Dining Info to Know Before You Go
Dining out at local eateries is a favorite pastime for travelers, no matter where they’ve traveled from. We can promise you that the food found in mid-Michigan is worth the wait! We offer a wide array of dining options that serve a variety of cuisines including farm fresh fare, classic burgers and International delicacies.
Below are some tips to help you navigate dining out during your Greater Lansing getaway:
Be flexible, patient and kind. Many hospitality related businesses are experiencing staffing challenges and are having to close unexpectedly or are asking limited staff to do the job of many. Your patience and kindness is appreciated. Having a back-up location in mind is also a great idea if your first choice is not an option.
Dine at non-peak hours such as lunch and happy hour (2-5pm). Not only will you save time, but you’re likely to save money because lunch menus are typically lower in price and happy hour typically comes with food specials.
Make reservations or use call-ahead seating options.
Take advantage of delivery and carryout. Be sure to order in advance to lessen your wait time at pick-up.
Sip, savor and stroll! Enjoy your beverage “to-go” and utilize one of Lansing’s three social districts. Learn more here.
Check for revised restaurant hours and limited-capacity seating by contacting your eatery of choice.
Our local businesses are thrilled to see your smiling faces. We apologize for any inconvenience you may encounter and appreciate your patience with area attractions, restaurant and lodging partners as they navigate an unprecedented year.
