“This was fun to try. It was my first time at a Korean hot pot and BBQ. The BBQ and the fresh seafood bar were very good. Something has to be changed for the gluten free broth for the hot pot though. It was kinda gross. it ruined the experience for me. I would give this restaurant 3 out of 5 stars.”
“Great place to eat went with the family for dinner and are waiter was John v he was one of the best waiters we have had, we did not have to wait for anything and did not have to ask for refills they were just brought that was some of the best customer service we have had and some of the best Italian food we have had will definitely be returning… :) — at Carrabba's Italian Grill (6540 West Saginaw Hwy, Lansing, MI).”
“The best BBQ. I love meat platter. The pork belly sandwich is amazing.”
“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.”

“My husband and I just celebrated my birthday dinner there this evening. We both must say it is an extraordinary restaurant with the best steaks we have had in the Lansing area. All the sides were fantastic as well! Service was exceptional and they are all so kind. We highly recommend this place!!”
“This is our first time at this establishment as we’re traveling across the state. We stopped in for dinner and had a fantastic experience start to finish! The cashier was new, but friendly and helpful - and the employee training her was doing a great job multitasking and being very attentive to customers. We will visit again when we pass through!”

“This was our first time making a purchase at this location! Very c lean and friendly environment! Staff was very knowledgeable of what is going on! If you’re in the mood for a sweet handmade treat made to perfection, like no they you have tasted, Crumbl is the place to be!!! 🥰☺️”
“Absolutely love this place! We were thrilled to find out an Afghan restaurant had opened in town. A friend got me hooked on bolani, and now I can get it anytime! I’ve since fallen in love with their pumpkin borani as well. The portions are perfect, the flavors are amazing, and everything tastes fresh and comforting. My boyfriend is a big fan too, and we make a point to stop in whenever we’re nearby. Five stars!”
“Though my food and waitress were not outstanding, what was outstanding was the manager at this location. Not only did he come over to deliver my drink and show us a cool trick, but he kept checking on us throughout the meal and went out of his way to ensure our satisfaction. Would come back just because of him.”
“A lot better food than I maybe was anticipating. Pizza is great! Chicken parm was really good. Its not fine dining, but more like a local family place. A really good local family place.”

“Staying in the town for a short term. This place is my go to for food. The taste is very good as comapred to other places. Naan bread is soft. I have tried different curries like lamb karahi, chicken madras and paneer tikka masala. All are delicious. I have also tried their fried rice and rice pudding. Recommended 100%”

“This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Lansing and the folks who run it are wonderful! They have the best garlic sauce in central Michigan and it comes with pita. The food is always always always fresh and delicious. I am not related to anyone there and I have not been paid or compensated in any way for this or any other reviews I may have given for this restaurant. I honestly just love their food and it never leaves me feeling cruddy. I have digestive issues sometimes from restaurant food and I always feel great after eating here. There is plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. They have yummy desserts as well. Now they have an amazing Lunch Buffet for around $15.00 and it’s a great way to try things you may be hesitant to try. It also includes salad choices, soup, hummus and their garlic sauce with pita!!! Two Thumbs up 👍 👍”
“This has become a birthday tradition for the kids and I. Always a good experience and great for the all you can eat option. Never feeling rushed or hurried. Friendly staff every time. I tend to shout this place out whenever I’m asked at work from out of town visitors.”
“The blueberry rhubarb margarita caught my attention, so we stopped in for dinner. The seafood risotto and the beef short rib were wonderful. My wife and I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“Good food for a fair price. The only complaint I have is when a customer/I'm/ we are ready to check out, the wait person won't walk away once they give you the electronic device to pay on. Doesn't seem to matter if you're in the middle of a conversation with somebody, they will not walk away without you tipping them and signing...I find that pretty rude. You'll get your money and maybe even more of a tip if you walk away and let me finish my sentence to whoever I might be with.”

