Unique food creations, but completely worth the visit!! What's great about this place is that they switch up or add things to their menu.

This place has a very fun atmosphere, but the service is lacking and the food could be better. The kitchy decor and the fun names of dishes on the menu are great. I also liked the mismatched mugs. They seemed seriously understaffed, and service was very slow. We ordered drinks, and waited long enough for someone to come back to take our food order that we were starting to wonder if they thought we were only getting drinks. There was another long wait for our food. When it arrived, it arrived in batches. One person ordered three tacos, but the order was entered wrong, so they only got one to start, and they had to wait quite a while for the other two. The food was good overall, but the portions were quite small. I did like the Bourbon Street French toast, particularly the caramel sauce. It could have used more bananas though. The fried pickles were good, as were the spicy mozzarella sticks. The steak omelet's sauce was odd. The nachos were good. The coffee and lattes were good. The regular orange juice had less juice than one poured for our toddler. Overall it was alright, but I don't know that I'd go back. read more

My visit started at 7:30am food and service was good but as I entered the establishment, I was greeted by the dog of a customer seated at the counter. A very friendly dog, not a service animal!! My concern is that the dogs hair was covering the floor mat, and when my food was brought out (Great Breakfast) the staff member walked directly over and greeted the dog with both hands! I did finish my meal but I will certainly check before paying for parking . Good food ! Good service! bad ambiance. I am also a dotting dog owner and small business owner. read more

Overall the food and vibe were excellent. Very robust menu with many things we wanted to try. The Music City Hangover was a delicious take on a hot fried chicken breakfast. The Kevin Bacon LT was one of their many varieties of avocado toast which tasted very fresh and clean. Came in on a Sunday morning in August and the wait was 20 minutes, which is normally not an issue but the restaurant was only about 75% full. Service was a little slow but did not alter our positive experience. We will definitely be coming back to try more things on the menu. read more

I'm not sure if we were there on an off day or what, but unfortunately not impressed with the food or service. The staff were nice but service was slow. The food was very bland and unseasoned. We both ordered the Hangover. The biscuits were extremely dry and we added salt/hot sauce to everything. However, the restaurant is in a very nice downtown area with a lot of shops to check out. read more

Good Truckin' Diner - The Hangover. - Diners Near Me - Lansing, Michigan

Was in Good Truckin' last week. Not a good experience. Food was COLD. The over-easy eggs looked like they'd been sitting there for a while. I tasted them, cold. Then the sausage patty, cold. Potatoes, cold. Tortilla and sauce, cold. I was the only customer in the restaurant, I don't understand. After about 20 minutes the cook (actually I should say chef, their food is usually very delicious), brought out my food. Very dissatisfied. I walked out, won't be back. read more

- Coffee ($4): Weak drip - Biscuits and gravy: dense biscuits, bland gravy, very little meat. - Pancakes: very dense - French toast: couldn't even tell it was french toast. Literally just tasted like oiled bread. - Scrambled Eggs: overcooked - Mexican food: Not even tex-mex - Seasoned potatoes: decent - Specials: never had a great one - Baked desserts: fine, but definitely not a specialty shop - Portion size: decent - Service: no complaints with staff, food takes forever read more

Very good food in a hippy chic setting. I had the hippy hangover and it was delicious. My wife liked the multiple choices for tea and said her eggs easy over were done right. Parking on the street: pay at kiosk. read more

Delicious breakfast food in downtown Lansing. Large servings and good food, no complaints.

Love this place. Always delicious and friendly, with the best milkshakes in town. Enjoyed the tacos!

The staff were very friendly, attentive and it was a good atmosphere however the food was pretty bland and my husbands had a hair in his burrito So I would probably not go again read more

Good service, fun menu. This place has absolute millennial core vibes, the wait is worth it. We had fun shopping in Old Town Lansing + I appreciated how cute this place was. read more

Due to timing we could not dine in, although they did accommodate by letting us order food to good. The sassy pants taco was out of this world flavor wise. Hoping to visit if ever in the area again. read more

I got a different sandwich than what i ordered but it was great, whatever it was. The fries were really good as well. (The only down side) the ranch is really watery. They have a sign that says they offer a cash discount as well which would have been good to know prior to my visit so... here's your sign. Staff, have a huddle about the ranch and you'll be a 6 star dining facility read more

