50 Best American Restaurants near Haslett

“great burgers and service“

“I was at the Watershed Saturday to have drinks and dinner with my Nephew. The food and staff was amazing. Also want to give a shout out to whoever found my wallet and turn it into Sabrina. Thank you for your honesty.“

“The People’s Kitchen is my favorite restaurant in Lansing. The chef is phenomenal! There is a variety of delicious entrees for everyone.“

“It was a very nice experience. Absolutely zero wait time (we went at an off time) and the staff was very friendly!“

“The food was delicious and everything we ordered tasted amazing! Our server was amazing but I wasn't too fond of the manager walking around yelling at all his employees who were busting their butts trying to provide the best service to the customers. I've worked in restaurants for about 10 years now and I know things can get frustrating during dinner rushes. But being the owner of the restaurant and treating your employees so poorly while you have customers trying to eat isn't ideal. I watched this guy yell at all his cooks and servers. Also was rude to a server about a chair when they didn't know said chair wasn't allowed in the outside seating area. I really hope this manager takes the extra steps to pull people aside and be discreet when addressing something instead of causing a scene like we saw tonight. Other then that, we enjoyed this restaurant and the food!“

“Nip N Sip was one of the highlights of our trip to Lansing. The place has an incredible old-school charm that feels like stepping back into a different era—in the best possible way. It’s the kind of classic local spot that has earned its reputation through decades of doing things right.

The olive burger was exactly what you want from a Michigan classic: simple, delicious, and packed with flavor. It’s easy to see why it has such a loyal following. The homemade root beer was another standout—rich, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal.

If you’re looking for a place with character, history, and genuinely great food, Nip N Sip delivers. A true Lansing institution that’s absolutely worth a visit.“

“The servers went above and beyond. This was our first visit and when we come this way again I would love too come back. The food was hot and tasty. The restaurant is clean as was the restroom. If you are lucky Maddon and Riley will be working. Dewitt, Michigan .“

“We had such a great experience at Art & Jake’s, and Taylor D. was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our entire meal. She was incredibly personable and made us feel welcomed from the moment we sat down. Our drinks were always full, our food came out quickly, and she checked on us the perfect amount without ever making us feel rushed. Taylor really went above and beyond and made our experience even better. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. We will definitely be back and hope to have Taylor as our server again!“

“I live in LA and visit twice a year. Summer and Christmas. Each time I get to the River house twice. It’s THAT good. Patio is gorgeous. On the river. Peaceful. Comfortable. Inside is romantic and cozy in winter. Food consistent. Yummy options. Elegant. Highly recommend. Susan in front is lovely and greets you with a smile every time.“

“Took my wife here on a lunch date. The food was in my opinion delicious. Was only $20 for both of us. I thought it was priced very reasonable I would have paid more actually. Service was great. Not sure why this place wasn't packed on a Saturday. I made sure my tip reflected the food and service.“

“Buddies in Holt: Where Friendship Comes With Fries (and Occasionally Questionable Karaoke)

Step into Buddies Grill in Holt and you half-expect Norm to slide onto the next stool and declare the beer cold and the gossip warmer. This unpretentious pub-and-grill hybrid doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—it just keeps the wheel spinning with nachos the size of small continents, wet burritos that require a structural engineer, and a patio that somehow makes Michigan humidity feel intentional.

The vibe is pure neighborhood therapy: sports on every screen, a Tiki bar that pretends it’s somewhere tropical, and servers who remember your usual like it’s a sacred text. Service can occasionally achieve the speed of continental drift, but the portions arrive like apologies you actually want. Famous nachos? Legit. Homemade chili? Comfort in a bowl. Sunday breakfast buffet? A reason to crawl out of bed before noon.

Is it fine dining? Only if your definition of “fine” includes sticky tables. But as Holt’s unofficial living room—part Cheers, part group-therapy session with onion rings—it delivers exactly what it promises: good company, better calories, and zero pretension. Bring your buddies. Leave your diet at the door. You’ll fit right in.“

“great food , great service , great prices and it's still family owned and operated ! good people !“

“Nice place and atmosphere! Nicely decorated. The food was good and reasonably priced. Fun to able to watch soccer ⚽️“

“We have hosted two family bridal showers in the last 6 months. Both were wonderful experiences working with the supportive staff to ensure the showers were a magical experience for both brides. The staff was easy to work with, accommodating various requests, offering restaurant decorations and attentive during the entire event. Not only was the staff a pleasure to work with, the food was outstanding! We will host another bridal shower as soon as we have another engagement in the family!“

“The food is always great and the workers are fabulous“

“Zeus Coney Island is unfortunately gone 😔
Although this Big Boy has done well at maintaining the classic diner atmosphere. There's plenty of room in between the new clean tables and chairs, the floor was clean, and service was great.
Food came out somewhat quick, it looked great, I got Cinnamon French Toast with sausage links and it was really decent, everything was fully cooked.
I was checked on multiple times throughout my meal.
Overall the eating area is much smaller than a typical Big Boy, and there is no salad bar or buffet, but they do have color televisions and a drive thru, so there's that.“

“Love Buddies! Food is always good, beer is cold and staff is amazing!“

“first time at Henry's.. absolutely amazing! Service and food was perfect!“

“Karaoke is awesome!! Super fun vibe“

“we had the best server ever! she was absolutely phenomenal and she was cracking jokes with us the whole time! thank you brandey“

“The Michigan Athletic Club in East Lansing is a premier fitness facility, providing state-of-the-art equipment and a diverse range of fitness classes. It offers a clean and family-friendly environment, catering to individuals dedicated to achieving their full potential.

“good food great service loves loves the shakes ans sundies“

“We’ve been here 4 times and our server Chase this time was the best we’ve had. He was very helpful for us to understand how the cards work for gaming and the 1000 point limit/best options for what we wanted to do while here. Very good service.“

“Great place and great service“

“Excellent food, with solid vegetarian options. The bar has plenty of pop culture and quirky decor. A laid back vibe and a good sized stage for music. Arcade machines and pinball throughout the multi-level venue. We tried the Vegan Green Curry Ramen and fried veggies. Exceeded expectations and a worthwhile destination if you looking for a good meal. Great atmosphere to hang out, play pool, have a drink, play pinball or classic arcade machines.“

“All I can say is WOW. Truly the definition of QUALITY SERVICE! Alyssa B didn’t just meet expectations — she redefined them. She waited on us with confidence and ease, anticipating needs before they were ever voiced. Service like that doesn’t just happen — it’s intentional, and it shows. She is the best!“

“I've been to the Green Door more times than I can count. For much of my 20s it was a weekly haunt for me and my family as we sang karaoke here. We stayed with them through host changes, even briefly hosting karaoke myself (note: do NOT hire me to run karaoke, I willingly accept being about the worst host the place ever had) and we stayed with them through the downturn in service that the pandemic and the subsequent kitchen closure caused.
Now that I live away from Lansing, I still try to visit the Green Door when I come into town.“

“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.“

“Order the "The Best One"... it is definitely worth it!!! 😎💚🤍🌯🙏🏽“
