Went here right when it opened at 11 am on a Saturday. Place was nice, very midwestern with a lot of animals on the wall. Waitress was very and fast. We got a starter of the cheese bread and it was gas, super good, one of the best breads I've had in a long time. For my main I got bbq boneless wings, and they were good, not fat which I like and good crunch to them. Very good spot to eat read more

I ordered the club sub with tater tots and was pleasantly surprised it was good. I had set my expectations really low based on the reviews from others. The inside is quirky and seems to be a local go to spot for the locals. The waitress was nice and attentive to our needs. She even gave us free french fries since they forgot to do the tater tots at the same time as the rest of the meals. read more

Always great never had anything bad to eat or a bad experience. We like the variety of food and the people who service

The ambiance in here is cozy and inviting as well as the staff themselves! Never had a bad server here and they're always quick with the food! As far as the food goes, there are many options for whatever you like but my favorite item is the turkey club that comes with house made chips! The sandwich is heavenly and the chips are a great pairing with it! read more

They could hire a cook that knows how to cook. Walleye was overcooked and grease. Wife's meal was a chicken salad. Chicken was tuff. Like might have a day old. Customers three men sitting near by using the F word every time they opened their mouths. Told waitress apparently she didn't want to or was afraid to say anything to them. All in all terrible experience. Will not be going back there ever. read more

I was there about a week ago but will not return. It wasn't busy and l ordered a coney dog and chicken sandwich. I was the first in line and after waiting 15 minutes in which time 4 more cars pulled up behind me. Plus, there were three more young women who were busy socializing. There were probably 4 people inside, so it wasn't busy. The coney wasn't as good as Spartys. It wasn't warm and they forgot the cheese on my chicken sandwich. No, I will not go back. I really wanted to like this place after driving by many times and finally decided to try it. read more

Great food matched with great atmosphere ! Would highly recommend- food came to us very quickly and drink orders were well tended to !

Yet another reason why I don't try to patronize Leo's... Are you open or not? Had some people that wanted to spend money there, but the Leo's staff locked the doors well in advance of the posted closing time.... 11:05? Just own up and close the place @ 10:30 since that is the real effective time of closing. Weak. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!! I tried to place an order a the "manager" was so rude to me. From the start of the phone call he talked down to me and kept speaking to me as if he was doing me a favor. DO NOT EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT. The public deserves respect just like the staff does. The person was clueless that his tone was horrible. The people who earn the money to support local businesses have just as much pressure on the job. Everyone should receive respect, not just the staff. read more

I went for the first time on a Monday around noon. There was a fairly busy lunch rush, which is a good sign. I liked the decor, the food, and the prices. I'll be back the next time I'm in the area! read more

Well the place certainly has ambiance and is very manly if you like hunting but heck says it's a lodge so why would you be surprised? Lots of cars in parking lot so I thought we'd try it. We ordered take out and picked it up. Takeout service is at the bar and that's no problem. Bartender was quick to acknowledge me and get our order. So no issue on the service. Now the food: the food doesn't travel well even if it's only going down the road 10 minutes. I order the fried fish and it tasted like it had been previously frozen rather than being flaky when you eat it. It was even a little bit hard to cut with my fork, so I got out a knife. I had to microwave the fish for at least a minute in hopes that it would be cooked a little bit better. Fries are OK and coleslaw bit goopy. Overall, it was just OK. The other member of our party that ordered the grilled chicken sandwich said it was good, although the restaurant did not include the lettuce and tomatoes that we asked for with the sandwich. One of us got the crab soup and said it was good. Overall, I guess we would try it again, but we would eat in and order something different. read more

Great regular place. Most of the food is very good. Pizza is amazing and you can't beat the value.

