“This is a lovely place! Unique menu items, great flavors, nice portions and great service. Went to another restaurant but they had water main issues so they recommended the soup spoon cafe. I fell in love. Went back again to take my boyfriend out to breakfast and I knew he wouldn’t be disappointed. I was right! He love it as well. No doubt, it will become a regular spot from now on!“
“Fun fact about Moriarty's: they host jazz bands on Tuesday nights, and for that I love them. Ok, I'm wildly biased by the jazz offering. The pub itself is super divey, hole-in-the wall. Opposite of upscale. Drink and food selection are not great. But the staff are really kind and responsive, so that helps.“
“Excellent burgers and great price. Beer is cold. They only had 1 waitstaff on besides a bartender on a Saturday afternoon, took a while to get some service but we were acknowledged by someone (not sure if he was a manager) so at least we were not ignored. Once our order was taken, drinks came fast and food shortly after. Great environment, music was great, keno, and cold beer! Waitstaff was very friendly.“
“My husband and I have been going to The Ocean Crab for over a year now. We’ve never had a bad experience there. The staff is friendly, the food is always delicious, and they just added to their menu which was also amazing. We tried the Tonkatsu Ramen and it was amazing! The pork roll was perfectly cooked, there were plenty of vegetables nestled into mix, and the broth was rich and felt like comfort in a bowl. If you’re looking for a really good seafood/Asian/Cajun mix of food, this is where you should go!“
“This place is a great ol neighborhood pup, small, a little run down but great burgers! Everyone is friendly, greats you when you enter. Booth seats a few tables, and a bar to sit/eat/drink. They have a pool table, and keno! Beer is cold, burgers are excellent built to your likings and at a great price! They have other sandwiches, wet burritos looks fantastic! I will go back for sure!! Excellent service ?“
“The only thing better than the bar staff, and the atmosphere is the food. The Pho was better than two Vietnamese restaurants that I've been to, and the sushi was on point. All in all 10 of 10, would recommend.Dietary restrictions: Soy, peanut, milk, corn, and gluten dietary restrictions: was able to eat with little modifications.“
“My favorite bar in Lansing. Great bar staff, friendly patrons, cold beer. This is a dive. It's nice to see they still exist tucked in the middle of these places with over-priced drinks, trying to be like every other bar. PS, the menu on the photo is not accurate. There are nightly specials though. ( walking taco, pulled pork, wings)“
“I met a friend here because the kitchen is open until 10:45, and we were hungry. Had the duck fat fries (which were the best item of what we had) in addition to the deviled eggs and a pizza. They kill you with add-on charges (over $1 for a side of ranch or garlic sauce for example, plus more to sprinkle a little cheese on the fries). The deviled eggs had a very odd chemical taste to me, which I think had to do with the mustard used. The pizza we had, which was some prosciutto and habanero cream combination recommended by the chef was nothing special.The atmosphere is good, and even better when the patio is open. Don't expect a good value for either the food or the drinks when you come here though...“
“We had Taquito AF. It was decent, nothing special. There were so many restaurants to choose from, I was surprised. I didn’t know what to expect, but it’s a food court with delicious international foods. I’m going to make it a lunch spot for the next few weeks to try out all of the cuisines.“
“The Ave is a Lansing staple, hosting some of the best food in the city and an awesome environment. You can have many different kinds of night at the Ave. You can go there for a nice dinner, you can go there for a drink and a show, or you can go there and get absolutely ripped. All are 5 star experiences, and the people complaining about service at a punk bar like it's an Olive Garden are lame as hell.“
“Cool place if you like dimly lit dive bars. Was visiting for my son's basketball tournament. Walked in with my wife and was immediately greeted by some friendly locals They welcomed us and told us the jukebox is free lol. You can play anything you want and they love it. Come on over here if you want a delicious bloody Mary and a beer.“
“After trying two other bars we dropped in here to see what the music and people were like. We found our place! Awesome band, little older crowd which is exactly what we wanted (no skanks half naked walking around) TONS of dancing and drinks were flowing. Crowd was perfect for us and I'm just sad that I don't live anywhere near there because this would be "my place"!! Next time we are in the area, The Green Door is my nighttime stop!!!☑️?“
