Note: This is a Breakfast & Lunch place only. They close at 3pm most days. The service here is excellent, and the food is a new twist on old favorites. I especially like the pineapple burger. It has a serrano pepper sauce that adds a kick to complement the sweet tang of the pineapple. They also have a variety of vegetarian and vegan offerings. The decor is pleasant, with an old 'mom 'n pop' feel to the furniture. They have art from local artists for display (and sale) on their walls. I'll have to stop by the place for breakfast one of these days. The pineapple French toast sounds quite interesting... read more

Small but local quaint in a good way. Food was decent, service was good but she was hustling many tables. A safe bet for downtown breakfast.

First time trying studio grill. Pancakes were great and were very large. Coffee was not the best. Wife had the stuffed French toast and it was really good. I would go again. read more

I have never left there hungry and the help are all great people never a issue with any of them.

One of the best spots for breakfast in Kalamazoo! Right in downtown Kalamazoo so that city vibe is really there

Went there for a unit staff lunch, and everything was great! We made a reservation and pre-ordered, everything went amazingly smoothly. They had out spot saved (a BIG table during the lunch rush!), quickly dropped off drinks and food a few minutes after arriving, and checked in on us and cleared quickly. They had our individual checks ready to go as well. The service was outstanding. I had the more olive burger, which was amazing. As an olive lover (okay, and burger lover...), I can never get enough olives. The burger really had a homemade- not frozen- taste. Fries were great too. i can't wait to come back and try more of the unique burgers, plus onion rings! read more

WOW-WOW-WOW!!! Words can't even begin to describe their hamburgers!!! Hands down these are the "BEST" hamburgers ever! Absolutely to die for!! If you are looking to eat a mouth watering delicious hamburger this is your place! My first bite was like an explosion in my mouth of the greatest hamburger I have ever eaten!! Thick and juicy! Grilled to perfection, outrageously flavorful and piled high! Their hamburgers stand out way above all others!! Exquisite!! Customer service was outstanding. Manger even came by our table to check on us and make sure everything was ok. Amazing doesn't even begin to describe just how good these hamburgers are. It's a powerful hamburger so watch out you will be hooked! It's a shame I live in Texas .... too far way from a hamburger that is out of this world!! read more

I am in town for the day and hungry for breakfast. A good breakfast that won't break the bank. I check Yelp out and find the Studio Grill. It is small simple 7 or 8 tables and a small counter. You will wait on a Sunday morning. There is no room rally so they ask you to wait in the bookstore. They will come over and call your name when it is your time. I had a build your own omelette for a good price it includes three choices. Additional items are sixty cents each. I added two buttermilk pancakes my total bill $16 out the door. They were going to sit me at the counter but the people were in trenched. So they put me at a four top. Great service great staff and amazing food. Stop in when you are in-town! read more

The food was delicious! Pancakes were wonderfully homemade & tasted wonderful. Friendly & fast service!

This place is probably deserves 5 stars but I struggle to find a lot that I truly enjoy here. But the things I do enjoy are delicious. All my friends and family rave about this place and I totally see why, but maybe I'm just too lucky or go at the wrong times. Overall it's clean, great management and delicious food. read more

I love this place. The staff is wonderful and the food is terrific. If you are vegan or vegetarian they have a lot of options for you to eat. Try their burgers and onion rings! Breakfast is phenomenal.. Mmm pancakes! Also they have coffee options. I always get a chai latte that serves me well. read more

Special place. Vegan selections and other great breakfast items. Blueberry pancakes were yummm! You want breakfast in the Kazoo this is the place. read more

The food was excellent served hot and fresh. The fries didn't not taste old.and greasy. Fresh buns and good burgers. The atmosphere is laid back, picnick table clothes line the tables. There offer hand packed ice cream in non traditional flavors but we were too full for dessert. Finally our waitress was sweet friendly and on point, not too clingy not stand-off-ish either. Over all a good experience! read more

Studio Grill - Avocado burger(back left), barbeque bacon cheeses burger(back right) and blackbean burger(front) - American Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

My girlfriend and I came here in early March 23' and we both got food poisoning from here. She ordered the veggie black bean burger and said it was terrible while I had an Italian sausage omelette that was subpar. Do not come here unless you want wrenching stomach pains. read more

Great local diner. Had an omelet good and inexpensive. Service was very helpful and good. Local people my kinda restaurant.

