Bulldog Ale House

"Live about a mile from this place and forgot all about it since it was Jack's I'm kicking myself for not stopping in sooner. The food here is absolutely incredible, freshly made and bursting with flavor. We got wings and the mini burgers and were shocked at the quality. The burgers were the highlight of the trip. Freshly made patties and what honestly seemed like home made buns as well. Definitely going back to this place."

"I was surprised that there weren't many reviews yet after we finished up considering most of the food options were made in house and very tasty.. Let me start by saying how much I liked having a dark beer on tap versus the obligatory IPA that everyone seems to be on about the last bunch of years. Getting it on the cheap during happy hour was even better.. Bulldog Ale was very drinkable. Speaking of happy hour, the appetizers were also on the cheap, but there's nothing cheap about them. The poppers were fresh (and unbreaded for those gluten intolerant folks) with a nice heat. The crispy brussel sprouts were sophisticated, and if you're a purist get the sauces on the side. The real star of the appetizer show was the Italian beef egg rolls.. okay it's not authentic but it was juicy and crispy, so tasty. Got a burger (not a pre-formed frozen patty) that was cooked right and was seasoned better than average. Portions were as expected, the tables were clean, and the music wasn't blasting so I was able to have a normal conversation without shouting. Music was from my generation (ok I'm middle aged) but that too was pleasant and welcoming. I'll be coming here again as a local, I expect not only for the above but because the ice cream candy shop is across the street.. Sorry BDAH you need to step up the desert game but otherwise a decent addition to the downtown Lansing businesses."

"Everything looks great inside, the drinks are awesome, and the service is top-notch! I recommend their crave-worthy garlic fries."

"Stopped here one night a little while back and my friends and I were excited to check out this new "Ale House". The appearance is updated and looks great! However, the beer department was definitely lacking. How do you call yourself an Ale house and only carry basic domestics? None in cans or draft. We didn't bother to stay. We're hoping to try them some other time in the future when and if they get a better ale/craft selection. But for now, if you're looking for craft beers, this isn't the place."

"A great dining experience! Our group was so busy talking and took forever to order but the server was very patient with us. Once we ordered, our food was served in a timely manner and was great! I’m not a hamburger person normally, but this was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, no exaggeration! My compliments to the chef. The restaurant is clean and the atmosphere is cozy. The drinks were good too!"
