Lu & Carl's (Brighton, MI)

Lu & Carl's is a bar/restaurant on the corner of Grand River and Main St in downtown Brighton. Great location, plenty of parking, eay walk to the pond, markets, shops, etc. The bar itself is top notch - it's shaped like a square - so there are 20+ seats at the bar and great people watching. It's a decent place to watch a game. The beer is a tad expensive for the atmosphere, but still it's usually a simple, solid option. There are tables and booths inside as well.

We had lunch outside at Lu & Carl's earlier in the week. The served apparently wasn't that excited to serve us outside, so we didn't feel as welcomed as we'd hoped, but the food was fine. We all had flats, which are a Lu & Carl's staple - basically sandwiches with a twist. We had the veggie flat, a BBQ chicken flat, and a spicy chicken flat. Everyone finished their sandwiches. The prices are a bit high, and Lu & Carl's is one of those annoying places that charge extra to get fries with your meal. Usually they just give you plain tortilla chips. The fries are $2 extra, so each flat w/ fries is usually $10 - which is a bit steep for this place.

Overall, we are fans of Lu & Carl's, but feel that it's a better option to grab a drink or hit Happy Hour.
