If you want corned beef or pastrami, greasy grocery store deli meat just doesn't cut it. Checking Yelp delis. I looked in every direction and decided to drive to East Lansing as my corned beef withdrawal pains were getting worse. Stateside Deli sits in a shopping plaza a few miles southeast from MSU. When we arrived both booths and tables were available just after the lunch rush. Just guessing, i'd say there are between 25-30 tables and booths. Even though I didn't need to, I studied the menu knowing that I would probably only get corned beef or pastrami. The soups however looked great as well. I ordered my corned beef extra lean partially as a test and mostly because that is how I like it. Served on toasted rye, that' is exactly how it came. My first bites were euphoric. It only got better. My wife ordered half a sandwich (tuna melt on wheat) along with matzah ball soup. She loved hers as well. I can tell because both the bowl and plate were empty when she was done. She will often not finish if the food is "just OK" Service was excellent and "seamless". One server saw my drink almost empty and quickly returned with another. Another server asked if we needed anything as she was walking by. Our server also kept checking with us to see if we needed anything or if we were enjoying our lunch. If this is the closest deli, so be it. We will be back as often as practical. Only drawback is the hour drive each way and approximately $28 worth of gas.

The wait was longer than quoted by about 20 minutes and they didn't include the lettuce and tomato that was specifically ordered with one of the subs. Not the end of the world, but the attitude from the call taker was pretty poor. Don't make a customer feel "less than" or demanding because they want something how it was ordered and you made a mistake. My wife called and was treated this way. An hour later and we still saw no lettuce and tomato. Another call and more attitude from the same call taker. A manager got on the phone that time and assured her it would be on the way soon. eventually it got there, but it was too late for my wife's dinner by then. We understand when a restaurant gets busy. However, when you make a mistake, learn to own up to it and do your best to fix it immediately. We shouldn't be waiting in a queue or rotation for you to correct something dumb.

I was not trained on how to use the sterilization sink. Maybe people use gloves. Your delivery driver is paid 5.05 an hour and doesn't get that delivery fee. They are supposed to get .55 cents a mile, but when you do the math, that's impossible. The managers steal tips from drivers. They say you don't have to go to dangerous places, but insist you go to places because they are too "sketchy" for Door Dash to deliver to. I was hired as a driver, but spent much of my time washing dishes, which I didn't get paid tips for. Hands down the WORST job I have ever had and made me scared to ever eat there again.

The person helping us was the only employee there, when we first walked in, she started by yelling at us about picking all of our breads in a very limited amount of time. My aunt was on the phone trying to figure out what to order and the employee told her to get off the phone and pick her bread.. after that she was continuously being rude when I had her add my dressings to my sandwich, she said "this is going to be a disgusting sandwich". I told her it's a good thing that it's not her sandwich. She continue to be rude to us and continue to rush us just giving continuous attitude. It was the worst experience today I've ever had and I would not recommend going to this location. There's plenty more locations in Lansing make the drive to avoid this one.

