full city cafe

best breakfast. full city (portage) and food dance are my favorites for breakfast. a wide variety of omelet options, a couple great mexican inspired items, and a pretty solid biscuits and gravy offering. i'm disappointed with their coffee but their high-end tea (harney & sons) makes up for it. great, friendly service. not the cheapest, but the quality and unique items make me feel better about it. for lunch, vegetarians & friends should try their house made black bean cake - excellent!

mothers day!!. wow!! i was definitely amazed at some of these reviews i read on how they had a bad experience. mine was quite pleasant. i brought my mom, my aunt and my picky 5 year old daughter and everyone enjoyed it! my mom (who is the hardest person to please) actually ate 2 plates full and had no complaints. i thought the prime rib was awesome! the food was pricey but considering we had everything from prime rib, omelet stations, and all sorts of desserts, i got what i paid for. i love how everything is very fresh and all the meats are bought locally. thats a major plus! the best part of our meal was when the owner keith came over to our table to ask how everything was. that was my first time meeting him and he was such a nice down to earth guy! he seemed very social. our waitress kendra was a very personable waitress as well. we need to clone her. she was quick, spunky, and just a pleasure to be around during our stay. request her when you go in!! good job everyone at full city. we come in every thursday night for free appetizers and every sat morning for breakfast! see you next thursday!!!!

dissappointing mothers day. very unhappy with full city. called a week in advance to make reservations for mothers day for 9:30 am and was not seated until 10:15. was not informed that there would only be a buffet and no menu while i was making the reservation. good selection of food at buffet but fold was warm/cold. waffles were hard, meat was cold, pancakes mushy, etc... everything else was finger food and not breakfast at all (chicken nuggets, mac n cheese, enchiladas, etc...) and to top it all off, the buffet cost $25.99 a plate and was not posted anywhere in the restaurant (gee...i wonder why) buffet was more like a $9.99 buffet at best. $125.00 for 4 people and a very sub-par buffet was greatly disappointing and definitely will keep me from visiting again.

had the vegetarian quesadilla which was fresh and yummy. wish they had more vegetarian choices other than salad. but over all a good experience.

definitely one of the best breakfast/brunch/lunch places in kzoo-portage, hands down. consistently fresh, imaginative, delicious offerings, often with a flair of something mexican or asian running through the menu. terrific benedicts, omelettes, quiches, and speciality items. some vegetarian choices, too, and quality baked goods and excellent coffee and other coffee drinks. service is also consistently great here - they clearly do a really good job with training their staff.

a pretty ordinary place, atmosphere bright not intimate and menu solid but not special, eg my salmon was overlooked. more of a breakfast lunch place than a destination for dinner. no alcohol btw.

i like this place, a little pricy, but that is never anything that will make me run screaming. quiet, friendly service. a nice place to grab some food, perhaps my next spa day.

the vegetarian delight is fabulous.

a little disappointed,which is a shame because i love the idea of this place. my service was not great. it was kind of an awkward array of different servers getting me things once i asked for them. on friday during lent in a christian town, i was hoping one of the soups would be meat free, but they weren't. my food was ok, it looked better than it tasted. i ordered the veggie quiche. the french fries were hot and tasty. my coffee was the best part. it was awesome, however, getting a refill was more difficult than a coffee lover hopes it to be. is give it a second chance, but with great apprehension.

admin assistant. we had keith and lisa cater a large event for us. the service was fantastic, the food was great. white glove treatment and nice people! it was a busy day of catering for them but they were calm, cool, collected and they brought a special feel to our event.

salmon burger full city--yum. attending class on campus on saturday heard about the salmon burger so on our lunch break we ran out there. arrived disappointed it wasn't on the weekend menu. we asked our server if we could get one and she asked. we were served with the most delicious salmon burger i've ever eaten. it was crisp, yet very juicy, the bacon completely induced the salmon succulence. one good word yum two good words total yum!!

terrific menu! wonderful service! we will definetly return again! get there early on sundays to beat the church crowd.

gross, the house smoked salmon was too salty to eat and the rest of the food made my stache hurt! the kids pancake was way overpriced! choose somewhere else to eat.

always pleased. i have loved everything i ever ordered here. full city used to be a regular lunch stop for me when i worked in the area. unfortunately, i don't work there any longer and one of my regrets about that is that i don't get to eat at full city very often anymore!

disappointing.... we've eaten at full city several times, usually for lunch. it's been generally a good experience. however this time we stopped in for dinner rather than going down to fieldstone or another local eatery. the meatloaf was reasonably good but not memorable enough to order again and my partner's pork chops were a disappointment. the potatoes were bland and tasteless and the chops were dry and tough - overcooked. one had so much gristle it was virtually inedible. we'll give fcc another try but if there is a repeat performance..i'm afraid it'll be crossed off my short list of places to eat. february 2012

breakfast skillet special. wait staff was very friendly. pleasant atmosphere and surroundings. food was not offered on a sizzling skillet but served in a small plate. vegetables were minced and not chopped. nothing special in the flavoring of the skillet dish with spices or herbs. nice fresh pumpernickel toast. bottom less coffee. a little pricey for what is offered compared to other breakfasts available in kzo. the management does a marvelous job at marketing their restaurant through a number of gimmicks. the pumpkin pancakes were only so so. this is a well run restaurant and the people who serve you care about the patron. nothing really special about the food though.
