Sidecar Slider Bar - Lansing

Beautiful ambience low lit, with music playing. Prices at happy hour are awesome. I have the chicken tenders and the pretzel bites. I also had a high noon strawberry. Had an absolutely wonderful time reading my book and enjoying lunch. Will definitely be returning. Colin was a rockstar.

I really really really wanted this place to be awesome. The concept sounded great and I hadn't really been to anything like it before (that involved burgers). The pics that I'd seen from other reviews, made it look cool inside. I literally skipped across the street to the front door because I was so excited.

Both the outside and inside decor is very catchy with a kind of industrial vibe. Unfortunately that's where my excitement ended. Our waitstaff was not helpful at all, and didn't seem interested in being there. The wait time seemed to be forever. Every step of the process. We waited for menus, waited for drinks, waited to put in our order, waited for the food. With only a few people sitting at the bar, we were the only actual table in the whole restaurant. So it wasn't because they were busy, otherwise I could understand.

We picked a variety of burgers because we wanted to try everything. I can't remember them exactly now for this review, but they really aren't worth mentioning anyway. There was nothing about any of them worth mentioning. They really could have hit a home run with some well seasoned custom meat/burger combo, but instead, everything was bland and lifeless. If those burger patties aren't frozen slabs of whatever beef, I have some swamp land in Florida to sell you. We sided our orders with waffle fries and tots because we wanted to try both. Even those weren't any better than what I could have made at home in my air fryer.

I didn't go into the bathroom so I can't make comments about that. But the rest of the place was pretty spotless. Maybe they have more time to clean, because they aren't spending it on service or improving the food.

Now maybe you're thinking I'm being a little harsh in my review. And maybe you're right. My review is a little late, and maybe things have improved since then. I will go back because I want this place to be awesome. I will try it again. I just hope I don't waste another trip there.

This place is amazing! All of the food is fresh and excellent. Even the chicken strips were hand breaded and amazing. Sliders are terrific. I totally recommend the loaded tots. They were awesome.

Service was excellent. And everything was very clean. Loved the cool pics of people riding in motorcycle side cars. Cool theme!

I'd definitely eat here again!

Another great small eatery in Downtown Lansing. The Bbq Cobb salad was divine. My son inhaled the pickle fries. Great variety of beverages. My Ol pal bourbon drink was the right balance of sweet and sour. Atmosphere combines burger joint with a place to grab a quick drink. Will definitely visit again when I'm in town.

Awesome place to go for good bar food and a nice selection of drinks. Outside seating by a fire, indoor tables and chairs, and a bar all allow plenty of seating in what looks to be a small establishment. Service is always good too.

This place had a good location downtown. The inside was spacious and seemed legit. However, the service and speed of food from order to table needs an improvement. The food seemed like it had been sitting for awhile to be delivered and our waitress needs some more training. We were really excited to try this location but will stick to the others on the east side of the state.

Came in with friends visiting the EL area, stopped by for lunch.

The fries were incredible, easily the best part of our meals. The sliders on the other hand, were just okay. I get this isn't fine dining but I swear all the patties were frozen and reheated, there was an overwhelming blandness going on. The chicken patty was easily the worst, don't know what was up with that.

East Lansing already has a poor restaurant scene, it's sad this place couldn't be a tad better.

Over priced for portion size, long wait time from being sat, taking of orders, even being given the bill when we were the only ones in the restaurant. Good vibes in the restaurant though but not worth the money.

We were looking for a late night bite, I'm so glad we stopped here. We had the pretzel and cheese, truffle fries, and a number of different sliders. The food and service were great. Highly recommended.

The food was fun and really good. My wife and I both had an assortment of sliders and they were all very good.
Sadly the service is the only reason I couldn't give them 5 stars. We got seated right away but not even a water for more than 20 minutes. We also witnessed three other couples leave for the same reason. Hopefully they can fix the issues