Fall is a hectic time in the Beverly household. Hot on the heels of what felt like the fastest…read more summer of all time, the chaos that is melding work, school, sports, and community schedules is live and direct. With four girls all at different stages of life, my much better half and I are typically frenetic throughout the week and certainly don't slow down on the weekends. We also have an additional challenge of working on MSU's campus and living on the westside- which, I'm sure I don't have to tell any of our readers, has been so much fun with construction. Some days, I crisscross the city six different times with meetings, practices, games, school fun nights, and family obligations. All of this means, that time for cooking at home can be limited and the energy to do so is even less. Even when I have my act together enough to make multiple meals ahead on a Sunday, the luxury of even thirty additional minutes at home and not warming a meal for starving adolescents seems sublime. We are often guilty of choosing the quicker option of dining out/take out, which brings on transactional costs in health and quality. So where does one find quick, healthier food options? Enter Middle Eats, the Warren, MI- based food chain that specializes in Mediterranean food which opened in Frandor in August of 2024. A cousin of chicken hot spot, Wing Snob, the endeavor aims to be fast, fresh, and healthy with its combination of bowls, wraps, and salads. They also strive to be convenient by offering a drive-thru option and online ordering to expedite their service. The full menu is customizable much like national branded fast Mexican assembly line chains, but absent the ability to watch your food as its prepared. What's Good The Spicy Chicken Shawarma Wrap ($8.99) was stout. Packed with shredded chicken that was tender and flavorful, pita chips, lettuce, grilled onions (optional, $.99), pickles, garlic spread, and spicy Dillio sauce. Dillio sauce is a yogurt-based dressing with garlic, shallots, lemon juice, and dill. The sauce was yummy but not overpowering nor overly fiery. A reasonably priced handheld that is big on yum and fills the hunger pangs. Not as healthy, but also high on the tasty factor are the Loaded Shawarma Fries ($11.99). I ordered them with steak ($2.00) and I was not happy I did. Thick cut, carnival style fries are topped with meat, feta cheese, diced onions, jalapeños, tomato (none for me thanks), and spicy Dillio sauce. This dish was large enough to share amongst the family, and we had leftovers. The added bonus was the pita bread on the bottom that soaks up all the delicious drippings. What's Really Good Middle Eats will be a go-to at our house for years to come because of their bowls. Whether you choose rice or lettuce as a foundation, you can load up the rest of the bowl with plenty of protein and veggies from a wide variety. My wife ordered the Falafel Bowl ($12.99) which a strong choice for vegetarians. Crisp, lightly fried falafel (deep fried balls of ground chickpeas and herbs) are joined by your choice of hummus and/or garlic spread, regular or spicy Dillio sauce, and then lettuce, feta, onions, rice, pickles, and tomatoes. The falafel was satisfying in both the exterior crunch and the warm and fluffy interior. The herbaceous flavors melded well with the hummus and veggies. Additional upcharges include cucumber, eggplant, or grilled peppers. On a previous lunch visit with a colleague, I ran into a high school friend who was there with her daughter who didn't have school that day. She revealed that Middle Eats has become their restaurant of choice for Mediterranean fare because of the convenience and value. My teammate and I both ordered bowls, him the Chicken Shawarma ($12.99) and I the Surf & Turf ($21.33). Both of us were satisfied and with the heaping mounds of meat and veggies and the accompanying sauces. Best Bite A special nod this month goes to the Fire Grilled Shrimp ($6.99/Skewer). Plump and juicy with just a touch of kick, but a ton of flavor, these crustaceans rival many of the top seafood and steakhouses in the area. Added to a salad or bowl and they are incredible, but also divine on their own atop a bed of rice. I look forward to finding time to enjoy Middle Eats Fire Grilled Shrimp in new ways including in wraps or on loaded fries.

I was hesitant to try this place, but considering the Middle Eastern game in the Lansing area is…read morenot as strong as the Dearborn area, I figured why not. AMBIANCE - this is a fast casual middle eastern joint. With seating for about 20 or so, it looks like your typical strip mall eatery. They have both self service kiosks as well as someone at the ready to take your order. SERVICE - my boys and I came pretty close to when they opened, so there weren't that many people. However, I swear we blinked, and all of a sudden there were 10 people behind us. The lady working the counter was helpful in explaining the menu and making recommendations. Food took about 10 minutes to get from when we ordered it. They also have a drive thru which I thought was interesting. MENU - the place specializes in bowls, salads and wraps. They also had some loaded fry options and a handful of desserts. It wasn't the deepest selection of food, but it had your classic chicken and beef shawarma, falafel and shrimp in any of those forms. FOOD - my mom recommended the chicken shawarma, so we got two chicken shawarma bowls, one steak bowl and my son got the loaded shawarma fries. the portions are pretty generous, so much so that my 16 year old son couldn't finish his bowl (he generally consumes everything in front of him). the combination of veggies in the bowl, with the sauce and the steak were really good. One thing that I thought was a little weird was the chicken shawarma was more cut up than it was shredded (it looked like grilled chicken pieces), but the taste was still there. OVERALL - not bad middle eats, not bad at all. Is the flavor on par with Dearborn? No, but it'll do in a pinch, and you certainly won't leave hungry. Celebrity Rating - David Andrews
