We thought it was an amazing deal and everyone enjoyed dinner. What an amazing way to spend Christmas Eve, relaxed and not cooking all day. thank you!“

“I came to Gumps on a lunch break craving a BBQ pulled pork sandwich. I can say I’ve been here 3 times this week!! The portions are plenty!! Customers service is amazing and the food always comes out so quick!! 10/10!“

“Excellent mouth watering BBQ“

“I'm a truck driver who was delivering a load in the area and craving ramen. So, I found this place and ordered via Uber Eats. Let me start off by saying that the food is absolutely phenomenal. Everything tasted high quality and fresh. The food was packaged carefully. The broth for my spicy ramen didn't even leak! I also ordered the wontons in chili oil, which, again, were very fresh. The skin was thin, too, so it wasn't too doughy— just the perfect bite. My co-driver ordered the stir-fried udon with beef and enjoyed it immensely.

Now, onto the not-so-great details: this place is not very affordable with its high prices. It's the kind of restaurant you go to to Treat Yourself(TM). As delicious as it was, the spicy ramen came out to a whopping $39 with added toppings. Now, of course, it was my decision to add those toppings, so I'm not TOO hung up on that (mainly because I'm still trying to convince myself that the quality and taste at least made it worth a shot). But, nowhere on the menu or website does it describe what the ramen already comes with (no picture either), so it was either: 1) order and hope it comes with the usual toppings; or 2) ensure it has toppings by adding it myself. Normally, I would have no issue doing that, but keep in mind that the toppings range from $2.99 - $4.99 each. I think this restaurant could include more detailed descriptions for its dishes, and not just for the ramen. The item descriptions have VERY few words to begin with.

Moving on from the ramen itself, the prices for everything else I ordered were pretty high for the portion received. The scallion pancake was $11.95, but it only came with a single pancake. Usually, at that price, you'd get way more. The takoyaki was $10.95 with only 4 balls, and the signature sausage was $13.95 for what I'm pretty sure was only one sliced-up sausage. All were VERY good (the takoyaki was just okay), but the prices kind of killed it for us. Again, we're just sort of in a state of denial trying to convince ourselves it was worth it, because there is ZERO doubt that the food was amazing.

All things considered, I would come here again, but definitely only during a Treat Yourself(TM) day. Maybe next time, we'll try sitting in!“

“Great BBQ! The owner is awesome! Check them out!“

“just as good as I expected“

“This was fun to try. It was my first time at a Korean hot pot and BBQ. The BBQ and the fresh seafood bar were very good. Something has to be changed for the gluten free broth for the hot pot though. It was kinda gross. it ruined the experience for me. I would give this restaurant 3 out of 5 stars.“

“Went into REO Town to get a late lunch at Good Truckin’ Diner. But, apparently open til 3 doesn’t mean taking orders til 3. So we went down to Saddleback BBQ and we had zero regrets! When we walked in, the staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate my senior citizen mother. The pulled pork sandwiches were delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend!“

“We had the ribs and they were really good with a baked potato and beans. Also the waiters Sarae gave us great service and had a lovely personality.“

“The bread on these subs are so good. We loved the combinations of flavors. The vegetarian options are outstanding. No joke, this is probably the best hoagie I've ever had. As a bonus, they have really fabulous ice cream and chips. Get the subs toasted! The bread is still soft.“

“Wonderful Thanksgiving meal...thank you!!!!“

“Amazing service!! Maddie is the best bartender EVER!“

“Stopped in while home visiting, it is now on my list of things to do while I'm home! Keeping doing what you do Jeff Jones! I will see you again my next trip.“

“Amazing place in downtown Lansing with amazing food to go with it. Service wise they sit you down really fast and the staff is always nice. A bit pricey but for the food you get to eat and make for yourself on there tabletop grill. It's a perfect date night idea“

“The food here is fabulous! This restaurant has become our favorite in the Lansing area. We have eaten here 3 times so far and each time was perfect. The food is so tasty and plated so attractively that I think there must be somebody cooking that has chef qualifications. The wait staff makes the meal even more enjoyable. All have been friendly and extremely efficient. The restaurant is clean, cozy and comfortable. We passed the word on to our daughter and son in law. This place has quickly become their favorite restaurant in the area! Check it out, you won't be disappointed!“

“I took my mom to the Edgewood Blvd Lansing one yesterday 5.10.24 at 4:15 pm and the food was fabulous. Better than it ever has been. I haven't ever complained about their food and last night was no different, but whatever they did it was all cooked way above perfection. I have not gone anywhere that I can remember and had such an amazing meal as last nights. I usually save some to take home to the hubby, but not this time. I ate it all except a dog scrap piece 😆(that's what the waitress called it). I got the 6oz sirloin (med well) and ribs & mom got the sirloin and shrimp. The ribs were extremely tender and the sirloin was so juicy and perfect. The ribs are always delicious, but will still have just a touch of dryness to them. Last night the meat was flaky and fell off the bone with barely a touch. The service was excellent too. I can't remember our waitresses name, but very friendly and right on top of it. Even my mom said the waitress did a good job. Last night was definitely worth the over-tip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟“

“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.“

“Our server, Sarae, was so good! Fast, efficient, and FUN! She took great care of us and we will definitely ask for her next time! Thanks, Sarae!!!“

“Pizza came quicker than expected, food was REALLY delicious. Tasted fresh, fresh ingredients and the sauce tasted homemade like you could taste the tomato in it.

I was in town for a weekend. It was kinda late so I ordered pizza. Seeing that Happy’s was one of the few open in the area. I ordered from them. Wish there was one where I live. Found my new favorite pizza place. In Lansing anyway.“
