The Creole Lansing

A Taste of The South: Creole Burger Bar & Southern Kitchen, Lansing In the landscape of Lansing, Michigan, sits the Creole Burger Bar & Southern Kitchen, presenting a firm nod to Southern and specifically, New Orleans culinary arts. The ambiance? Aesthetically coherent. The service? On point without being too much. You step inside, and there’s an agreeable charm that doesn’t try too hard but accomplishes a lot. There’s a respectable variety in the food offerings, a Southern touch, not trying to re-invent the wheel but rolling it quite well. A night out with friends here became not about extravagance but a straightforward, good time. The interior - it works. Not overdone, but speaking to the theme without seeming like a caricature. We dove into several dishes, but those portabella fries with feta stood out. Not a conventional choice by any means, but an appetizer that you find yourself involuntarily nodding at with each bite. Everything that followed held its ground, though a note to the chefs – don’t shy away from embracing the boldness of Creole and Cajun on those fries. For those finding themselves in Lansing and inclined towards a culinary journey with a Southern touch, the Creole Burger Bar & Southern Kitchen warrants a visit. It doesn’t scream for your attention but confidently waits, knowing those who step inside will likely find a reason to return.

My wife and I had an excellent dining experience here! The atmosphere--like everything else--truly captures an authentic Creole feel, as if you were truly in NOLA. The staff is friendly, colorful, professional, and the service is prompt. As this was my first time here, I of course had to have the jambalaya. It was simply fantastic! A hearty blend of savor and spice. Without exaggeration, it tasted so good I found it difficult to put my fork down! Well worth the price! We will be coming here again, and more often! You will not regret choosing to eat here
