    Anyone see carrots in this entree??  Ample Pantry insists they're there!!

    What a bummer. I remember Ample Pantry from my youth and it's definitely not the same business it used to be. Prices are extremely high and portions are very small and inconsistent. We ordered a pot roast dinner and a baked salmon dinner and picked them up. When I got home, I noticed the pot roast had four pieces of potato and a couple pieces of pot roast, but no carrots or any other vegetables. (see photo) I went to the website to see the meal description and saw that it did say it included carrots. I called to let them know, that a mistake was made, but instead of accepting it and apologizing , they said to look around because the carrots were in there! They definitely were not "under" anything or mixed in. I worked in catering at Pfizer for many years, and I know when an ingredient is missing!! I didn't want anything, didn't want a discount or a free meal. Just wanted to let them know that for the price they charge, the entrée should be as described on their website. It wasn't. The salad was fresh, the pie was good and the rolls were very good too. Just not worth $20 price of the entrée. We could go to Carrabbas or any number of local great restaurants and pay much less. It's a shame. This place will definitely go out of business soon with this kind of customer service and these kind of prices. There's much too much competition in local restaurants with better food, better prices, and better service. We will never, ever order from them again. Ample Pantry, DO BETTER!!!

    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.

I added our total up and it should've been 42.98 based off of their menu prices but they add a 4% operating surcharge. Insane in my opinion. Lost our business for sure. It's not the customers responsibility to pay your employees.

    600 is such a cute place for a lovely meal!…read more We have been multiple times but stopped in on a recent sunny afternoon for some lunch. 600 is so light and airy, we really love the atmosphere!! We had a really great waitress, I wish I would have gotten her name! She was doing the job of hostess and waitress to multiple tables, and doing it all very well! We ordered a chicken sandwich and a salad for our lunch entrees! Both were very good and presented very well! While the food is good and quality feels high - the price is also on the high side. For a sandwich and a salad, waters to drink, we spent over $50 for our lunch! Just something to be aware of! While we had time - the experience was not fast. Something to be aware of if needing a quick lunch. The restaurant was not overly busy but the wait was a little long to receive our order. I ordered a salmon salad - the menu nor the website specify if the salmon is wild caught or farmed. I would really love to know this information - the price would be much better reflected if it were indeed wild caught. :)

The steaks were cooked well and tasted great. We also really enjoyed the bread and dips, which were a nice way to start the meal. At the beginning of our visit, it felt like the waitstaff wasn't fully prepared to accommodate a larger group, and service was a bit slow. However, they seemed to adjust as the evening went on and did a much better job taking care of us later. The ramen was just okay and didn't stand out compared to the other dishes we tried. Overall, the steaks, bread and dips made the meal worthwhile. While there were some service hiccups at first, the staff recovered well, and we left having enjoyed our experience.

Unfortunately, when we visited this most recent time, the market was not working so I ordered a flight with my dinner. It did eventually start up as we were getting ready to leave, and everything was super high so we didn't participate in the fun. I ordered the Honey Chicken sandwich with the cheese curds and it was honestly delicious. The chicken was good and a perfect blend of savory and sweet, the sandwich came with lettuce, freezer pickle and ranch. The cheese curds were surprisingly some of the best I've had and were perfect with a bit of ranch. I'd have the meal again and hopefully next time, the exchange is up and running! :)

I was really excited they had some gluten free drink options on the menu! I got a seltzer for my first drink (delicious) and a cider for my second. My sister was having fun watching the prices shifting and trying to decide what to get. I was starving, so I also got a sandwich on a gf bun. It was delicious. The chips were great too and our bartender suggested we get their french onion dip too. Also delicious. The service was great and friendly and the vibe overall was really enjoyable. Don't often head out to Kalamazoo, but would definitely stop by again if I was in the area!
