    Vegetarian Off the Griddle add bacon - cause why not? - A breakfast dish featuring three sunny-side-up eggs placed on a bed of hash browns mixed with cheese and bacon bits. The plate is oval-shaped with a decorative rim. In the background, there is a small brown mug of coffee, a tall red drink, and another beverage in a red cup. The setting appears to be a casual diner with a wooden table.

    Great food - cook laid down some textbook sunny side up eggs and the "off the griddle" menu selection was spot on. The staff was very helpful and very nice. This was our first visit. The pancakes were massive and delicious, light and fluffy weee the choice words from my 12 year old nephew. Will definitely be back again

    The big breakfast came with the pancakes also - A breakfast dish on a white oval plate includes three fried eggs with runny yolks, melted cheese over hash browns, and shredded cheese. The plate is on a wooden table, with utensils and a mug visible nearby. The setting suggests a casual dining environment at Sunshine Diner in Lansing, MI.

    Reba was our wonderful waitress. We told her what we wanted and she threw it together as a breakfast to make things easier.

    I've ordered delivery several times. I'm only about two miles from the location. Fresh, hot, and delicious. Highly recommend.

    They were obviously short staffed so food took about half hour (only one hard-working cook and two hustling servers), but the servers were great, keeping our coffees topped off and very friendly.

    Batter Up Bistro - Tiramisu and Lemon Cake. I highly recommend the lemon cake if you like any sort of lemon pastry- it was divine.

    What's Good This is the kind of place I generally root for…read more Locally owned, attention to ambience and identity, a focused menu that doesn't try to do too much, and an effort to make you feel welcomed. Batter Up Bistro reminds me of several places I've visited in New Orleans with a jazz trio playing ragtime as I enjoyed brunch and maybe a midday Hurricane cocktail. The interior is rustic chic while still being warm and inviting and I really enjoyed the beverages I ordered. The Apple Crisp Latte ($8) I ordered for my breakfast visit was hot and made me feel even more cozy. Apple simple syrup paired with house coffee blend and oat milk with notes of cinnamon was very pleasing to the palette without been blown away by apple flavor. The Baron ($15) was a pre-dinner cocktail with whiskey, ginger beer & liquor, almond bitters, and a hickory smoked finish. It was strong, but not breathtaking, a well-balanced flavor profile. What's Really Good Dinner service was suitable even if a bit slow, especially given the few diners that were also in attendance that evening. The bar tender was also waiting tables and while he was capable and hospitable, he clearly had too much on his plate running the front of house solo. I started with the Sea Scallop appetizer ($17). Three substantial scallops with a dill forward dusting sit atop a lovely, creamy parsnip puree. The puree was slightly sweet and the microgreens that were likely intended more as a garnish offered a nice textural note. The scallops were cooked uneven if I'm being honest where only one out of the three had a desirable brown crust and the other two were grayer. Dinner went up several notches with the Pan-seared Salmon ($32) which I ordered blackened. The fish was tender and flaky, and the blackened seasoning was right on target. The salmon paired quite well with the roasted Brussels sprouts, which themselves had a lovely char, and the wild rice. I also appreciated the accompanying blackberries which offered a touch of sweetness without compromising earthiness. Best Bite My first visit was a bit lonely as I was the only patron dining on a Thursday mid-morning. Perhaps the previous day's snowfall had scared others away, but I was itching to get out and about finding the breakfast selections a respite from winter's doldrums. I ordered the Eggs Benny ($20) with perfectly poached eggs atop their delightful house baked toast which was dense enough to hold up the thinly sliced ham, eggs, microgreens, and herbaceous hollandaise sauce. The sauce was rich and creamy with a pleasant punch of lemon and dill. The dish is served with garlic and herbed red skin breakfast potatoes and they were a hit. Also, a star was the side of thick cut bacon ($8) which was smokey and a perfect medium cook. Chef Cari came out to express her gratitude for my visit, which only made me wish more folks had joined me that day.

Food can take a while especially during busy times but worth the wait in my opinion. Not a lot of seating and I wish the chairs were a bit more comfortable. I would give this place 5 stars, the only thing that is holding me back is that it is pretty pricey. For 2 crepes, one Americano coffee, and a 15% tip it was $44. Price point is rather high, but as an occasional treat, well worth the visit.

Their Crêpes are the exquisite I mean they all look the same from the outside, but man those are some quality Crêpes. I had the pesto (Tuscany chicken) and that thing filled me up. I wasn't thrilled with the price, but with the price comes a huge portion that makes it worth it. Plus the side of fruit was a great touch. My wife and I enjoyed our meal and yes they are so big we couldn't finish, so who doesn't love leftovers. The service was great and patient as I figured out what I could eat with my diet and came and checked on us too, sweet, thoughtful and kind is a great way to describe the service. This is a winner and hope it stays in town for a long time. Give it a go, you'll enjoy your visit.
