Nip N Sip is a Lansing Classic! First and most importantly, CASH ONLY, so make sure you’re prepared before you stop by. This is a true old-school drive-in experience where you order from a speaker next to your car, and they bring the food right out to you. The menu isn’t huge, but it’s got something for everyone, and the prices are fantastic! We stopped by for lunch, and the place was packed—only one or two open parking spots. There’s no indoor seating, so you either eat in your car or grab it to go. My wife ordered a corn dog, hot dog, and fries, while I went for the Turkey Sub and fries. Our order was out in no more than five minutes, which was impressive with how busy they were. The food comes in a bag, not on a tray like some drive-ins, but that didn’t matter because everything was delicious and a great value for the price. Overall, a nostalgic, no-frills spot with great food, fast service, and unbeatable prices. Highly recommend if you're in Lansing!

The atmosphere is in whatever vehicle you arrive in! LoL! I have been coming here for over 60 years! 😱 I'm old. But the food is just as good as it was when Grama and Grapa Smith brought us here to have Root beer floats and an enormous bag of French fries. We would get food and drive over to the West side of the airport to watch planes landing. We thought we had it pretty darn good sitting just off the road and feeling the ginormous planes coming in over our heads. Small town theater with live action, smellavision and surround sound vibrations. 1960s all 4 of us could eat for under $12. It's still the best deal around.

I have heard so many times how incredible nip n sip is. I thought the burger was really good and the onion rings were pretty good but didn't have much flavor. My husband loved his chocolate shake, chili fries and double burger. I also ordered jalapeno poppers but didn't get to end up eating them. I asked for extra ranch but only got 1. Overall it was pretty good but nothing that I would go out of my way to go to again. Although I would like to try those jalapeno poppers cuz they were big and looked delicious! The price did end up being pretty decent though, I will say that!

So after several stops over the last 3-4 years, I was finally successful in getting onion rings. (They were never available in my previous attempts). I also ordered the double burger with chili. While I thought the burger itself was very good, the small dab of chili was just okay. Overall everything was good but not the best, as the winner of the best onion rings in the Lansing area still belongs to their rival, a few miles away.

Always good. Building is old and run down, for potential customers it might be a discouraging looking place but once they taste the food they will come back. Place doesn't seem to suffer from lack of customers since it's so busy. Prices are great. They seem to only hire really attractive wait staff from what I've seen so far. A+ food.

I’ve liked Nip N Sip since going to school nearby. They have delicious Boston Coolers at good prices, and I’d recommend them just for that. They have a decent menu and prices, but make sure you confirm their hours before you go; they’re closed on weekends. If you haven’t had a Boston Cooler before, definitely give one a try here.
