Restaurants near Lansing

“Absolutely fantastic food at great prices. I’ve never had anything off the menu that I didn’t like. They are striking a unique balance between sophisticated farm-to-table food at diner prices and classic Americana staples that scratch all the itches while still using local ingredients. Every detail of their food, down to excellent local hot sauce and freshly ground pepper and sock salt on the tables, is thoughtful without any degree of snobbery. The space is casual and comfortable and has the feeling of a place you want to become your “spot.””

“Great service and delicious food. It was fun to see everyone talking and they even have a dart board. The fried haddock was perfectly done and the French dip was good. Horseradish aioli is not to be skipped! Nicely done apple crisp, creamy rich cheesecake, and great flavor to the carrot cake. You can even buy a bottle of wine to go which is perfect if you are staying in the hotel.”

“Absolutely the best laid back time around!! Service with a smile, and great conversation!!! Don't drive by it!!Until the next drink,Ryan WoodTanner's Bar & GrillAthens, Pa”

“Looks like not much of anything from the outside, but the food is great. The first calzone I had there was crispy and unmatched by any I have ever had before. Excellent marinara to the side. The second calzone was slightly softer, but still great and probably caused by sitting while I drove to my husband. The falafels are spectacular. Some of the best I have ever had. The chicken and beef gyros were also excellent. Worth multiple visits to try everything! My only regret is that we couldn't stay in town long enough for me to order a pizza from them.”

“Cozy atmosphere! I loved the artichoke and spinach pizza. It was very tasty. My friends love the honey pepperoni pizza! Friendly service. Reasonable prices for both the food and drinks.”

“Our favorite local spot in Lansing! There is no such thing as a stranger when you come to Crossroads, everyone is family. The food is outstanding, service is prompt, atmosphere is warm and inviting.”

“Small place with limited seating, so keep that in mind if the place looks busy and you're hoping to sit indoors. The food was amazingly delicious! We got the savory and sweet Dolce Special which was A+”

“Everyone and their mom needs to go to Sicilian delight immediately everything is gas it’s must try! If you are lucky enough to go on a day that Michael is working the service will be even better then the food, seriously the best ”

“Bowl is a healthy meal option but it didn’t hit the mark in terms of taste for me. Fresh fish smell in the meal is not great for me, but if you like that and sea weed, you might love it. I don’t remember the name but a crunchy toppings was great.”

“BEST PIZZA in Ithaca area. Great service. "Franco's Favorite" pizza by the slice or pie is unique and the best. New location is amaizing, open and enjoyable. Super friendly and warm place to share with friends and family.”

“The best. As they say, "I hope I die before Asia Cuisine goes out of business." This restaurant can make basically any asian food from sushi to sesame chicken to bulgogi to bento to homemade yakisoba. And if you order for pickup, the food is ready so fast! 2 quick parking spaces on Seneca Street so picking up food is easy. Also, dining in is surprisingly pleasant even if the restaurant looks like nothing special from the street.”

“We have visited this restaurant on 10 occasions , including takeout. I am vegetarian so my go to meals at the restaurant tend to be mushroom butter pasta, and vegetarian Ramen soup. The mushroom pasta is an excellent choice for vegetarians. The tofu vegetarian Ramen soup has an abundance of fresh vegetables, and the broth is excellent. I have enjoyed meals there with business partners, family members, and friends Service is prompt and polite. Takeout orders are timely and so far in seven orders we have not experienced a single mistake.Vegetarian options: Mushroom pasta, Vegetable Ramen, Spring rolls.Parking: Restaurant is within an offstreet plaza with shops, including an office of NY DMV.Kid-friendliness: Most tables are 4 tops and I have noticed families with children on most of the in dining visits.”

