LH Grille room: $4.51

September 4, 2003
A warm short-stack of pancakes can be had from LH Grille Room, 453 Ann St., for a mere $4.51 and also includes a large beverage, not shown.

LH Grille Room is the newest addition to the Lou & Harry's restaurant chain in East Lansing. Nestled back on Ann Street, the month-old restaurant dishes up sit-down service and large portions of fairly priced, quality food - especially breakfast.

The Food: Pancakes a la carte (two for $2.75) and a tall glass of skim milk ($1.50)

Total: $4.51 (including tax)

Place: LH Grille Room, 245 Ann St., (517) 853-8590

Hours: Breakfast served 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m. daily; Lunch/dinner served 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. -10 p.m. Friday and Saturday

Delivery: No delivery, but customers can call ahead for take-out.

Xtras: The pancakes came with butter and syrup. The moo juice came with, um, a straw. If you're feeling plucky, add home fries for $2.

Our thoughts: The sit-down service and prompt wait staff were nice changes from the fast-food joints typical of a college diet. The pancakes looked slightly naked on the plate but were delicious and proved to be worth their weight as they pulled the expand-in-your-stomach trick that pancakes do so well.
