Harrison Roadhouse

A short walk from Brody Complex is the Harrison Roadhouse. Home of some delicious burgers and a wide selection of beer on tap. Every time I visit here, I cant help but clean my plate. It has a similar sports bar feel that Buffalo Wild Wings has but the atmosphere here is a little more comfortable and relaxed. Some easier listening 80's music was playing in the background and there wasn't anyone rowdy customers at the bar. On the average night, there may be several other groups of people there but I watched a Red Wings game here once and it was relatively empty. Around the restaurant, MSU football and basketball schedules are posterized, along with a bunch of really cool Michigan license plates. Several T.V.s hang around so you can watch more than one, usually sports program, at once.

The burgers here are the favorite, but the steaks are just as good. All sorts of toppings cover my picks and I will commonly ask for the ultimate cheeseburger with several types and flavors of cheese on top. Something about the french fries standout and accompany the juicy burgers just as well. The steak selection comes with some cheese covered potatoes with bacon. Anything with these two ingredients (bacon, and cheese) is going to taste amazing.

The prices are not that bad either, I was able to get a bill just under 30 dollars for ordering a steak and a burger. This may be pretty average but there are a lot of other places in the East Lansing area that would be over 40 dollars for these 2 selections. They like to accommodate college kids as well, with 3 and 4 dollar pints of light beer, and 6 and 7 dollar pints for darker brews. Cheaper beer and cheaper burgers are a college kids dream.

To me, this isn't just another sports bar, the theme fits perfectly in the MSU area. Sports banners hang from the ceiling of this more relaxed sports bar. Always a great place to go with always great food. The Harrison Roadhouse is always just a comfortable and solid pick for a place to eat.