“Service was amazing they made me the best Bloody Mary I’ve had in a long time I asked if they could make me a homemade one and it was so wonderful. The only thing I have to say that wasn’t great was the food I ordered (the mushroom pasta) made me really sick. Maybe the cream in it went bad which can happen. Other than that everything was amazing and we loved the server and I really enjoyed my drink.(:“
“I miss the old dark hole in the wall and the amount of death metal bands that would play, I do have to say it is a comfortable place and the staff is friendly and attentive, the place feels a lot bigger and brighter especially with the drop ceiling out. I'd say probably still my favorite bar/venue in the Lansing area“
“Best Pizza Around!! It hit the spot on New Years Day for my Momma that has been hospitalized for 2 weeks. I broke her in to 2024 with the Best, for the Best. Also; Thanks to one of the Regulars for the Warm Hug and Well Wishes for my Mom! *Cheers*“
“I've used Tony Ms for 2 funeral luncheons and they have been amazing to work with. Melanie is easy to communicate with and made planning a luncheon less stressful during an already stressful time. The wait staff was amazing as well, and even remembered us from the last time we were there. Guests complimented the spread of food (especially the BBQ meatballs!) and everyone enjoyed the banquet space. Thank you, and we will recommend you to anyone looking for a banquet space!“
“Reviewing for Rehearsal Dinner that was held here: overall had a great time! The coordinator Ben was wonderful to work with and he accomodated my specialty request for a disabled guest. He also upgraded our room for free after not realizing an event was going on right next to the original space we booked, which was nice. Everyone really liked their food and drinks. The only thing that went wrong was the groom's entree arrived 20-30 minutes later than everyone elses. There wasn't much communication regarding this, so we were left wondering if it was forgotten before it finally arrived. Otherwise, everything went great, menu and dessert were as expected. We have also visited One North on other less formal occasions and always had a great time.“
“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 is what I would call a dive bar. It is a fun place to go. They have karaoke on Friday (I think) and it's a nice party atmosphere. People are close knit but friendly to outsiders. Pub food and good beer. Great burgers. I recommend it.“
“Had our department Christmas luncheon yesterday and let me tell you - Lynn and staff were very accommodating & pleasant and made the entire process of hosting this event a breeze. We sent in a pre-order and requested specific times for appetizers and meals to come out and they did not disappoint. Everything came out on time and they were consistently checking in to refill drinks and remove empty dishes. THANK YOU KELLY'S STAFF !!! Please know that you are appreciated and we will be back next year for our department Christmas luncheon!!!!“
“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!“
“This was the first time we tried this place and it was great! We came out on a Thursday evening and it was pretty chill which was nice. Lots of shot/drink choices and they were all fantastic! Danny/Dani was an excellent and attentive server and had great recommendations. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu and fill up our shot card ❤️“
“Now, this is the first time I've eaten here! I've knocked the food two stars down to three because it just seems like more could have been done with it it actually was a quality product for that alone is why it gets three stars I think it could have been prepared and presented better. I knocked the service two stars not because it was bad service it was just not up to five stars or four as far as I'm concerned. The only reason I didn't give it five stars on the atmosphere it really wasn't that crowded, and it was still somewhat noisy place acoustically. I'm not sure why it's a little noisy in there, but it's a visually beautiful pleasing atmosphere. Is it cool little location down on the corner of Washington Square right down from the capitol. If you're in the area I'd give it a try if you're looking for something a little more fancy restaurant bar feel.Parking: Well, the reason I say it's someone difficult is because it depends on the time of the day you're going there and it's all street parking. you usually can get parking within a block when it is tougher times to find a place to park, Maybe sometimes you got to go two blocks. But most of the time, you usually can park within the block of the establishment you're heading for down in this Washington Square area.“
“The place had no more than 10 people which made it nice to meet up with some friends. I ordered what was supposed to be a blackened chicken sandwich and there was no Cajun seasoning on it. The chicken was cook perfect, just missing the seasoning.“
“A beautifully put together space, with all Michigan based products, from the decor, to the merchandise to the furniture. What more could you ask for?? What makes this place really unique? They specialize in dry ciders, which in my experience is not easy to find!“
