“Outstanding restaurant. All food delicious. Service stall friendly and helpful. While we lived in Lansing we were there twice a week. Especially for the Sunday Buffet. Wish they would open a restaurant in Maricopa, Arizona LOL This city certainly needs it. .“

“Love Love Love Sholtys!!! Staff are super fun, owners are so cool and great crowd of regulars! Walking tacos are amazing and the live music is spot on!!!!“

“I recently stumbled upon an Irish pub, The chicken tenders were so crispy and flavorful, I half-expected them to start riverdancing off my plate. The fish was so fresh, it probably swam here on its own. And the mac and cheese? It tasted like it was crafted by a leprechaun's grandmother herself.

The staff was as warm and welcoming as a cozy Irish hearth. They served everything with a smile and a side of charm that could melt even the frostiest of hearts. If you're looking for a pot of gold at the end of the culinary rainbow, this pub is it. Cheers! 🍀“

“Burgers are a good idea specials are good“

“I had a great experience at Ambiance Salon! Justine Wilson is a hair magician! The environment was clean, safe, fun and I LOVE MY NEW HAIR!!!! I highly recommend Ambiance!“

“love this place! staff is super friendly! Great food!“

“Stopped in and overall the vibe was good. Only upset cause I told the bartender what I typically get at a bar, and asked what he’d recommend, and he just gave me what I typically get at a bar rather than giving me suggestions on other options. They did have pretty cool chalk art on the walls tho!“

“Great bar selection and food.“

“I never needed another reason to remain a lifelong customer of Soup Spoon, but today truly cemented it. Over the years, we’ve celebrated countless anniversaries, birthdays, and every special moment in between at Soup Spoon. For someone who isn’t materialistic and values meaningful experiences over things, what better gift could there be than a Soup Spoon gift card? When my fiancé stopped in to pick one up, he was welcomed by a familiar, smiling face. What could have been a simple transaction turned into something much more. Not only did they take the time to warmly greet him and express genuine gratitude for our continued support, but they also listened to his story and made him feel like the most important person in the room. That kind of authentic hospitality is rare. It’s why Soup Spoon isn’t just a restaurant to us — it’s part of our story. And it’s why we’ll keep coming back for years to come.“

“Great steaks, great service, great atmosphere,“

“My husband and I recently dined at Toscana for the first time, and it was an experience that left a lasting impression. While the food was undeniably delicious and the drinks were expertly crafted, what truly set this restaurant apart was the exceptional service. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were warmly welcomed by the bartenders, Fynn and Manny. Their genuine hospitality made us feel right at home, and their attentive care throughout the evening was unparalleled. Fynn's recommendation for my meal turned out to be a delightful surprise, showcasing his deep understanding of the menu and his commitment to ensuring guests have a memorable dining experience. Not only did the staff excel in providing outstanding service, but they also went above and beyond to accommodate our inquiries and preferences. When I inquired about an ingredient in one of the desserts, Nathaniel kindly brought out a sample for me to try, ensuring that I was completely satisfied with my choice. Manny took the time to share insights about the local area, making us feel like valued newcomers here in Michigan. Overall, our visit to Toscana was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of delectable cuisine and unparalleled hospitality has left us eagerly anticipating our next visit. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday celebration truly memorable!“

“This place is wonderful! Thank you Christie for the great service! 😊“

“I've stopped in 3 times while passing through Lansing. Stobers is a must see place for any dive bar lover! The exquisite carvings are quite literally out of this world. Pickled eggs for a snack. Service with a smile. Great drink selection.“

“Great thing they have going on with the Ramen kitchen, delicious and well sized portions. Played pool and pinball whilst listening to some good 80's alternative with some Grateful dead thrown in there.
Whoever was picking the songs read the crowd well at that time.Spendid experience.“

“Food was ok. I would eat here again, but it didn’t blow me away. The main feedback I have is that in their effort to be inclusive of children, they take it a little too far. As soon as we walked in the door, one of the male wait staff members grabbed my 2 year old and started walking away from us! Obviously I followed, and it turned out he was taking him to a giant toy stash to let him pick something out. I’m sure their intentions are good, but you are a stranger, you don’t just grab someone’s child and start walking away! This same employee interacted with my son a few times during our meal, and then as we were getting ready to leave, he was tickling him and massaging his shoulders…creepy. Needless to say I was ready to get my son out of there. Can’t tell if it’s just this particular employee or just their way of trying to be friendly but it was too much.“

“I absolutely love coming here to watch a game. The staff is always super friendly and the food/drinks are fantastic! Highly recommended!!“
