I'm hearing that Colonial Kitchen on Drake Road has permanently closed. Not surprising, as prices had gotten really high and there was never anyone in there in recent times. I was there recently on a Sunday at 9:00 am, and there were only two tables, when years ago the place would have been packed at that time of day, with a wait.

Unfortunately, this comes roughly a year and a half after their other location, originally on Westnedge, made the announcement that they would be closing, leaving only the Drake location standing:

Hello everyone to all my customers in Portage with big sadness and very hard decision for me after 13 years I have close the Restaurant do to economy being down always struggling with us getting help. I would like to thank everyone that support us through the years and let everyone know that we are still open at 330 Drake Rd location in Kalamazoo. We’re open Tuesday through Sunday 7-am till 1- pm come on in and join us we sure appreciate your support. Thank you

No official announcement has been made yet by the owners, but we wish them luck in the future, whatever they decide to do next.