This is the perfect place for a quick good meal that isn't high end but it isn't low end either. The prices are very good. 5 stars for being exactly what I expected. read more

I am a newbie traveling healthcare tech and the menu for this restaurant was at my job. I got my first paycheck and decided to treat myself to a good meal. I eat healthy during the week and go a bit crazy on the weekends. I had Virgin bloody Mary (damn heart med!!) it was garnished with pepper Jack cheese, pepperoni, pepperoncini, and pickle spear. It was so delicious and just enough heat. The pepper Jack crab soup caught my eyes on yelp. It did not disappoint!! Sooooo flavorful and not overly creamy-cheesy just a great mix of creamed soup with ample crab in every bite. Then onto my first bison burger which I special requested patty melt style with tomato slices. I asked for the onions to be well done but they weren't. They were nice and sweet so that helped, onion rings, bbq sauce to dip, and pickle chips. It was all delicious!! Then I got the carrot cake to go. I took one bite of course and it was pretty sweet!! I will nibble on it over the next few days (dang A1c sensitivity) Next visit I'll for sure eat outside but the indoor ambiance was like a lodge with deer heads every where and mellow atmosphere. Flat screens all around. A good solid local favorite I would assume. Brittany my waitress was newly employed and took great care of my wants. When fam and friends come visit this is definitely a establishment I will be bringing them to dine. I will be back with or without them!! Update on carrot cake....I've been savoring a little bit everyday and it gets better and better. If you are a fan of shredded coconut, walnuts, and frfr cream cheese frosting I highly recommend it read more

The waitress was really nice but it took a little while for food and the gluten free was okay.

We found ourselves in the area and in need of lunch. This parking lot was full and that was all the recommendation i needed. My buddy ordered the Leo Burger and chili. I ordered the Philly steak sandwich and the gumbo soup. The chili was good but I highly recommend the gumbo! The burger was good and so was the Philly. Our waitress Missi C was great. She was very personable and knew the items on the menu in great detail. Thanks for the good service and food. If I find myself back here I will eat here again. read more

Good food. Service was a bit slow. We've been a couple of times and the food was warm and the portions were a good size.

We were tailgating and the heavens suddenly opened up so we came here to watch the game, drink and have some food. The service was slow, our server forgot my drink and seemed frazzled. I got a burger & fries. My fries were gross & overcooked but somehow still cold. I only didn't ask for new ones because the server didn't come back for 20 minutes or more and at that point I figured I wouldn't get any better. The burger was meh...not something I would get again. The pizza my friends got looked decent but if in the area I'm not sure I would go here again. read more

Was in town for parents weekend at MSU. Hotel clerk suggested this and was right. Great food, Amazing service and prices were reasonable. We'll be back! read more

Had lunch there a few times. Was pretty decent. Good food and nice bartender. Today after work however.. a very annoying and combative man tried to engage me pervasively. Not the establishments problem right? The bartender let this man annoy me after repeatedly telling him I didn't want to talk to him. I struggled to finish my beer while looking for some help from her. As I left he hurled a verbal assault and still nothing from the bartender for help. FYI.. it's part of your job to realize a drunk prick making a quiet patron feeling uncomfortable. Religion and politics should not have to be discussed when unwanted. I've been there the 3 times. Not going again unless I stop to ask her why she ignored the fiasco. read more

Great place for American style food. The pepper jack crab soup is wonderful! It is definitely one of the reasons we go there. They do have a plethora of additional plates and foods to go with the soup. You will find a dish for just about everyone in your group. The barbecue sandwich is very good along with the burgers. Definitely worth a try. read more

Solid place to have a good meal with excellent service. Open on Sundays which is a bonus in Lansing. BOGO pizza on Sundays. Make sure to get a Leo's card! read more

This is our favorite place to get fried perch! They do it right at Leo's and their rolls are delicious too!