“Update on 08 June 2026: The hotel responded to my review and provided a credit for the $15 erroneous breakfast charge. I have therefore revised the rating to 4 stars.
This was a great stay (3 nights) and I had no complaints until checkout (that's the reason for the 3-star review). The accommodations were great and the breakfast was of a decent quality and great value.
As a Hilton Gold member, I am eligible for a $15 daily credit on food. It's a good thing I requested a copy of my folio. I noticed that I had been charged for one day's breakfast and no credit had been applied. When I pointed this out to the front desk associate, she said a refund of $15 would be provided. I left and a week later was disappointed to see that no $15 credit was refunded for the error. It is not a huge amount but causes one to wonder if this is just a sneaky trick to rake in a few extra bucks from unsuspecting guests. Please verify your bill before check-out.”
“Edit) the AI robot can’t understand you and workers should be at the order window. I understand every company has a worker shortage but you don’t need to let AI take over. Worker was not friendly and half of my quesadilla was left in the bag because it was crammed in there. The remodel is not as nice.”
“Just ordered some food about 30 minutes ago in the drive thru. The staff were super friendly! The wait for the food was also short! On other dates when I have ordered here things have been good too. Today was excellent service so that is why I am leaving a review!”
“I will NEVER NEVER go back to that location! It's has happened MULTIPLE and MULTIPLE times the Fries are very muchy they are not done and cold the BURGERS are COLD and made VERY VERY sloppy and have been Treated VERY VERY RUDELY! I WOULD RATE this LOCATION a NEGATIVE 10 MY LAST VISIT was 8/23/2022”
“It was a good experience. ordered 10pc chicken nuggets with fries, The fries felt hot and fresh. The chicken nuggets were crispy and enjoyable but they forgot 2 of my nuggets not a big deal but I would have liked to have those 2 chicken nuggets. Very good food though very friendly.”
“We had a great experience with the kids! The staff was very helpful and kind. The food was amazing, so fresh, and since there was a large selection on the menu, we all found something we enjoyed. We'll be going back, for sure.”
“Stopped in to get some bay leaves, which I could only find at the grocery store for $11 per jar. I love that I could buy just the amount I need, so it's always fresh! Also bought some dill seed. Super happy that I spent a lot less than $11 to get what I needed. The staff is very helpful and friendly as well. Will definitely return and recommend as often as possible.”

“The bread on these subs are so good. We loved the combinations of flavors. The vegetarian options are outstanding. No joke, this is probably the best hoagie I've ever had. As a bonus, they have really fabulous ice cream and chips. Get the subs toasted! The bread is still soft.”
“Lovely little coffee shop! I enjoy their Westside location and am so glad to have a spot on the Eastside that is more convenient for me. The space is bright and welcoming, the baristas have always been friendly and helpful, and the staff has been very accommodating of my service dog and I. They even asked and provided him with a pup cup during our last visit! (To be clear, they are not a pet friendly business and only allow service animals per the ADA.) I typically order tea, though they have a nice selection of coffees and pastries as well. My only critique is that I wish they had more cozy, lounge-type seating, since right now they have mostly desks (although with plenty of outlets for online work). We've been here a few times already since they opened the Okemos location and will continue to visit often!”
“My partner and I had never been to Hooked, but we came for a Euchre tournament. The owner Matt is so pleasant, and the employees are so kind and gracious. The coffee and food were delicious. We highly recommend Hooked, and we will be at the next Euchre tournament for sure! Kudos Hooked on a job well done🙌🙌🙌”
“The food was delicious and everything we ordered tasted amazing! Our server was amazing but I wasn't too fond of the manager walking around yelling at all his employees who were busting their butts trying to provide the best service to the customers. I've worked in restaurants for about 10 years now and I know things can get frustrating during dinner rushes. But being the owner of the restaurant and treating your employees so poorly while you have customers trying to eat isn't ideal. I watched this guy yell at all his cooks and servers. Also was rude to a server about a chair when they didn't know said chair wasn't allowed in the outside seating area. I really hope this manager takes the extra steps to pull people aside and be discreet when addressing something instead of causing a scene like we saw tonight. Other then that, we enjoyed this restaurant and the food!”
“I love Blaze Pizza! You walk up to the counter and the process begins. Pick your sauce, cheese, toppings and spices. You can see them put it in the brick oven. The whole restaurant smells delicious! In less than 10 minutes, you have a piping hot personal pizza! It's my favorite pizzareria!”

