The Carter's is a Brand New Soul Food Restaurant in Lansing

It's always a good thing when we have a new restaurant to add to the Lansing foodie scene, especially one that is apparently very delicious.

Have you been to the Lansing Mall recently? I know that the mall looks a lot different than it used to... perhaps more stores empty than you remember. However, there is a delicious bright spot within it's walls, and it's a brand new eatery.

New Restaurant Open in Lansing

One of the latest restaurants to join the Lansing foodie scene, and the brand new spot open in the Lansing Mall, is The Carter's.

The Carter's is a soul food restaurant, serving up all the soul food staples,

rib tips
chicken wings
catfish
sausages
mac-n-cheese
collard greens
fried okra
corn bread
and so much more...

Here's the thing, this place must be super yummy, because they just had their grand opening on March 16th, and multiple times since then, they've had to put out the warning on Facebook that they sold out of food early. People are going crazy over the sauces, too.

If you're looking to try out some soul food (and dessert too, if you leave room) The Carter's is located in the food court of the Lansing Mall. They are closed Mondays and Thursdays, otherwise they are open 11 am to 7 pm on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday; Wednesdays from 11 am to 6 pm; and Sundays from 12 pm to 7 pm.

The Carter's isn't the only place for soul food in Lansing.

4 Tha Soul Restaurant is located at 5920 S Cedar St in Lansing, open Tuesday through Sunday. And, Gregory's Soul Food is located at 2510 N Martin Luther King Jr Blvd in Lansing, open Monday through Saturday.
