Love golden harvest. Love the entire staff and everything they do! I put my boyfriend on when we first got together he was fresh from out of state and he's been obsessed ever since. Breakfast here is what we look forward to on Sundays. Seriously love you all and the food you feed us!! read more

This restaurant is more of a novelty than anything. First, they have great service (waiter). But expect to wait an hour for your food (it shouldn't actually take that long, but psychologically you will think the food tastes better if you are more hungry in the morning). I tried three dishes, all were so-so. The french toast is overly-sweet and nothing really special about it other than novelty flavors. The omelets tastes like any other omelet. Biscuits and gravy are bland. The only thing that was really great were the potatoes... It's an interesting place, worth trying once, but that's about it. read more

I've read a lot about this place and finally had a morning to try it. Thursday late morning and there were only a couple people there with plenty of seating options. I say at the counter and ordered the biscuit mountain and wasn't disappointed. The gravy was different than what I've eaten before, but still tasty. Eggs were perfectly cooked to order. The bacon was thick sliced and perfect. Big fluffy biscuits and seasoned potatoes rounded out the plate. Everything was excellent from service to food. I was able to watch orders being prepared from my seat. The French toast looked amazing. There seemed to be lots of orders of various types of French toast that day. Definitely a hidden gem. If you're concerned about long wait times at the beginning of the week, make a plan to stop in for breakfast or lunch on a Thursday. Go here! Eat good food!! Support local! read more

Golden Harvest - Biscuit mountain - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

The staff here are very friendly. They accept VENMO OR CASH, so be mindful of that when going. The wait time varies, but supposedly it's anywhere between 30 min - 1 hour. They don't have a lot of seating, but the inside of the restaurant is very artsy and a unique sight, to say the least. Food was OK, I think you should get something SWEET or the biscuits and gravy for something savory. read more

Golden Harvest - Shrimp and grits..! So good!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

I never want to give bad reviews but I might to with this place. It doesn't make sense to me how it takes you on average 10 minutes to make one dish. I came in on a Sunday morning. 10am'ish. I'm expecting to be out within the hour. I didn't get to work until noon. Place was busy for sure, but there were only 4 tables ahead of me when I got in. I'm sure everyone just ordered one item. It took a whopping 1hour and 40 minutes to get my food. I get it. I hear the arguments. I've read the reviews. You want good food? You gotta wait. Makes absolutely no sense to me how this works here. People defending them, you can burn me all you want, but in no way is this acceptable. Literally was making one order before the next. Was the food good? Yes it was. It was delicious. But not 1:45 wait time delicious. I don't know what else to say, just very very disappointed. I get it, it has its charm. And you want to support local. And you want to support an all female kitchen. But I don't know, if you're gonna open for business and plead for support from the locals, you have to do at least your part and have a plan. Unless, this was the plan all along. read more

Seeking a true diner experience?! Look no further than Golden Harvest on the north side of Lansing! Sassy and welcoming team members, zany decor, sticky condiment bottles, and tasty eats make this place a go to for hangover or any day nom nom's! Golden Harvest makes it simple, their menus are written on the walls and all meals are $15. We opted for the biscuits and gravy and polish scramble both with a side of regular French toast. The biscuits and gravy were perfect with a hint of Smokey goodness. The polish scramble was also tasty (needed a bit of hot sauce) but the fresh tomatoes and green onions, sprinkled on top, really set it off! The French toast, so simple yet so good! Our waiter was attentive and kind, and almost as important, kept the coffee coming! Can't wait to come back and see what other yumminess the menu has in store! Golden Harvest only accepts cash or venmo for payment so know before you go folx! read more

Very unpleasantly greeted upon my arrival, and did not feel welcomed to stay. From the photographs the food looks spectacular and I'm sure it is. I did not stay to order after being "greeted". read more

Be prepared to potentially wait an hour or longer, but the good is absolutely worth it. They make everything fresh! It was a little loud at times with the music, and it being small. I will absolutely be back, but next time, I know I won't need to order any sides, as the portion size is indeed enough. read more

So happy we found this place! Great food and great people. You may have to wait a while for your food, but once you taste it, you'll know why it's worth your wait. Reasonable prices and huge portions. I'd recommend this place to everyone in town. read more

