While in Lansing on business, my colleagues and I stopped in dinner. I had heard that olive burger…read morewas a Lansing thing and Leroys had one on the menu, along with a coney dog, so to Leroys we went. We sat in the middle room, off of the main bar area and were by ourselves. The bar was fairly lively for a Monday night, but we were greeted promply with a smile. Beers and food were delivered quickly. Everything was solid, but nothing blew me away. The olive burger was fairly one-note, but it was true to what I had read about it. The burger patty was good and the onion rings were solid. The coney dog tasted like a typical chili dog. All said, good food and good service.

I won't post the price but it was extremely reasonable. Turned to my right and struck up an easy conversation with the fellow enjoying his drink. I ordered a bar burger and it was Great! I was shocked to find the bill was only $10.00. Last night I returned for a drink with my wife. As soon as I entered we were greeted and offered menus and asked what we would like to drink. This is going to be a regular stop for me because it is friendly and prices are fair. Trust.

I am incredibly disappointed with our experience at Buddie's Pub and Grill. The red flags started…read moreimmediately when the initial plates brought out to our table were visibly dirty.Things only got worse when the food arrived. I ordered the chicken strips, and they were completely unpalatable. They tasted heavily of old, burnt ash and smoke, which means the kitchen is failing to maintain and change their fryer oil.I chose not to cause a scene or ruin a nice dinner while my family was at the table. Instead, I waited until they left and went out of my way to speak with the manager privately and respectfully. Rather than taking accountability for serving poor-quality food on dirty dinnerware, the manager hid behind rigid policy. They refused to offer a refund or an adjustment because the meal was partially eaten.Eating half a meal to see if it gets any better isn't an endorsement of quality--it's a customer trying to make the best of a bad dish. Waiting to speak to management privately was a courtesy to the business, not an admission of satisfaction.To make matters worse, I ended up losing over $20 on a meal I only expected to cost around $15 due to unexpected upcharges on the final bill. Paying a premium to eat burnt food in an unsanitary environment while being dismissed by management is unacceptable.I still have my physical receipt to prove my visit. It is highly disappointing to see a local, family-owned business treat paying customers with such disregard. We will not be returning, and I strongly advise others to look elsewhere for dinner.

I chose River House Grill this trip since it was a beautiful night, and on the water. While getting off the interstate and heading in to town, I noticed this eerie presence, nothing was open, signs were dark, stop lights not working... I got to River House and a few regulars were still milling around the bar, I was told they were closed due to a power outage throughout the entire city. After some conversation, they said if I had cash, I could still buy a beer (always carry cash!). The regulars moved on, and I was finishing my drink when the power comes back on! The owner Mike had already sent most of his staff home, as the estimated power restoration was well beyond their normal operating hours, but he said he would turn the fryers back on, and start the pizza oven since I was there. I told him he didn't have to and I would head back to East Lansing, but he insisted, at this point I was the only one in the place! Ordered a pizza, and boy was it delish! By the time my pizza had arrived, a few others had managed to come in and fill up the place! Thanks to Mike, Jen (bartender) and the staff who stayed! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu, and see the renovations next time I'm in the area! Cheers!
