Really enjoyed dinner here. The food was amazing and the ambiance was nice. The French onion soup was very well seasoned, the mustard grain salad dressing was great, and the salmon and wild rice was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. They were able to easily accommodate my gluten allergy and point me in the direction of wonderful gluten-free options. Now I’m just looking forward to coming back for brunch!!

Great place and great food. First time here. Not very large but very nice. They were short staffed so things were slow but I’m ok with that, not the staff’s fault. I had hollandaise sauce 40 years ago and thought it was disgusting. Not anymore! Wow! They did have a few things on the menu that were out, even though they had just opened. Communication must be hard because the waitress didn’t know this. Regardless, I would recommend this place to anyone! Well done.

I HAVE to come here every time I come to Lansing. The soups, sandwiches and meals are so great. Good bar with interesting wine choices. The spelt bread is the bomb. Owner checked in on us, and our server was very pleasant and helpful.

Batter Up Bistro is a hidden gem of a restaurant that serves up some of the most delicious food in town. From their signature brunch to their mouth-watering chicken salad and wonderful pasties, everything on the menu is prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff only add to the experience. I highly recommend giving Batter Up Bistro a try!

Met a friend for a late lunch here one day. Loved the atmosphere and vibe. There were one or 2 other tables in at the time and we waited a while between server visits. Didn’t get silverware with the meal, which she realized when she set the plates down and came back with 1 fork and 1 napkin for each of us. I asked for a knife immediately and she came back with 1 butter knife a few minutes later… so we shared it.

All around excellent. Cari created a highly enjoyable experience. Service was prompt and food was exceptional. I had the sweet potato gnocchi, while my dad had the beef tenderloin. Highly recommended on all accounts.

Highly recommended. Food was great, atmosphere and decorating was on point. Eggs Benedict were fantastic. We were there on a Saturday morning. It was quite busy and therefore it took a bit longer to get our meals, but worth the wait.

I have been waiting for Batter Up Bistro to open after Covid. They are open now and I’m so happy they did. I met some friends for lunch; it was the first time they had been there. We all ended up with the chicken salad sandwich and we all loved it. Tracie was able to have the blue cheese swapped out for feta. The staff was very accommodating. I had the French onion soup with half a sandwich. The half looked like a whole sandwich and we all had leftovers to take home. I grabbed a slice of the zesty lemon cake and a slice of blueberry cheesecake to take home. Both are delicious.

Sun shines through the front windows, Tony Bennett’s voice, smooth and low wraps the room. Young server approaches and coffee appears. An immediate sense of understated sophistication allows your eye to catch details of comfortable ease. An invitation to settle in. My first visit here for lunch a fews days ago insured my second visit for breakfast late this morning. The other day was French Onion soup, a recipe I’d like to get hands on! Savory, a depth of flavor I’ve not found elsewhere yet. This followed by superb chicken salad, cranberries and bits of candied pecans add just a slight sweetness to this savory delight, all served on a bread almost more perfect than the chicken salad, makes it worth more than the price you’ll pay. And willingly, pay many times in the future! The sommelier filled my request for a mimosa (minus the orange juice). Yay!

My fiancé and I have dined here a few times since their reopening, it’s always been a pleasure. We love the old fashioned atmosphere and decor. They have masterfully created cocktails and the food is top notch. The service is always very friendly. I highly recommend giving them a try, and since they are open for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner with menus catered to each, they’ll be sure to please you any time of day.
