50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lansing

“I love their food and sandwiches everything is really good“

“First time Golden Bear in Lansing. The food and service was great. However, when I checked my bank account I was charged $9.98 more then the amount on the receipt I received from the register. When I went back the manager was very nice & helpful. She refunded the $. The restaurant receipt had the same amount. I pulled up my bank account & showed her the amount from my bank. We both thought it was so strange! Maybe the register malfunctioned? Again the manager was awesome!“

“I ate at this Charleys location for the first time in a while and lemme tell you, this place is amazing!!! Seems like new management because the place is ten times better than when I had it before. I ordered a philly steak cheese fries boneless lemon pepper wings and a strawberry lemonade and everything was ON POINT! The service was great too, the manager i believe his name is Jay was really nice and helpful. I noticed they have milkshakes but i had no room for dessert the food is so filling and worth the money, definently want to try that cookies and cream milkshake next time tho :)

Vegetarian options: They have a grilled veggie sandwich that is delicious!

Parking: plenty of free parking“

“Went here for dinner after working nearby. Was looking for something “local” and not a chain. Was definitely happy with our visit.

Our food was excellent as well as the service. The atmosphere was great. It had a “Cracker Barrel” meets “Louisiana BBQ” vibe. One review thought it was dated, and I thought the dining area was nice, yet the bathrooms could use some updating. Not going to fault the place for that - the bathroom is still functional and was clean.

I had the smoked wings, green beans and mashed sweet potatoes, and my fiancé had chicken, mashed potatoes, and collard greens. We shared a key like pie for desserts and brought home a peach cobbler for later, since another diner recommended it.

Would definitely go back.“

“This restaurant is great. Very fast service and generous portions. Lots of easy parking. Prices are very reasonable“

“Food is always excellent!“

“I don’t often leave reviews but this was one of the best meals I have had in a very long time. It was the day before Valentines and it was busy. We were greeted and checked in by what I presume is a son or family member. So polite and attentive even at a young age. Our table wasn’t ready so the hostess personally walked us to the bar. When the bartender was busy the hostess took the time to get us glasses of wine while we waited. Again, it was busy but we sat in beautiful ambience while we waited for our appetizer of hummus, tzatziki and spicy whipped feta (which was my absolute favorite). They also served us bread made in house which was like little bites of heaven. My husband had the avgolemono soup which was uniquely served and delicious. We both got the souvlaki- my husband the chicken and I got the filet. We each tried each others and both were so flavorful. I purposefully did not finish my meal so I could enjoy it the next day as well. We have already discussed what we will try next time we come back, and we will. To sum it up (and I hope google translated it correctly) Katapliktikós (Amazing)!“

“Went for a Father's day meal, it was our first visit and will not be out last. The service, food and Beer were fantastic. Very clean atmosphere and one of the owners ( Al ) was very professional and friendly. Highly recommend it!“

“I went here as a recommendation and came out a huge fan! The sauce is perfect and everything was cooked to perfection! It was even better seeing some of my former students serving and killing it! I truly recommend Lexington Betty Smokehouse!“

“Veal Marsala Alfredo spaghetti soup salad rolls butter absolutely delish, a really good restaurant!!!“

“313 is always a comfortable place. So many good nights there.“

“The selection of drinks here is vast and on point. The staff is knowledgeable and is helpful with choosing the best option. In my opinion, the music area is a little DIY, but i love it. Artists fill the space with music!“

“Hands down the Butter Burger was the best burger I have ever enjoyed, and I have thrown back a few burgers in my time...😎“

“Best Gyro's in town! Generous portions and A great Staff! 5⭐️ Always friendly, welcoming and smiling!! Casual atmosphere and nicely decorated for every holiday! smiling!“

“Bocce league is fantastic!“

“Whenever we’re in the area we go there. I like the shrimp and pizza. My wife likes the chicken. The prices are good. And so is the service.“

“Great BBQ… amazing burgers“

“Tzatziki catered my wedding desserts and they were a hit. Thank you Andreas!“

“Always great food. I have been going there since they were located one block south near the quarry. I worked for Daley’s Ambulance And that was considered our halfway point for medical runs. Best“

“Great ice cream treat!! Coming back to try the cookies!“

“Best pizza around. Great staff and quick delivery. we adore Patsys“

“Here now... great beer... AWEFUL music. Could be an issue.“

“Always a great time with great food, excellent craft beers, and delicious cocktails.“

“Great service from the. Chef and Gustavo server will come back again“

“We ❤️ Thornton Distilling!! We come here regularly and I just realized I've never left a review encouraging others to check it out. The food and drinks are great (obsessed with the lavender lemonade they make in the summer), the bar itself is very cool and historic and their outdoor patio is dog friendly. My husband has done the distillery tour for his bachelor party and thought it was really fun. Highly recommend!“

