    Spicy chicken sando, NB Double, fries
    Katy C.

    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.

    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!

    Perfect!!!  thanks ladies!!!

    Great service and smiles... of course the food is fantastic!!! Convenient location and there's no rush at this location so the food is cooked all the way.

    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.

    The pickles!!

    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!

    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.

    Quad burger at Nonla in Kalamazoo

    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.]

    Ask the Community - Nonla Burger

    Has the restaurant moved from its Burdick at Alcott location?

    no! there are still two locations.

    Where farm do they get their meat from?

    Is this owned by the same folks that own Nonla in Mattawan?

    The head cook of Nonla Vietnamese street food in Mattawan partnered with friends from California to open NONLA Burger. There are rumors of another NONLA restaurant will be opening that is focused on new American cuisine.

    Restaurant Name: The Old goat tavern…read more Dish: pickle chips, BELT, The forty eighty Date Visited:3/15/26 First Impressions: The atmosphere is wonderful it has pick your seat seating a very lovely bar where you can see them make your food multiple TVs to watch the games and a front and back entrance. It's a pretty peaceful college bar next to a really nice coffee shop. Presentation - 10/10 Taste & Flavor - 10/10 When getting food here you can get a good variety of spicy and savory especially when it comes to their burgers their drinks are made with much care. Nothing is too overpowering Portion Size - 10/10 I have a very small stomach so things tend to fill me up regardless however my husband is an endless pit and the burger seemed to fill him up for the time being. Value for your money? I would say you get a good value and a full meal for the price you're going to pay You get good service especially on a Sunday when there's only a very few people in there and you're just trying to relax. ‍ Service - 10/10 The service in overall 10 out of 10 The bartender was extremely friendly kept a decent conversation going & greeted us when we entered, most of the staff is college students so you know they're working hard when it comes to both school and being servers. Overall Rating: 10/10 Final Verdict: The Old goat tavern is by far place I would return to especially for a quick bite and something that's going to kill me up for a cheap price. It's good for a night out on the town or just drinks with friends they have a wide variety of drinks and drafts and a good burger. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven't already they live up to the hype.

My burger has layers of cheese and meat and sauce. Mouth full of goodness. Also my "back forty" burger is only $13. Pretty good deal in 2024. Sides are extra though Sides are not so much, just taste like they are from the freezer and straight into the fryer. Burger is the main character anyway. Drinks are weak, you can probably down a couple mix drinks and still blow below limit. With that being said, this is still a better place to eat and watch a game than BWW.