“We’ve become regulars since Elsa’s first opened, and I cannot rave about this place enough. I love their dirty sodas, their fried treats, and just about their whole menu. Their prices are super fair and everything is delicious. We always leave very happy and very full!”
“I always try to stop in here when I am in the West Lansing area. The atmosphere is always calm and peaceful, the staff always go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, and best of all the furniture is very, very comfortable! I tell everyone about them!”
“I don't know what I had today - it just looked good from across the counter. It was superb! Kept me going through a long afternoon of Christmas shopping. It was a big pita with spices, white cheese, olive oil and fresh chopped tomatoes. OMG. Soooo good!! Thank you, Reem!”
“Enjoyed our meal. There beer was delicious. The waitress was amazing”
“We came for the food since we do not drink, but if you like IPAs this place has a lot of great stuff and a great setting. Plus the male Bartender was nice. But like I said we came for the food! It was very good! My husband had the Olive burger and fries and said it was excellent. My daughter had the kimci fries which was a huge portion and looked so good, she loved them but did say they were a little spicy. I had the Brussels Sprouts Vegan and they were so good! I also have the kalamata Olive vegan Bread was a little to salty for me, I think it was the garlic salt in the everything seasoning. I would order it without that on it. I'm excited to try their other vegan options!”
“The food here is fabulous! This restaurant has become our favorite in the Lansing area. We have eaten here 3 times so far and each time was perfect. The food is so tasty and plated so attractively that I think there must be somebody cooking that has chef qualifications. The wait staff makes the meal even more enjoyable. All have been friendly and extremely efficient. The restaurant is clean, cozy and comfortable. We passed the word on to our daughter and son in law. This place has quickly become their favorite restaurant in the area! Check it out, you won't be disappointed!”

“Fresh, hot food! Great customer service, every time. Come check them out!!!”
“So freakin’ good! I stopped during restaurant week and got the cheeseburger cupcake (white cake and buttercream). It may be the best white cake I’ve ever had and the buttercream is top shelf as well. My partner had their German chocolate cupcake and said it was in their top 5 cupcakes of all time. Can’t wait to try their other creations. Highly recommend!”
“The best Cuban cuisine in the area by far! We tried multiple menu items: sandwiches, empanadas, Papas Rellenas, and even the french fries. They were all excellent! The customer service was exceptional. We received a thank you note with our order. We will be taking our family back soon! Definitely visit La Cocina Cubana, East Lansing!”
“I took my mom to the Edgewood Blvd Lansing one yesterday 5.10.24 at 4:15 pm and the food was fabulous. Better than it ever has been. I haven't ever complained about their food and last night was no different, but whatever they did it was all cooked way above perfection. I have not gone anywhere that I can remember and had such an amazing meal as last nights. I usually save some to take home to the hubby, but not this time. I ate it all except a dog scrap piece 😆(that's what the waitress called it). I got the 6oz sirloin (med well) and ribs & mom got the sirloin and shrimp. The ribs were extremely tender and the sirloin was so juicy and perfect. The ribs are always delicious, but will still have just a touch of dryness to them. Last night the meat was flaky and fell off the bone with barely a touch. The service was excellent too. I can't remember our waitresses name, but very friendly and right on top of it. Even my mom said the waitress did a good job. Last night was definitely worth the over-tip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟”
“Fantastic seafood, great environment and friendly staff. 10/10 recommend.”
“Went to Falsettas last night we live in Jackson Zand have been going there for years. We waited 15 min to be seatedand they were empty. The food was horrible veal parmesan was so tough you couldn't cut it. Garlic toast Was old. Mac & cheese was gummy.and the Prices have gone way up. Won't go there again”
“Always a great place to eat. My family and I have dined here numerous times and really enjoyed it. I want to say thank you so much to all of the staff that has donated bottles to my son's bottle drive for wrestling. You guys are awesome and helping him create core memories he will always remember.”
“We enjoyed a delicious dinner with great friends at Mitchell's in Eastwood Town Center. Our server, Angie, was superb.Great food, comfortable atmosphere, and great service. We highly recommend Mitchell's!”
“Amazing experience. We have been here before and had almost forgotten about it. It was a nice quiet evening with a casual, not rushed dinner. My wife had the salmon and I had the steak. They were both prepared perfectly and served hot with a great presentation. I had the espresso martini for dessert and it was a great finish for the evening. Thanks for being there for us.”
“Absolutely delicious 😋 celebrated my daughters bday this evening. The food is so fresh, sauces were amazing and service was fantastic. Definitely a favorite 🩷”
“All I can say is WOW. Truly the definition of QUALITY SERVICE! Alyssa B didn’t just meet expectations — she redefined them. She waited on us with confidence and ease, anticipating needs before they were ever voiced. Service like that doesn’t just happen — it’s intentional, and it shows. She is the best!”
“Amazing place and service!!! We came in last night and the service was great. Jessica MH was absolutely amazing and the food was great. Definitely coming back 💯”
“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!”
“Our server, Sarae, was so good! Fast, efficient, and FUN! She took great care of us and we will definitely ask for her next time! Thanks, Sarae!!!”
“Quick service, good food. Waitress was very friendly! Go Green!”
“First time here and food plus service was amazing! You get huge portions of food. I highly recommend and owner was very friendly as well”

