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

“Discovered Buddies Grill when looking for a sports bar that was playing NBA Finals. Few bars I went to before weren’t playing the game but luckily Buddies had on (with volume) soon as I walked in. Michael the bartender is excellent at his job. Very personable and can tell is well liked from regular customers. Buddies Burger combo was also delicious! Cold beer went down nicely watching the game. Decided to come back next night as Michael said he’d have the NHL Finals on as well. Easy choice to return. Pricing I think is fair (compared to Ontario bar pricing anyways). Thanks for filling my NBA/NHL Finals needs on trip down for NASCAR! -Miller Light Mike from Soo Ontario“

“Had a wonderful 8 square “6 mile” at Northwestern Highway.“

“Valentine's 2026. Ordered from the regular menu as that's what we had planned and weren't aware of the specials. Solid execution. Good food. Nice portions. Chef and cooks keeping eye on dining room. Good service. Will be back.“

“11/10 will go again!!
It was my partners and i first time as adults and got incredibly good cocktails priced decently for their strongness and over all flavor (shortly temple- little strong, dirty expresso -perfect mix, tropical blue rum- can be on the strong side). The food was mind blowing and was perfectly seasoned accrost the bord with every bite of the lobster mac made me want one more bite even though I was full and had fantastic/friendly staff + wait time
Have to try out if you vener have!!!“

“Great food and a wonderful atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Ate outside, beautiful night. Jameson Highballs $6 good pour. $8.25 for a bare 1/4lb hot dog with onions, bun out of the bag. Condiments on the table. $3 fries were hot, larger cut. Not bad for downtown East Lansing. Had to pay for parking.“

“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!“

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

“Great bar selection and food.“

“This is a great bar! You should go here. Cozy atmosphere inside, great view outside. Loud inside right by the band as expected but the cozy corners and patio make for good nooks for conversation. I was here with a small group at a busy time but we were able to find seating outside easily and even after we had to move inside. This would be a great place for a date night“

“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 🔥😉🙌“

“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!!!!“

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

“I've been to the Green Door more times than I can count. For much of my 20s it was a weekly haunt for me and my family as we sang karaoke here. We stayed with them through host changes, even briefly hosting karaoke myself (note: do NOT hire me to run karaoke, I willingly accept being about the worst host the place ever had) and we stayed with them through the downturn in service that the pandemic and the subsequent kitchen closure caused.
Now that I live away from Lansing, I still try to visit the Green Door when I come into town.“

“We love this place! My partner and I go here once a week at least. It’s a welcoming place for locals and the food is affordable and good. You can get pretty much anything for under $20 and Lynn is always an excellent and attentive host!“

“Great hang out to meet people. If you enjoy playing darts or on a league, this pub has a separate room with many dart boards. They occasionally will have live music. The parking lot is fairly big, but on a busy day or night you might find yourself having to park elsewhere. There are security cameras outside that I'm aware of, so I feel safe parking in their lot.
I give a 👍!!“

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

“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!“

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

“love this place! staff is super friendly! Great food!“

“Fantastic seafood, great environment and friendly staff. 10/10 recommend.“

“I had the best meal at Buddies today! We were dining with 9 people and our server was on top of everything! Never forgot a single request, was quick with clearing our table, bringing more drinks and remembering extras. I got a chicken taco salad and said “this is the best taco salad I have ever eaten” maybe I was starving - or maybe it really was the best taco salad I have ever eaten - you be the judge! They also have a kid/senior menu (how smart to offer this to seniors too) and all the meals come with vanilla ice cream - but get this, you can upgrade it to moose tracks for a dollar - I AM OUTTTT.

Based on today’s experience, I can’t wait to go back!“

“run some deals in the arcade. good food and bowling, run some combos. advertise the arcade seperate maybe even name it, run the games half off on weekdays. do double picket days also. run groupons specials also. alot more can be done here to draw in people.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“Excellent food, with solid vegetarian options. The bar has plenty of pop culture and quirky decor. A laid back vibe and a good sized stage for music. Arcade machines and pinball throughout the multi-level venue. We tried the Vegan Green Curry Ramen and fried veggies. Exceeded expectations and a worthwhile destination if you looking for a good meal. Great atmosphere to hang out, play pool, have a drink, play pinball or classic arcade machines.“

“I was at the Watershed Saturday to have drinks and dinner with my Nephew. The food and staff was amazing. Also want to give a shout out to whoever found my wallet and turn it into Sabrina. Thank you for your honesty.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great place to eat with open air large windows and good selection of food. It took awhile to get our food, like 45 minutes. I wish the waitress would have told us an approximate time for our food. They must've had a large coward on the top deck because it was not very busy on the main floor.“

“Beer was very good, and the atmosphere is great! Definitely worth checking out for some amazing beer, and great food!“
