Dined there for dinner on 6/9. Ordered an olive burger (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE olives!). Flavor was good. The problem was WAY too much sauce (mayo, anything else?) mixed with the olives. Couldn't finish the sandwich because by the time I got to 1/3 left it was a sopping ball of goo. I probably should have scooped at least half of it off before I attempted to eat it. I Left it in the basket with a few onion rings (which were very good!) Too wet to finish. I recommend WAY less mayo to the establishment. I swear they applied at least 1/4 cup of mayo in the sauce for my (single) burger. Flavor was very good, but the sauce volume prevented me from finishing it. Regarding service: It was awesome. Bartender was knowledgeable and attentive. She knew what she was doing. I recommend sticking to beer if you are drinking. I ordered gin and tonics and got their own gin ("Hard Nose Gin"). It did not appear to resemble a traditional gin, but the description describes it as "juniper-forward". It was alright, but not my choice. I stopped by the night before and had a couple of pints of the Blood Orange Blonde, which was EXTREMELY good. I have never tried any of their other beers, but, given my experience, there appears to be a lot of promise there. Overall, a very good experience. I recommend. I still think they need to cut down the sauce on their olive burger - by a lot. But the flavor was very good. And the burger was cooked to my liking. I will definitely visit again. I get to the Lansing area a few times a year, and I'll be back. read more

Why does restaurants think it is ok to take up memory space on your phone by just having QR codes and no paper menu for those who respect their phones better. I just looked on their website. It is even smaller than the last time I was there. Since I am a light eater and traveling, I was stuck with 2 small salads or sides to choose from. I got a small Cesar and side of beer battered onion rings. Both were average at best. Waitress was AWOL most of the time. Music was loud so table conversations was a little hard. I suggested another place closer to the hotel with much better reviews for next year dinner before our meeting so I don't have to come back here. Many in our group agreed. read more

Service was clueless. She checked on us once. Bill was wrong. Ran out of water and beer. Food was cold. The nachos had little to no cheese on them. Fries were burnt and cold. Skip this place! Local does not always mean better :( No love or care to the place. read more

This used to be one of our favorite summer places to eat. It had a fun atmosphere, good food and service and near the ball park. This time, food was great, appetizers were good, but the kitchen was slow and closed on a Friday at 8 pm. Staff is beside themselves as they voiced a lack to support from Detroit management. Floors were sticky and the outdoor area is in poor shape. If it continues, this once excellent restaurant will be out of business. read more

We made a day trip to Lansing and needed a quick bite to eat for lunch. We love trying new breweries and this one did not disappoint. We had great service. Great food! And great beer! I will definitely be coming back to this place, next time we are in town. I would highly recommend the Fried Briney Spears (fried pickles). The batter was delicious and crispy. We tried the Michigan Hot Chicken sandwich and the Italian Sub. Both were great sandwiches. The fries were good! Hot and crispy. Also, they have a good kids menu too. My kid ate all of his mac and cheese. Tried a couple of the IPA's on tap. Both were very good. There is tons of seating. And even outdoor seating for warmer months. read more

Had a great burger and fries here on a trip back from the other side of the state . Clean, open, industrial vibe. Friendly hostess and wait staff. Great beer. (The peanut butter comes highly recommended from my associate and we almost took some home - this close (pinching fingers together).) appears to be close to stadium! Great walkable area, plentiful parking lot. read more

A friend and I stopped in for a drink and snack before a conference and we definitely were not disappointed. My friend ordered the poutine (which was very good, but I did not get a picture) and I tried the pretzel with beer cheese. I consider myself a pro taste tester when it comes to beer cheese and theirs did not disappoint. We sat at the bar, and our bartender made us fantastic drinks that we very much enjoyed. If ever in the area, would definitely stop in again. read more

I have visited LBC many times over the years and have had a good experience every time. Even more than that, I think the best cocktail I ever had was here. Do I know the name? no. Can I tell you much about it other than it had the turmeric simple syrup in it? No. Can I tell you if I had more than one? Yes, and I did. And it was awesome. Food wise I have never really had anything other than apps, and they have also bee good and tasty. I have never actually had a full meal here I don't think, and that is usually the way I roll at a brewery. They have a huge room in the back that you can rent out and has its own set of taps. Their Oktoberfest is delicious and I recommend it highly. read more

