WACO Kitchen

"Waco Kitchen is a hidden gem in Battle Creek that you need to check out if you’re just passing through. The planes fly by in a quiet airport styled restaurant with a savory and fresh menu. I came here with my goblin friend and we had such a nice time. I ordered the Chicken Picatta and it slapped. They have a catered and welcoming menu. Try anything, I bet it would please you. Would come back!"

"This was my second visit to WACO Kitchen, and it won't be my last. I'd recommend a reservation, especially for balcony seating. The entry area is covered and there is plenty of handicap parking. There is an elevator to the second floor. Our party included a small wheelchair and there was plenty of room to maneuver between tables. The service was excellent. Six of us had five different meals and everyone loved the fresh food and variety of offerings. My only complaints were that they didn't have enough of the delicious pre-meal rolls for our entire table, and one of their few desserts, chocolate cake, was also "not ready". We were dining mid-afternoon, so these were unexpected shortages. The balcony seating allows you a view of the small planes taking off and landing. My first visit was a sunny summer day, and the balcony was completely opened along the runway side mid-meal. It was a pleasant surprise to dine with the planes flying and the fresh air. There is a bar available. I highly recommend WACO Kitchen."

"Enjoyed a Saturday lunch here. Not much to see as the runway was quiet but the food was excellent. Took away a star for not making sure our glasses were full but other than that the service was good. Hopefully we will be able to try the cocktails next visit as none were offered this time."

"Great food with a great view. Unassuming location in an industrial area next to Battle Creek’s airport. We witnessed a small plan pull into the restaurant to grab a bite. Cocktails were classy. Apps were delicious. Entrees were simple yet amazing."

"Such a great find, with views overlooking the runway and into their hangars. Everything about the restaurant was thoughtfully designed/selected, from the interior design to the menu and to the dishware. The food was amazing as well (even their free bread to start is really good), and the service was great. Will definitely come back next time I'm around, and highly recommend if you're ever in the area!"