“this place is amazing! the food is cooked to serve, fresh, and delicious! the staff is so friendly and attentive! And the atmosphere is a blast from the past! John's Blue Top Drive-in is absolutely a must try! you'll fall in love with this place! We did!“

“This place is a casual hang vibe. One tv , it’s not a sports bar. The burgers and chicken sandwiches are phenomenal. The service was top notch. Our waitress answered ever beer question I could. Perfect place for beers with friends or lunch.“

“I had an absolutely FABULOUS Pork Torta yesterday...so darn' delicious that I can't stop thinking about it. You should try one SOON! Waitress extremely friendly/ courteous, and the owner stopped by to chat. The 'Curiosity" reviewer must be thinking of some other place. Will definitely return. LR“

“Went here for a quick dinner, the service is fast, food is good, and the vibe is great! It’s very nicely decorated! Also, we had Bethany as our server, and she is AWESOME! She took good care of us, and was super nice. Give that girl a raise!“

“Love this place, but the dining area is massively reduced (March 2025). Might be just getting worked on (?), not sure, but had family in from out of town that loves this place too and we couldn't fit our group so we had to go somewhere else!“

“Best steak tacos I ever had! Seasoned very well & hot!! This is my only spot for now on because it's DEFINITELY worth the money!!!“

“Nice place, great atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“Very clean place ! Recommend“

“I GO HERE FOR LUNCH MOST DAYS AND IVE NEVER HAD A BAD MEAL! GREAT FOOD AND AWESOME STAFF! ☆☆☆☆☆5 stars!“

“Best nachos. Tacos are great. Burritos we're phenomenal. First timer, I will be back. Customer service was great.“

“Mini blizzards were good. Got Oreo and brown batter.
$4 regular onion rings came with literally only 4 onion rings. $1/ring is crazy so that’s the only feedback. Will say they were nice and crispy tho but still either overpriced, but more likely the gentleman serving out too few on accident.“

“Came in and the place was completely empty, sign said "seat yourselves" it felt kind of awkward but someone came out to greet us a few seconds later. Staff was super friendly and nice! I brought my grandmother and she wanted to split her meal with someone who wasn't able to come to the restaurant in person, so they brought out half of her meal and waited until we were almost done with the other half freshly made and packaged! Lake perch was great! Not like other restaurants that try to serve ocean perch as lake perch. The Nashville hot chicken strips were a little disappointing they didn't have any heat to them, but the chicken was cooked perfectly and the breading was really good so it made up for it! Mac n cheese was delicious, I was even impressed with the fries! None of them were soggy or over salted! I'm sad I couldn't have tried them sooner!“

“The goat of goat tacos!! I've heard alot of people from the region say you have drive to the east side for authentic goat tacos. Not true!!! Right on Gostlin Street in Hammond is some of the most delicious birria you'll ever eat!! Free parking lot but limited number of tables inside!“

“the staff.the food and most of all I will always return..and bring more friends.“

“Really good stuffed pepper soup. Also, when they make it, really good sloppy Joe. They don’t make either often enough for me.“

“Burrito Express is great for take out. It may not have a lot of ambiance but the food is really good amd they are always friendly. I asked for fajitas with no peppers and onions for my son with food sensitivity, and they accommodated us with no issues. The quesadillas are really flavorful and filling. They are a go to for us.“

“Will always be my number #1 chinese spot when I come home because every state I've been to does not have anything that gives me quality besides Indianapolis, so it's a hole in the wall and extremely outdated but still going strong.“

“The place is beautiful and so neat! The staff is friendly and courteous. Our tour guide Kevin, was very knowledgeable about the rich history of the building and area. The drinks & food were delicious! I would definitely recommend a visit here.“

“We always love the food from Cracker Barrel. This last visit was unfortunately not very good. We had to continuously ask for syrup for the pancakes and then when they brought them, they brought the wrong kind as we needed sugar-free by the time they did get it to us pancakes were a little bit better than lukewarm. The eggs were not cooked the way we had asked. The service was very slow and although all this sounds bad, we will of course be going back because most of the time it’s good service and good food. We were at the Cracker Barrel in Merrillville, Indiana.“

“Always have fun. Can always count on this place to be fierce“

“Excellent Food and Service. Great prices too especially for the portion sizes .“

“The flavor and toppings selections were great. I got Banana, Vanilla and chocolate yogurt with butterfinger and Reese's with peanut butter drizzle on top. Tasted great!

The reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the price. Unfortunately $18+ for my bowl didn't seem like a good deal.“

“The food was very good, the only thing I didn't like was that the tip was charged without explanation.
Plate $16
Drink $3
A total of $19 plus taxes would be $21 and they charged me $27. I asked why and they told me taxes... the same thing happened to three other people at that time and the answer was the same. Once again the food was very tasty but tipping would have to be an option and believe me I always leave a good tip.“
