    Turkey Grinder
    S. M.

    This was my first time ordering from Westgate. I've heard great things for years, so decided to give it a try. I've been on the hunt for an amazing turkey grinder in the Lansing area for years, so I was excited to see it on their menu. That said, it's just okay. They season the bun, which is nice, but otherwise just doesn't taste like anything but salt and grease. Had to try the pizza because that's supposedly the showstopper. I really wanted to love it, but again, it's okay at best. The crust was pretty burnt all the way around and it just didn't blow me away. To sum it up, I won't return.

    Best way to describe this place - hole in the wall with awesome food. I am not sure that I can give a "Yay! I'm a fan" four-star review but a solid 3 maybe even 3.5 will do. The area is a little shady? Not much around and in the middle of nowhere. I don't live in the area, so I wasn't sure what to expect but saw how good the Yelp reviews were, so I figured it couldn't be that bad. The building is a concrete structure with nothing to it. We walked in and felt all eyes on us - we aren't from the area and the locals could tell. Drabby décor and could use some paint. TVs throughout along with a pool table. There was a wood burning stove in the corner of the restaurant that was an unexpected touch. Our waitress was friendly, maybe a little too friendly? Our group was offered shots by a patron and I declined, so our waitress took my shot. I guess it didn't go to waste? Bartender took my friend's shot that she did not want. Wild group I guess? The biggest con was the wait for food. It took at least 40 plus minutes for some pizza and fries. Could not believe how long it took with simple bar food. But I will say this place made up for it with how good the food tasted. Everything was good. My BLT sandwich was crunchy and delicious. Fries came out piping hot and tasty. They reminded me of state fair fries. Ranch was good along with pizza/breadsticks. A local hang out for sure - but food is great.

    Western burger and tots.

    Yes, this joint feels like a true tavern. Maybe sticky. Perhaps a little dark. A part of Lansing's auto history? Yes. We came for burgers. We received a bit of sassy/fun from the server. (She was fun). Maybe a bit of interruptions from the "locals" table next to us. Felt like old school Lansing. The food was alright. But I wouldn't come here for the meal. I'd come back for the experience. The feel. The auto town culture. Lose the coat and tie. Tshirt ad jeans for sure.

    This place is a whole in the wall. Walk in a yes it was loud but the food was good. I got the western burger and I eat it all so yummy. The people I went with got fish fry and I got to try some it was yummy. Can't wait to go back a try the pizza.

    I have enjoyed Dagwood's for nearly 60 years. As an MSU student, I thought it was a very "classy"…read morejoint back then: Michelob on tap and beer mugs that had a unique handle; a curve connected at the bottom with a gap of about half an inch at the top. Big time, baby!! In those 58 years, the exterior has not changed except for a patio on the back side. The men's room is really small; much like Texaz Grill in Phoenix!! No door on the toilet stall to this day. Seating area has same setup; booths and tables appear to have been replaced over those years. Dagwood's offers 10 or more draft beers today. The classic MIchelob is absent. I had ham and bean soup, cheeseburger and fries. The soup is homemade and just what I wanted. Burgers are all smash-style; cooked to order and still juicy. To me, the fries are the hit; hand-cut fresh potatoes fried to order and great! Saturday afternoon was a little spotty but they got the job done. Dagwood's is a classic college dive bar with good food cooked behind the bar for all customers to see.

    DATE & TIME OF VISIT: April 2026. They were not too busy (there was no wait line)…read more CLEANLINESS: Unfortunately the last few times we have come the cleanliness has been lacking. Floors everywhere were extremely dirty, bathrooms dirty, and when I peaked inside the kitchen (while walking by) so filthy (to be honest, we considered leaving before even ordering anything!). HOSTESS & SERVER: The hostesses were fine, not rude but not friendly either. Our server (male with dark hair) was very nice, he at times gave off a vibe of being new. The service is still very SLOW, so plan to be sitting awhile waiting to order, get food, etc. FOOD: This is what we ordered.... Cheddars Trio Sampler -- 3 Choices were: Chicken Tenders, Wisconsin Cheese Bites, and Queso Fries. Taste: Chicken tenders were good, cheese bites were very good (greasy though), queso fries were alright. Size: average. Price: $12.49 Cheddars Trio Sampler -- 3 Choices were: Chicken Tenders, Chips & Queso w/meat, and Queso Fries. Taste: Chicken tenders were good, chips were good, queso with meat was fine, queso fries were alright. Size: average. Price: $12.49 Monte Cristo -- Taste: it was alright but found it was too sweet and got sickening to eat after the first piece. Size: average. Price: $11.99 Baby Back Ribs -- Taste: very dry. Overall flavor was alright but we had a hard time getting past how dry and tough they were. Greens beans were not very good. Mashed potatoes were good. Size: average. Price: $16.49 OVERALL THOUGHTS: Server was very kind but service in general is slow. Cleanliness has definitely been lacking and I honestly would hate to see what happens in the kitchen!! WOULD I RETURN? Probably not, mostly due to the state of cleanliness the whole establishment was in.

    I realize that it has been decades since visiting Cheddars. I will not wait that long for the next…read moretime. The place is conveniently located on Saginaw HWY along with a lot of other eateries. There is lots of parking. The restaurant has some mileage to it as it is a bit dated, but I liked it. We enjoyed the big booths and large table. Lucky it was large because we ordered more than a few things. To start, we ordered the onion rings and the fried cheese for our appetizers. They were both quite good, but my favorite was the onion rings fried to perfection. Light and crunchy and just a great bite. We also ordered what Cheddars calls the painkiller. It is a large tasty drink that is sort of a combination of a piña colada Meets a Mai Thai. The meals included the Key West chicken and it comes with rice and two sides. It has a kick to it and it's really flavorful and tender. We also ordered the sirloin and the hand breaded chicken tenders. Both were quite delicious and I love the crunch on the chicken tenders. The sides were also really nice and they included the sweet carrots and the broccoli cheese casserole along with crispy fries. This was quite a meal and it filled us up in a very happy way. We ate up and we left very happy and full with the idea of returning here soon. I don't live around here but when I visit this area, I will definitely stop here again.
