Mannnnnnn.. I am a truck driver and my wife and I are originally from Texas! So when it comes to food we are some big foodies,,, When I tell you everything that we ordered was the BOMB.COM!! 👨🍳 💋.. absolutely delicious! Especially the gumbo greens! Never had anything like it!! 😋😋… definitely putting this in my top favorite food spots and will be coming back! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🔥💯
five stars all around for my experience today! dined in for lunch and ordered two combos of catfish nuggets. they ran out of the nuggets and apologized and replaced one combo with filets, the gentleman also brought us fresh cornbread for the inconvenience. food was amazing and very welcoming place!
A cultural staple a place as a black American I feel safe and at home. Playing old school and new school jams from my culture just makes the food taste that much better. I'm traveling from Naples Florida nothing in Naples comes close to the flavors coming from Ty's Joint. Steak was fully cooked that melted in my mouth! my childrens steak chicken and shrimp was great! we got great portions. even had enough to share with a coworker and she said she stopped by the next day. waited a lil minute to receive the food but man it was worth it. Ty's Joint doesn't serve alcohol but honestly I respect that. keeping our neighborhood sober is wonderful. Ty is a class act very humble kind and straight forward. Ty was a great example to my son to the possibilities for him to achieve great things. the waitresses with the beautiful ponytail and the waitresses with the beautiful blue hair thank you for your awesome customer service and being so kind and beautiful ❤️ this place is a 10/10
Everytime I come I have such a great experience... food always good and fresh... Tyrone is a great business owner and an amazing role model for the community. If you havent came in... I do suggest to give him a try... catfish and macaroni is my go to meal. You will not be disappointed...
So good! I ordered perch onion rings and okra, husband ordered pork chop w okra and Mac and cheese...was delish! We even had leftovers. Friendly staff and decent prices. Will definitely return! I noticed people complaining about the wait... Well, when you make stuff fresh, it takes a minute... There was a bit of a wait for the food but I didn't mind because it was served up fresh hot and delicious. I'd rather wait a little bit than have something sitting under a heat lamp.
Send Help, I’m in a Soul Food Coma! If joy had a flavor, it would taste like the YAMS from Ty’s Joint! I came in sweet and left even sweeter because let me tell you, the yams were so good I almost proposed. The cornbread? Fluffy enough to use as a pillow (yes, I considered it). And the Kool-Aid? That magical red kind that instantly takes you back to your grandma’s porch in July. But let’s talk desserts because if you’re a sweets kinda girl like me, this place is dangerous. I don’t know if it was the banana pudding milk cake, lemon # cake, cornbread or both, but I’m now emotionally attached. Ty’s Joint is not just food it’s a soul-hug. Run, don’t walk, but maybe wear stretchy pants. Super nice owner and staff, when I am in town I will come back for sure!! Super clean and easy to clean find!
I slept on Ty's. Don't be like me! Every part of my meal was delicious. The fish was tender and moist, the cornbread was to die for, and the sides were substantial and tasty. I can't wait to try more of the menu 😍
I was very impressed with the atmosphere and then more impressed with the service and food. Food 5, Atmosphere 5, service 5 I couldn’t decide what I wanted so I ordered a combination entree of chicken and fish., a veggie platter with a peach waffle. I was definitely partaking in BIG Back behavior. lol The fish was fried extremely hard. I purchased the veggie platter, which included gumbo greens (no shrimp). This establishment has done really well with their soul food menu! Texture, seasoning and appearance are all 5 and yum
First visit and will absolutely be back!! The catfish, perch, gumbo greens and mac & cheese were all excellent!!! Thank you Ty! Your place really is a hidden gem
I think I’ve just had the biggest and best wings I’ve ever had! They are large and juicy and cooked to perfection! I also had the mac & cheese and it was so cheesey again cooked to perfection! The cornbread was moist and might be the best cornbread I’ve ever had! Hands down one of Kalamazoo’s best hidden gems, I know this will be my favorite new spot and they are on DoorDash! I placed my order pick-up but I did see it! Check them out, you won’t be disappointed ❤️❤️❤️ PS the pic is only one of our meals!
