Zoobies is always a good time. The drinks are fantastic as are the pizzas and salads but our favorite is always the deviled eggs. The perfect amount of pickled red onion and delicious candied bacon on top. I’m going to make myself sound old here but it is a louder bar so just be prepared.

Was in this past Friday for a birthday celebration with a group of 10-12. Staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive. Food was excellent - about half of the group ordered their favorite pizzas while the others tried the newer menu items (burgers & brown butter pasta). If you had to pick only one item, get the nachos. Wild amount of food, but so good and perfect shareable. The bar also has a great selection of beer and unique mixed drinks. I've been coming here for years and it's a great spot for a date, friend gathering, or quick after work drink.

I had called to make sure it was okay to bring a cake (yes, but they couldn't provide fridge space) and our waitress came through with the save because I flaked on a cake knife. Appreciate the Zoobie's team being so accommodating and friendly -- and celebrating with us!

Went last night with my partner. The establishment was clean and staff friendly. The Beer selection was pretty varied but the food was overrated and over priced. I spent seven dollars per pint of bells. Oktoberfest ale .The $9 Truffled Duck fat fries looked pretty good but were not any better in than ordinary fries. The $20 Spaceball pizza on the menu made up of red sauce meatballs pepperchini ricotta, and mozzarella cheese looked like it might be good but I was unimpressed. It did not have enough cheese in the crust was flat. The meatballs were meh 😒 The conclusion was next time if I want pizza I’ll come out to art pub. They make an amazing pub pizza maybe Zoobies should come here and take a lesson from arts.

It’s quiet and has friendly staff but I was not impressed by the food quality and price paid. The beer was pricy portions were on the small side and not spectacular. I gave them a 3 because of the wait staff.

Pizza is really good. Restaurant was on the verge of uncomfortable due to no air conditioning on an 85 degree day. They ran out of their signature cosmic devils. Went to oyster fest, no hot sauce, lemons or horse radish. Mediocre.

Wow. Just wow. Look at these pizzas! And the corn fritters 🤤
Nice atmosphere- not too noisy. Really good service. The only downside in my opinion was that the Bloody Mary was served with a lime and a bit overpriced. Otherwise a great experience.

This place is positively lovely. The server was amazing. She anticipated the needs and body language of everyone at the table and was just on top of her game. She will probably be a CEO in the future. The menu was detailed and everything was perfectly seasoned. I could be imagining things and being too optimistic, but they seem to put the work in and it shows: homemade pesto, handmade made garnishes for cocktails, fresh grated parmesan. A breath of fresh air in the cold culinary desert that is the greater Lansing area.
