I like to stop by this shop every once in a while to check out the selection and see if I can find a good deal or a particular item I need. They have the usual dollar store selection, with a mix of great buys and cheap junk. The store has always been clean and well-organized. They don't seem to be associated with a particular dollar store chain, but I could be mistaken. They do sell a few items that cost more than a dollar, but they're clearly labeled and displayed in a particular section.

I've had mixed results during my several visits to this restaurant. I've been there a few times when the service was slow to the point of being ridiculous, but other times it's been perfectly fine. I've also had several delicious meals there, but another time, I ordered a garlic breadstick appetizer that turned out to be a tasteless lump of dough. I still like to go there every once in a while, but it's not my first choice. There's also a downstairs bar if you're interested in that sort of thing, but I've never been there.

I forget the exact title, but Bonnie's has been designated "Top Burger in Lansing" for the past several years, and they've earn that reputation. They have a full page in their menu devoted to different types of burgers. I love their pizza burger, and my husband always orders the Bonnie Burger which is mainly unique for its ham topping. Service has always been good. It is a bar, so even the non-smoking section is a bit dark and smoky.

While they're a steakhouse at heart, you can find many other items on their menu like a selection of Mexican food, seafood, pasta and sandwiches. There are daily specials if you like to look for a deal. Their food has always been great. It's a bit more expensive than other restaurants in town, but it makes up for it in quality. I've always gotten good service at the restaurant, and it's usually not too crowded unless you show up at an especially peak time. They also offer a full bar in a separate area that doubles as the smoking section.

As their name suggests, Mancino's specializes in pizzas and grinders, but they also offer several pasta choices. The portions are large, the prices are reasonable, and the food is always great. You order at the counter, and can get take-out or stay and eat in the restaurant. They'll deliver the food to your table, but otherwise, it's a self-serve kind of place. Look for coupons every week in papers like the St. Johns Reminder and Clinton County News for even better deals.

Mitchell's is a high-quality seafood restaurant perfect for a nice dinner. The quality of the food really came through in little details, like the sea salt on the baked potatoes or the careful presentation of dessert. The service was great and the overall atmosphere was perfect for an upscale feel without seeming stuffy. Be warned that they don't offer as many non-seafood options as some other seafood restaurants for the pickier eaters in your party. Conveniently located in the Eastwood Towne Center shopping complex less than a mile from US-127.

NCG Eastwood Cinemas is setting a new standard for movie theaters. The theater seats are possibly the most comfortable around. Popcorn and drinks are expensive just like at any movie theater, but here you can get free refills to make your money go farther. They offer the most popular movies and the newest releases while still sometimes opening up a theater for a smart independent or foreign film. Its convenient location in the Eastwood Towne Center shopping complex make it the perfect setting for a dinner and a movie, or a movie and some shopping, or just a whole day of entertainment. The facade of the building and overall facilities are great, partly because the theater is so new, but I have faith in the management company to keep the theater looking like new and to continue to offer a quality service.

The Wheel Inn is quite possibly the one place that everyone in St. Johns eats. The menu offers breakfast, lunch and dinner options at any time with a good variety of both meals and snacks/desserts. The quality of food is all over the map, though. For instance, I think that their chicken fingers dinner merits five stars, whereas my husband once ordered a steak that was more of a two star affair. Salads are a bit skimpy, but then this is a place you go for comfort food rather than a diet plate. The rolls they offer with dinners or for sale individually are great, and the warm cinnamon roll is a little-known breakfast treat that's big enough for two. They offer breakfast
The city of St. Johns shuts down for the night early, but The Wheel Inn is the rare place open 24 hours a day, all but a few holidays a year. So if you decide to give in to your late night cravings between midnight and 2 a.m. on Friday or Saturday expect long waits and noisy diners. But the waitresses do the best they can in situations like that, and most other times the service is great.
The decor used to be stuck in the 70s, but some recent remodeling looks to be sprucing the place up a bit.

If you've been in any other Meijer store, this one doesn't really offer any surprises, although it is a smaller store design than some.
If you go at the busiest times of the day, you'll often face long lines and bare shelves. It seems that the store can't always handle the large volume of shoppers that it receives. But employees are generally helpful and the store is a pleasant place to be overall.
If you're unfamiliar with the Meijer concept, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its mix of grocery, health & beauty, clothing and other general merchandise items.
Meijer also offers many great sales. Especially look out for some of their "Super Saturday" promotions where you might get two liters of pop for fifty cents or buy one, get two free lunch meats.

The Meijer shoe repair service offers convenient assistance for any shoe needs. The shoe repair area is located at the front of the store, near one of the entrances, so if you don't want to do any other shopping, it's possible to stop in quickly.
The employees are helpful and can take care of most minor shoe problems and some major ones. Whatever the problem, you can know that they'll do whatever they can to try to fix it.
The shoe repair area also offers a display of shoe-related items like a large selection of replacement shoelaces and assorted foot creams and powders.
The only downside to the Meijer shoe repair area is that despite being located in a store that's open 24 hours a day, it closes fairly early in the evening.
