    Holy white table cloth Batman, this place is top notch WOW total trip, kinda felt like your drunk ants reception, total weird experience. Not sure what to say, do the have food yes, and the prime rib looked pretty impressive, beer ck wine ck. oh when I stopped they had some live lounge music, wow bonus. The place was jamming and everyone over 50 we're having such fun. You gotta ck this place out, quite the experience.

    Friday night. With live entertainment.

    This is one of Clarkstons best kept secrets. We can always walk in. Just a block away from downtown. We drive by people waiting in line outside for meteocker food. I don't get it. But don't tell no one. I love there food and the pours are the largest of anywhere I've ever been. Plus it's locally owned and operated. The owner is almost always there.

    Outstanding. Great service. Great food. Try the walleye. A little dated with the decor but you cannot beat the food or the value

    The Caesar salad is a MUST order. Best one I've ever had in my life! The steak, chicken and…read moreseafood is all fresh and cooked perfectly. I ordered the ribeye this time but have tried the filet, an chatobriegn a few times and both of those are delicious. My woman loved the scallops. The lobster cargo is amazing as well. They have a nice musician playing good music while there and the feel is an old-timey vibe which is really nice. Made me feel like the Godfather.

    Total 70's vintage. Dark, bricky, loud, cramped dining experience. This place has been here…read moreforever. PROS: Great 70's vibe. 70's menu. Excellent 70's style service too. Nice bread basket. Handmade table-side Caesar salad $17 for four servings. Good French onion soup, chops and lobster tail. The sour cream for the baked potato contained fresh cut chive. Delicious. CONS: Weird parking, seating cramped like sardines. Saturday evening dining room was LOUD! Could barely converse. Food is expensive: Tomahawk steak $90+. Ribeye $55+. New York Strip $50+. Most everything was ala carte. Disappointed that the Sander's hot fudge cream puff did not contain hot fudge anywhere near the taste and quality of the old Sanders recipe. Cream puff was stale too. A strong seafood smell permeated the entire restaurant. SUMMARY: Mr. Paul's Chophouse is a REAL restaurant for those special occasions. Total East side. Food is very good but not "great". Eat here for the old school vibe. Kudo's to the owners that keep it going.

    I have great things to say about Bowdie's Chophouse - Lansing. I was taken aback by how top tier…read morethe service was on a very unassuming Wednesday evening. I want to give a special shout out to my server Sarah and the bar tender (I forgot her name) who were so welcoming and friendly during my visit. The ambiance was low-key, but super friendly vibes. The chef even came out to welcome me to the restaurant and say thank you for coming. I was pleasantly stunned :) I had the Kansas City steak and half order of mushrooms - excellent! I would certainly recommend a visit next time you're in Lansing. I recommend making a reservation. I was a party of one and barely made it to the bar.

    I was in Lansing, MI for one night only and the hotel host recommended this restaurant. OMG she did…read morenot disappoint me with this recommendation. The staff was extremely kind and helped me with making suggestions. The duck ravioli was delicious (the sauce was like warm) I would have preferred it hotter but undeniably good. I'm really sad because I think I make the best steak at home of course but this steak was the bomb. It was cooked perfectly. I asked for medium and they delivered. The pork belly in the Brussel sprouts was so tender and flavorful. The restaurant is a little small so I recommend making reservations. My drink was okay (but I'm heavy handed) so alcohol might have been in it. Lol I will definitely be back.
