    Dish with hash browns, peppers, mushrooms with an extra eggs. Pumpkin pancakes in back.
    Grace D.

    Traditional breakfast with large portions. Place is nothing fancy but there is plenty of seating. Waitresses are helpful and efficient. I personally like places that let you order 1-2-3 eggs on your plate. Coffee is hot and the pumpkin pancakes were great. I ordered a small version of a plate with extra eggs and for me it had too many hash browns and the mushrooms were canned ones so plate was okay. That being said, I would definitely go back!

    We have driven by this restaurant many times while in Lansing but have never stopped until last month- and it was a great choice. Breakfasts had large portions for my growing kids ;) They had a great variety and a few random things you don't typically see- like a smelt dinner. We all opted for breakfast but there were many other options. Food was fresh and tasty, waitstaff was friendly, and food was served in a timely manner. This was a great family meal choice and we would definitely go back!

    Food was good. Service was great. Ambience could be better. The air was a bit stale and could use some freshening up.

    1 egg special (add cheddar cheese) with hash browns and toast

    No one ever wanted to go to this restaurant when I was at State, now I see why. Got their early for a quick breakfast before heading downriver. I should have known it was going to be bad when. My food came out less than 4 minutes after ordering. The eggs were undercooked, cheese wasn't melted and zero flavor. Hash browns were burned on the outside and cold inside. Only saving grace was the toast and coffee. Waitress was polite but gave me the stank eye when I left almost everything on the plate...even with stank eye she got a nice tip...she didn't cook it

    Staff serving with no face covering and a basic plastic shield. It seems irresponsible. Food is otherwise good as always

    What an amazing atmosphere and the FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING!!! The service was great and the mimosas…read morewere tasty. Highly recommended

    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.

Came on a Wednesday and it was packed but the wait went pretty quick. Inside has beautiful artwork on the walls that can be purchased. To get us started we ordered a cup of seafood chowder, cup of chicken noodle, and yes bread pudding as an appetizer, lol. The soups were great. But that bread pudding was phenomenal and the star of the show.I highly recommend it. As our main entre we ordered the wet burrito, pastrami,build your omelette with mushrooms, tomatoes, and green onions. Everything was delicious. A special thank you to our server Kecia.

Our party of four were served the food in phases rather than everyone's plate coming at once. I'd consider the service slow since we waited a bit 10 minutes (?) to order. Had the seafood soup which was fine but the bread I asked to be served with it was cold, dry slices of a French baguette. The salad someone else from our party ordered had a nice serving of beef on it and looked tasty. The beef stroganoff another person ordered was overly seasoned to me as I was given a taste and beef wasn't very tender. Overall food is fine. Place is nice with some outside seating.
