One North Kitchen & Bar Opens East Lansing Location

2024 seemed to be a year filled with restaurant openings all over the greater Lansing area, with over 20 of them opening.

And it seems that another restaurant was able to open its doors before we rang in the New Year of 2025.

The East Lansing location opened in 2024, but just under the wire; on December 30th.

One North took over the old Reno's East location, which closed at the end of June 2024. Since then, One North has been making some changes to call it home.

Even though there are some changes, one thing is staying the same: that location will be home to the Coaches Shows for Michigan State University coaches.

In addition to being a great place to watch the game, I'm greatly looking forward to their brunch buffet.

They have a mean brunch buffet on Sundays from 10 am to 2 pm, and they serve everything from your traditional brunch foods; think eggs, bacon, waffles, etc. to less traditional brunch foods, like gumbo and breakfast pizza.

One North isn't the only restaurant that opened in East Lansing recently. The Morning Post opened in December as well. Check out that and other restaurants that opened in 2024, HERE.