Our first visit. We had great service. Loved the fries and my wife had the onion rings that were good. The burger was a little overdone but still I thought was a good deal for the price. Loved the atmosphere and will most likely go back to try more of what they offer. Overall a very nice addition to the downtown. read more

Went there for the first time looking for a nice brunch, but ended up having the waitress recommend the Canyon Burger. Jalapeno, egg, cheddar, bacon, and... GRAPE JELLY! Weird, but honestly one of the best, if not the best burgers I've eaten. Also killer fries! Can't wait to come back and try another burger, but hoping that their brunch is good as the burger when I get the chance to go another time! read more

The service was attentive and great. While most people would fimd having to wait for your table in the news/book shop next door annoying, I found it charming. There is a rather limited vegan selection for those of you who care for that, not much but it's there. There are, however, not any gluten free options which was disappointing. But understandable. The food itself was fresh, and quick, and had great flavor. Overall a great meal, just missing a few pieces that pertain to my dietary needs read more

One of my favorite places in Kalamazoo for brunch. They have the best stuffed burgers in town and I love their potato cakes with serrano sauce for dipping. They also have incredible pancakes! The owner is awesome and always walking around interacting with customers. read more

Nice, cozy spot for decent breakfast downtown. The only drawback is the homeless population that may or may not harass you if you eat outside. Great homemade jams. read more

Always a great place to go for breakfast or lunch. Kind of a hidden gem in kzoo. Pancakes, omelette and burgers are amazing. Haven't tried anything else as I always get one of these three. read more

I'd heard many, many, many people talking about this place and how great it is. I've actually passed this place so many times downtown. One day I finally got the opportunity to check it out. We were seated immediately which surprised us because the place was PACKED! Everyone was present for their well known stuffed burgers. This burger was everything I could want in a burger. It was stuffed, juicy, and huge! My friend ordered a burger stuffed with mushroom and onions! As for me I got a pesto burger! Got all the green without losing any bacon. It was a match made in heaven for me. The only bad thing has to be the hours for me. Most times in the morning to mid afternoon I am busy. And although I'd known about this place for over a year. It took just that much time to get downtown and try it. They certainly have the popularity to stay open longer. But who knows, maybe in another blue moon I can try that amazing burger again! read more

Really nice staff. I've had pancakes both times I've been. The interior is super welcoming and homey. Got to meet the owner once as well. Great place for brunch time. read more

Literally the best burgers in Kalamazoo, and the price is low!! Too bad they close so early.... If you're wondering, yes. You should get the canyon burger. read more

A lovely, relaxed atmosphere with wonderful oil paintings by a local artist on the walls. Wait staff friendly and attentive, especially remarkable when one person is caring for the entire breakfast crowd! Egg and sausage were delicious and perfectly cooked. Fruit on the side was a freshly sliced orange.`Way better than the stale fruit cups you get at some places. I could hear the staff talking and joking behind the counter, so nice to hear their pleasant banter! A great little place. read more

It's a plastic plates kind of place, which sometimes can be hidden gems but the food was meh.

First time coming here. Food was exceptional. We had omelettes and they were delicious. Prices were reasonable. Service was great.

The Stuffed French Toast is very good, but it could use more ham and the cream cheese or whatever they use. They automatically give you water. read more

Our Monday morning breakfast place or burger spot. Cute little spot with a little history behind it. Servers are awesome and the food is INCREDIBLE! The owner connects with his guests. It gives you the feeling he is serving you in his home. I have lived here almost 25 years and just found this great little spot. read more

We were looking for a brunch place and we waited kind of late in the day to start our search so our options were limited. Luckily we found this gem. It boasts the best burger, but the brunch was pretty darn good! For me the very best part was the homemade strawberry jam served with my toast. It was so sweet, I loved it. I added the pancakes to my breakfast and it was a great add on. Some great things: service was quick and friendly, restaurant was clean (a little small), food was delicious and perfectly prepared, parking was free outside, hours were convenient. If I'm back in Kalamazoo I'd like to visit for lunch because the burgers at the next table looked so good! If you're in town and need a quick stop this is the place to go, you won't regret it- just make sure you get the jam! read more

The burgers were delicious but very messy. Dropping all over and had to pull out some stuff to finish eating. Little greasy too. Kids drink was $2.20 for a small cup of 6 ounces. That was hilarious. read more

My husband and I went here on a Sunday Morning and were told it would be a 25 minute wait, we think it was about fifteen, maybe twenty minutes. The food was good, my husband had a burger and cajon fries that he really enjoyed. I had an omelette that had bacon, spinach, olives and feta. Since I am a vegetarian, I asked if I could replace the bacon with mushrooms. Our waitress said sure. When my omelette came it did not have mushrooms in it, and she offered to get me a side of them since she was charging me for them. In my opinion, if you are going to charge extra for a replacement you should tell the customer, it would have been cheaper to build my own omelette, and I would have skipped the olives since I don't like them, although I probably would have picked a different omelette altogether. For my husband, food was 5 stars. For me, food was 4 stars, and the three stars is really for the service. read more

Really good! Just had breakfast at the Studio Grill and really enjoyed it. We had a loaded omelette and it was super tasty. The staff was attentive and polite and the atmosphere very relaxed. read more

