Restaurant Description

The Saloon doors of Zeb’s Trading Company, located at Texas Corners in Kalamazoo, swung open for the very first time in 1996. The Casual Dining Restaurant provided a much needed watering hole and gathering place for those brave, adventurous souls...

We have always been pleased with Zeb's food and service. Their specials are great. Also try the soup - it is a treat!

Worst sandwich (wrap) ever! Ordered the pesto wrap. Tasteless. A tiny amount of ranch dressing and no pesto that I could discern. Utterly flavorless with plain chicken, plain lettuce and a minimum of other vegetables wrapped in a pain tortilla wrap. I mentioned that there was no pesto in the pesto wrap to the waitress, and she said she was going to talk to the chef, but I didn't even get a break on the price. What a rip off! I guess if it isn't obscene amounts of beef, this restaurant has little to offer. Very disappointing lunch.

Have dined here with my family and grandchildren and have received excellent service. Their menue has great selections and the portions are more than ample, very tasty, and for the children, excellent. I've never have had a complaint.

Zeb's has been my go to place for years. Whenever my family or friends come into town thats where I take them. I know that the food is going to be fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. The bar is a fun place to go after work with my co workers. Zeb's has a good draft selection. Their Tuesday drink special is the best one around. $1.75 mexican beer and $2.00 Margaritas! You can't beat it!

We have been dining at Zeb's for at least 10 years. We've always received great service and value for the money. Their onion rings are fantastic! You can ask for the ranch dipping sauce or something a bit milder.

The appetizer menu has 20 different items which includes a starter combo. The burgers are among the best in town.

The portions are huge and have always been hot when brought to our table. They have adequate seating for non-smokers and the bar area is partitioned pretty well. Still, you have to walk though the smokey bar area to get to the restrooms.

Zeb's is located in the heart of Texas corners easily accessed at "Q" (Centre Ave) and 8th Street.

I miss John as the Manager. He would always make sure that everything was done right and he actually cared how our dinning experience was going. I will still frequent Zeb's but it is just not the same!

I had a issue with my prime rib and the male manager came over and corrected it with out question. He was very nice and professional. My husband and I have been coming for years and the level of service is better now then it was a year and a half ago. My husband said that they "finally have someone here that knows what they are doing" We love this restaurant and will be coming back.

My husband and I love eating at Zeb's. Everything is made from scratch and it shows! The food is wonderful and it's a great place to have a romantic dinner - the tables always have a lit candle at night.

Be CAREFUL of their specials!!! We took my parents out to dinner this week for what we were hoping would be a nice dinner to thank them. Our waitress was not very nice, and took FOREVER to take our order. She did not have a very nice disposition- she seemed very snotty- she was obviously a college student that had better places to be at the time and did not want to be there. After we were done eating and asked for boxes for leftovers, we told her we were ready for the bill. It took her over 20 minutes to bring us our bill. It was Tex-Mex night, and of the people with us, we ordered nachos, quesadillas and a burrito that were all Tex-Mex. When she finally brought the bill, they did not take off the bill for the Tex-Mex specials. The special is supposed to be 1/2 off a Tex-Mex menu item with purchase of another and 2 drinks. We all ordered drinks. When we received the bill, they did not take off for it at all. I waited another 20 minutes for the waitress to come back just to tell her it was wrong and also have her knock off $1 for the guacamole we ordered but never recieved. When she came back, she had only taken $1.50 off the order!!! All of the items we ordered, the cheapest Tex-Mex item was $8.50, so that should have been at least $4.25 off the bill, not $1.50!!! At that point I was so angry that I walked myself up to the bar and talked to the manager about it. Her response was: "There was an order for a CHILDREN'S taco on your bill, since that was the lesser of the Tex-Mex items, we took it off that". Half off a children's item???? That is NOT what they should do for a special!! I told her so and she asked if I felt it was fair----NO WAY!!! So she finally took another measly $2 off the bill. She felt there was NOTHING WRONG with doing that, and didn't even apologize. I told her that we will NEVER be back, and told her that everyone will know about it. BE FOREWARNED!!!!!!!!!
