We made a happy and delicious discovery at Kitchen Proper after a 45 minute wait at another local restaurant sent us looking for something local, and quick. Even though we didn’t have a reservation, we were seated quickly by the smiling and friendly hostess. They said the menu changes

Lovely restaurant! We made reservations (would recommend, they were very busy) and we were seated in the back. Not a great seat, next to the restroom in the back with nothing to look at but a very narrow aisle so would recommend you ask to be put in the main area if at all possible instead of sequestered in the back. But given how busy they were, we figured any seat was better than none! The waitresses were a bit scattered (took a few minutes for someone to great us at the door, another few minutes for them to figure out where to seat us, but overall their attitude was kind and attentive once we had a seat).

A great restaurant offering seasonal dishes sourcing quality local ingredients. Cream of mushroom soup was fantastic as was my chicken marsala entree. Had a good selection of wines and bottle beer. Menu was smaller but had a wide variation. Alexis our server did a great job answering questions and offering options. Had a slight issue with an outdated wine list, she came back with a similar wine as a sample due to my original order being unavailable. I marked down the atmosphere one star due to the lights in the entire restaurant frequently changing brightness. The kitchen is in clear view of the dining area, I thought it was a neat concept not often seen in smaller venues. Can’t wait to go back again soon.

this place made my first anniversary amazing! the server was super attentive, detailed in the menu descriptions, and friendly. I enjoyed my malbec, and the chicken Marsala was the best I’ve ever had. it may also be the best pasta dish I have eaten out. I loved everything about this place and can’t wait to come back.

Carbonara and duck breast entrees were perfect. Bone marrow starter was different but perfect. Drinks were good and dessert was amazing. Kitchen Proper really made our 2nd anniversary a memorable one. We’ll be back more often and every year after

The wait staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Good martinis. Excellent selection of unique dishes to choose from. We had the crispy portobello fries, and they were delightful! (The only thing I can say about the fries is that the lemon wedge should be cut and placed on the rim of the sauce.) The pork belly salad wedge was such a surprise, not only for the fact that it was offered but for the fact that the pork belly was actually cooked correctly. This is something I have not found cooked correctly at any restaurant I personally have been to yet. The pork tenderloin main entree was almost infused with apple. The Duck was perfectly cooked, and can be cooked to request! If you aren’t sure, go for medium well. Medium allows for some medium rare along the split which is actually a perfect cook. The dessert was a berry cheesecake brulee, and was delicious. The presentation of all items ordered was what I expect, and I hold a high standard! Battle Creek has a new gem and it’s name is Kitchen Proper!

Awesome food and even better service. Try the daily special I had 2 elk lollipops served with creamy Italians grits, Brussel sprouts and chimichurri sauce with a goat cheese crumble.

Brunch on Sundays! I’m so so glad that KP just added a Sunday brunch. What a great addition for downtown Battle Creek. They did a wonderful job with our group of 8. We loved the Portuguese eggs, Eggs Benedict, Bananas Foster pancakes (insane—house made whipped cream!), latkes, pork belly, and brunch drinks. Lots of gluten free options. Definitely call ahead to reserve—all the tables were full.
