    Steak and Onion classic meal
    Matt K.

    My first time at a Big John restaurant. I've been really wanting a good Philly Cheesesteak sandwich lately and this is really as close as it gets in Michigan. I've always seen their commercials up North but never had the chance to visit one. The staff were super friendly and helpful here at the Cedar Rd Lansing store and it was great to watch the cook make everything fresh. I was worried that the steak wouldn't be seasoned right or be dry like so many other imitations I've tried at other places that claim to have a cheesesteak. But I needn't had worry as their ribeye was chopped very thin, was very flavorful and had plenty of juices and seasoning. If you're looking for a cheesesteak, per se, maybe ask for some extra provolone cheese - but otherwise this was a wonderful working man's sandwich and I really like the atmosphere. Keep up the great job John, keeping people full!

    8 inch #4 with Chili Cheese Waffle fries and a Soft Drink

    I ordered the 8 inch Steak, Cheese & Mushroom Sub sandwich (#4) for $6.70 along with the Chili, Cheese Waffle fries ($1.80) and a 20 oz. Soft Drink ($2.25). Total after tax was $11.40. The steak sub had excellent, meaty and juicy flavor that was complimented well by the cheese and mushrooms. I enjoyed it very much. The chili on the fries lacked any heat, and the waffle fries themselves lacked body and texture. If I go back again I would just stick with the sandwich. I would probably get the foot long and just fill up on that.

    Waiting in anticipation!!

    I had seen this place while driving across the state before. Being from the Philadalphia area I am always curious when I see Steak Sandwich places. So I stopped here and guess what? It was pretty good. It doesn't hold a candle to Gino's or Pat's or even Tony Luke's in Philly but it was decent for mid Michigan. Roll was of a good consistency to hold the meat. ( not to hard, not to soft). Meat was tender, well chopped and flavorful. Cheese was American which is not a bad thing altogether. I am an advocate of Jersey Mike's which still beats this place but the prices were fair, so there you go.

    A great place to stop and have a delicious steak sandwich. I haven't been here in quite a few years, but it was just as good as I remember. Don't forget to get some sauce. Cheap eats!

    Very tasty sandwiches and the sides are generous. Very affordable, way better than your chain options.

    We loved it! Generous meat portions, tender and tasty, too! Drizzle on some of the red sauce. Waffle fries good also. Good prices.

    We usually order Hungry Howie's as soon as we're in town. It's tradition when we come back to visit…read morefamily. Not any more. It hasn't been the best recently and crappy attitudes don't help. The wait was longer than quoted by about 20 minutes and they didn't include the lettuce and tomato that was specifically ordered with one of the subs. Not the end of the world, but the attitude from the call taker was pretty poor. Don't make a customer feel "less than" or demanding because they want something how it was ordered and you made a mistake. My wife called and was treated this way. An hour later and we still saw no lettuce and tomato. Another call and more attitude from the same call taker. A manager got on the phone that time and assured her it would be on the way soon. eventually it got there, but it was too late for my wife's dinner by then. We understand when a restaurant gets busy. However, when you make a mistake, learn to own up to it and do your best to fix it immediately. We shouldn't be waiting in a queue or rotation for you to correct something dumb.

    Just an FYI when the dishes are dropped on the floor they are just picked up and used, not washed…read more MAYBE the floors are cleaned once a day. I was not trained on how to use the sterilization sink. Maybe people use gloves. Your delivery driver is paid 5.05 an hour and doesn't get that delivery fee. They are supposed to get .55 cents a mile, but when you do the math, that's impossible. The managers steal tips from drivers. They say you don't have to go to dangerous places, but insist you go to places because they are too "sketchy" for Door Dash to deliver to. I was hired as a driver, but spent much of my time washing dishes, which I didn't get paid tips for. Hands down the WORST job I have ever had and made me scared to ever eat there again.
