If you’re a fan of spartan sports, spartan sports history, and spartan memorabilia this is a must stop before I after any MSU sporting event. Good variety of food from your typical barfood to a steak surf and turf dinner and everything in between. Just north of the MSU campus check it out next time you’re in town you won’t be disappointed you could probably spend an hour just walking around looking at all of the great Spartan stuff

Back in the 90's the Harrison Road House was a fine place to go for food or drinks. It still has some charm, but sadly has deteriorated due to benign neglect. Service is slow, and prices are about average for the area. It still has a great location, and with a thorough cleaning and some imaginative reworking of the menu, could return to its glory days.

Started inside but because it was so crowded, we couldn't hear each other let alone conversation across the table. We asked to sit outdoors even though it was very hot outside. Both servers and hosts were very good. No food this time but did enjoy our beer, Angry Mayor is a solid IPA and Amber Cream a smooth lighter beer.

In the 1980s, I lived and worked in Lansing,and this was our go to late night joint. It’s a reliable good time bar that keeps the beer cold and serves the best burgers and fries in the Capital. I went back recently, and I’m happy to report that it’s unchanged. Happy trails.

Old school place that fits downtown college atmosphere. Service was great and food was yummy! Had the “hipster” which is prosciutto - Brie- and strawberry jam on honey bread. Omg. So tasty! Crinkle fries were cooked perfectly. Family had pulled pork sandwich - tasty as well. Downside - whole area is under construction - but worth it! Great menu - great service- great place!

Peanut Barrel Restaurant

Reviewed By MrOcho

This was my first time to this Campus Eats visited restaurant that highlighted the olive burger. They have a long bar that seems like it should seat more than 12 and a dart board section (3) toward the entrance. Overall there were three people at the bar and 8 others in the restaurant.The place is very casual and they have a simple menu which I figured out was because the kitchen runs right off the side of the bar and is very small.My order was an olive burger with cheese (6.85) and a rodeo burger ($6.35). They come with chips or an up charge for fries ($1.60) and coleslaw ($1.60). I heard the beef was fresh and not frozen likely around 5-6 ounces. My server never asked how I wanted them cooked so it was disappointing that they were closer to well done than medium. Neither burger was juicy but were no totally dry. The edges were charred which was a plus. The olive burger had an interesting taste but to me was more of a marketing novelty than a real deal offering. I would never order it again. The fries were crisp and the pickles decent. The other burger with bacon and cheese was average at best as was the coleslaw.

The Chicago Deep dish pizza is a must try... super yummy!! So good I had to go back the next day and try something else. Had a cocktail, the rueben sandwich and decided to treat myself with the best shake I’ve had in years. If you are in East Lansing... stop here to eat... nice staff and fantastic food - and don’t forget to treat yourself to a shake too (I had the strawberry)!!

Second time I've been and brought some newbies along with me. Don't let the "hole in the wall" exterior scare you away. The service is fantastic, the food is delish and there's a large selection of beer. If you're ever in East Lansing, this place is a must!
