Waterfront Grill - Lansing

My daughter and her friend have watched goonies at the river. it was really nice. I just went in to use the toilet room, but it was clean, the furniture was wood and cleverly joined together. there was a huge old scale and I liked what it told me, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

It is not a bad place for a small party. it has a beautiful view and right next to the river path.

MSU fans all the way. 1st time there and we will be returning. Awesome food and service.

Pros: 1) They have the best patio in town, located right next to the river downtown. 2) They are very dog friendly. On my last visit, there were at least 8 dogs on the patio at varying times, and almost all of them were adorable. 3) The pizza that I ordered the last time I was there was tasty. 4) Service is generally good. 5) Music is good, 6) It's a nice spot to get a drink after a day of kayaking. Cons: 1) The menu is completely unexciting and sparse. There's four appetizers, three of which were probably purchased from a grocery store. There's five basic sandwiches plus a hamburger and hot dog option, and a couple of boring salads. As mentioned above, there's also pizza. 2) The craft beer selection is mediocre. At times I've even seen winter brews offered in the middle of the summer. I'm guessing they got it at a clearance rate. It's not a bad place, but there's absolutely no reason to go there for food or drinks, which is typically the draw for a normal bar. The only time I imagine anyone eating there is if they're already there and they need to put something in their stomach. I'm also not a fan of my tax dollars being used to choose a single business to subsidize, creating an unfair advantage against competition. Yes, because of the pros listed above, I will go back, but because the heavy weight of the cons, it's not a place I will frequent.

Use to love coming here. After hearing about them having to move to a new location/close down I wanted to enjoy it one last time. Food menu seems to be all premade low quality foods (pizza was definitely low quality frozen section from a grocery). Service was pretty slow. 2 waitresses for about 8 tables. Disappointed in quality of food and service speed. Service was friendly however. If they do move locations, hope they step it up.
