“We stopped in on a whim and so glad we did. The space was incredible, well decorated, and inviting. Thanks, Luke, you were a fantastic host! We’ll definitely be back.“

“First time here. Our waiter Daryl was so knowledgable, personable and made us feel like we have been coming here for years.
Food was so fresh and flavorable. We are from out of town but will make sure to come back when passing through.“

“This place is the real deal! I got spoiled living in Florida for a while, where there is no shortage of great Cuban food. Lansing sorely needed a place like La Mulata Restuarant and I'm so glad they're here. The energy of the staff, the space, and the overall vibe is great, un ambiente acolhedor. I will definitely be back.“

“This is a pretty cool bar. We've been there a few times. The atmosphere is great. They're usually so busy that the service is hit or miss. The food is tasty bar food. My only gripe is that it's not gluten allergen friendly. Their best food are burgers and all the burgers come with fries that are have bread coating. There's really no substitute. If you're looking for a cool bar, go here. If you have gluten issues, skip it. There's better options elsewhere in EL.“

“Dive bar vibe in the best way. We came specifically for a King ISO show, but we’d go back for the security 🔥😉🙌“

“I recently visited the Graduate Rock Bar after work with some coworkers, and I was thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere is killer—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The rooftop view is definitely a highlight; it’s worth the trip alone. I found it amusing, though, that part of the view overlooks people’s apartments. I couldn’t help but get distracted by one person who spent half an hour cleaning his window—definitely more neurotic than I am!

As for the food and drinks, I ordered the French fries and a local MI Mule. The fries were fantastic—crispy and flavorful. The mule, while well-made, was a bit too sweet for my taste, but that’s more a reflection of my ordering choice than the bar’s offerings. I was thrilled to see white fish salad on the menu, a favorite of my wife’s, and I can’t wait to take her there to try it!

The service was outstanding—quick and friendly, which really enhanced the experience. My only suggestion would be to add some umbrellas for the outdoor seating. It was a sunny day during our visit, and a little shade would have made it even more enjoyable.

Overall, I highly recommend the Graduate Rock Bar for its great vibe, delicious fries, and fantastic service. I’m looking forward to my next visit!“

“Karaoke is awesome!! Super fun vibe“

“I used to go here all the time for a burger, a pitcher of Sam Adams and some darts or pool. Today was the first time I have been back in about 13 years. And it was mostly the same with the exception of the pool table which is no longer there. Sad face. But burgers and fries are decent. Not an obnoxious atmosphere. They have a nice patio, it was just too hot tonight to enjoy it.“

“Well duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Just had to hit the 25 character minimum with the h's :) Of course I recommend this place, it's a Lansing staple.“

“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!“

“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! 🍀“

“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!!!!“

“The burger and fries were good! The atmosphere and appearance overall was fantastic!“

“Great food both times. My 1st visit I had the wet burrito and it is yummy. Server was great and bar tender was amazing, she made a bomb lemonade adding tequila. 2nd time there were 2 lady waitresses and the 1 was ok the other very nasty attitude and dirty looks, makes you wonder if being in Holt irritated her …. Ya know Sundown town feeling.“

“Came here for Mother’s Day with my girlfriends family and I give this place an 100/100, I’m born and raised in Florida moved here 4 years ago and it felt like I was back home. The staff was amazing, I had the walleye dinner and it was absolutely amazing! Would eat here every night if I could!“

“The pizza was so good! First time here and we will be back.“

“Every meal we have had is amazing. Tonight we ordered some salads and their breadsticks to go. They are like mini loafs of bread and so delicious!!!“
