    As soon as I walked in, I looked at my girlfriend in awe. Bowdies is absolutely beautiful. The way its decorated makes it feel almost home-like with comfortable energy, and the whole place smelt amazing. The service was fantastic, and the cook came to ask how everything was, he was a really cool guy. Everybody in there was so nice, and they played really good music, i loved the vibe. THE FOOD… The food was so good. The stake melted in my mouth, the lobster mac had an amazing creamy essence to it, and there sauces are delicious. The only thing im mad about when i think back to going, is not getting more food. Bowdies Chophouse in lansing is definitely a place worth going too, I would recommend it to anyone.

    We were on upper level and were very pleased. Our server was very helpful and pleasant. The strip steak and the prime rib were both very good.

    The chicken sandwich was like no other chicken sandwich I've ever had. The combination of a classic chicken sandwich with an Asian twist was amazing. Best chicken sandwich I've ever had!

    I love Zola but it is so loud and people packed into the space. Wish they would fix both of those annoyances but then again others may like the energy.
