We frequent a restaurant/bar in Lansing that has never let
us down. We have been going there about
once a week for the last three years (give or take a visit or two). This place has never let us down, and they always
have delicious food and pretty good service.
The place that I am talking about is The Nuthouse in downtown
Lansing. This is our go to place when we
do not want to deal with the possibility of being disappointed. Our friends know that when they come and see
us in Lansing that we will be going there.
Now, we
have had a couple of times where the server was kind of rude but those times
are far away now. I mean it, literally they
were years ago and that has not happened since.
The Nuthouse has a podium as soon
as you walk in so that you know you need to wait to be seated; if the place is
dead then the bartender will holler to you that you can seat yourself. I can deal with that. I really am not that high maintenance.
The establishment
has a great atmosphere; they are a sports bar with plenty of elbow room to move
around. There are around half a dozen or
so flat screen TVs with the most desired games on them. You can choose between the restaurant side
and the bar side (we usually choose the bar side). They have a game room off of the bar side
that has plenty to do. In the summer
they now have seating outside so you can also take that option as well. There is always some kind of private party
going on there, but there is always still plenty of room for you and a large
group to comfortably dine or drink there.
Lets
get to the good stuff; the food. Their
food is delicious. It is a step up from
bar food, and they are always making slight changes to the menu to ensure that
there is something new on it every few months.
I have literally NEVER had a bad meal there; nor have any of my friends
been disappointed in their food at Old Faithful. My favorite has to be their homemade spinach and
artichoke calzone. It is so delicious
that I have ordered it almost every time that we are there. It is filled with delicious spinach (one of
my favorites) creamy mozzarella cheese with slight doses of tomato and red
onion. I am telling you, it is one of
the best things that I have had…anywhere.
I now
try to mix it up when I go there. I
would always get that calzone but I figured
since I enjoyed that so much then I should try and mix it up to see how all of
the other food is. Well the starters are
all delicious; Collin (my fiancé) and I usually get some kind of an
appetizer. We have ordered them all and
we have never been let down. Not just
run of the mill appetizers either, they all have a homemade taste to them. However, recently we ordered the buffalo
chicken sliders and we were blown away!
We were expecting them to be good, but they exceeded our
expectations. There were three of them
and we also ordered a side of fries for $1.
We split the whole thing and considered that our dinner for the
evening. We were absolutely full and
still had some money in our pockets to have a couple more drinks. So we turned an appetizer into a meal, it
never hurts to save a little money.
Our
waitress here was so nice. She greeted
us immediately when we walked in the door and took us to our seat. She took our drink order and had them to us
in no time flat. When she took our food
order she noticed that we had a KENO ticket, so she asked if we wanted her to
take it up for us. This was amazing to
me because I have literally NEVER had someone ask to take the KENO ticket up. In fact most places have a strict rule
against it. So this was quite pleasing
to us as well.
Obviously
I love The Nuthouse; and they deserve our adoration. They serve quality food and give impeccable service. I would recommend that if you are in the
Lansing area to stop in and try some of their delectable food. You will not be disappointed! That is why we call it and it deserves the
name “Old Faithful.”
