Southern home-cooked fare, a country music atmosphere and live music from area bands set the stage for one of Lansing's newest dining attractions as
Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill comes to Delta Township this fall.
The
Lansing Mall announced March 18
th that the venue named for the 2003 hit single "I Love This Bar" will occupy an 18,000-square foot space now under construction near the Regal Cinemas.
Vice President of Marketing Melissa Heanue of Rouse Properties, which owns the Lansing Mall, believes the energetic and entertaining blend of music and food will make for a great lunch or night out. She says the Toby Keith's "new home" will add to the already high-profile lineup of Lansing Mall dining options that include the newly opened
Longhorn Steakhouse and the upcoming Nestle Toll House Café.
"This is a unique destination tenant that enhances both our dining and entertainment offering," says Heanue in a prepared statement. "We believe it will serve as major attraction within the Greater Lansing area."
The restaurant will feature an 85-foot full-service bar in the shape of guitar, a stage for live entertainment, a dance floor, a glass-enclosed VIP room, two indoor 'barns" for private parties and corporate events. Notable menu items include pulled-pork sandwiches, meatloaf, fried bologna sandwiches and Southern fried Twinkies.
Toby Keith's boasts 15 U.S. locations, with five coming soon. The Lansing location will be the second in Michigan behind Auburn Hills.
