“Absolutely love this place! I visit every time I'm in East Lansing to see my son at MSU. If we don't dine in I ALWAYS stop to take food to go to take home for later. Love all of the choices. One of my favorites are the jumbo chicken wings!! Wish this place had a location over by me in Troy!!“

“Just a fun, relaxing place to go. The food is great and the friendly bartenders are amazing. In particular, Shawn. What a fun guy that could make anybody smile. His personality is infectious. He definitely makes sure everybody is serviced well and leaves satisfied. He acts as though he’s back in the kitchen, making the meal himself and the presentation is perfect. The large portions for the price too!“

“The name says it all!!! This is the best ramen I have ever eaten! The wontons in chili sauce, rice balls, tonkatsu with black garlic, was so delicious. The flavors were well balanced, umami was on point. I will definitely return! Eat here and you won't be disappointed, you will be thrilled that you took a chance. Money well spent!“

“Came in tonight to celebrate my birthday with my husband. I always get the tonkatsu ramen (delicious). Tonight I tried the orange chicken for the first time. I'm so glad I did! It was perfectly sauced and still crispy. Service was fast and friendly despite being absolutely packed💗“

“I went there for the first time today. The food was AMAZING! There are also so many unique items available in the store. I can't wait to go back!“

“I'm not from MI, but I'm staying for a week and was looking for vegan places to eat. I stumbled upon Veg-N and gave it a try. There is no dine-in so do keep that in mind. I just placed our order on their website, and within 15m it was ready! Pulled up to the drive-thru and was met with lovely customer service. We were offered on the house cookies and oh my they were amazing. Got home and unpacked the food to find little peppermints and handwipes in the bag!! I finished my Reuben in 5 minutes it was so good, the patty was soft and juicy and the kraut was perfect. The chili fries were great too - maybe a little sweet for me, but my friend said they were just right for her. Only thing I could ask for would be glaze on the cinnamon roll but I didn't expect any. Just wishful thinking. Overall, great place. The people seem lovely, the food came out fast, and it tasted amazing. I'm only here for a few more days but I will definitely be back, it was just that good. If you like burgers, fries, cookies, or cinnamon rolls you need to check this place out - vegan or not you will love it.“

“This is my daughter's and my favorite restaurant when we meet up in Lansing. We've never experienced anything less than delicious food. The staff is courteous and it's a busy but fun atmosphere. Highly recommend! 5/5 stars!“

All the sides were fantastic as well! Service was exceptional and they are all so kind. We highly recommend this place!!“

“The best BBQ. I love meat platter. The pork belly sandwich is amazing.“

“Great food.“

“You cannot go wrong! Fair prices for what you get, I ordered a sushi roll and it was a decent size from what you’d get anywhere else and fills you up! Tastes great and if I lived closer definitely be going there often to try more of their menu“

“Went to Corey's specifically to try the french dip sandwich.... it did not disappoint. Loved every bite. Service was also fantastic!“

“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.“

“My partner been to the Hopcat in Kzoo and GR (both awesome in their own right), but EL is by far our favorite. The atmosphere is awesome, the food came out fast and delicious, and everyone was so friendly. Samira is a wonderful server! We just moved here, and she gave us great recommendations on places to check out. Definitely going back soon!“

“AWESOME, been here twice this weekend. Sunday's lunch buffet is GREAT.“

“Great food and the staff very friendly.“

“This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Lansing and the folks who run it are wonderful! They have the best garlic sauce in central Michigan and it comes with pita. The food is always always always fresh and delicious. I am not related to anyone there and I have not been paid or compensated in any way for this or any other reviews I may have given for this restaurant. I honestly just love their food and it never leaves me feeling cruddy. I have digestive issues sometimes from restaurant food and I always feel great after eating here. There is plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. They have yummy desserts as well. Now they have an amazing Lunch Buffet for around $15.00 and it’s a great way to try things you may be hesitant to try. It also includes salad choices, soup, hummus and their garlic sauce with pita!!! Two Thumbs up 👍 👍“

