    The service here was amazing; they were very attentive to our table and made sure that we were doing alright. The food tasted delicious and was prepared very professionally. I came here to celebrate my anniversary, and I will continue to do so because of this experience!

    Batter Up Bistro is one of my favorite spots in Lansing! The entire staff is always incredibly friendly, which I think comes from their wonderful owner. She clearly takes pride in what she does and genuinely loves hosting, creating a warm and welcoming culture. I celebrated my birthday here, and the staff went above and beyond by giving me a card and cake—it was such a thoughtful touch. The food is consistently delicious, with excellent gluten-free and vegan options. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for great food and an amazing atmosphere!

    We went to the bistro a couple of years ago for breakfast and dinner. Both meals were outstanding. We were back in Lansing two years later and again visited the bistro. The food is still delicious, and I would recommend Batter Up Bistro to anyone who enjoys delicious food prepared by an outstanding chef and owner, Cari

    This lovely bistro was a surprise in Lansing but signified the efforts of the city to emerge from the depressed state it has been in. The restaurant is small and cozy, very well decorated. The bar is large with an impressive cocktail list. The menu is varied and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend Batter Up Bistro!

    We were seated outside on the patio for Mother’s Day. It was the only available option when I booked the reservation. We were the only people seated outside though there did appear to be available tables inside. One other person was seated outside shortly before we left. We felt like we were the forgotten table. It was buffet for Mother’s Day so the food was “help yourself,” but otherwise service was slow. Perhaps we will try another time when it isn’t buffet and we can sit inside.
