Very loud music, good beers if you like sours and IPAs but not much beyond that. Food was okay, not great. They do have gluten free pizza options.

Great menu. Even for picky eaters. Celiac Friendly too. My only complaint was portion size. Could have added a little more to the bowl.

We have visited the hop cat in both Lansing and Detroit now and I love going to both! This one is very fun - the beer stickers everywhere and the famous headshots add to the atmosphere and every staff member we've met is funny and kind. Their food is delicious and they have plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options as well. It's a must-go when we're in Lansing. Family friendly and very welcoming to all!

They have gluten-free options available at a pub which was a pleasant surprise, we went to visit on vacation from the desert and didn't have our warm clothes and the staff offered me and my girlfriend both sweaters and gloves for free. They went above and beyond. 😊

This is my #1 Middle Eastern restaurant. I visit every time I'm in Lansing! Been eating where since I was a little kid. So good I get food to eat and food to go - I especially love the lentil and rice soup, which I swear gets better as it sits in the fridge. Other highlights: baba ganouj, the vegan rice pudding, hashwi. Always a plus that all vegan and gluten free options are clearly labeled. And they were very helpful with my husband's dairy and nut allergies. I just wish the falafel was GF, I miss it so much.

Finally visited the other day and was not disappointed! The food (and prices) were awesome. I was surprised and excited to find they have gluten free wraps as well as salads, so there are many Celiac options. Service was very fast as well-perfect for a quick lunch break stop. Can't wait to try more of the menu!

They had gluten-free sushi and seemed very knowledgeable about what I could have as someone with celiac, the prices were great and the sushi was very good. Also Nolan was a great host.
