10 Best Patio Dining Places in Lansing According to Yelp

Warm weather has been awesome this week in the Lansing area. When the sun is out people like to dine out, outside that is. What are the 10 best patio dining places in the area according to Yelp?

I wrote an article about YOUR favorite outdoor dining/patio restaurants and bars. That article is based solely on your responses to me. Yelp has fun reviews and sometimes the results might be surprising.

What lures you to dine outdoors? Is it the food itself? Perhaps just the fresh air is what you need for a change of pace. I like patios a lot, a shady spot on a patio eating some wings sounds amazing right now. Whatever attracts you to eating outdoors, I am certain that you will find a restaurtant or establishment that fits your criteria.

On this list you will see some "fancier" dining places and some more laid back venues. A bonus for me when it comes to outdoor dining is having a waterview of some sort. A view of something cool is a bounus but not a deal breaker for me if the restaurant/business doesn't have one.

With spring finally here we hope that we can get a period of more than a few days of warmer weather, consistently. I am not whining about the weather forecast for Monday (yeah, snow). Spring is here and we know Mother Nature in Michigan can change her mind any time she wants. Check out these fun, outdoor places that are awesome for outdoor dining.
