People say this place is cheap. If your idea of cheap is twenty dollars per person with tax and tip, then, I agree. For Kalamazoo, a lunch that costs 15 dollars is really expensive. So what do you get for that? Well, we were the only people in the restaurant, so the service isn't bad. The meal starts with warm... more
