I've visited three times now for either breakfast or lunch and enjoyed everything I've ordered. It tastes homemade and delicious every time. The service is friendly, informative and fast.
Diner food on a whole other level. Locally sourced ingredients and interesting specials. Friendly staff. Great prices considering the quality of the food. My wife said it was the best pancakes she’s ever had
The best breakfast in the area and it's not even close. They use local whenever possible and keep a chalkboard up of the local sources. I can't call it a diner because it's so much more. After the first time I had an omelet here I knew where I was having breakfast again. Huge fluffy omelets with so many add-ins to pick from. Local breads, fantastic french toast and perfect pancakes. Coffee is also local and excellent. Great options for lunch as well. They also have a nice tap selection of microbrews from the general area. Can't wait to go back each time. I've never had a bad meal here. As a warning, It can fill up fast as it's relatively small.
East Shore Roadhouse is a cozy, refreshed spot for breakfast and lunch—bright, welcoming, and a little more polished than your typical roadside cafe. It’s got a relaxed, friendly vibe and feels like a local favorite without being too “diner-y.” We stopped in for breakfast and loved it. I had the breakfast sandwich, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying, and he had the omelet with bacon and home fries—everything was cooked just right, with crispy bacon and golden, well-seasoned potatoes. Portions are generous, and the coffee is solid (and refilled often!). If you’re looking for a casual but nicely done breakfast or lunch near the lake, East Shore Roadhouse is a great pick—simple, tasty food in a space that feels both homey and up-to-date.
Delicious food, great attentive service, we love this restaurant. Great beer on tap! Cubano sandwich is the best one I’ve ever had!!
Excellent visit and will definitely be back. The space is welcoming and the owners have done a very nice job with renovating from the previous business. It is light colored and a rustic vibe which is cozy and airy. The breakfast menu felt very diner like with a high quality flair for those we are looking for something a little more upscale. Food was fantastic, great local items included and advertised as well as local beers on tap. We loved everything we ate. Service was friendly and quick and the prices were excellent. We were a group of 3 adults who each had a meal, plus one side of delicious Wide Awake Bakery Bread and jam, 3 coffees total, 2 local craft beers total, and a mimosa and the bill came out to 56 before tip! The food is clearly homemade and done with care. Highly reccomend stopping in and getting a meal. Side note: they use very lightly processed, unbleached flour to make their biscuits and pancakes which is healthier and easier to digest for people that deal with the issues of American Gluten products. They also had oat milk available for a non-dairy option if people need it. All in all, 5 star, can't wait to go back!
Came here for breakfast and fell in love with the breakfast specials! Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. If anything, the coffee could be better, but lovely experience overall!
Every time I’m in a Lansing I try and stop in to the East Shore Roadhouse. I’ve been trying something different each time as I work my way thru the menu. I find myself wanting to order everything I’ve already tried- why get something else if I’ve found things I like and want to eat again? Well, because everything I’ve had is so good. Places like this are hard to come by and the ownership works hard and are good people. Worth the drive for sure. Keep doing what you do, it’s working!
