, messy, very flavorful and the "Nonla sauce" was tasty too. Pickles are a bit spicy but well worth it. Bottled and canned beverages only. I would expect a small joint like this to be cash only but they do accept credit cards through Square. Friendly service, clean restaurant. It's not a "first date" sort of place but it is definitely a hidden gem. [Review 11243 overall, 1019 of 2019.] read more

Great food, great service, great quick spot for lunch! Go here frequently and is always good!

I visited Nolan burger with couple of friends. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with fries. I liked the chicken and how crunchy it was. The bun was ok, but I wasn't a big fan of the pickled veggies inside. I asked to remove it but the staff said it is a good thing to try. I give it 2/5 The fries is very good!! Just the right taste. They use hand cut fries which is the best thing for me. The place is small and cozy, we sat outside the restaurant bcz it was very busy inside. I will come next time and try their cheeseburger. read more

So many people rave about this place so I thought I would try it. The burger I got tasted like the back of the restaurant -- just a hint of musty, dusty plus cleaner of some sort. I don't think anybody did anything bad to the food, just that it picked up an off flavor from being exposed to air in the back. But it was enough to make me not want to go back. Perhaps the one on West Main is better. read more

Parking is limited & difficult and seating is at an uber-premium, but if you're a foodie, or simply just love outstanding food, none of that matters. The hand cut fries are perfectly prepared; soft on the inside with a perfect crunch on the outside & just the right amount of salt. The 'N.B. Double' has all the right stuff plus an extra thick cut onion slice, delicious Nonla Sauce, and well prepared juicy, flavorful angus beef patties. But the real star of the show (IMHO) is the Crispy Chicken Sando "Nonla Way". The fried chicken breast is tender, moist and generous in size. The standard Sando includes pickled veggies and spicy ranch sauce, but "Nonla Way" adds American cheese, grilled onions, jalapeños, cucumbers and cilantro. The 1st bite of this sandwich was a flavor explosion! It puts you on notice that this is not your run of the mill 'crispy chicken sandwich war' entry right out of the gate. From the soft bun & delicious chicken, to the bright & fresh veggies, to the flavor & heat of the jalapeños, I could eat one of these every day (if I didn't live over 2 hours away)! This is a burger joint at heart that is also knocking it out if the park with their crispy chicken sandwich and fries. If you find yourself in Kalamazoo, do NOT skip this spot. If you live near 'The Zoo', get here! read more

Nonla Burger - Crispy Chicken Sando "Nonla Way", N.B. Double - Burgers Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

That's what a haaammburrrggerrs all about..! Oh wait that's In-N-Out's jingle. Born and raised in SoCal, I see the In-N-Out inspo at Nonla Burger but the OG still does it best. In the midwest, my burger standard is Au/Small Cheval - which is also a really great, simple burger - so this joint doesn't quite live up to the hype for me. All the sad faces. We had the: *Hamburger (2.7oz certified angus beef patty on a white bun with lettuce, tomato, onion and our Nonla spread) - My fiance insisted that it tasted pretty similar to In-N-Out. I thought it wasn't quite In-N-Out..but to be fair, my usual order is a Double Double and you can't really compare a hamburger to a double double. Nonla does have their version of the double double though! *Crispy Chicken Sando ("Nonla way" fried chicken sandwich with american cheese, grilled onions, pickled veg, jalapenos, cucumbes, cilantro, and spicy ranch dressing): For the price, this was a great hunkin' piece of fried chicken. It was a wee bit dry. I appreciate the attention to detail though - that toasted bun! *Hand Cut Fries: Back home, the fries are a point of contention at In-N-Out and I gotta give up to Nonla for spending 2 years to perfect this because it's a pretty damn perfect fry. You can't help but appreciate the thin crispness of the exterior and perfect fluff interior. The crispy bits almost remind me of a Lay potato chip & I mean that in the most complimentary way possible because a Lay's chip has been R&D'ed like crazy & it's incredible that a hand cut fry can achieve that level of potato crisp. That's 0/2 on the new Nonla spots for me. I'm going to stick to the OG Non La Vietnamese spot! 320/365 read more

Fantastic cheeseburgers. While it may cost a little bit more, I will drive by the place that has the clown, the guy with the crown, and the chick with the red hair to come here. I do like the original location on Burdick Street a little better than the location on Drake Road . read more

great burgers and fries. a little to small and gets tight in there. But the service is great and will come back!

