    Mexican Burrito with Home-Style Potatoes
    LeChele P.

    I am overjoyed that I finally stopped in to eat at Blondie's! I have been a lifelong resident of the area but had never been. And, now I know I've been missing out! The restaurant definitely has a hometown feel. There is a small hostess stand, in the seating area when you walk in. The team members we encountered seemed friendly and were helpful in helping us make our food selections. We were seated at a table, which was clean but the remnants of a child eating pancakes before we arrived, was still evident on the floor. It didn't bother us per say but should be noted. For breakfast, we decided on the Mexican burrito with chorizo, with a single pancake as our side, cause why not?! We decided to split it after hearing the burrito is the second biggest item on the menu. And, glad we did! The burrito was huge, stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese, chorizo and refried beans. Then topped with sauce and more cheese and plated with a side of potatoes. Legit, SO good! The pancake was also nicely sized and we split that too. The perfect crispy edges and the fluffy middle wrapped up our meal quite nicely. The last thing that made this place so great was our bill. We legit left paying about $20 and that included tip! I think we may have found our new breakfast place! Couple last side notes: if you like to get your booze on during breakie, this isn't the place but come eat THEN go get boozy elsewhere! They have plenty of parking as well, just watch for the potholes.

    One of my favorite breakfast places in East Lansing area. They have good sweet and savory options, my go to order has been a waffle and chocolate chips. I love their omelettes as well. Although it is always crowded we typically get seated within 15 to 20 minutes. It's not the cleanest environment, but all of our servers have been amazing.

    If you are in the area you need to check this place out. The food is amazing but I loved the names of the dishes too. The food fresh and homemade not processed. The service was outstanding local hang out vibe. This one makes the list to revisit soon.

    Absolutely a great choice when you're looking for good hearty diner fare...This place is popular and for good reason. Best known for breakfast, and lunch. Portions are big and there's a good variety of choices. Service is fast, very pleasant and seem to be happy doing what there doing...thus there is a very good energy to the place and everyone seems at home. It's a very casual environment. Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend.

    Dining room. Love the murals.

    A quaint neighborhood breakfast and lunch restaurant. We are in town visiting our family, staying in the area and found Blondies Barn. We have visited twice for breakfast and thoroughly enjoy the service by friendly staff and very quick service. We both enjoyed their pancakes, eggs, has browns and meats. We are from Phoenix and haven't seen these low and great prices in such a long time. Thank you for the great experience while on vacation.

    The service is bad. They were not busy, and I sat there for 20 mins before I left. My table was dirty and sticky.

Got big size glob of hummus that had the consistency of play dough and very dry. Veggies were celery, carrots, sliced cucumbers and some fried 1/2 round (ritz sized) chip. For me at least the appetizer wasn't very tasty and I'm glad I had some water to drink! Ordered some soup and soup was decent but ordering a "bowl" results in getting a 1 1/2 size cup of soup. A member of my party ordered the football shaped pot pie which had a nice presentation with some burnt edges. To me at least it was more of a corn and chicken pot pie instead of having the vegetables I'm used to seeing (peas, green beans, etc). Tastes fine but I've tasted much better. One member of the party loved the sweet potato tots and their wrap. Only one person tending the bar and tables. Food took a while to be served. Tip level started at 20%! I'm not interested in going back.

They were microwaved and still had the stems on them which means they weren't cleaned up at all. Really nasty and not what you would expect from a fine dining spot. The entrees came out and the plates had food stains on them. So the back of the house definitely isn't following best practices when it comes to cleaning and sanitizing which is a really huge eww. This used to be a great spot to get a good meal but things have definitely changed for the worse. Service was not good either. We saw 3 groups of people leave after not being acknowledged by the wait staff. This place needs new management asap.

The okro, which has okra, is a kind of spicy curry and the owner was kind enough to warn us as we placed the order. We ate both with the pillowy soft fufu. The veggie and chicken bowls were filled to the brim and contained jollof rice, plantains, and tart green leafy veggies with green bell pepper. Additionally the veggie bowl had refried beans and the chicken bowl had shredded chicken. Delicious and hearty bowls. Must try in the East Lansing district.

When…read moreI heard about a new Nigerian restaurant in East Lansing, I was excited to give it a try. When I arrived, I was the only customer. I was greeted with a simple "hello," which gave me a good first impression. The restaurant itself looks very new, with a decent amount of seating, including some lounge seating tucked away in a small hallway. There was a large TV on wheels displaying a slideshow of the menu, which was a bit unconventional but not necessarily a bad thing. At the register, I started asking the cashier a few questions to understand the menu better. The layout was different from other Nigerian restaurants I've been to, and I wasn't seeing the exact dishes I usually order. However, instead of being helpful, the cashier responded with a snarky attitude, making it feel like my questions were an inconvenience. He then suggested the Spartan Bowl, listing the ingredients, and I thought it sounded good. He mentioned needing to check if they had the drumsticks for it, then walked away. I stood there waiting for a while before assuming he had gone to prepare my order, so I sat down. About 10-15 minutes later, he returned with a box in his hand. Without a word, he rang up my order, I paid, he bagged my food, and he simply walked away. No "thank you," no "enjoy your meal," no effort to make me feel welcome--just silence. When I looked at my meal, it didn't look appetizing, but I kept an open mind. Unfortunately, the taste confirmed my concerns. The plantain was overcooked and burnt, the sauce on the chicken was unpleasant, and the chicken itself was tiny and unappealing. The only redeeming part of the meal was the jollof rice, which was just decent. I won't be returning. The poor customer service and disappointing food made for an overall bad experience. I hope they improve both their hospitality and their food quality because first impressions matter. If you're curious, I'd say try it for yourself--but as of now, I can't personally recommend it.