Hot Popper (3/5): This grilled cheese was decent, but it was stuffed a little too full with peppers and onions. The cheese was also very gooey which resulted in an overall texture that was a lot softer than I prefer. The bacon got a little lost in the mix, so I would've loved a little more meat. The jalapenos added a nice little kick. The parmesan kettle chips that came with it were ok. I liked that there was seasoning on them, but the seasoning was too salty.  RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

There was a kids birthday party they say us next to that had about 30 people and that was really annoying. They rented out the back room and they were so obnoxious I wish they would have shut the door so the rest of the patrons could have enjoyed our meal. That was the only bad experience. The food was great! I tried my husband's bbq wings and they were fantastic. I had the pork sandwich and it was really good except the bin gets really moist due to the pineapple. Next time I'll ask for my bun on the side. Service was alright except we had to search for our waitress a few times (I don't think she wanted to come by the party). I do not like their regular fries and our waitress did allow me to switch to sweet potato fries and they were great with honey mustard sauce! read more

We've been here several times. They have really good food that is different from most breweries. Their beers are so good. We did not like the Hard Nose Cabaret wine we took home. And the Hard Nose Vodka was rough, even with cranberry juice. The service is hit or miss. Sometimes, you get a bartender/server who is on it. Other times, you get a bartender/server who has forgotten why they are there. They have a nice bar and lots of inside seating. Their outside patio is nice with umbrellas over tables and outdoor games to play. All in all it's worth a visit just for the food and drink, which is normally the main reason we all go to these places. Cheers! read more

I'm bummed out. I had higher hopes for this place, but it just landed with a dull thud. The service was fine, but we kicked it off with the garlic parm bread bites. What is this? It's barely better than cardboard. The rest of our entrees were marginally better, but not by much. I'd heard rave reviews about the sweet potato tots, but again, this was something that just didn't work for me. They had a decent selection of beers, but if it's not paired with good food, let's be honest, it's not that hard to find a good craft beer spot anymore. The best thing they have going for it is that it's a cool space, but other than that, this place felt like below average for what it advertises itself to be. We won't be coming back here anytime soon. There are too many interesting places in Lansing for this place to be so meh. read more

I was tempted to give three instead of two stars due to prior experience, but in the end could not. Still love the ambience of LBC, but food and service were lacking this day. Despite not being overly busy, there was very little server attention. Staff saw me grabbing straws from the server station, which didn't lead to more attentive service. After appetizers arrived, I still got back up to help myself first to appetizer plates, finally to silverware. One of the guests in our party finally received her glass of wine, after the server returned to get orders for a second round of drinks 10 minutes later. For dinner, I had the Poutine fries. Like always, the dish was right on, high marks! Another guest received the wrong side (server, not food issue), the salad was good but the extra shrimp ordered was so salty, they were barely edible. As a matter of personal taste preferences, I have to note that nobody liked the tomato basil soup, which should more properly be advertised as tomato based Herb Soup. The usually well executed Spartan Dip (spinach artichoke) was a tasty, but overdone thick paste. Sorry, I know this place can do better. This wasn't it. read more

Lansing Brewing Co has fallen off big time. The food is a shell of what it used to be. The variety is down to just burgers, a few apps and salads. Much of the old menu is gone, the variety is gone. Service was friendly but very slow, 30 minutes for 2 burgers? Even the beer took forever in a half full restaurant. I feel like it's been sliding for years but this was the last straw for me. The prices were high and it was especially average, going to Culver's would be a better burger imo. Needs a menu redu and better value options to make it worthwhile. Disappointing from where it started out promising years ago. The building itself is still pretty nice. read more

Service is subpar and food is just okay. Good luck trying to catch them when they're actually open. Their hours keep changing constantly. They close at 6pm all of a sudden now. Better off finding somewhere to go for dinner. read more