I am absolutely appalled by the experience here today and lately. I always thought the service was just slow because of how busy they get, but since expanding and relocating, it has only gotten worse. On October 19, I ordered my usual Gotham City Burger meal. Once served, I was told there was no coleslaw made for the burger, even though it is listed on the menu. That burger has three meats and I added egg, so having no vegetable really threw it off. I would have ordered something else if I had known. I asked to replace it with an omelet, and the server spoke with an older blonde woman who seemed irritated. They brought out warm dry coleslaw as a solution. It was not ideal, but I appreciated the effort and still enjoyed my meal. Today I came back with four friends because I wanted them to love this place too. I ordered a grilled steak burrito, and my server said no problem. Another person brought food to the table and said "steak burrito," so I took it. When I started eating, I realized there were mozzarella fries inside. It was the Paranorman special, not my order. I let the server know and asked for the correct one. When the correct burrito came, I was told the cooks refused to grill it because they were busy. This was frustrating because they grilled the wrong one earlier. I accepted it, but the replacement came out greasy, soggy, and ripped open on the back. I left the table to speak with someone and found the manager with plastic gauges. She said she would meet me at the table, but I told her I preferred to speak privately. My server met me instead, apologized, and comped the meal. The manager stood off in the distance, glaring, and never once spoke to me. Later she laughed and chatted with the same staff who made the mistakes, while they all avoided our table completely. We were the only Black customers in the restaurant and also the largest group. After paying, three friends left, and we still waited about 20 minutes for a to-go order that had been placed much earlier. We spent around $130 total and were treated like we were a burden. Our server deserves credit for being professional, informed, and kind. But the lack of respect, accountability, and basic courtesy from the manager and kitchen staff was unacceptable. The quality has severely declined since the relocation, and I left feeling disappointed, disrespected, and genuinely uncomfortable. update: EVERY REVIEW FROM THE PAST WEEK SAYS THEY HAD HAIR IN THE BURRITO, SERVICE SUCKS, AND/OR GOT AN ENTRIELY DIFFERENT ORDER. read more

Yelp's "Surprise Me" feature picked the Good Truckin' Diner for me to try and I am so happy it did! They don't have a specific parking lot, but there is parking close by--mainly all parallel spots. There is a cheerful ambiance with outdoor seating, but I decided to sit inside because it was a bit cold. Sitting up at the bar, I was amazed by how creative the artwork was. I also noticed that they have a cool collection of mugs. The staff was energetic and cheerful, and the service was quick! I started out with the fruity pebbles shake. It was good, but it tasted pretty average to me. There were also other options for cereal shakes such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Peanut Butter Crunch. I was seriously impressed with how good the tacos are. They were packed with flavor and the shells didn't taste dry. I tried the Huevos Ranchero and the Sassy Pants. While they were both good, I recommend the Sassy Pants. The spice from the Nashville chicken went great with the pineapple. read more

We were seated immediately but would have happily waited for the best breakfasts we've ever had! Service was friendly and informative. They had awesome music playing and there was a lot of fun decor to look at. Our food arrived quickly and was AMAZING! My cousin had the Cajun Omelette and she wanted to drink the sauce. The Music City Hangover (without the sausage gravy - personal preference) and was delighted...it was hot but not too hot and delicious! Our favorite, though, was the BONUTS! Fried biscuits dusted in cinnamon and sugar. Simple but TASTY! They didn't even need the dipping sauces. read more

First time at Good Truckin in their new location. The service was good and the food was delicious! The huge portion made it a great value! Bananas florentine with bourbon cream cheese drizzle with sausage and hash browns! You need to try this! You won't be disappointed! read more

Good food, fries came out unseasoned(not as depicted in description), burger(Shroominator) was decent but slightly over cooked, ordered medium rare arrived at medium. Friendly staff, lots of menu options and specials. Will return to try other options read more

What a great time, the food was incredible. My wife had a choice of three tacos (Frenchman, Baja and and Sassypants) along with 4 different sauces to with them and a side of seasoned tater tots. I had the Huevos Rancheros (Eggs over easy on two corn tortillas with refried beans and half a avocado) everything was local and extremely fresh. To drink I asked for a Pepsi, nope they only had soda from Detroit City Soda I got the Cola and it was delicious. The service was wonderful. The young lady who was your hostess and sat your table was also your server, bused tables and got them wiped and reset for the next guest, plus other duties to care for around the restaurant, she was a worker. Bravo to her and ambiance was fun, quirky. Mismatched chairs at the tables and their own touches of style. And you got a discount on your bill if you paid with cash. We will go out of our way to recommend it. Best kept secret in East Lansing. A+A+A+A+A+ read more

The food was amazing. Enough to feed the masses. Will definitely be on our list for the next time we are in town. read more

Love the new place. Great staff, excellent food. Awesome atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Old town is an adventure read more

Love the new location. Great selection of choices, had the fiesta migas. It was good but could have been hotter.

Cozy diner with good food. Friendly staff greets you as you walk in. Vegan and meatatarian options. First time I've had a coke in a bottle in a while. Food came out quickly. Had the music city hangover. Fiery chicken smothered in gravy, egg, pickle over a biscuit. Amazing! The potato's that came as side were perfectly seasoned . My companion noted, "I want to come here 2-3 times a week and try everything on the menu." Unfortunately we don't live in Lansing. If you do- don't walk- run- and eat!! And of course, we will be back! read more

came here on a thursday morning, place was nice and the food was good. the staff was nice, would come again.

