Delicious food …servers are polite! Vibrant atmosphere! It’s just part of EL!
Used to go here in the 70s. A little different now but still great
They're going underneath renovations right now, but i'm sure when they're done, it will be beautiful.

Beggar's Banquet is a long-standing restaurant known for its good service and pleasant atmosphere. It tends to get crowded, especially on game days, yet the service remains commendable. The interior features barn wood walls, beams, and a collection of artwork and posters, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.
The menu offers a variety of options, including the Red Cedar Benne, which has eggs, potatoes, and smoky salmon cake, as well as other dishes like the smothered burrito and the Hippie bowl. However, some diners found the smothered burrito and Hippie bowl to be lukewarm. The Cali Benne, featuring an English muffin, hollandaise, and a warm tomato, received mixed reviews, with one diner noting that the warm tomato overpowered the hollandaise sauce.
While the duck dish was disappointing and the burger was generally liked but overcooked, diners are encouraged to specify their preferred level of doneness. The French toast, though not tried by the reviewers, has been recommended for future visits. The restaurant is recognized for its great drink selection, and customers have enjoyed the potatoes cakes and corned beef hash.
Pricing is on the higher end, with breakfast options averaging around $16 to $18, and parking in downtown East Lansing can be challenging. However, there is a parking garage behind the restaurant. Despite these minor concerns, the overall experience at Beggar's Banquet has been enjoyable for most visitors, with many expressing a desire to return.
