I love this Restaurant, the atmosphere, the food and the look of the place. It genuinely feels like a great hangout place I would want to bring my loved ones and friends like characters in the popular 80's-90's sitcom: "Cheers". I hope to go to this Restaurant as much as possible, and I intend to go there today in fact. Thank you so much to all the staff and individuals who keep this awesome Restaurant going and functioning for everyone.

Great steak, juicy and flavorful! It’s definitely a hidden gem on the north side of Lansing. And the service from the bartenders and servers are always accommodating!

We came here with a fairly large group (7 adults, 2 babies) on a busy night so our wait was pretty long and we ended up being sat at two different tables - I probably would have been alright with going somewhere else at that point, but I’m glad we stayed. The food was great and when mistakes were made, our server and the cooks were quick to correct them. The atmosphere is nice and cozy albeit a touch bland. Prices are pretty high also.

Excellent ribeye! We called in an order.Bartender on phone was cool and took my order easily and hooked up everything I needed when I picked up the food. I’ll be back. Ribeye sandwich needs to come back 😉.

Fantastic! I planned a party for my man's bday here, absolutely top of the line service and smiles. Everyone was super welcoming and food was good, drinks were cold and filled often. Everything was fantastic! Thank you ALL!

Some of the best prime rib I've ever had- and I'm picky. Server was very friendly and service overall was fantastic. Will be back.

The burgers were terrible Both of them, the Olive burger and the double cheeseburger one was underdone 1 was overdone and I cannot believe they charge $20 for a double cheeseburger and a fry. I will never go there again. I used to always love the airport bar. Their food is always great. But not anymore.

Great home-feel place with delicious food and excellent attentive service. Have ate there for years and was saddened by another small owned business struggling when they temporarily suspended food service. However they are back to serving dinner (check hours on Facebook) and the food is as delicious as ever. The steak needs absolutely nothing and was perfectly cooked. Will be going back and back again.
