One of the oldest and last remaining drive-ins in the Lansing, Michigan area! Nip N Sip has a little something for everyone, serving up hot, fresh, well prepared comfort foods! Easily seen from the roadside with an easy in and easy out option! Staff is fast and friendly! Come to Nip N Sip and see what makes this drive-in so special!

Been a staple in Lansing for many years. Cash only drive-in. The coneys are awesome. Detroit style with a unique flavor. I also had the double burger which was great. I will definitely be back soon. Service was quick and my food came out steaming hot.

Favorite spot for so many options. Most recently had a chocolate malt on a sunny spring day. Perfect treat to enjoy the sun showing up in mid-Michigan!

Always love going this local Lansing drive in! The food is fresh and fast, and the service is always prompt. Definitely have to try the Double Burger, or their Olive Burger. Fantastic.

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 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’ve liked Nip N Sip since going to school nearby. They have delicious Boston Coolers at good prices, and I’d recommend them just for that. They have a decent menu and prices, but make sure you confirm their hours before you go; they’re closed on weekends. If you haven’t had a Boston Cooler before, definitely give one a try here.