“We are pass holders and go pretty often. We’ve visited several different locations but this one is our favorite! It’s clean, the staff are friendly, and they do a great job on the pizza. I’ve never waited more than a few minutes for food either, even when it’s slammed.”

“We have used Jalapenos many times as catering for work meetings and it is always so good. They take the time to prepare everything and give everything that is needed to serve the food as well. It is to the point where some team members will find their way into meetings when they hear we are getting Jalapenos for lunch!”

“We had a great dinner experience at Olive Garden, and a huge part of that was our waitress, Sami. She was incredibly pleasant, friendly, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with throughout the meal. She had such a positive attitude and made the whole dinner feel relaxed and welcoming.
We definitely kept her busy with all of our little requests, extra cheese grinding, and particular preferences, but she handled everything with a smile and great attentiveness. She never made us feel like we were inconveniencing her and stayed upbeat the entire time.
One of the highlights was getting to chat with her about the Upper Peninsula. It was fun hearing about her trips to Gogebic County with her dad. Those little personal conversations really made the experience memorable and showed how personable she is.
Excellent service, great attitude, and just an all-around wonderful server. Sami made our evening better, and we hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Five stars all the way!”

“The best Indian restaurant in the Lansing area!
I got to enjoy this place twice in one week, once with my family, and another time with my girlfriend and some friends, and everyone left full and happy.
The first time I had the curry goat, and the second time I had the lamb rogan josh. Both were absolutely outstanding and perfectly cooked, and the portions were quite generous. My girlfriend had the aloo gobi which had a deep rich flavor without being overly heavy with sauce. The gobi manchurian appetizer was also to die for!
The food is high quality and incredibly well seasoned, not just with generic spice mixes. I am also a big fan of spicy food and was pleasantly surprised at how strong the 'Indian spicy' level was. But they were also able to make food medium or mild according to each guests tastes, without sacrificing overall flavor.
The servers are incredibly friendly, and not overbearing at all which is a hard balance to strike. I loved the lighting inside and also was very happy to see that you could also get alcoholic drinks with our meal, which you don't usually see in local Indian places.
Everyone should check this place out. It's great if you're already a fan of Indian food, and also the perfect place to take people who wish to try it for the first time. I can't wait to go back again.”

“I had a great time here. I went on a Sunday and it was very busy, with a 30 minute wait.
I had the chicken and waffles and a Chai tea. Everything was great. I also sampled my friend's breakfast lasagna and it was amazing. I highly recommend the breakfast lasagna especially.”
“This place has a fantastic Pub atmosphere. The food is wonderful. The service is outstanding and the vibe is just what you want. You can stay there and have a nice dinner. Or you can grab a drink with your friends and hang out for a couple hours. Either way, you're going to love it. One of the best parts is the fact that even when it's packed it's never too loud. I have never had to raise my voice to be heard by my table mates. This is truly one of my favorite spots!
Oh and you definitely need to get an order of the tipsy treats!”
“Thank you Marc for such Beautiful service ... You were very kind from the speaker to the window. Jus rolling through the town to take my Daughter back to college, but this will be my on the go spot, from April on March 8... Thank you❤️ Great Food & Great customer service👍🏾”
“First time coming was amazing! I went around 3ish and the line wasn't too long for the weekend. The girl that took my order was sweet and the other girl at the table was really nice when I asked about suggestions for the next times and told me about their free drink system. Definitely signing up for the future”
