Since my previous review, i have seen that the e. lansing and the
location near oldsmobile have closed. At the time of my last review,
i did not know there was a s. cedar location and have only recently
seen a famous taco in a small strip-type location west of the lansing
mall. If anyone from the area can help, it would be good to know
the current open locations and if they are all affiliated with
the original famous taco. Thanks.

most times. Good for families. Salad bar, small counter bar,

Has the "family-owned" atmosphere vs. a chain restaurant.

Well known western-motif steak-house chain restaurant. If
you have never been to one, you should go. Upscale, clean, fun
atmoshphere. Service has always been good there for me. Good
food, can get pricey. Make sure it's cooked the way you want
it. Can be a substantial wait during busy periods. Two things
that I don't really enjoy about Lone Star. When there is a
substantial wait, ,, the hostess breaks in over the music (which
is normally a very fun part of this place) .....when this happens
every 30 seconds, ,, it can get very annoying. They have a very
nice bar, ,however - regardless of if you came in for a drink,
or you are waiting for a table, ,, the restaurant has a policy
of serving only two drinks to anyone at the bar, ,, ,, they will
completely ignore you if you've had two drinks. Nice place
to eat tho, overall.

Long-time fast food favorite on the west side of battle creek.
Family owned and operated for years. Good fast food, ,, many
options, ,, breakfast, ,great coffee, crinkle fries, drive
thru window, ,, chili dogs are my favorite. If you wanna break
from the "big" fast-food chains, Ritzee is a good
change up. Large, open dining area. You order at the counter,
then they bring your meal to your table.

Well know mexicana-style chain restaurant. Very large and open
seating, ,, with a casual, fun atmosphere. Music, lots of color,
quasi-ethnic decor. I find the serving to price ratio to be pretty
good here, if you order the right selections. Combo plates and
specials seem to be a fairly good value. Nice bar area, with high-top
seating as well as inviting bar seating. Service is usually friendly
and good, ,sometimes very personable. Good selection of beers, ,, and
marguritas too, their specialty. Dos Equie draft is my fav, ,, but
don't let them serve you those ridiculous fish bowls that
they call beer glasses, ,, ,, demand the pint glasses!!! (my
personal crusade). Located within the area of the Lakeview Square
Mall, however the building is seperate and away from the mall
in the southeast corner of the mall parking lot, ,, ,easy assess
from I-94, easy parking. Muy bien!!

The Comedy Club is generally known to be a nite spot with a very
large area of seating for comedy shows on the weekends and a seperate
bar area, with a fun, inviting atmosphere. There are tvs for sporting
events, a large outdoor deck, and a long bar. Staff is usually
younger and friendly. Busy times in the bar can be nearly standing
room only with people sitting and standing on the deck, ,, shuttling
in and out. A good meeting place for drinks and music. I believe
they may offer appetiser-type food, however, I am not familiar
with their selection. They have bike nite on Monday, and if you
are a rider, it will be worth your time to try it, ,, ,you get the
front and side of the parking lot with deck all around to park in,
free from other cars and trucks, ,, ,nice showcase for all to
watch you come and go on a beautiful summer eve. They also have
DJ and dancing some nites and host a Karokee competetion one nite
of the week. Fun place, near the mall, ,, ,on Capital Ave. SW.

Carl Angelo's, ,, ,a long time local favorite and watering
hole for the north side of battle creek, changed ownership and
name about 2 yrs ago, ,, or 3. It is now the Bailey Park Grille
and has been remodeled to open the atmoshpere and freshen the
look. The new owners have remodeled the inside as well as adding
doors and windows to the new outdoor patio area. Not sure of their
current menu, altho rumor has it that they tried to keep some of
the familiar italian items from Angelos on the menu. The burgers
are delicious and the atmosphere is very casual. They offer live
music on the weekends, usually, and dining during the music-time
can be uncomfortably loud, ,, ,this is when it turns from a bar/restaurant
to a bar. Probably ok if you eat before 8-9 pm.

busy on the weekends. It has casual, comfortable seating and
atmosphere with an ample winding bar top, sports tvs, tables
and booths. Music is prevalent, usually, and service is historically
good. I believe they serve lunch, dinner as well as favorite appetizers, although my experience is less with the food. Am told it is good. Know for good drinks and as a meeting spot, not far from Capital Ave SW and Columbia Ave, on Columbia Ave.

I have found the quality of Big Boy, ,, in many locations, not
just b.c., ,to be quite variable. It is, of course, a large chain,
many times open early till quite late in some locations. They
offer a popular breakfast bar, which can be good if the food is
fresh, ,, careful about going right at the end of the buffet
time. I would say, in general, there is a good selection of foods,
however, my gut tells me to stick with the burgers, breakfast
items, ,, ,can't see spaghetti (altho never tried it here).
The battle creek location has a very nice all-glass side room
which is quite large and brings in the outdoors nicely. Kind of
a hit & miss vote with me, altho coffee and dessert will most
always be good here, at least.

I used to frequent Famous Taco when they were in downtown Lansing
when I attended MSU. It was then, and remains now, in it's
2 new locations (no longer in the downtown Lans. location), some
of the most authentic and tastee mexican cuisine around. They
have a shredded beef wet burrito that will bring you back time
and time again. The portions are generous, to say the least. Locations
in Lansing and East Lansing. Very casual, authentic atmosphere,
in general. When I travel to Lansing, ,I try to make it a point
to stop, it's well worth it!!
