This is one strange restaurant experience. The food is fresh. It is well prepared and presented. There are some unusual, even gourmet style touches to the breakfast & lunch only menu. And, there are off-menu daily specials. The service was prompt and friendly. Our food has always been excellent. We observed some of the staff working to clean the equipment... More

Sorry Golden Harvest, I love you. But I must say, the breakfast competitors in Lansing are gaining fast! Golden Harvest has awesome food, its a cool place to check out, but honestly its not worth waiting an hour outside to get in, then an hour once in to get food. If you have 3 hours to kill it is worth... More

I had heard so much about the Golden Harvest and was excited to try it. I'm all for supporting local places, but breakfast/brunch for me is all about leisure and savoring and sipping and enjoying conversation with friends, and this was NOT the place to find that! It's a tiny, loud, incredibly busy place where it's impossible not to bump... More

Do not head to Golden Harvest if: You want a fast breakfast You are looking for a quiet, uncrowded place to eat You just want an average, everyday, run-of-the-mill experience. Go to Golden Harvest (and go soon!) if: You are looking for an out-of-the-ordinary experience You don't mind waiting for a meal you won't find anywhere else You appreciate kitsch... More

A lot of my friends from lansing said this was the best place to get breakfast around, so now that I can drive, figure why not try it? Food was simple and seemed like it would be served at any denny's. Cool vibe to the place and the staff were nice but nothing special in my opinion.

Waiting outside in warmer weather is a must! Also, great way to meet new people to share a table with, to cut down on the wait! The S&M (Sausage and Mushroom) Eggs were great!

When I go to Golden Harvest, I usually get the same thing. I know that my eggs in my spinach omelet will be wonderful, the feta cheese with be flavor full and what ever else that accompanies it will be tasty. This time I decided to get something different. Eclectic on the menu... read the "BOARD". The board is amazing... More

Great food and a great value. But be ready for the atmosphere. Kind of quirky but - if you're ready for it - cool. Real small place so expect to wait.

This diner is a must if you are in Lansing. You WILL wait for a table for possible a long time. But the wait is worth it. As far as I know they are only open for breakfast and early lunch. The atmosphere inside isnt the best. The music was a little too loud. But I didnt care because of... More

Dirty hippies, LOUD music, good food. The atmosphere caters to - and attracts - a lower class group of people. All in all - not really worth the effort. Sorry.