Always a great time at Leo's Lodge. We prefer to sit at the bar as we feel the service is better. Julia the bartender is always busy but still takes the time to make sure you are taken care of. Their BOGO pizza deal on Sunday can't be beat as their pizza is excellent. Highly recommend the lodge, but do t take my bar seat. ;) see you there. read more

Four of us went to Leo's on Friday night. Our waitress was awesome, she was knowledgeable, funny, attentive and prompt. Missy was our waitress, she brought appetizers, soup, salads, entrees and drinks. We all had a wonderful evening thanks to Missy. I love seafood and the Pepper Jack Crab soup was delicious. read more

Food is always reliable at all 3 Leo's locations. So is the ambiance. Service here tonight was less than stellar. That was surprising and disappointing. Perhaps a bad night for this server (Brecken). Won't stop us from coming back however. read more

This is just a regular neighborhood bar but their pepper jack crab bisque is my reason for the five stars. YUM! We were disappointed that the gluten free options were only for pizza. My daughter was hoping for some gluten free sandwiches. I was lying to myself that the broccoli bites were good for me but they were oh so good!! Ordinary place but try the bisque! read more

Last Friday I went back for lunch and tried the Venison Burger ($13.99) with a slice of Cheddar Cheese. ($1.00 extra) Topped with tomato, onion and lettuce, this was a tremendous burger. Juicy, tasty, big and meaty. I really enjoyed it very much and I will recommend it highly. The fries were crispy and hot and provided an excellent finish to a great lunch. read more

Homey food. Everything is good. Especially the burgers. And they have good gluten free buns

Looks like a dive on the outside, but the food and service were both outstanding. I had the salmon bruschetta salad and a hazelnut (frangelico) coffee. Both were excellent and selected based on server recommendations. Definitely will visit here again when in the Lansing area! read more

Not the most impressive place from the outside but has what you want inside; good service; reasonable prices and good food; had the daily special - a royal burger and it was really good; enjoyed the atmosphere and decor; they have a full bar; outdoor seating; pool table; and a lot of interesting mounted animals! Also has enough TVs if you want to watch a game; server quickly switch the channel for us which was appreciated! read more

This is a fun little place. It has that cozy log cabin feel, but provides the sports-bar experience you look for. I have been twice. First for a burger, next for an appetizer and beer. Both times were to watch MSU basketball. It's a few miles from campus, but close to a lot of student apartments. However, it definitely doesn't attract the student crowd. There's really no need to go into detail on this one. It's a quality place, with great burgers, and great cheesy bread. It's definitely towards the top of my list of Lansing area restaurants. read more

Just a really nice place you can enjoy. Staff members are friendly. Food is just what you need read more

The group of people I went to training with decided to come here as a group. We came in during a busy lunch rush, but got seated immediately. Unfortunately, we all ordered items that take a but longer. I ordered a burger. We realized we did not have enough time. When the waitress came, we asked if she was able to bring boxes and the check, in case we needed to rush out to drive back. The waitress was super kind and accommodating to our needs. She brought boxes and the checks. She came back quickly as well the collect the bills to that we could tip and get our card back. She apologized for the time it took, but it was not her fault. It was our fault for thinking we had time to sit and dine. I really loved the atmosphere in this restaurant. It was quite nice inside, and the waitress was kind throughout. Sadly, I was in a rush and could not take any pictures. I am hoping to visit this place again some day and add pictures. read more

Very good food and the service was excellent. Id recommmend this place to evrrybody i know

The dinner started out promising with the pepper jack crab soup being tasty and the Leo's bread lived up to expectation. The service was slow on a Friday night. The time to get our drinks took over 15min and we didn't get everything requested in time. The waitress appeared to be frazzled when order was placed. When order was finally received it was incorrect. One order was supposed to have tots and fries came instead. While the pork sandwich tasted good it was barley warm and the fries were cool and seemed to have been sitting for a while, a sandwich was sent back, it was supposed to be grilled and was slightly warm and on the backside was soggy and the tots were over cooked and warm. The steak that was ordered md rare could not be eaten due to the meat being tough and fat line not being edible. When waitress told this the sandwich was taken back and replaced and the tots were worse. The steak was not redone due to not being wanted at the time. The waitress appeared annoyed that food was sent back. I do not send food back. Not once did a manager get informed that two items were returned. I was highly disappointed and will not return. read more

The turkey burger on pretzel bun is my favorite! Their pizza is delicious. Atmosphere is meh, food is good though - typical bar fare.