If I was able to rate this restaurant as better than perfect, I would. My girlfriend and I have been coming to this restaurant for a few years now and we absolutely love the food every single time and have never been anything less than pleased by the food or service. This is our favorite restaurant in every way. We live in Chicago and have driven all the way to Kalamazoo from time to time just to go to Studio Grill for Breakfast. This place has everything going for it. An absolute gem. The Restaurant even sells art made by local artists if you're into that sorta thing. Very cool. read more

Excellent! Very down to earth and simple but delicious food. We had the autumn burger (stuffed w apples!) and the turkey avocado wrap w onion rings. All delicious. Wonderful service and you can tell the staff cares. Highly reccomend! read more

Studio Grill, I wanted nothing more than to like you. However, it seems like you just weren't feeling the love (this basically could apply to all my relationships, but let's not go there). I came in on a Monday with my mum for lunch and was super excited about the food because my brother had talked the place up beyond comparison. I got the rusty nail burger and I'm not sure it met any of my expectations. Pros: + Great service, super friendly, super polite + Amaze Cajun fries + All their burgers come medium-well + The range of items on their menu! + The pesto burger(!!!) + Gluten-free buns! + Giant portions Cons: - The rusty nail burger was dry #majorsadface - Honestly, for as good as it looked on the menu, it didn't taste great. - The chili was sweet and majorly lacked salt. Bottom line: I think I might have picked the wrong two items on the menu because my mum's pesto burger was amazing. I'll definitely give it another try, but I won't raving about Studio Grill any time soon. read more

We love the Studio Grill in beautiful downtown Kalamazoo! Today we went for breakfast, and although our wait was longer than usual, it was well worth it. My teenage son had the Morning Madness with a pancake on the side and devoured every bit of it. My husband loved the corned beef hash omelette and had leftovers to bring home. My usual breakfast order is their blueberry pancakes, which are always light, fluffy and loaded with juicy berries. We frequently choose Studio Grill for breakfast because of the homestyle cooking and the extremely friendly owners. Every time we've eaten there, Craig and/or Daphney have personally greeted us and asked our opinions on our food choices. We've had equally enjoyable experiences with their award-winning burgers for lunch and often recommend this place to friends and out-of-towners. It's a gem! read more

Mr. MVP and I read and re-read all the positive reviews about Studio Grill on Yelp and were immediately curious about this gluten free, vegetarian, local breakfast spot. When we arrived at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning Mr. MVP decided he was going to try out their award winning burgers, but I planned on sticking with breakfast. The Team VP line had been drawn. We sat down at the bar and I knew we were in trouble when I ordered a cup of coffee and the incredibly friendly waitress could not tell me where their coffee comes from. She did brew me a fresh pot of decaf, however, so that was ultra kind of her. The weird part was when I asked for cream, she handed me one tiny 1/4 teaspoon pack of half and half. When I asked for more, she gave me one more. I actually had to ask for a handful. Apparently at Studio Grill half and half is an expensive commodity. The menu was unique and included items that Team VP would never eat, but must work for Studio Grill. A burger with peanut butter and a burger with grape jam were the two that really stuck out to us. Stuffed burgers seemed to really be popular menu items as well. What was nice about the menu, was that listed between all that weirdness was an option to build your own burger and omelette. As the burgers were listed as made fresh every day and never frozen - the sweet potato fries were also listed the same way - Mr. MVP ordered a burger with an egg and accompanying vegetables. I had an omelette with tomato, green pepper, mushrooms, and mozzarella. My omelette tried. The egg was cooked properly, but the green pepper was mushy. The mushrooms were salty and there were just three small bits of mealy tomato in the entire omelette. The potatoes on the side, which I tasted, but did not eat, were cooked well. Mr. MVP said his burger was okay. Positively not award winning, however. The egg was way overcooked and the bun was obviously not homemade. Although we are certainly more picky than a normal diner, Mr. MVP did comment more than once that the sweet potato fries tasted like they came directly out of the freezer. Remember, Team VP eats a completely organic and preservative free diet, so as I am sitting here writing this review three hours after we ate, my stomach is not happy. Studio Grill is a greasy spoon. Our bill was $20 before the tip, which is actually pretty pricey for a non-organic, non-local meal. I can imagine Studio Grill would be perfect for the early morning crowd fending off side effects of too much alcohol the night before, but for Team VP, we will not be back. read more

Studio Grill is definitely a community gem!! Located downtown, you could almost walk right past it if you weren't paying attention. As soon as you walk in you'll notice the laid back vibe as you're warmly greeted by the staff. The decor is a mashup of old school country kitchen and bohemian art deco, that really works well. Walls are covered with ever changing art from local artists and is for sale! The owners work everyday and are very friendly and accommodating. The staff is all smiles and usually on point! The food! Best. Burgers. Downtown. PERIOD. The breakfasts look fantastic also although admittedly I havent had one yet. They come highly recommended according to my co-workers! Bottom line - you'd be doing yourself a disfavor by skipping this spot. Stop in a make your belly happy!! Try the Bronco Burger!! read more
