    Turkey Grinder
    S. M.

    This was my first time ordering from Westgate. I've heard great things for years, so decided to give it a try. I've been on the hunt for an amazing turkey grinder in the Lansing area for years, so I was excited to see it on their menu. That said, it's just okay. They season the bun, which is nice, but otherwise just doesn't taste like anything but salt and grease. Had to try the pizza because that's supposedly the showstopper. I really wanted to love it, but again, it's okay at best. The crust was pretty burnt all the way around and it just didn't blow me away. To sum it up, I won't return.

    Best way to describe this place - hole in the wall with awesome food. I am not sure that I can give a "Yay! I'm a fan" four-star review but a solid 3 maybe even 3.5 will do. The area is a little shady? Not much around and in the middle of nowhere. I don't live in the area, so I wasn't sure what to expect but saw how good the Yelp reviews were, so I figured it couldn't be that bad. The building is a concrete structure with nothing to it. We walked in and felt all eyes on us - we aren't from the area and the locals could tell. Drabby décor and could use some paint. TVs throughout along with a pool table. There was a wood burning stove in the corner of the restaurant that was an unexpected touch. Our waitress was friendly, maybe a little too friendly? Our group was offered shots by a patron and I declined, so our waitress took my shot. I guess it didn't go to waste? Bartender took my friend's shot that she did not want. Wild group I guess? The biggest con was the wait for food. It took at least 40 plus minutes for some pizza and fries. Could not believe how long it took with simple bar food. But I will say this place made up for it with how good the food tasted. Everything was good. My BLT sandwich was crunchy and delicious. Fries came out piping hot and tasty. They reminded me of state fair fries. Ranch was good along with pizza/breadsticks. A local hang out for sure - but food is great.

    Western burger and tots.

    Yes, this joint feels like a true tavern. Maybe sticky. Perhaps a little dark. A part of Lansing's auto history? Yes. We came for burgers. We received a bit of sassy/fun from the server. (She was fun). Maybe a bit of interruptions from the "locals" table next to us. Felt like old school Lansing. The food was alright. But I wouldn't come here for the meal. I'd come back for the experience. The feel. The auto town culture. Lose the coat and tie. Tshirt ad jeans for sure.

    This place is a whole in the wall. Walk in a yes it was loud but the food was good. I got the western burger and I eat it all so yummy. The people I went with got fish fry and I got to try some it was yummy. Can't wait to go back a try the pizza.

We walked in and were greeted with a long communal table all set up with a tablecloth - they do a Thanksgiving potluck each year and there were a ton of people there already. We luckily got a booth with some good views of the few TVs they have and the crowd was friendly and all decked out in Lions gear. The bartender was super friendly and let us know that the food would be ready in about an hour. It's free to eat as much as you want, and they had TONS of food, including at least 3 turkeys, lots of sides, desserts, and it looked like they were setting up for a mac and cheese competition. I kept saying how nice it was to have this spot for the community and it really felt very welcoming. I love the ornate bar, with the stained glass and big wooden griffins (we think they're griffins anyway). It's such a cool place and if I lived nearby I think I'd want to be a regular here. It's always nice to feel welcomed in a townie bar like this and I think we have a new Thanksgiving tradition!

It's been around forever and there's a reason. Drinks are strong, bartenders are attendant, and the people are all super friendly.

The countless times I have entered and felt the entire mood of the place and then suffered through it. I am not an old codger, dear reader. I am fairly optimistic, yet the most expensive issues for dining out are costly. For my time, my wallet and value. With that, I am pleased to offer "Cooperhawk Winery and Restaurant." It is beautiful. Inside and out. It is for the connoisseur and the starter. It is priced right and there is something for everyone. Ordinarily, I would dismiss this type of venue. But it was the occasion of our anniversary and my wife is a wine girl. So I did it. And when we walked in,,, it was stunning. The first thing you will see is the grand wine wall with a long bar in front of it. This is where you can choose wine tastings and flights. Get a little something before dinner. They asked me if I was a card holding member. I laughed and said oh no. By the end of the day, I was. And am glad for it. The staff treats you like you are welcomed guests. Kind. Intuitive... and helpful. They are educated and know their stuff. The wine tasting was outstanding with the Sommelier addressing every facet of the drinks we were trying. And it was delicious. We were called for dinner and sat in the main dining room. Beautiful. Warm. Clean. Immediately, our server showed and wished us a happy anniversary and brought us complimentary champagne. (When you reserve your seats, it asks about special occasions). A bonus. We had a warm soft pretzel loaf with butter as we waited. My wife ordered a filet mignon platter which she defined as excellent. I had a chicken dish with outstanding potatoes and fresh green beans. More wine please. We imbibed. While we were full from the main course they still brought out some truffles to seal the deal. We decided to join the club and got a membership. 2 bottles of exclusive wine a month for $50. A fair value as with it comes wine tastings, complimentary glasses of wine when visiting and several offers a month. We have been back several times, and each is better than the last. I encourage you to come a half hour early to enjoy the spirits and relax before your meal. 10 out of 10.
