Battle Creek Restaurants

Battle Creek, MI, may be known to many as “Cereal City,” but its cuisine goes far beyond breakfast. American fare is well-represented with dishes of tender ribs, Kansas strip steak, and barbecued pork. Served with a heaping side of steak fries or burnt ends potato, it's not hard to see why barbecue is a local favorite. More casual dining options can also be found in eateries specializing in lighter fare. Subs and grilled cheeses are easy to find, but more offbeat selections, including a spicy chicken satay sandwich made with chicken that’s been marinated in curry, are not hard to find. Bistros specializing in Italian and Mediterranean food, such as zesty pasta ragout and chicken kabob served alongside a hearty lentil soup, also abound in Battle Creek. You can also find halal, vegetarian and gluten-free dishes fairly easily.
