"Food was good. I enjoyed the biscuit and jam as a side to the chicken and grits. The servers and staff were very helpful and friendly. I loved the decor and atmosphere of the place."

"I looked up restaurants in Lansing before visiting from out of town, and People’s Kitchen did not disappoint! Everyone from the hostess to the bartender (I ate at the bar) was kind and attentive. The food was excellent - one of the best meals I’ve had in a while! The presentation was nice too. The butternut squash, prosciutto, and burrata salad had a good balance of sweet, salty, crunchy, and creamy. The crab cakes were delicious, with plenty of crab, and the fennel citrus salad was a nice complement. Crab cakes are a favorite of mine, and some places add too many fillers. If I lived here, I would be back! The only possible note I could have is that it was a little loud, so it could be a little hard to hear your conversation sometimes."

"So the food is NOT worth the price. My fish was super greasy and unseasoned! The fries had zero flavor. was warned that the food was not good before I went, but the atmosphere is what it's about. Well, I like the idea of the "people's kitchen, power to the people" thing, but I didn't see a lot of that theme there. This is a huge waste of 145$ ( 2 ppl ). I ate at the bar, so I'm guessing that's why I never got 1 refill. I'm afraid to try The Golden Harvest now 😢 ( I Heard the chef left the Golden harvest and went to start The People's Kitchen)"

"I got the duck breast, which was delicious, but what absolutely delighted me was the beet on my plate! I've never had a problem with beets, but they have never excited me before either. I plan to invest some time in recreating these ones! They tasted like a steak, charred on the outside, smoky, and cooked to a perfect softness, but not mushy."

"Truly, The People's Kitchen has to have the most delicious food in Lansing. Every dish is high quality and well made. Plus the waitstaff always gives excellent service. Do yourself a favor and go for brunch. Their pancakes are the best I've ever had. Pictured are the Espresso Martini (amazing) and the Hippie Quiche (amazing). I have tried something new each time I've gone because it's all so good."
