Stopped in around lunch on a Thursday. Due to construction, we had to take a detour, but nothing was going to stop us from trying the famous fish and chips. Parking might be a hassle on a busy night, but you likely just have a further walk. The area looks like it is up and coming and may have some really cool stuff surrounding it in the future. Near frandor and msu.

Had a good time here. The waiter was helpful with suggestions and fast to get us refills or anything we needed. My plate was salmon with fries on the side. It was thick and juicy. Next time I come here, I’m definitely getting the fish and chips.

This is a great place for lunch! The food is amazing, the beverages are ice cold, the beer is great and the atmosphere is top notch. The service is above and beyond and I couldn’t be happier. I got the soft pretzel appetizer (it’s a monster for sharing) and the Buffalo chicken wrap. Let me tell you, they do not cut corners on the quality of their food or service. This is in my top five places to eat in Lansing. If you’re in the area, enjoy the food, the small televisions that you have at your table to watch some sports and just enjoy your own company or the company of others. You won’t regret eating here, I promise you.

This place can get pretty busy on weekend evenings, but we stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and fun. In addition to multiple big TVs above the bar, there are several nice, spacious booths with private TVs, so this would be a great place to come watch a game with friends. I loved the fish & chips – the fish was flaky and tender, and the tartar sauce was really tangy. Definitely recommend getting with the steak fries, which were perfect for fish & chips. Also got a bowl of their clam chowder, which was delicious and hearty. Another person got the French onion soup, which was better than most other places I’ve gotten it in Lansing. It was flavorful and savory without being too salty or heavy. We also got the wings, which were nice and crispy, and not drowning in sauce. The fried pickles were zesty and not greasy. We ordered the potato skins, which were fine, but truthfully I probably won’t order again (especially because so much of the other stuff was great). We also tried the carrot cake and pecan ball sundae for dessert (they were out of bread pudding, so we’ll definitely have to try that later!) The pecan ball sundae was a scoop of ice cream rolled in chopped pecans, with a little chocolate sauce and whipped cream. It was simple, but very tasty! And the carrot cake was delicious, but i think i have a bit of an issue with it being called carrot cake – there was very little carrot in the piece we got, and it was packed with shredded coconut. It had a layer of dense cream cheese frosting about half an inch thick on top sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. I thought it was great, but beware if you don’t like coconut!

Had the fish and chips with shrimp. Nice portions. You get 6 shrimp and two big pieces of fish. Go early if can for happy hour.

This seems like a nice place! We tried to go here on a Friday night but there was a long wait and the parking lot was full. We came for a Sunday lunch instead and got seated right away. We were put in a big, comfortable booth with its own TV. It had football playing, but maybe the wait staff would be able to change it if you asked. (We don’t watch football, but we just ignored it.)

We got take out from here, and I would describe the food as just ok. I got the fish and chips. I’ve had moister fish from culver’s. This fish was just ok. They hardly gave any chips and the chips had a slight burnt taste to them. They also gave a fairly small side of coleslaw. And the side of tartar sauce was I think just mayonnaise and not tartar sauce. I will say they at least gave a decent sized portion of fish.

Visited on 12/16 during lunch time. There was short 15 minute wait. Ordered Fish and chips eddie style with spicy batter, it was decent and worth the hype. Also ordered Mussels and shrimp which was underwhelming, mussels were dry and skimpy. Not sure if they forgot to put the sauce on it, the dish was completely dry with nothing to dip my garlic bread with. Will come back again for fish and chips.
