I've always had a good experience to city limits. Become mostly on Friday night or Monday nights because of the specials. Tonight the 15th I had prime rib which was not up to normal expectations. However the ambience was great the service was wonderful as always and I will always continue returning
I'm from Grand Rapids. When I visit Lansing to see my family we often meet here. Clean, modern lanes with a friendly staff. Food and drink in the restaurant is good as well.
UPDATE: Back in town for the holidays and decided to give it another try. Great experience this time! Thanks so much!
====================
I like this place but just got totally screwed. Invited a family of 12 for dinner. Tried to make a reservation as soon as they opened that morning but was told they already had too many reservations. Fair enough, but they then said that if we came in far in advance, they could work us in. We showed up 45 minutes early only to be turned away completely. FAIL.
Food was really good. Service was ok, we had a big party and it seemed to throw the waitress off. Bowling alley seemed pretty nice. The only bad thing seemed to be that the restrooms weren't particularly well maintained. Had a very good selection of craft beers and domestics. Would definitely recommend trying it out.
We love to bowl and eat pizza. This place is perfect! Friendly staff, good local craft beer section. We visit here often.
The wait staff was very polite. The kitchen however was unable to deliver a burger with no tomatoes ( which I'm allergic to) after 3 attempts I asked for a manager who asked very agrivated "the kitchen is usually pretty good so what do u want me to do about it? I already comped the burger." Needless to say I'll never go back. Unless you are willing to eat whatever the "usually good" kitchen decides to make you I don't recommend you go here.
Went here for a lunch meeting. Was fairly busy but I didn't have to wait long for a seat. The menu had a pretty great variety. I highly recommend the City Limits Michigan Salad. The staff was friendly, attentive, and not intrusive while we were talking. Would recommend to those in the area.
City Limits has the worst staff I've ever seen. Last night my girlfriend and I went to bowl and have dinner, after waiting to be seated for over 5 minutes with about 10 people total in the restaurant we decided to seat ourselves because and I quote the bartender "there's about to be a brawl in the kitchen". After taking the initiative, the old hag with purple hair threw our menus at us and walked away without saying a word. We ordered our food and it came out pretty quickly. The wings were only half covered in sauce and were hard as rocks oh and I forgot to mention we had to ask for silverware twice before getting up and grabbing it ourselves. The wait staff here is the worst I've ever seen. We didn't tip and I hope that she knows she was being a grade A c***. Anyways we went to rent bowling shoes next and the young lady working the counter said 'what do you want' when we walked up. Needless to say we just left without giving that sh**hole anymore money. If I ever return I plan on being rude back. This is the third awful experience I've had here in 2 weeks
We were part of a large group. The wait staff were wonderful, they were friendly, respectful and quickly responded to our requests. The food was very good with the best French Fries I have ever had. Great place for a family outing with good food and bowling available.
Great food. Service leaves a bit to be desired.
Worst experience ever and didn't even sit down to eat. We were there waiting for a table. We had called ahead for reservations but accidentally made reservations for the East Lansing restaurant instead. We were willing to wait but we're told it would be 45 minutes to an hour. The people that came in after us were told 25 minutes. We were still willing to wait. A few minutes later the hostess came up to us and said it probably would be better to drive to the east Lansing restaurant. They were backed up and too busy, that it basically would be better to leave. I did not feel as though they wanted to serve us. Disappointing.
This place has a cool collection of amenities. There's a bowling alley, lots of big screen televisions for sports, and a good menu. The service is friendly too.
Went there for lunch. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries. The fries were very good. Sandwich had ample meat and was good. Waitress checked on us often.
Reasonably nice and moderately priced. Things can get a little disorganized on the bowling side of the operation but the staff are very kind and generally attentive. I've joined their 12-week "Pizza & Beer" bowling league four times now and it's been a fun experience each time.
