“I took my boys here for their birthday and spent the whole day go cart racing. It was so much fun and Todd was the best!“

“What a great place with great food and great service. Came in around 8:30 PM with a group of eight following a graduation at MSU. Met the Manager who toldMe they close at 9:00 but they would stay open for us to order food. We were able to have a few drinks, appetizers and sandwich which everyone agreed were excellent. Anna I believe was her name was our waitress and she was excellent.“

“Henry’s Place has always had a casual, comfortable feel and just an overall good vibe. It has truly become a part of our community and you’ll not visit Henry’s without also bumping into people you know - I love that. Upon my most recent visit, Adam had taken over the helm at the bar and let me tell you - this guy can craft a cocktail! His specials are exactly that - SPECIAL! Unique and delicious. We tried his Barrel Aged Strawberry and we all absolutely loved it. Inventive, balanced, perfection. Keep up the good work Adam - can’t wait to see what’s next!“

“The nachos supreme are always on point. And a half order is huge! It does irritate me a little bit that they charge for sour cream and jalapenos, especially as much as they do, but nonetheless it's very good. Also, the lobster rangoons are usually phenomenal. Avoid the wet burrito.“

“Fabulous service. Amazing presentation of foods. Thank you for great food and an awesome experience.“

“This is a lovely place! Unique menu items, great flavors, nice portions and great service. Went to another restaurant but they had water main issues so they recommended the soup spoon cafe. I fell in love. Went back again to take my boyfriend out to breakfast and I knew he wouldn’t be disappointed. I was right! He love it as well. No doubt, it will become a regular spot from now on!“

“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.“

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

“We hosted a party of about 30 at HopCat last night for my son's MSUCOM graduation. First, I had a nice call ahead of time from Brett, the manager, to confirm the party and our arrival time. The timing was a bit tricky because of the graduation ceremony. Brett really tried to time everything for us so the room/food could be all ready to go right when we arrived. He even left his cell number for me-how many managers would do that?! So impressive!We had the top floor there which is an awesome space if you need a special event room. Everything was PERFECT! The food was amazing-all of it. We had the chicken taco bar, the burger bar, the boneless wings, and the Cosmic Fries. Our servers, Maria and Alyssa were warm, helpful, professional, and sooo efficient. They handled the crowd with ease and always made sure we had enough food, drinks, napkins, etc. They worked so hard to make our event a success for our guests. I cannot rave enough about the service we received at HopCat. They all went above and beyond. Brett, the manager, is on point with his management of this establishment!“

“Cool place if you like dimly lit dive bars. Was visiting for my son's basketball tournament. Walked in with my wife and was immediately greeted by some friendly locals They welcomed us and told us the jukebox is free lol. You can play anything you want and they love it. Come on over here if you want a delicious bloody Mary and a beer.“

“Best Pizza Around!! It hit the spot on New Years Day for my Momma that has been hospitalized for 2 weeks. I broke her in to 2024 with the Best, for the Best. Also; Thanks to one of the Regulars for the Warm Hug and Well Wishes for my Mom! *Cheers*“

“Dive with the best bartenders around!“

“The rooftop bar is nice but you look directly into bedrooms of an apartment building, so it's a bit awkward. Only decent place in East Lansing. Also a lot of college kids, which is expected in a college town, but they were immature and annoying.“

“Love this bar. I would say one of the best dive bars around. Love the outdoor seating, beer is cold and everyone is so friendly. Only popcorn is available, but I saw people ordering delivery. If you want a place with a cool vibe and great drinks look no farther.“

“This place is filled with the best people and the best event. I’m currently hosting auras after party Tuesday’s with live djs and there’s also a trivia night“

“Interesting little dive place with an unexpected ramen menu. Food was good, but needed a bit more seasoning (salt and pepper shakers were not at the tables).Lots of pinball machines, a pool table, and a stage for karaoke / live music. Looks Ike it would be a fun place to play a gig. Parking (Passport lot in the rear) may be an issue with a few other businesses on the same block.Service was fantastic. I always like it when the server brings a pitcher of water so we can refill ourselves. Wait staff was very receptive to my questions and gave good info.Would stop again for a karaoke night and to sample some more of their menu.Vegetarian options: Lots of options for vegetarian versions of several dishes.“

“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!“

“My husband and I visited on a Wednesday night and had a great experience! It was a fun atmosphere without being too loud. We both had cheeseburgers with fries and a Michigan Mule. Everything was SO delicious and fresh. All of the staff were super friendly and attentive. Honestly, we did not have high hopes for this place as it's a bar across from a college campus, but we were pleasantly surprised!! Will definitely return next time we are in town.“

“I hadn’t been in here since it was Darbs, a tough act to follow….but WOW, everything was absolutely fantastic!! The drinks (mules, Long Island), the food (tipsy Cali burger, brisket tacos), and the service (Alyssa) were top-notch. I’m so happy we tried it and I can’t wait to go back!“

“Went for karaoke with friends we waited about 35 min for a table. The bbq pork sliders bucket was really good but was not impressed with the loaded tots needed seasoning. As far as going for karaoke I won't go for that. The song selection was very limited. I would go back for the food though.“

“After trying two other bars we dropped in here to see what the music and people were like. We found our place! Awesome band, little older crowd which is exactly what we wanted (no skanks half naked walking around) TONS of dancing and drinks were flowing. Crowd was perfect for us and I'm just sad that I don't live anywhere near there because this would be "my place"!! Next time we are in the area, The Green Door is my nighttime stop!!!☑️?“

“Tonight I enjoyed their Friday night prime rib dinner and it was delicious. They provided horse radish and au jus. The service was outstanding.“
