Seems like a buy life has left BBQ's to fend for themselves. I took advantage of the weekend to try a burger at a place that has been knocking for a while. Tripper's Sports Bar in Lansing has a good selection of burgs and beers.I have been here quite a few times and for some reason always gotten the nachos. Those are good to. Trippers is a big place with many large rooms kind of an open feeling but separate enough that there can be a plethora of activities happening without one spilling to another. It is a true sports bar around the bar proper with more TV's than a guy could pay attention to, my head was swiveling!A ton of beers on the menu, I went with the 'ol stand by Miller Lite 22oz for $.48 since I was the driver. Choosing the meal was tough. There were tons of options, some with pulled pork or jalapenos, and others that were more classic but loaded down. As is my unwritten rule I went with the egg anytime I can get an egg on my food I go for it. The Top 'o the Morning was for me. It is two patties, bacon 'Murican cheese, and a fried egg served up on some buttery Texas toast.

All of the burgers can be made single, double, or triple. I just left mine the way it came as a double. At $10.39, it is a little costly but it did come with chips!
Service on the other hand.... I frequent out A LOT, I don't really ask for much, keep the drink handy and just do regular things. For example, when you only have people t on table in our section, don't take a solid ten minutes to show up. If a guy orders a burger, don't make him have to ask for the condiments. We had a nice server, when she was there. Maybe these are just my little quirks when it comes to service, but hell, I have never worked that industry
Yesterday was the first time i had really been to trippers other times were a walk in walk out to busy to wait type deal. We had to wait a little bit to be seated due to the greeter not being around. Once we got seated the service got way better! Our waiter was fast, knowledgeable, and friendly. He told us what specials there were and highly recommended a new item on the menu called Spicy Cheesy Rangoon. Which we really enjoyed! Suggesting new items and knowing how they taste is huge in my book. A+ to this kid! Fast with bringing another beverage before we finished so there was no wait. Honestly a great service. I will be called a manger to let them know what good service this kid gave us. He deserves recognition!
Review Source:I've only been a handlful of times...
each time I leave with a little buzz and a smile on my face. It's a good time at Trippers and I have met plenty of people from hanging out at this joint! There is TONS to do (billiards,darts, poker) and good bar food. I recommend the queso dip. Â And with that, I say check it out! you always leave with a good memory to keep!
This place is kind of a cluster-fork, but I always have a good time.
The main dining/bar area is full of large and elongated tables, and you often end up sitting right next to a drunk international MSU student who you don't know or reconnecting with your current boyfriend's ex-girlfriend who can't find any where else to sit. Honestly, it kind of works! The service is actually good despite how busy and odd the seating is, but the place can get messy, and I've had the waitresses practically toss drinks at me because they have so much to balance at once and people hollering at them for more.
The main draw for Tripper's is the HUGE poker room. It's a great spot for groups, but be sure you know how to play some kind of poker before taking a seat. It's not a written rule, but you'll be sitting with a bunch of drunk experienced players who don't want to wait for you to figure things out. Other than that, it's pretty neat-o. LADIES, PLEASE NOTE: the poker room is about 99% male every time I go... some times, it can be uncomfortable, so come with girlfriends.
TIP: The teriyaki wings are out of this world. So craveable, and seriously recommended!
3.5 stars
This review is for a private party in the back area. For $40, each person got food, 3 drinks, and a dj. I thought it was going to be appetizers for some reason but it ended up being good old comfort food - bbq chicken, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, etc. That's the kind of food I want in my stomach when I'm going to be drinking a lot. They even gave us to-go boxes at the end of the night to take the leftovers home.
And the best part? It wasn't just bar liquor in the drinks, top shelf stuff was included (and maybe I didn't find this out until after my first drink but hey...). There were two waitresses and the one who I used was excellent. She remembered what I was drinking, was prompt, and didn't seem annoyed by drunk people.
Did I mention this party was for my high school reunion? Why is it that djs think they have to play music from that era? Really, it's okay to play current music. But, my requests were played quickly so I'm 90% over it.
The rest of Tripper's? Not really my scene. I would rather venture over to East Lansing to go out.
Part bar, part restaurant, it's all good.
They have a poker room (wtf!?), a pool (billiards) room, a bar room, and a regular restaurant table room.
Standard bar fare (food) is to be expected, and is delivered here.
service is hit or miss, depending on who you get.
prices are decent, specials are common, food quality is average.
sports bar themed.
4 stars.