“Genuinely some of the best food i’ve ever had in my life, I cannot recommend them enough. Favorite places for enchiladas in Lansing. The birria tacos are to die for!“

“The blueberry rhubarb margarita caught my attention, so we stopped in for dinner. The seafood risotto and the beef short rib were wonderful. My wife and I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Piazzanos has been a go-to for my family for many years. It has quality food, great prices, wonderful staff, always is clean and is a great place to bring a large or small group. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are always fresh and the way you expect your order to be prepared!
It can be busy at times, but that only speaks to the wonderful reputation and food!“

“A "hole in the wall" take-out restaurant that's delicious 😋 I love all the different bubble tea options and the food is always delicious, filling and worth the price!“

“Great burgers but really not cool when you're craving some at a quarter to ten the night before a holiday, prepping to play Mac's, just drove 40 minutes thru construction to get told they just took last call for the kitchen. Heartbroken.“

“We had the pleasure of being waited on by Dottie last night. Just wanted to give her a shout out for her excellence! Even with a million things going on, she was on top of it all with a smile on her face! Appreciate the great service every time we come out! 💕“

“Huge shoutout to Big Apple Bagels East Lansing! Multiple times I have ordered or placed large orders to be shared with family, volunteers and the Ronald McDonald House of Mid-Michigan - ALL the food has been delicious. The muffins moist (I know how some love that word! haha). The staff has always been very friendly, including accommodating some special requests needed for my specific deliveries. I feel they even went above and beyond on my last order (08/31) and greatly appreciate it. I will definitely be returning for future partnership!“

“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!“

“Love the Boss Tweed, B43, Mac & cheese, spinach dip, soft pretzel“

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

“Get the Olive Burger! It’s a local Lansing-area creation and absolutely worth trying. The Peanut Barrel is a great old-school East Lansing spot with a fun, casual atmosphere. The burger was fantastic — definitely something I’ll get again when I’m back in town visiting MSU. Amazing!!!“

“We love coming here for family lunches. The food is delicious and authentic. We will drive an hour just to eat here! That says a lot about the food.

We usually come in a large group so we order a variety of authentic dishes. Their dim sum is also top notch in Michigan.“

“Have been coming here since 2001 when I attended MSU...delicious pizza with a crisp crust...ample toppings and its always a pleasure to chit chat with Habib when we make the trip in for a pizza! 100% recommend!“

“We came for the food since we do not drink, but if you like IPAs this place has a lot of great stuff and a great setting. Plus the male Bartender was nice. But like I said we came for the food! It was very good! My husband had the Olive burger and fries and said it was excellent. My daughter had the kimci fries which was a huge portion and looked so good, she loved them but did say they were a little spicy. I had the Brussels Sprouts Vegan and they were so good! I also have the kalamata Olive vegan Bread was a little to salty for me, I think it was the garlic salt in the everything seasoning. I would order it without that on it. I'm excited to try their other vegan options!“

“Excellent, authentic food! Prices can't be beat 💖“

“Always enjoy their pizza-I’m never disappointed.“

“Amazing I highly recommend as long as there open I'll be there“

“I will NEVER go to another Acapulco!! I ordered the Birria tacos, with extra cheese, fried until crispy and they were amazing!!!! Also ordered the street corn (eloté) and that was phenomenal! Margarita was strong and perfect to taste! Everything was seasoned to my liking and perfectly portioned. I highly recommend!! Service was spectacular! Thank you for pleasing my tastebuds for my first experience!! I’ll be back ;)“

“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.“

“Everything I’ve ever had there is delicious. Especially love the steaks, nachos, and wet burritos.“

“Great food! We just visited for the first time. The food was excellent, both the chicken kabob & shawarma were perfectly seasoned & not at all dry. Their hommous & falafel were super as well. The service was fast and helpful as well. Definitely try them out!“
