    Sprouts from Brussels
    Ronnie B.

    First time to visit. Great appetizer "Sprouts From Brussels". The brussel sprouts are fried, and mixed with smoked bacon and Asian sauce. Very tasty!! I give it a 5+ rating. The main dish was "Blackjack" burger. Blackened seasoning with pepper jack cheese, onions, jalapeños with chipotle aioli. Pretty tasty. I give it a 4 rating.

    We were in a while back and sat at the bar. Melissa was the bartender that day. She was AMAZING. She made some great recommendations, including the Brussel sprouts, which... under any other circumstances, we would've never eaten. She said they were the MOST ordered item there... we declined but she brought us a sample anyway. Let me tell you, we understand now. They were crispy, perfectly sauced and surprisingly delicious! The burgers we had were also great but my favorite was the house made French onion dip that came with the chips. TOP. TIER. We also sampled a couple of the "cowboy up" and "pop goes the weasel" rolls. Needless to say, we were impressed by these as well. Only great things to say about the place as well as Melissa's service and we ended lunch with a hug for the man that created the menu!

    Sweet Potato Tots - Fantastic From The Heavens Salad - Great Other lady at the bar was losing her mind over the chicken sandwich. They probably had 12-16 craft beers on tap, plenty of TVs, multiple seating options, and an outdoor patio. From the outside it's dark tinted windows in a mall area but solid food and a great option for a beer.

    Sweet potato puffs. Not a bad choice for an appetizer or with a main dish.

    A nice place to hangout and relax. They have many drink specials. Having a Two Hearted ale and a egg on your face sandwich, blt, egg, ciabatta bread. Pretty good, nice taste, I would order this again.

    I was visiting a friend from out of town and this place was recommended. I did check the reviews…read more They were good but not great but I figured to give it a shot. I ordered a personal pizza and while it was good, it was warm at best when I hit my table. My friend was meeting me there so I ordered him a ranch chicken wrap, but wanted to sub the crispy chicken for grilled chicken. They have grilled chicken on the menu so I figured it was not going to be any big deal. I also ordered him a side salad with honey mustard dressing. When the bill came they charged three dollars for the grilled chicken, which makes no sense because it's already on the menu with another sandwich, and they charged a dollar for the salad dressing, which is absolutely ridiculous since no one eats dry salads. I will say they did appease me and turned the Detroit Tigers game on, but what was odd was they didn't even know it was being televised..... and it's a sports bar. The waitress was nice and wished me safe travels and checked on us more than a few times. I would give it 2 1/2 stars if that was applicable, but it's not so I'm going with three.

    Lots of regulars come in here. Everyone seemed to know each other.

And one of the better personal pizzas I've had. It was a Greek pizza. It was really yummy. All good toppings. I want another haha. I didn't like the way any of the drinks tasted tho. Like the water was gross so all the pops were gross too. Had a good time here. Forgot to press "post review" oops!

    While hosting family visiting from New Jersey, we spent part of the afternoon enjoying an activity…read morealong the river in downtown Lansing. About halfway through, everyone started getting hungry, so I asked my sister-in-law to pick a restaurant in Old Town that looked appealing. She chose Zoobie's because she thought she had seen it featured on a Food Network show, and the menu looked diverse enough that everyone in our group would find something they liked. Being from New Jersey, my sister-in-law firmly believes there is no good pizza outside of New Jersey or New York. Well, Zoobie's proved that great pizza can be found anywhere. I ordered the pear pizza without the meat, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors worked perfectly together, and I never felt like I was missing anything by skipping the meat. My sisters each ordered different pizzas and thoroughly enjoyed them, while my nephew had a burger that disappeared quickly, which is always a good sign. My wife ordered the bruschetta and spoke so highly of it that I had to try some myself. She was right, it was delightful. Another pleasant surprise was the atmosphere. The restaurant was quite busy, with a full bar and a group celebrating some kind of event, yet the noise level remained very manageable. As someone who is sensitive to loud environments, that can make or break a dining experience, and Zoobie's got it right. For context, we visited on a weekday around 2:00 PM, so that certainly may have contributed to the comfortable atmosphere. Still, every aspect of our visit exceeded expectations. Great food, attentive service, a welcoming environment, and perhaps most impressively, pizza that won over a skeptic from New Jersey. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Old Town Lansing.
