“Always a great time!!!Lots of fun every time ❤️“

“I highly recommend this if you are going to a Msu bball game and want something to eat before it. We tried to go to chilis before the Illinois game, there was a wait time. Decided to leave, went here to try another option for dinner. Came here to buddies. Got seated immediately, service was fast, and food was extremely good. We’d still be at chilis waiting by now if we stayed there 😅 5 stars :)“

“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 fiancé and I just ate at La Mulata and we had a great experience. The food is incredible and the atmosphere transported me back to my trip to Puerto Rico. We will definitely be coming back again to enjoy another delicious meal!“

“Food was phenomenal. My server Deryll was amazing. I know servers are usually being welcoming to simply do their job, but I felt my desires were truly cared about, which makes a great server. And it was pretty busy, too, so that’s impressive.
The espresso martini with an added chocolate rim and toasted marshmallow is perfection (in case you also see this google review and are wondering what it is, just as I did with another review)
I’m coming back for sure“

“Bryan Ponke did an outstanding job coordinating for, and executing a 30 person birthday party at my request. He was readily available to work with me on all the details of venue set-up, choice of food items and their location and display, and made suggestions regarding the overall plan based on his previous experience in these matters. In short, Bryan was professional, knowledgeable, and an excellent event planner. From my first meeting with Bryan, I had a positive feeling that the party planning coordination was in very capable hands.“

“I spoke with the owner after picking up my order he helped me carry it to my car since logistically. It’s a little difficult to get to the restaurant, but really appreciated his efforts and all the help you gave me. As a pharmaceutical rep, I order a lot of lunches and sometimes I’m in a crunch and have my customers order something that is downtown pretty much a college bar where kids can walk to was a little difficult for me this morning, but the owner made it very, very convenient and I would definitely patronize his bar anytime. As for Jack, the bartender who I placed the order with he couldn’t have been more condescending and rude on the phone and he needs to change his habits Understanding that other people work there and it’s a livelihood for a lot of other people and every customer like me that you turn off like you did probably wouldn’t come back Thankfully, I had an opportunity to meet the owner who appeared and seemed to be a really great guy, and I wish him nothing but success for his business I wasn’t gonna tip Jack and shove it in his face but instead as I entered the bar there happen to be a nice young lady blonde hair, very bubbly personality and she kind of changed my mind about ripping Jack a new fanny. what Jack has forgotten in all his years of working in restaurants I’m sure is that the customer just wants a pleasant experience and nothing more good food and a pleasant experience that is not what you delivered for me on the phone today. I hope Jack sees this and changes his attitude because he’s definitely a negative force for your business.“

“Enjoyed our meal. There beer was delicious. The waitress was amazing“

“Karaoke is awesome!! Super fun vibe“

“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!“

“Great place to hang out and meet new people. Love this bar.“

“Just left Micky’s Bar . The bar tender was was really good , Friendly and good. The owner seems really friendly. The customers are really nice too. I will go there again for sure“

“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! 🍀“

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

“Green State Bar and Grill adjoins Wholefoods and the seamless interface makes this eatery a serious proposition with great choice. In addition to I door tables and seats the restaurant features outdoor seating with a neat fire pit which is a terrific option for the sunny seasons. Accessibility and parking availability make convenience an added attraction, so common sense dictates a win-win call for Green State Bar and Grill in East Lansing.“

“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 bar selection and food.“

“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!“

“Went here for a night out in the beautiful EL and was served by Ella. She went above and beyond by continually providing prompt service always with a smile on her face. Even when my close colleague was lying on the floor she continued to provide great assistance by gathering both waters and mozzarella sticks (10/10) for him. I have since chosen her as my godmother for my 2nd oldest and she has continued to provide amazing service for us all!“