Lansing Brewing: A Comedy of Culinary Errors Oh, Lansing Brewing, you tried... or did you? This place feels like it's auditioning for a sitcom called "How to Disappoint Diners"--and it's nailing the role. The Brisket Debacle: Picture this: a slab of brisket so tough it could double as a CrossFit resistance band. I'm chewing, I'm sweating, I'm questioning my life choices. Did they cook this in a microwave? No, worse--they cooked it, re-cooked it, then gave it a PhD in dryness. My jaw deserves a Purple Heart. The Soggy Bun Mystery: How does a bun get this wet? Did it take a dip in the Grand River before landing on my plate? Why is it soggier than my hopes after this meal? I'm no detective, but this bun's a crime scene. Cold Sweet Potato Fries: These fries were so cold they could star in Frozen 3. I didn't know fries could achieve arctic temperatures while still being served. Were they chilling in the fridge, plotting their revenge on my taste buds? The Barmaid's Vibe: Our server was channeling "I don't get paid enough for this" energy so hard it was practically a performance art piece. She sprinkled in just enough apathy to make the experience feel like I was intruding on her bad day. Ambience? More like a masterclass in awkward. Parking Lot Chaos: And don't get me started on the parking lot. It's like everyone decided to park with the precision of a toddler playing bumper cars. Cars half out of spaces, diagonaling like they're making room for the Holy Spirit. Is this a brewery or a parking lot interpretive dance? Lansing Brewing, you're down bad, and I'm down worse for thinking this was a good idea. If you're gonna serve food this tragic, at least throw in a comedy show to distract us. One star for the unintentional laughs. read more

I'm glad we got to experience the outdoor area at Lansing Brewing Company recently - the patio has cornhole, a fire pit, plenty of seating, and good vibes. There were lots of families with kids so it seems pretty kid-friendly. There's room to run around and everyone seemed to be having a good time. There was a Lugnuts game the night that Nate and I stopped in, so it was a bit busy, but we were able to snag a table on the patio after a group moved inside. They had almost 20 beers on tap when we were there, including a bunch of different stouts and a few lighter options, which was a bit refreshing since it seems so many breweries these days are doing tons of IPAs. We ordered the jive turkey reuben and upgraded to fries. The sandwich was just ok for me. The turkey had a slightly unpleasant mushy texture that was weird, and the slaw on the sandwich had a strong onion taste which I wasn't expecting. The sandwich overall tasted and felt like a tuna salad sandwich to me due to the onion flavor and texture, which was just weird when you're expecting a classic turkey reuben. I definitely wouldn't order this sandwich again, it just wasn't to my taste. The fries were good! And our server was great - on top of refills and very polite. I'd try some other menu items - the nachos looked tasty, as did the fried pickle spears. A fun spot to stop in warmer weather to enjoy the patio. read more

Seriously? The service was awful. Our large group walked in this evening at prime dinner hour and it was NOT busy for a Saturday. There was a reservation and yet it took 20 minutes for 2 employees to start taking drink orders. This only happened because someone from our party approached the 5 employees standing around doing NOTHING to request that someone at least start taking drink orders. The girl had the audacity to tell this parent in a snotty tone, "someone will be with you in a few minutes"... when we were already waiting 20 minutes! We will not be returning as the staff needs to clean up their act. Luckily too, we caught the 3rd beer added to our bill when there was only 2 orderedthe food quality was okay considering the poor service. There are tons of beer options like the current Oktoberfest that's tasty. There are plenty of trendy burger options to choose from and other creative options for the teenage palate. Overall, this should not have been a 2 hour dinner. read more

Haven't been here in a long minute so maybe our stop in was an off day. The service at the table wasn't great, lots of time left needing beverage refills, never checked to see how the food was nor made the server handoff after their shift was over but we were at the table. We were a little disappointed w/ the lack of creaminess of the creamy tomato soup. The cauliflower wings definitely had enough batter to cover a whole head f cauliflower...very excessive. The chili was just that...chilly. All in all, it was a rough day for both the service and food for us. read more

Planned to meet some friends for lunch at Lansing Brewery, last week. I was last there in 2016, and didn't rate it very high. This time, it was much better than before. Their beer selection has expanded, with more variety and creative styles of beer and other beverages. I settled on the peach cider, which was refreshing. We both settled on the tomato soup and a cheese sandwich. The soup was cold, and a bit boring. My spouse ordered a chicken salad but found the meat to be cold and dry. The inside is inviting and warm, with Drew serving as the friendly host and Grace as a friendly and competent server. read more

