Rick's American Cafe — Restaurant in East Lansing

Rick's is one of the very very few, if not ONLY places in all of lansing to go out for the night and dance. I don't typically go out often but after waiting for over an hour and half to get in we got one drink that was the first drink that was too disgusting to finish I've ever had. Im 23 years old.
