“Huge shoutout to Big Apple Bagels East Lansing! Multiple times I have ordered or placed large orders to be shared with family, volunteers and the Ronald McDonald House of Mid-Michigan - ALL the food has been delicious. The muffins moist (I know how some love that word! haha). The staff has always been very friendly, including accommodating some special requests needed for my specific deliveries. I feel they even went above and beyond on my last order (08/31) and greatly appreciate it. I will definitely be returning for future partnership!“

“We love it for all our family get togethers. The private rooms are so nice“

“BAPS is easily one of the best Korean BBQ spots in the area. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the variety of sides they bring out is honestly amazing. Their kimchi is especially incredible — perfectly flavorful, fresh, and honestly some of the best I’ve had. I also love that they have so many great non-BBQ dishes, so there’s something for everyone. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and all of the waitresses are incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming which makes the whole experience even better. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. Every time I go, the service and food are consistently incredible. Highly recommend if you want delicious food and an all-around great dining experience!“

“Get the Olive Burger! It’s a local Lansing-area creation and absolutely worth trying. The Peanut Barrel is a great old-school East Lansing spot with a fun, casual atmosphere. The burger was fantastic — definitely something I’ll get again when I’m back in town visiting MSU. Amazing!!!“

“We love coming here for family lunches. The food is delicious and authentic. We will drive an hour just to eat here! That says a lot about the food.

We usually come in a large group so we order a variety of authentic dishes. Their dim sum is also top notch in Michigan.“

“Have been coming here since 2001 when I attended MSU...delicious pizza with a crisp crust...ample toppings and its always a pleasure to chit chat with Habib when we make the trip in for a pizza! 100% recommend!“

“The oasis of East Lansing. Quality Establishment.“

“I used to be a regular at this place when my office was just a mile away. I probably have not eaten here in 8 to 10 years. My go to dish was always Mongolian beef. I had it again and it was still as delicious as I remembered it. I'm not wild about the rice, and did not eat much of it. The main dish did not skimp on meat, which was good.“

“You know I give it five stars for atmosphere, everyone knows I'm not like saying it's a five-star restaurant right! But for a nice Little Pony shop in downtown East Lansing off of MSU campus it's a very nice atmosphere for a Coney Dog lunch spot probably one of the better Coney dog Lunch Spot atmospheres I've been at. Not sure who the manager is but they hire a good young employees that actually must have been raised right because they do great service for a bunch of kids.“

“I wanted to write a review about El Azteco West but their page no longer appears in my search. The manager, Bobby, demonstrates unprecedented unprofessionalism and incompetence. My boyfriend was a cook at the Westside location but quit due to egregious health code violations. They let a burrito sit out on the counter for almost two hours, then microwaved it and served it to a customer. There's severe mice infestation. They also stored the tiolet brush on the same shelf as the clean dishes. Things got ridiculous after my boyfriend quit and called the health department. Bobby withheld his paycheck from him because she wanted to confront him about calling the health department. She called him evil for notifying the health department, instead of handling the complaints internally. Astoundingly, she denied that letting for sit out for almost two hours and then serving it to a customer constituted a health code violations. When my boyfriend finally picked up his check, someone had written "turd" on it. They also only paid him minimum wage, far less than the other cooks. The manager, Bobby, threatened to call the police on me for slander for telling people about the mice infestation and for writing truthful negative reviews. Bobby was so pathetic, she threatened to call our landlord. I discourage everyone from eating at this restaurant and working there. I've never experienced such a dirty, poorly run restaurant with managers who disregard food safety and professionalism.“

“Delicious food! Excellent service! Great atmosphere! We stopped by on our visit through town, we both have specific medically based food restrictions and they had no problem alternating our dishes. Thank you so much for a delicious meal in a great diner with an excellent server. Next time we're in town we'll definitely stop by again.“
