Best American Restaurants in Lansing

Bowdies Chophouse is such a great place. From the food to the service to the ambience, everything is top notch. We cannot wait to come back!

Really great place for are first time there! My fiancé got the shrimp and crab cake, he wishes he would have gotten something else but he loved the lobster bisque! I got raw oysters, yumm!! With seared scallops with sweat potato and miso risotto! 10/10 over all it was a great place!!

The lady and I enjoyed every bit of our valentine's dinner.

This was my first time to BJ's, and I was with my child daughter having dinner before an event at the Wharton. I don't have any complaints about visiting BJ's. The menu was huge, a good reason to come back and try more. We only had the burgers, and they were huge and cooked medium just as we asked. Pizookies, what a fun menu option. We each chose a different flavor and they were delicious. Decent price point compared to similar dining options.

This is a wonderful new venue to enjoy a great meal. They have a varied price range so you can enjoy a lower price point meal, at a nice restaurant, without it breaking the bank. There are also higher price point items for your choosing. I am impressed with the service, food quality, and quantity, as well as the atmosphere. We chose to request a booth so we didn’t feel like we were sitting quite so close to our neighbors as the next table. Just a personal preference. Our server was wonderful and attentive. I have food allergies, and was impressed that the manager came over with a laminated list of food items that I should avoid. This was so helpful! The noise level is one of people simply enjoying their time together over a lovely meal! I will admit… the music that was playing at the time was not a genre that was one I’d choose for dinner music. It didn’t feel like it added to the ambiance, and was up a bit louder than I would expect for this venue. Could be that we were sitting right under or close to a speaker, too. This is just personal preference. Everything we’ve tried so far has been fabulous! I give this establishment top scores in all areas. This was our second time there. We definitely will return!
