What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Nonla Burger is a highly-rated spot in West Michigan, praised for its consistently delicious and well-crafted burgers, unique sandwiches, and outstanding daily specials. While many commend the quality of ingredients, friendly service, and overall taste, some diners have noted concerns about rising prices and occasional inconsistencies in food preparation.
"My husband and I drove from Battle Creek to go to Trader Joe's and we decided to explore places around there and we came across Nonla Burger. I got the BBQ Chicken Club Sandwich Meal that came with fries and a drink. I also tried their Nonla secret sauce to dip my fries in and it was soooo good!!!!! Highly recommend. It was $20 for the meal since I tipped them like 3 dollars so its around $17 for the meal. It was really filling and delicious. The staff was really nice and fast."

"Genuinely one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. I snapped this photo of my burger before I ate. Wow. Tasted as good as it looked too. The fries are crispy and seasoned perfectly.
Food was out in under 10 minutes and good music playing while you’re eating too. I honestly don’t know what more you could ask for in a burger place. I’m not from Kalamazoo, but I know where I’ll be coming for lunch next time I’m here!"
Collin Wever
"Nonla Burger is by far one of the best restaurants in west Michigan.
It’s a very simple menu, but there’s plenty of ways to elevate your order. We’ve tried everything on the menu and nothing has disappointed us. We eat there all the time because we see their specials for the day on Facebook or Instagram and can’t resist going to try it. And there’s not a single special that hasn’t been out of this world.
The food is amazing and it’s consistent. Consistent portion, consistent flavors, consistently outstanding specials and consistent quality.
The service is always wonderful too. They’re friendly, they’re timely, they’re knowledgeable, and when you want to make your order your own creation — they’re happy to oblige and don’t make it feel like you’re inconveniencing them by doing so. For example, sometimes my husband wants just a good, simple chicken sandwich. Chicken, mayo, and lettuce. While that’s not on the menu, and they have to modify the order on their system quite a bit, they’re always happy to do so and check with you to make sure you’re getting exactly what you want.
I will add that if you don’t like a lot of onion - order light onion on your burger. You get an entire horizontal chunk of an onion, not just a couple rings. I personally LOVE onion, so give me all the onion, but if you don’t like onion that much just order a little less :) or get it on the side so you can add your own!
Put simply:
Specials - amazing. Every single one of them
Milkshake of the day - always amazing
Burgers - delicious. Perfectly cook, excellent portion, and keeps you coming back for more
Chicken Sando - unique, delicious, perfectly cooked every single time
Hot chicken Sando - INCREDIBLE, and usually my go-to order. The house made pickles that come on it are outstanding. If you’re on the fence about spice, be cautious. It’s so delicious, but it’s chili based so it’s definitely got a kick.
BBQ Chicken Club - get it with grilled chicken, get it with friend chicken, either way it’s delicious.
Wings - SO GOOD
Brussel sprouts - addictive
I have the biggest folder of Nonla Burger food pics on my phone, and post about them constantly because it’s that good. Don’t walk, RUN to give Nonla Burger a try if you haven’t already!!! :)"