The food, the service, the staff, have always been amazing. The two restaurants in Kalamazoo are clean and brightly decorated. I love going to nonla, and their chicken sandwich is the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. But I cannot afford $16 for a sandwich, drink and fries from a drive through. Prices used to be reasonable, and quite recently they gave them a big adjustment. I hope they are paying the employees more, and I hope other people can afford $4 fries and $4 pops. I myself cannot any more. I will remember it fondly and miss it dearly. read more

I was in town from California folks . If you're in Grand Rapids, Michigan you must stop by Nonla Burger. Their hot chicken Sando sandwich was the best I've ever had. The burger was amazing! Love the nonla fries. Easily 10/10 it's a must visit! Store was clean and staff was super nice! read more

Very tasty. I'm in town visiting friends this weekend and we stopped here for takeout today. They do have a few small booths but it's more suited for takeout. I had the double cheeseburger minus lettuce and cheese, "Nonla way," which includes a special sauce, jalapenos, cilantro, and grilled onions. I was super curious to see how it compared to In-N-Out; it's similar but a little different. I'd definitely come back here and next time I'd try their fried chicken sandwich - it looks similar to the one at Miss Kim's in Ann Arbor. Their milkshakes are also supposed to be very good. Prices were really reasonable too, I think for two double cheeseburgers and the fries that we split it was only about $11-12. Cute interior, as well, although we did takeout. read more

Wow, they make great burgers, better fries, and I am guessing the shakes will be just as amazing! I tried their Beyond veggie burger wow again, I was raised a lacto-ovo vegetarian, so I enjoy veg and cheese as well as meat and cheese. The veggie burger is done well very well. It is a bit expensive, but defiantly worth a try, if a couple extra bucks does not bother you, for a very convincing veggie burger. I hope to stop back soon a don't try the shakes and the chicken sandwich. read more

I came in with a larger order than usual, needing almost 20 burgers plus fries. The person taking the orders spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to produce such an order and tried to send me to another location for pick up even though I explained, I don't mind waiting. She said they would have to pause DoorDash orders in order to accommodate my order. I'm sorry, is that my problem if I'm willing to spend $200 at your establishment shouldn't I be a priority. After having to call a manager or somebody my order was accepted. it took them all of 15 minutes to cook the food. Why would you cause customers grief when they're trying to spend money at your establishment. Your food is great, but get the Customer Service part down. read more

Yum! I know a lot of people that have mentioned the burgers from this place and have also compared them to Burger Bros. Now that I have officially tried them, I will say, THESE ARE DELICIOUS! I went on a day they had bacon (it's not always on the menu) and it was worth it. Now, yes, the burger patties are thin like you would get at Burger King but the flavor and juiciness of said patty is no comparison. It blew my mind how delicious it was! The fries are meh. Nothing to write home about. read more

Stopped here to pick up lunch while visiting the area. First off, parking here is a nightmare. The parking lot has barely any spots and is such a tight area. We almost left but snagged a spot right when someone was leaving. We ordered the chicken sando sandwich and cheeseburger. The chicken was crispy and tasty. I didnt really like shredded carrots and thought it added a weird taste to the sandwich. The burger was a huge disappointment. The patty was so small. Prices are good but the food was nothing special. read more

In town shopping for the day with my wife for lunch we thought we would try Nola Burgers we love his vietnamese street food place. First parking is a night mare. I ordered a cheese burger and fries , wife ordered a chicken sandwich and fries. $9.00 each. Order came my burger was so paper thin , the onion was twice the size of the burger patty , lettuce was 3 time the size of the patty . Could not taste the meat. Wifes chicken was so tuff it was hard to chew . My bun was dry and hard. The decor consisted of a advertisement pages ripped out of a few old Rolling Stones magazines, hung by paper clips off white peg boards . Not a place I will go back to again when were in town. read more

It is a tiny place, with a very limited menu but what they serve is top notch. You choose between basically a hamburger or a chicken sandwich, and I highly recommend their chicken sando sandwich. It's a beautiful piece of crisp white meat, topped with their swag sauce (a spicy mayo) and sliced carrots. I would have like a few other toppings but I just stole the lettuce onion and tomato from my kids burgers. So my picture of it is not how its served, but man it should be! It was so good. The fries were hand cut and super crisp, they must double fry them or something but together with a side of their spicy mayo, it was amazing. The burgers were fine, not nearly as good as the chicken sandwich. The shake was good likewise. They had two other sides, pasta salad and a salad. It was small for the price. The waitstaff was friendly and patient. It's a simple place, solid, above average food. I wish they served a slightly larger menu with more of their Asian influence, like offering the spicy mayo, or seasoning their fries or iced coffee, or something more that highlights their unique background. I put together a great meal but you have to ask for it. Overall great place to stop in! Thanks Nonla! Looking forward to hitting up your places soon! read more

This little hole in the wall burger joint is exceptional. The choices are limited but all are delicious. There's a single and double beef burger with shredded carrots and cabbage topped with their famous Nonla sauce. Or a big thick battered chicken breast burger also with the slaw and sauce. The fries were great. And we skipped the shake but it looks good too. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. But watch out for the hours. They are only open Tuesday through Saturday, and only from 11:30 AM until 8:30 PM. But it's worth the effort. read more