Our son goes to MSU and we've had a REALLY hard time finding a good restaurant when we visit...until today! We are sooo glad we found this gem. Food is fresh and delicious with a creative twist. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The decor is whimsical, eclectic, and entertainment in and of itself. All in all a fantastic experience. We can't wait to come back! Newbie tip: they only accept cash or mobile payments like Venmo. read more

Really wanted to like this place, but it wasn't a good experience. The breakfast quesadilla sounded good on paper (or, the white board, since they don't have paper menus). But in reality, there was way too much going on. Too messy to pick up, it appeared to be almost fried on the outside and included a ton of spicy mayo (what?) on top of it. Really couldn't taste the eggs and bacon inside because of all the needless stuff going on. Service was really bad. The place is small but it was full, so I understand they were busy. But the waitress took the orders of two tables that came in well after us before she took ours. Took about 40 minutes for food to arrive. read more

Golden Harvest - Breakfast quesadilla. Way too much happening here. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Do not come here if you don't have at least 2.5 hours to wait/eat. It's TERRIBLY slow. And that's for breakfast at 10am on a week day. I can't imagine coming here on a weekend. You might need to pack a lunch. Staffing issues are not an excuse this long after COVID. This is a business management issue. read more

Sadness overwhelms me. Every time I come by to this old favorite it's closed. Now when open I love this place! Service is direct and efficient. The F*ck it omelette solid. Please open your quirky doors again...I miss the diner! read more

I adore and Love a delicious brunch spot. Great atmosphere. Speedy service with a smile.

Not bad, but wouldn't order my meal again. I would give this place another chance. I had the sausage gravy and biscuits with bacon and potatoes. The gravy was okay but not the best that I have had. Biscuits were good but not rememberable. The American fried potatoes were the best of the entire plate. read more

I'm in Lansing for a sports tournament and went to this place for breakfast and was extremely happy! The staff are all extremely friendly and we had nice conversations. The coffee is great and I had flowing refills, and I ordered the Blueberry French Toast and it was absolutely incredible. The vibes were great as well, it felt very cozy and comforting. Just not that they do not accept card, just cash & venmo. read more

Great food! Long wait. Our waiter, Darrell, gave his jacket to our friend because she was cold. He proved to be both a scholar & gentleman.

Worst dining experience of my life! My cousin and I had our toddler sons there for lunch. After two hours of waiting and several check-ins inquiring how long our food would take, to which none of the staff could give an answer, we decided to leave. One of the cooks approached us and in a very rude tone, told us we were "inconsiderate and that if this is what supporting a local business means to us, we shouldn't do it because she would have to throw all the food away." I will not ever be going back there and based on the way I was treated, will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone else. read more

The only positives about this restaurant are the decor and our waitress who was very attentive. Sat down at 9:30 am with no wait and didn't get our food for an hour and 20 minutes. No sense of urgency to fulfill food orders at all. The food was overly greasy. Ordered the BEC sandwich. The bread for the sandwich was on the grill for over a half hour and hard as rock by the time it got to me. Not worth the money, avoid at all costs. read more

The staff enjoy their jobs, great music and laughs happening. Food is always phenomenal! Made right in front of you, always changing and delicious. Arrive hungry! Large portions. read more

Went there twice in the last few months. Sad what it has become. Food was good the first visit, second visit the food was not to my liking. The main concern is the quality of service. Service is so poor; perhaps the worst I've ever experienced. However, I do like the staff. Business model seems unsustainable. 90mins till you receive food BOTH times I went. They can't make money if they don't provide a service. I would be willing to give it another shot if I've heard consistent improvements; however, everything I've heard is it is consistently poor. read more

Golden Harvest - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Absolutely off the charts!!! Best breakfast!! Fun atmosphere! Worth the wait! We had Tomatoe omelette, french toast and turkey hash.

I'll start with the ants the on the table. My wife and I were 1 of 4 tables when we first arrived. Total patrons were 10 including us. The table we sat down at had ants crawling on it. I don't kill bugs anymore.. those days are behind me, so rather than killing them, I just brushed them off the table. No ants were harmed trust me. "Some people just want to see the world burn." - Alfred from Batman. That's my assessment from the golden harvest staff. When we walked through that door to sit down for breakfast, I felt like I had just ruined their day. Not friendly people. I ordered a breakfast burrito, and my wife some sort of French toast. As I mentioned above, we were one of 4 tables at the time. One of those tables already had their food. We sat down at 10:32am and we got our food at 11:46am. My wife enjoyed her French toast. She was nice enough to give me a few bites. As for my burrito.. It was cold. My advice for the future of golden harvest? Close back down. read more