“Wonderful experiences here over many years. My son is a Cornell undergraduate in Ithaca, NY, so we visit often. The ice cream is home-made by Cornell students from local dairy cows. The Cornell Dairy Bar is in a cafeteria located on campus in a modern building with big glass windows. The space is well-lit with lots of small tables and chairs. The dairy bar serves many unique flavors of home-made ice cream, cones, ice cream floats, sandwiches with vegan options, burgers and hot dogs (of meat or vegan options), a wide variety of drinks, coffees, teas and bottled waters. No beer or alcoholic beverages are available. Prices are very modest and reasonable. Food, service and the local ambiance are excellent, and everything is managed by Cornell students. Ice cream is fresh and flavorful, very smooth and creamy, so it melts easily in your mouth. If you're dieting or vegan, this is definitely worth suspending diet or vegan habits because the interesting, innovative flavors are unpredictable but remarkable and surprising, especially delightful because everything is created and managed by Cornell students, teachers and staff.”

“Great coffee shop! Nicely plant themed and the service is good. The coffee was solid as well, a 7.6 flat white. The best part of it was being able to take a coffee 5 mins walk to the nearby Ithaca Falls and enjoy a coffee by the waterfall - perfect!”

“Via's cookies offer the homemade experience you crave, while supporting struggling college students. I'm a particular fan of the vegan, gluten-free varieties and love that we can order these for a group and know there will be something for everyone.”

“The ice cream is pretty good here! Got the Trick or Treat (vanilla and marshmallow base with candy inside). As someone who appreciates contrasting textures, I loved the soft, icy sweetness of the vanilla ice cream with the crunch of the MnM and sprinkles. Delicious! It's a little pricey, but a one-scoop is more than enough with a waffle cone for about $8. They don't really skimp on the ice cream, and offer samples. They're all-in for Halloween, with lots of decorations around the store, a pumpkin decorating crafting station, Halloween candy bags, and 30% for coming in with a costume. Would definitely recommend!”

“OMG SO GOOD. I did not expect to have such delicious French food in Ithaca!!!! Everything tasted amazing, make sure to order their steak fries, so tender and creamy.”

“I've heard about the Lincoln Street Diner from past family members and people from Ithaca. This was my first and not last time dining. The atmosphere is very light, warm and welcoming. It was nice to walk in the door and feel like I stepped back in time. Everyone worked together like a well oiled machine. They wanted you to be there and were ready to serve you. I was asked if I wanted to sit at the counter. Part of the ambiance was listening to the conversations of others. I orderd coffee, and a Philly cheese omelet with homefries and toast. I was delighted to find they offered sourdough bread. The coffee was very good and my food was delicious, made with love and care. The people serving were very kind and attentive. They knew incoming people's orders before they walked in. I left feeling very satisfied and comfortablely full.”

“Andy is amazing. Just served our family of 22 people plus and his other lunch customers. He didn’t get anything wrong. He was polite the entire time and the food was excellent. Thank you Andy.”

“Gorgers has become a must-do for lunch whenever I visit Ithaca. Great range of creative subs, and I really appreciate that almost everything can be made vegetarian or vegan, using eggplant or their homemade seitan (I've enjoyed the seitan on multiple occasions). Great looking sides, etc., but a small sized sub is more than enough food for me. Can't wait to get back!”

“Love this place! Would've been 5 stars across the board, but the worker today was not as friendly as you would expect. Everyone has an off day, though, so I will definitely be back!Dietary restrictions: There were a few desserts that were gluten free, and tasted amazing!!!”

“Bulgogi Pho was delicious, great portions and huge depth of flavor. Small place with lightning fast service. Only knock would be the almost fast food atmosphere, but the food more than offset this.”

“Good wines, friendly & knowledgable staff, (sanitary pours too). I was here for a wine trail event, but would revisit. (My group prefers sweet: I purchased the Sweet Abby's Red, I believe the other purchases were Bellissimo & Pasa Tiempo.)”

“Delectable food and exceptional service. Taverna Banfi defies expectations for a student-run restaurant. The dishes are absolutely gorgeous both taste and presentation wise.The duck is tender and savory with the perfect amount of sweetness from the maple sauce and sweet potato side. The calamari is crispy and light. The wine pairing is perfect. The table-side focaccia is tender and airy.Perfect for elegant date nights or special occasions. Prices range from $30-70 per person. Parking is limited”

“Such a cute coffee place in the commons! Definitely pricey compared to other places, but overall super cute and they work pretty quick. There isn’t a whole lot of space for the number of people they have, so you may not be able to sit down during peak hours.Vegetarian options: Only one vegetarian option (avocado toast) but it’s good!”
