★★★★☆ 4.0 Grant Fifield · Dec 2025

My girl and I went there for brunch. The breakfast bowls were just ok but the presentation was nice so Ill give a food critique this review. I had the Irish bowl with sprouts, egg, potato cakes, and corned beef. I ate the whole thing as the portion size was just right. There could have been more corned beef though as I didnt really taste it. My girl had the hippie bowl and it had no real flavor. The walnuts overwhelmed the dishes flavor, like a lot. This is fine if you want that specific taste, but my suggestion is to add some spices, even hot sauce didnt help the blandness... FYI too let you waitstaffer know what type of eggs you want or they come out dipping. I thought price was a little high for quality of food. You will have to park in a ramp as there is no real street parking... On

Came here with the wife for Valentines Day after not coming to beggars for 10 years and was instantly reminded why its so great! The atmosphere is good for either a date night or just a casual night hanging out with friends. The food was outstanding, and the playlist was perfect. Definitely will come back again soon. Dinner was so good, I'm excited to taste brunch!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jeff Thomas · Dec 2025

This place was ok. For the price, I felt the food and portions could have been better/bigger. With a name like Beggars Banquet we were a little hesitant but WOW - A Night at the Roxbury might be the best kept secret in this town. Whatever they put in that beer jam is FANTASTIC! Wife was impressed and the kids were happy. I wish the service had been more attentitive - empty glasses too long but overall not a bad experiewnce

★★★★★ 5.0 Rebekah Cathey · Jun 2024

All of the food was very good but the truffle fries were the best! I’ve tried a lot of truffle fries and these were hands down better than any others. Their Bloody Mary was also so delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly on both the salmon and cod dishes and the Mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful. I’ll be back for brunch soon.

★★★★★ 5.0 Meghanrose Shingle · Jan 2026

Beggars banquet is the best atmosphere for college students or anyone who lives in the area. The bartenders are so knowledgeable and are great at conversing with anyone at their bar, and the servers are exceptional!! It’s always a good place to grab brunch or any type of food you are in the mood for, it always hits the spot! Will forever be a go to place in East Lansing!
