May 30, 2026"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!"

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."

Mar 13, 2026"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!"

I assure you, they make not just the best burger in Lansing, but by far the best burger I’ve ever had in my life. Order a double cheeseburger with everything on it and a side of fries and come back to this comment and thank me after your life has been changed for the better."
