Nice atmosphere but the food quality and portions have really diminished with the price remaining the same. Ordered a salmon special and it looked like about 4 oz of fish with about 6 pieces of frozen veggies next to it for $14. The burgers look smaller too and the quality has really slacked off. Not going back.
Review Source:i had a server named Carley. She was a short blonde. She messed up our entire order, and her breath smelled of alcohol. This was my first time at Blue Gill, and I will not return in the future. I would not recommend this to anyone. The service was terrible, half of our order was never corrected, and no adjustments were made to our bill.
Review Source:The location alone gets The Blue Gill Grill and the Thirsty Perch (their rooftop bar) the most points. Â It is one of only a couple places in the Greater Lansing area with a view of water!
That being said, it could be a great place, but they are so good at just being mediocre. Â The menu is mostly fried bar food and the rooftop menu is separate and even more limited. Â Some of the servers are very nice, and others can be really unpleasant.
The Blackened Grouper Tacos are quite good. Â And the draft beer selection is decent. Â So we'll be back, since it's our neighborhood place, but I wish they would shift gears and move from mediocre to marvelous.
The food is decent, and its a nice place and all but the thing that makes this place better then all the other restaurants in michigan is the incredibly attractive hostesses. These hostesses are grade A dimes! no joke. They also always seat you at the perfect locations and are just extremely friendly. Worth going just to see them
Review Source:My view of this place went steadily downhill.
First, for a place named Blue Gill Grill, I've disliked any fish (including blue gill) that we ordered here. I considered this a small point at first (see below), but the more I thought about it, the more it annoyed me.
Second, they have half of the place set up to be more of a bar atmosphere, but they don't have any extra sports channels. We came here to watch a football game, and they didn't have it. It was a pretty big NFL game, too.
The service has also been much worse lately. It took us almost 30 minutes the last time we were here to get our beer.
Their sandwiches and some other things are decent, but on the whole, there are other places I would rather go to enjoy a beer and a game.
Great atmosphere and bar scene. Â Very average food. Good pricing. Â Good Service.
Really like the Blue Gill Grill for drinks and cocktails. Â The roof top bar is very cool. Â Great views of the park and the lake. Â TV's and bar make it a really neat place to enjoy a drink. Â The rest of the place it pretty cool as well. Â Nice bar. Â A little bit of everything.
The food is underwhelming. Â I guess for bar fare, it is not bad. Â But as a sit down restaurant seems to be nothing more than a Sysco/GFS style cousine.
Good service. Â Prices are very affordable.
Overall, fun place.
I enjoy going to Blue Gill. The servers are friendly (although often slowly-paced), the atmosphere is funny and cozy, and the new decor is fun. The menu, however, could use some revamping. I know its a bar but there could be some more items, other than salad, that aren't deep-fried. It is a difficult place to pick to eat when you are trying to be healthy.
Review Source:Still love their BBQ Chicken.. but I'm pretty convinced it's the only thing they have to offer me.
I've tried 3 or 4 new things in my recent visits, and it's all been pretty lame. The ingredients have been going down-hill. By ingredients I mean: anything fresh here.. is probably not fresh.
You guys are slipping.
The Blue Gill is great local hangout as well as if you're passing through. The burgers, pizza, calzones and salads are great! Service has always been great for me as well. Plenty of TV's to watch the game and many selections of brew to  drink with your dinner. I haven't sampled the fish but I've heard it's good.
Give it a try! I'm sure you'll be happy!
As befitting a place called the Blue Gill  Grill.. their fish is pretty good.  We enjoy the grouper sandwiches but I'd avoid the fried scallops.  Way too much fry, not a whole lotta scallops. Â
It's not off the beaten path for me, it's literally right around the corner. Â Their food is good, their servers are generally cute and eager to please. You won't get a home run meal here but you won't be disappointed either.
The chicken caesar wrap is delicious! Grilled chicken, lettuce, dressing, and parmesan cheese in a grilled wrap, yummy! I think they have specials every night of the week and the servers are always pleasant. I wish they would expand/change their menu every so often...and more fries/less coleslaw as side items.
Review Source:This was my dad's favorite place to take me out to eat during my time at Michigan State. It's a little off the beaten path, but the food is great and the service is timely. I've only been during the day, so I can't say I've experienced much of their bar, but I do know they have Killian's. The pizzas and nachos are especially delicious!
Review Source:a local favorite off the beaten path, across from the Lake Lansing Park in Haslett (corner of Lake Lansing and Marsh Rds).
decent prices, good service, friendly faces, older crowd, good food.
family oriented restaurant by day (which is when we visited), sports bar by night. Â they have probably seven large screen TVs and a few smaller ones around. Â They will change the channel for you if you ask (most places won't anymore), even if it is something funny like the cartoon network or TLC. haha.
they seem to have everything that everyone else does on the menu. their specials are off menu (they had a penne pasta on special when we visited, which was not something available on the normal menu). as you would expect, they lean towards the seafood section on their menu, but they have a large selection of sandwiches, grinders, burgers, and the like too. Â good stuff.
overall 4 stars.
This is a cut above your average "Local Yokal" sports bar. They have quite a few Tv's, large beers and their pizza is great. During the week, this place is full of families & sports watchers. On the weekend they try to be a bar with DJ, etc. Either way, it is one of the best options in the Haslett area as either a bar or a reataurant. If you are looking to escape the East Lansing scene, you might want to give it a try.
Review Source:Classier than your average sports bar, Blue Gill is consistently immaculate right down to the bathrooms. Â A substantial drive from MSU campus, it draws in the older, not-so-rough-around-the-edges clientele.
Blue Gill serves your typical snacky bar fare - nachos, pizza, chicken fingers, but also specializes in reasonably priced fish and seafood entrees. Â Â The full bar, with taps and amazing glass-enclosed bottled beer selection, appeals to all alcoholic palates. Â The friendly, competent service is much appreciated. Â
Its spacious location is divided into areas for dining booths, live music observation, rail, and bar games. Â The facility entertains with all of your favorite competitive sports from pool to darts to arcade. Â Play trivia against your friends and barmates with NTN. Â Hours of cheap fun.
My recommendation: Â
Pizza is incredible. Â I've always done the simple build-yer-own with pepperoni. Â Not skimping on the toppings, the little meat circles are crisp-edy, crunch-edy along the edges like they took the time to fry 'em up before pizza baking. Â Yum! Â Shuts the ravenous men up with its cheesy, spicy goodness in no time. Â Never fails.
