Fantastic fried chicken! It was crispy and the seasoning was just right. The dinner came with 4 pieces of chicken, so we've got some for tomorrow. Dibs!

Pop's was simply awesome. We had the fried chicken and the shrimp po' boy. Both were amazing. In all honesty, the chicken was probably the best fried chicken I've ever had. The sides were also outstanding. It was one guy doing everything, and he managed to do it successfully. Couldn't ask for better. We will definitely return to Pop's. So happy to have another great restaurant in our town.

Came to Lansing to stay in cabin for our anniversary. We order steak dinners and they did not disappoint. Steaks cooked perfectly and sides were absolutely amazing! Super friendly service! We will definitely order here again when we come back this way. Thank you ? ❤️

Pop's is a unique eatery, both for the food, and for Pop himself. The menu isn't huge, but it touches all of the food categories and consists of items not normally seen in rural Iowa. Here's the current menu, but what I find interesting thus far are the several sides shown in the lower left. Grilled veggies and fried cabbage may sound boring, but they're both surprisingly tasty. I've also tried the burger, chicken sandwich, and gumbo, all of which were excellent. Pop is a sharp, interesting fellow who has been in the restaurant business since his early teens and has lived and worked in several mid-western cities.

The chicken tenders and waffle was great; the chicken tenders were done perfectly. We also had catfish nuggets, which were wonderful. The french fries are perfect too! I'll be back.

The food was very good.The chicken was cooked perfectly. Could tell that everything was homemade. The place was busy and only one worker but he kept up the best he could and did a great job. Definitely recommend and will be going back.

Food here is exceptional. Good cooking takes a little time, but totally worth it. I have never tasted better chicken anywhere. The coleslaw is homemade and delicious! Taking home the cheesecake with strawberries was a great touch to the meal. Staff is friendly and a great addition to this downtown. I will keep returning.

What a treasure it is to have an old school soul food restaurant in Lansing. We’ve been there twice so far. The chicken is the best we’ve had, as was the shrimp po boy and the Mac and cheese. The real deal. The food was a little slow coming out, but definitely worth the wait. The staff were friendly and attentive. Pops took the time to chat us up. I’m sure we’ll be regulars.

Service sucked.. took an hour and ten minutes to get our food .. waitress blamed it on chicken takes along time (it was just chicken tenders that were thin) when others who walked in after us were served before us that also had chicken. French fries were undercooked.. very soggy chicken sandwich was overcooked and dry.. had to go ask for the rest of our meal that didn’t come out….wont be back that’s for sure!
