Fresh Food. Bold Flavors. A Whole Lot of Turbo.

Welcome to Turbo Chicken, a locally owned and operated restaurant in Portage, Michigan, where comfort food gets a creative twist! Founded by husband-and-wife team Mark and Kassidy Nieuwenhuis, Turbo Chicken is built around a love of great food, unique flavors, and doing things a little differently. We’re proud to bring fresh, scratch-made food to the Portage and greater Kalamazoo community, serving up everything from handcrafted chicken sandwiches and crispy chicken tenders to juicy burgers, loaded tots, and signature house-made sauces.
 

At Turbo Chicken, we believe good food shouldn’t be boring. That’s why we start with fresh, never frozen chicken, create our own recipes, and put care into everything that comes out of our kitchen. Our menu combines familiar comfort food favorites with unexpected ingredients, creative flavor combinations, and bold sauces that make every bite memorable. Whether you’re craving a classic fried chicken sandwich or something completely different, there’s always a reason to come back for more.
 

Locally Owned. Community Focused.

As a family-owned restaurant in Portage, MI, we’re proud to be part of the community that supports us. From busy families looking for an easy dinner to local businesses ordering lunch for the office, we love being a place people can count on for fresh food and friendly service. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch, grabbing takeout on the way home, or ordering catering for your next celebration, our goal is simple: make great food and make your day a little better.
 

More Than Just Chicken.

While chicken might be in our name, there’s a whole lot more happening at Turbo! Our menu features handcrafted burgers, wraps, loaded tater tots, fresh salads, family meals, and plenty of options for different tastes and appetites. We also love getting creative with weekly specials, introducing new sandwiches, unexpected flavor combinations, and limited-time dishes that keep things interesting.

We’re not your average chicken restaurant, and that’s exactly how we like it.