Where do I begin? Let me first say I have been a fan of Lansing Brewery since my first visit 5 years ago. SO we were absolutely delighted. It was beautiful, hip, clean with great service and a better attitude from the staff who seemed proud to be working there. At the time, they had a lot of great beer they made themselves. My favorite was "The Angry Mayor" and second to "The Gov" which had a drawn picture of Governor Whitmer gracing the can. The food was delightful and healthy, heaping portions accompanied a decent price point. They also have outstanding pizza from (we suspect) a fire oven. My wife and I would share a Marguerite pizza along with an appetizer of fried pickles. We might get another set of drafts and be on our way with some swag from the front counter. We made several trips back, at least once a month. Then Covid hit and ruined a lot of things. Kept everything locked down for months after it lifted, venues were still struggling to keep it together. We expected and rolled with the punches. The food stayed pretty on par and slowly started to decline as prices started to go up and favorites disappeared from the menu. We attended a few times and found the oven not working - so we ordered other things and went on our way. Tonight, on a palmy evening in April we thought it would be great to stop in and enjoy the sunshine, atmosphere and some good food. We arrived to a half filled venue at about 5:30. Walked in the doors and were seated. We got our menus and water as we waited our server. We noticed the menu had changed again and our favorite sandwiches were gone. But that's ok. We can have the pizza. Our server dashed that quickly with a "sorry, our oven is not working". Ok. Back to the menu. We ordered some beer we knew from LB's line. We also ordered some different meals because our favorites were unavailable or deleted. We still had the sun and the promise of good food. The beer came and mine was absolutely flat. It tasted nothing like it had before, nor the 6 packs I would buy around town. Thats a disappointment. And our server was nowhere to be found. In fact, they never came back to the table. We waited and looked around and the fried pickles came. They were ok, but kinda burnt and greasy. Not the batter blown delectables from before. Our server must have left as we had another gal bring us our food in a to-go bag. We were confused and so were they. They thought it over and said, they put this on the wrong ticket and they disappeared and came back 5 mins later with platters and said she figured it out. Cool! OK. So we started on our sandwiches (that were 16.00+ with chips.) This was new to me. Chips. The sandwich itself was fair but very dry. It was a BBQ burger with Louisiana sauce, cheddar cheese and deep fried onions. It was also the DRYEST entree I have had in a very long time. My wife's was not much better. Her bun was soggy and the shredded chicken was just a smidge wetter than my entree. We waited for more drinks, or an offer of more water or something to finish. Nope. No one ever came back to the table. I had to walk to the cashier and ask him for a bill. He went and got it from our server and we sat there for a bit, noticed no one was coming and then I walked back and asked to pay. He then had to GET my server. They seemed irritated to have to come. They took the bill and card and handed it back to me. Didn't wait for me to sign or add tip. I did my diligence and paid/tipped. This was not good and alarming enough to write about, because in this day and age, $70 bills still are expensive for 2 people. I love this place and wish it would take a look at customer treatment when food and costs of the restaurant are more a factor than a pleasant meal and experience. I hope they fix it. I really do. read more

Hey, normal bacon is back! The menu is a bit "leaner" and "meaner", but all for the good. The mug club pours are consistently generous. Thanks for hearing the feedback! read more

Such a cool vibe! We came during winter, but their outdoor space looks awesome! To get a good understanding of the beers they offer, we got 2 flights. The server said they range from $2-$3 per pour which is normal for flights. Overall the beer was good, our favorite was Amber Cream Ale. For food, we ordered the cauliflower wings with their Parmesan garlic sauce. They left the cauliflower large and it was delicious, one of my favorite cauliflower wings! My husband ordered the hot grilled cheese with jalapeños, chorizo bacon, and three different cheeses. He loved it! If were ever in the Lansing area we'll definitely be back! read more

I've visited LBC numerous times over the past few years and it keeps getting better. Some items on the food menu rotate, which is great, allowing you to try new things.

This place was really neat. It was in the heart of downtown Lansing and not only is it a brewery but it is also a distillery. We sat up at the bar and each ordered a beer, mine an IPA and my husband a porter. We both really like our beer, my husband even bought a 6 pack to bring home with him. We ordered an appetizer of some fried pickles which were good, not the best but not the worst. Everything smelled amazing and I would have been willing to eat lunch or dinner there. We noticed a big group of ladies seated in a back room and realized it was a baby shower. The place definitely had the space for having parties like that. After my beer I switched it up to an actual cocktail, gin of course. It was very tasty and super delicious which made me order a second gin cocktail different this time around. Overall I would definitely be going back to this place again and would love to eat an actual meal. When leaving they had a little station where you could buy 6 packs and bottles of their distilled alcohols and also shirts and stickers. read more
