The eggs benedict was bland and tasteless. The potatoes were rather dry and seemed like they were sitting out for a long time. Having said this, in the kitchen's defence, the restaurant was jam packed. Our waitress did an amazing job. On a side note, please bring back the cannelloni!
This was our first visit. We came for Sunday brunch around 1:00 and got seated right away. We parked at M.A.C. about a block away which is free on Sundays. The place has a great college-town bar vibe. The waiter was pleasant and helpful. The food took a very long time to get to the table, but was worth it. I had the smothered burrito which was awesome and huge. My wife had the beggars bowl which was also wonderful. It came with a slice of thick-cut bacon which was amazing. We will definitely come again. Many more interesting things to try.
Nice brunch though it appears kitchen cooking is a bit inconsistent... My eggs Benedict had poached eggs that were fully cooked, no yoke while my companion had eggs that were runny.
It was ok... wish there were more low carb options but I made it work. The yogurt being served in its container... on my plate was different. Would have preferred it be in a bowl with a spoon. I had to eat the yogurt with a fork. The sausage links were great. My Husband ordered soft scramble and they were overcooked. We liked the salmon patty benedict the most
Stopped off after moving my son to State. Amazing food and service. Had the beggars bowl the chorizo gravy was sooooo good. My son destroyed the steak and eggs. And my wonderful beautiful wife throughly enjoyed the breakfast burrito with the chorizo gravy. Great place. Next time I need to try the Symathy for the Devil chili. Amy restaurant named after a Rolling Stones album is good in my book. 😀
It's quickly obvious why they have been in business so many years and are thriving amongst all of the construction chaos across the street from them. The food is nothing short of spectacular. Delicious and impeccably presented. Service is spot on.
Wonderful to revisit one of my favorite places to eat and drink from my student years at MSU. Still looks largely the same; stained glass light fixtures, rough, old timbers and lots memorabilia on the walls. Nice ambiance, good food and drinks.
Visited on Saturday during East Lansing’s art fair. No wait for a table, but the servers seemed a bit overwhelmed. Excusable due to the event though. The brunch was simply outstanding. I had the veggie bowl and was impressed. My 11 year old got The King, which is basically a cross between French toast and bananas foster. She gave it 5 stars. It’s a little dark inside and feels more bar than restaurant, but not so much that it’s weird to eat there with kids. Overall, I say it’s one of the best breakfast/brunch spots in Mid-Michigan.
