- DELUCA'S
When our
customers travel to Lansing with our Pink Cruiser party bus, they
always ask us where the best place is for pizza. And without fail, we
tell them Deluca's. This is the place to go for a really fantastic deep
dish, and personally we recommend the spinach filled one! It's just
incredible, packed with flavor. If you prefer a meat-filled deep dish,
they've certainly got you covered there too. The salads are really
fresh and delicious, and they're a great option for the vegan and
vegetarian crowds. The thing that we enjoy most about this restaurant
is that it really feels more like a bar, and in fact it's a great spot
to relax with your friends or that special date any night of the week.
A true all around classic in Lansing!

- SAWYER'S GOURMET PANCAKES
Sawyer's
Gourmet Pancakes is such an essential stop when you're in Lansing. The
different types of pancakes that they offer here are just such a
thrilling experience for your tastebuds! It's a breakfast lover's
paradise. Our favorites are the banana pecan pancakes, and we also
really enjoy the peanut butter banana french toast, as well as the
strawberry french toast. If you're there for lunch and you just aren't
in the mood for breakfast food, why not try their delicious hamburgers
and sweet potato fries? That's always a great option. The prices can be
a bit high here, especially when compared to other breakfast places,
but you of course realize that you're getting much more than the
average breakfast here! You'll love it.
608 West Saginaw Street
- GOLDEN HARVEST
When
you're seeking a really delicious breakfast in Lansing, we would feel
very comfortable steering you towards Golden Harvest. Our personal
favorite, which is a little too wild for some, is the Fruity Pebbles
french toast! You certainly aren't going to find that elsewhere, and
needless to say, the kids go crazy for it. They've got everything from
the classics to some really unusual offerings, and that means that
everybody is covered, including yourself, older family members, and
your kids. Whether you're dining as a family, as a couple, or as a solo
breakfast-goer, you will certainly enjoy every morsel here, and you
won't pay too much for it either! It's tough to pick a top favorite for
breakfast in this area, but this is one!
1625 Turner Street
- SOUP SPOON CAFE
Soup
Spoon Cafe is another one of the most beloved restaurants in Lansing,
this one located on East Michigan Avenue. We often come in for
breakfast, especially for the simple classics like eggs and toast. They
do it so well. Lunch and dinner is just heaven here, especially if you
order some of that fantastic seafood chowder. We've never had it this
good before! And the signature cocktail that we always recommend to
everybody is the Dark & Stormy. Most places just have the old
standards so it's nice to see a selection of signature drinks,
especially when they are made so well and not overly sweet. We wouldn't
hesitate to recommend any item on the menu to you! Everything that they
serve here is exquisite.
1419 East Michigan Avenue
- PABLO'S PANADERIA
Craving
Mexican food when traveling with our Pink Cruiser? Pablo's Panaderia is
the top notch Mexican restaurant that we recommend to all our friends
and customers alike. While we wouldn't call this upscale, it is on a
higher level than most Mexican eateries in Michigan, and we find that
it's just perfect for casual dates with someone new or your significant
other. Our top favorite item here is the simplest -- the tacos! We love
them with delicious spicy chorizo, zesty carne asada, or perfectly
cooked chicken or pork. No matter what fillings you choose, you can be
sure that those tacos are always top notch! The service is really
fantastic here, with the kind of staff that really goes out of their
way to make sure that you're happy too!

- EL OASIS
Another one
of our favorite establishments for delicious Mexican food is El Oasis,
and this one is just a small stand located on East Michigan Avenue. We
typically order the sopes here, and we also really enjoy the pork
tacos. They have amazing burritos that you can have filled with carne
asada or even spicy chorizo. Please note that they're known for their
green sauce, so make sure to order some of that with whatever else you
get. They have mandarin Jarritos here too, which are the perfect
complement to any Mexican meal, if you ask us! Note that their hours
are only until five on Sundays, and until seven every other day of the
week. We wish they were open later too, but it's definitely worth
getting there early!
2501 East Michigan Avenue
- CLADDAGH IRISH PUB
We're
always seeking out great Irish pubs no matter where we go, and since we
discovered Claddagh Irish Pub on Towne Centre Boulevard in Lansing, we
have been hooked! The monte cristo is our favorite thing to order here,
followed very closely by the fish and chips. Just delish. For a
healthful and delicious lunch, we'd recommend the steak salad! Kids and
adults alike both enjoy the meatloaf melt and the chicken tenders!
They're kind of known for their fabulous Irish coffees, so even if you
typically opt for a beer or a whiskey, you'll do very well to try at
least one of those fabulous whipped cream topped masterpieces! As youc
an tell, we're huge fans. Everything here is great, including the
service. Top notch!
2900 Towne Centre Boulevard
- TROPPO
For a nicer
restaurant in Lansing, Troppo is our first choice. You can't walk into
this one wearing just anything, so make sure that you're in your best
attire and ready for a really elegant time. We love to start things off
with the butternut squash soup, and the portabello mushroom appetizer
is also a very nice starter. They're known for their mandarin martinis,
so that's nice either before or after dinner too. For a group, we
recommend sharing the white chicken pizza. Always good, and so many
steps up from the other pizzas that you will find in town! The people
who work here are really attentive to their customers, and we have
never had anything but a wonderful experience here. We're certain that
you will too!
101 South Washington Square
- THAI FOOD FROM LAMAI'S KITCHEN
When
you're traveling with Pink Cruiser party bus, if you happen to have a
craving for some delicious Thai food, we'd point you straight toward
Lamai's Kitchen. This is the most reliable place to get the amazing
flavors of Thailand, including all your favorite soups like tom yum,
all your favorite noodle dishes like pad thai, and all your
favorite appetizers like spring rolls! We're also huge fans of their
stuffed eggplant. What makes this even better is that it's a lunch
buffet, so you can fill up on the cheap, and eat until you're full.
Please note that the bay leaves can be sharp in the soups, so be sure
to remove them before eating. Truly a very high quality restaurant,
with the kind of great staff that makes the entire experience so nice.
2033 East Michigan Avenue
- PF CHANG'S
We don't
ordinarily recommend chain restaurants, simply for the reason that
everybody already knows about them, but PF Chang's is one of our
exceptions. Why? Because the atmosphere is just perfect for fun dates
and for nights out with the family. Plus, the food is so delicious! We
are in love with all their indulgent noodle dishes, and we also love
the green tea noodles that you can order as a side. The sesame
encrusted ahi tuna is always a nice starter too, and everybody that we
know is hooked on their lettuce wraps (chicken or vegetarian). They've
got lots of healthier options here too, plus a gluten free menu for
those who need it. You'll be surprised that the flavor is exactly the
same. Highly recommended!
