Started off by having to wait to be seated at lunch due to no staff present in the dining area and an absent minded host. Drinks came and they were watered down (presumably due to nobody changing the syrup boxes although in my experience they must have been out for a long time based on how flavorless my beverage was). Now onto the service and food, Got a chicken sandwich that had guacamole all over the outside of it and a serious lack of effort put into the sandwich in general. I asked for no tomato and got it anyways, the onion was literally just a thick cross section of red onion (way too much for one sandwich), I had a pile of spinach on the sandwich that was as large as the rest of the sandwich put together by the time I remade my own sandwich. Their manager watched me do this and said nothing to me during the entire visit. We didnt see our actual waitress at all after the food came, had to have someone get her just to get our checks and by no means were they busy on any level. All around I would say dont waste your time or your money, these people do not deserve it in an industry that is bursting at the seams with competition.. they do absolutely nothing to ensure your visit is any different than going to McDonalds and if I managed there I would be ashamed.

Ive eaten there a handful of times now, making sure I sample different items from the menu. So far I have been impressed every time, whether it be a signature entree, or a burger at lunch, its all great. you can tell care is given in the kitchen. Wait staff is on point and the dining area is very well kept. I have not been up to the bar yet, but I have ordered a few drinks made at the bar and they too have all been on point. If youre in Portage, MI try this place.

We went Sunday night about 8pm Not busy but our waiter kept disappearing. I can have empathy when you are busy, when you have one other table, not so much. I ordered a New York Reuben and it had NO flavor, was greasy and soggy, would have returned it but, again, you had to find a waiter to do so. My companions Ultimate burger was better, but not much, I ended up with tummy issues in the middle of the night. We did learn where NOT to eat

I live near by the restraunt and always ordered the traditional Buffalo wings because we are on the Atkins diet. When they messed up the order by putting bbq sauce on them, they decided that recoating the wings with Buffalo sauce was a sufficient resolution. The service there sucks. Their food is mediocre at best and I wouldnt spend a dime there. Kalamazoo is full of great pubs and eatery... No need to give this place a chance.

Went in to have a beer and appetizer. Waited more than 5 minutes while the bartender was talking to a friend. When she did take my beer order her friend came and stood next to me as they continued the conversation. A beer that was supposed to be clear was hazy and had off flavors. The bartender was too busy talking to her friend to offer me a menu.

I always want to support the non-chain restaurants. I order the Gorgonzola Ribeye Steak. Comes with only one side. If you want a salad it is extra. When you get a steak dinner you should get a salad, vegetables, and a potato. Not the case at Lodo Company. Steak was excessively fatty and chewy to boot. Not going back.

Decent place overall, but service falls completely apart when its busy, and my garden burger was served cold in the middle. The entire dining room seemed to be served by one person. I think its time for LoDo to shut. Portage needs a new industrial bar. 20 years ago I guess this place was okay.

Ordered chicken parmesan. That was not what I was expecting. The Pasta was bland. The chicken was very chewy. My wife had fish and chips. The fish was very greasy. The fries were good tho.

Great food and drinks but it can be a little noisy at times. The staff and management is very friendly. This is a great place to have group meetings as well.

Menu was fantastic and the wait staff was courteous and timely. New ownership has made the necessary improvements, I will be back as often as I can!

Love the turkey burger here. I miss it so much. Stay away from the pizza, its rubbery and gross and really only on the menu for kids.