Yeah, buddy!!! GH is baaack! The last time we went was a while ago... (moved, had a kid, shut down...) you get the picture... since we went back, GH had gotten leaner and meaner. No more giant menus, longer hours, more days open, no more waiting... I like the two revolving menu boards... yes, you must be open to new food... but I LOVE trying new things, so that is okay for me. Today, my food was OUTSTANDING. I had the pork loin hash. It was fabulous... the veg, the flavors, the crunchy slaw, the chimichurri.... All on point. Our server was attentive. The coffee was delicious. Thank-you Vanessa and staff for cementing in me that GH has the BEST breakfast/brunch in Lansing. You are not afraid of flavor. The portion was back to being the generous plate we know and love. I'm so glad you have Venmo for those of us who don't carry cash (even though I did remind him so). thank-you for sharing your creativity in the kitchen. read more

Bubba sandwich is my favorite. Love this place! Wait times are usually pretty long but worth it.

Wow. The day didn't start well with a low tire pressure light on the dashboard. Then paid a crazy $1.50 to get air in the one tire. Thought a tire place might be able to take care of it during lunch but was greeted with discouraging 4 or 5 hr waits. What does this have to do with food? Well, if not for the tire misfortune I wouldn't have tried to go to the much touted Golden Harvest at 11:30 am. Given there was no school it was shocking to see no wait and empty seats. This place only has 7 tables with 4 seats each and a counter top with 9 added stools. They might cram a few extras here and there but max capacity is still only 40 or so. Which makes a wait almost mandatory for Lansing's best breakfast food and kitschy cool atmosphere. I'd heard about this place for awhile but my time in Lansing is always limited. Their specials are exalted and they lived up to my inflated expectations. I had the Voodoo Waffle - two waffles with brandied apple chunks, drizzles of caramel and cream cheese and two slices of bacon. Served up with a bunch of whipped cream. Yowza. The staff took very good care of me and I promised to return to try something savory. Very cool place. read more

This small little diner was amazing!! We came in on a Sunday morning and were seated right away. There was a little bit of a wait for food, but we knew that would be the case after looking at reviews. The staff was very attentive with water and coffee.

Golden Harvest - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

I love this breakfast place! If in Lansing, it's definitely worth giving a try and I would revisit. There is one big if to that suggestion: and it's if you are not in a rush or hangry! Come to this breakfast place ready to have quality time with your company and wait a while for your food, there is games and the service is excellent but the wait is upwards of 2 hours. I did not mind at all as it is a mom & pop type feel with one cook I didn't expect it to be quick but I do feel it's worth mentioning. The food is 5/5 and we enjoyed every bit of our experience! I can see why people would be upset with the long wait but it is certainly worth it. read more

Golden Harvest - The breakfast tacos and the destroyed but delicious French toast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

FRIENDLY TIP: PLEASE DON'T COME HERE HUNGRY (or in my case, hangry). My fiance and I got here at 9:30am, seated at 10:30, and were served by 12 noon. I made the mistake as a Yelper (how amateur am I) of not reading the reviews before coming here. The wait outside alone was brutal because it was around 20 degrees that morning as it just snowed the night before...and hey, I was hungry. I feel like I could go on and on and on with the cons maybe because of the state considering I was in. Here are some more besides the wait: * Our food were not served together. Fiance got his food first and 20min later, I got mine. Of course we were sharing his food and was almost finished before they served mine. * The music was nice. I loved everything they played but man, it was so loud it gave us headaches. We 'magically' ended up at Target for some Target Therapy afterwards! * Only one cook/chef on a Sunday morning. Totally understandable bec the place is so small they don't have a lot of kitchen space. But I felt so bad about the cook because he was working with backed up orders. I looked out the window and there was a huge line of patrons waiting to get in with only 2.5 hours left before they close. The only pros at this point are the decor and food: food was good just like what everyone said. We got the breakfast burrito and the corned beef hash. It was really nothing special, but there's not a lot of good breakfast places around Lansing to begin with. You could taste that it was made with love and maybe bacon grease...I'm not mad about that. The decor is a beautiful mess. I think that what occupied my mind as I was patiently waiting for my food. I'm always drawn to places like this - graffitis and street art. So yeah, please plan ahead, my friends. Bring a snack or eat breakfast before getting breakfast here...or jam out to the music like we did ;) read more