Birthday breakfast for me on this past Friday. I picked the restaurant because I've gone in the past and food was delicious at the old location. My Hubby's food was cold. The whole meal. bacon burnt,eggs cold,potatoes cold biscuit cold. The pancakes where even cold. Plus why do you serve ice cold pancake syrup. I had street tacos they where just ok. read more

Loved it and would recommend any and every and all locals, and travelers to make this a regular visit. Portions are Enormous

Had a really unfortunate experience at my first time going to their new location. It's a shame because I love them usually and the new place seems promising, but our waitress ruined my morning. Food was good as usually, only problem was the server. Here's my vent about it: My latte was so bad (soapy and room-temp...?) that I asked for a coffee instead. Waitress gave me attitude about it and then literally ARGUED with me about removing it from the check, even though I did not drink more than a sip. Said that she wasn't going to remove it because I "ordered it knowing I was going to be picky" (I mentioned being a barista when she asked what was wrong with it). First off, I'm not actually picky, I could just tell that something was seriously off with that drink. Second, it doesn't matter even if I was picky, because I didn't drink it! Such a crazy thing to fight a customer about. I guess the waitress was just having a really bad morning and was looking for a fight. Hope my $10 tip made her feel better. read more

What a great place! Even though it's small with not a whole lot of seating (some booths and seats at the counter), the turnover is pretty fast so therefore not long waits despite how busy it is! It was hard to choose what to order as the pictures made everything look good! I love how there's plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. I got the biscuits and mushroom gravy. It was good but the gravy was a bit salty. Also tried the Parmesan waffle fries and they were also good but felt more like a lunch side rather than a breakfast side because of the Italian-like dressing. Our group ordered burritos and they absolutely loved their meals. We also shared the fruity pebble shake and that was delicious! The service was fast, the staff friendly but one side note is there's only one unisex bathroom that was a bit dirty. read more

The food was delicious. We will definitely come back again. Had to wait a little bit but it was worth the wait.

I don't normally complain, but my god the food was absolutely awful, I wouldn't even feed it to my dogs. The food was cold to start with, I got sausage and it was harder than a rock the pancakes were crispy, our waitress had a skirt on that you could see her butt cheeks. They were out of a lot of food, and it cost $70. I will ABSOLUTELY NEVER return! read more

a win for the vegans! love a restaurant that has vegan items clearly labeled and double points to good truckin diner for having a vegan section. my aunt and i split the planters burrito with chorizo and the blueberry waffle which also comes with potatoes and a protein side (we chose more chorizo). i went with the burrito because of the plantains and my only wish was there were more! i only had one plantain in my half of the burrito but when i got to it... wow... the best part. the blueberry waffle was chewy and delicious! the potatoes were also pretty good but not the star by any means. my mom got Emily's Stoopid Sandwich and the red pepper aoli and smoked gouda sounded so good on that sandwich. overall good food and fast service. read more

Quaint very small diner. There's only about 5 tables and 6 barstools so make sure you get there early unless you want to wait outside. Food was good for the price and portions are generous. The coffee was really good and strong and coffee mugs were very cute read more

We've been here twice. There's always a wait list and the food is always worth it. We've ordered burgers (amazing) and breakfast food (their breakfast burritos are to die for) One thing that's worth noting: this is a great spot for brunch dates or lunches BUT I personally wouldn't go here with a group of over 4 people. They don't have a lot of space inside, so you'd have to wait a long time & possibly endure the stares of other hungry customers. Not worth it for my already socially awkward self. But for parties of 2, they get you seated without too much waiting and the food comes out pretty quickly after you order (perks of keeping the place small, I guess? ) But even if it wasn't fast, it'd still be worth the wait-- the food is that good. Oh! Also - definitely worth checking the specials board above the counter when you go in. They have some of the coolest options up there! read more

Rarely do attribute something as worth the wait, but Good Truckin' Diner is worth the wait. Luckily you can put your name in and go get coffee somewhere else on the weekends, but I would recommend getting there early. Also rarely am I paralyzed by menu decisions, everything looked absolutely incredible and was priced so well. I absolutely had to try the sausage gravy and glad I went with the Big Country omelette that had fried chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese and smothered in sausage gravy. My goodness it was SO good. My dining partner got the Diesel, which was just about everything on the menu and everything looked so good. The pancakes, which I tried, were quite good and I would get them next time. The staff was super nice, the coffee kept coming, and the food got to us so quickly. Absolute recommendation for anyone in the are or visiting the state capital. read more
