“ Favorite bar food in East Lansing! Our server did a great job accommodating the needs of such a large group! I almost missed out on pictures but here’s a sample of some tasty items available! ”
“ I took my "neice" who is an MSU student here (or rather she told me this is where she wanted to go eat). I've never been and so I went upon her suggestion. I'm glad we did, food was amazing! Our server was really nice and attentive. The atmosphere seemed to have a good vibe. The complaint is not having a main well lit entrance as the side door in the long alley was kinda creepy. The huge parking lot that was entirely empty that no one can park at is also weird as it appears to be labeled for a car wash? While I understand this may be due to other factors, the location of this place is a poor one. Otherwise what a great place!! ”
“ Always something for everyone. Ample menu and everything is fantastic! If you're thirsty there is a huge drink selection from a full bar, seasonal flavored shots to a nice selection of micro-brews. Depending on time of day, it is excellent choice for families but nearer late hours much more pub-only. The only downside is parking which can be lacking and a bit tricky as the main parking lot is not owned by Crunchy's so you will need to park in Paid parking nearer the Community Park in the rear. Overall, Crunchy's continues to be the bomb! ”
“ Crunchy's is an East Lansing classic. Great beer on tap and a large menu. A lot of fun to go during karaoke or trivia. The blackened chicken club is probably my favorite chicken sandwich in Lansing. The tater tots are great. ”
“ I have a lot of friends that went to Michigan State and Crunchys was a go to spot for them. I finally made it in for lunch. It was a great spot for Burgers, Tots and Beer. Great college hang out. Food was good for sure. ”
