Batter Up Bistro

During the Mid Michigan Women’s Expo in Lansing, my husband and I discovered a little gem — Batter Up — and it truly became part of our expo experience. We stopped in Thursday afternoon for lunch and had the whole restaurant to ourselves. The space felt warm and welcoming, the staff incredibly kind, and the food was exactly what we needed before booth setup. I had a delicious vegetarian sandwich and a matcha latte — perfect fuel for a long day ahead. After setup, we tried to return for dinner but they had closed early — and honestly, I kept thinking about how lovely dinner would feel in that cozy space. So on Saturday night, I brought one of my students back with me — and this time the restaurant was bustling, nearly every table full. I’ll admit I missed the quiet intimacy of our first

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute perfection from start to finish! We attended a private New Year’s Eve event at Batter Up Bistro in Lansing, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The space is absolutely beautiful—so charming, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly well done. It felt warm, elegant, and welcoming the moment we walked in. The staff was so friendly and attentive, and the owners are some of the kindest, most genuinely welcoming people you could ever meet. You can truly feel the care and pride they put into every detail. The food was outstanding. We were served filet mignon and salmon with mashed potatoes and broccolini, and it was mouthwatering. Everything was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. We could not have asked for a better experience or a better way to ring in th

I almost don't want to tell you how great this place is because it is Lansing's best kept secret. I just love this place too much not to give them a few compliments. The vibe is chill and a tad bit romantic without trying to be. Great for brunch or even drinks with friends. Service is outstanding...especially Abby. The food is delicious, and worth writing about! Just go and try this place for yourself, you will not be disappointed!

Wow, what a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The place itself is absolutely stunning, just breathtaking! Alex really went above and beyond, making everything feel so special for me. Seriously, the service was top-notch and made my night! I'll definitely be coming back! Cari, the owner was so kind and made all the food herself

Batter Up Bistro has a beautiful interior with a well-thought-out design and cozy atmosphere. We arrived close to closing time, and they mentioned that a large group had been there earlier, so they were out of some menu items, especially bread. While the food was flavorful, the potatoes weren’t fully cooked, and the heavy use of butter made everything feel overly greasy. Another downside was the lack of service after our food arrived—no one came to check on us to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything. With better service and attention to food consistency, this place could be much better.
