Menna’s Joint

Stopped here to grab a quick bite to eat while I was in town. I was very happy with my food and service was quick!

It’s funny that basically all the times I’ve come here is during late-​night hours whether dining in or carrying out. I came here with a good friend a few nights ago for the first time as an alumni. The wraps here are on steroids and they sell dubs (big wraps) and dubbies (smaller wraps) I’ve only had the loaded dub and pizza dub before as a student so this night wasn’t any different. One pizza dub ($ 7.25) and a medium fountain drink ($ 1.75). The pizza dub is definitely a lot oilier than I remember owing to the pepperoni in particular. It’s got most of the toppings in a supreme pizza in this wrap. Anyone who doesn’t understand the play on the name is that is a very hipster/​countercultureesque chain. Lots of cool décor if you’re into that stuff.
Since I only have been coming here in the wee hours of the night (yes, they’re open late), I can’t really assess other aspects of their service. We were the only ones there at the time. Pretty simple setup overall but the food was typical of Menna’s a large quantity of food for their price.

Today was my first time ordering from Menna’s. I had heard good things about it from colleagues. It has now been an hour and a half and our food still has not arrived. I called 30 minutes ago and the manager told me the driver was on his way with the food. I just called back and the person said they’re waiting for a driver to show up. The manager lied to me. Not sure I will ever order from here again.

I ordered delivery. It took a little longer than predicted, but the dubs were delicious

During my freshman year (2011) this place was always on point. I actually would order from here 5 – 6 times a month. However time has not been kind to the quality of their food. Every year since I have seen a steady decline in service, delivery time, and taste. Not sure if there was a management or ownership change but it was stark and noticeable. I have had every menu item and just about all of them were above average to superb. However, now I’d rather just go to Conrads.

Terrible customer service, called back after 40 mins and they told me it would be an additional 40 mins and my food never came. When calling back to ask why they ignored my phone call. Disgraceful customer service

Ordered online. It was quick n easy. Delivery time was estimated at 45 minutes which was pretty standard but didn’t get my new for over and hour. They made good on it though by calling and brining me free cookies. I’ve always had great food and great service from Mennas!

Slow service. I was the only one in the place on a Sunday afternoon (9÷1÷2013). There were four employees wandering around but it took them a few minutes to take my order. Then I watched a guy cook a sandwich for 6 or 7 minutes which I thought was mine. But Nope. The guy put the sandwich in a bag and walked out. I don’t know if the guy was making a delivery or just going home to eat it himself. I suspect eat it himself (and ignore customers) because why would the cook also make deliveries? Finally, after he left, only then did another guy start cooking my sandwich. 6 or 7 minutes later I finally had it in my hands. If I wanted to wait 15 minutes and get ignored I would have gone to a sit down joint — not this place.

Just ordered from Menna’s. Not only did it take nearly an hour (51 minutes) to be delivered, the delivery driver just called me and asked how to get to my apartment. After telling her where to go, she told us «I’m not going up to your apartment. You have to meet me in the lobby.» Um what? So glad I had already tipped her generously… never again!

I think it was the worst thing I have ever ate in Lansing. I had some sort of burrito concoction with a ton of potatoes, sour cream and cheese. I couldn’t finish it.

I always drive out of my way when passing anywhere close to EL to grab a dub. Tons of variety to find one you like. They are big and by no means very healthy, but perfect for that late night craving.

I really like Menna’s. Their dubs, which is a grilled wrap are very good. I get the Buffalo dub whenever I order and it is always great. This used to be my favorite place to get a wrap in East Lansing. That designation now goes to Conrad’s. Conrad’s wraps are much better and much fuller. That being said, Menna’s is till a very good restaurant that anyone living or visiting East Lansing should consider visiting. I would recommend getting delivery or just pick it up. The seating is nothing special, just a few tables and chairs. Its much better to enjoy your dub at home with your friends reminiscing about the night you just had. Menna’s is one of the best foods to solve your drunken munchies. If you can’t make it to Conrad’s I would get Menna’s, a close second for my best wrap (dub) in EL.

I am really going to miss this place when my sister graduates in a few weeks. I’ve been visiting her at MSU probably 3 times a year for the past 4 years. It’s safe to say that for 10 of my 12 visits, we’ve either ordered delivery from Menna’s or gone over there to eat. I always get the buffalo chicken dub and it is always hot and delicious. There have been a few times where I’ve woken up in the morning, waited for them to open, and ordered «breakfast» because my dinner there the night before was so good.
Is there anything I can say to convince Menna’s Joint to open a branch in the Chicagoland area?

I had to stop at this Mennas before my trip out of EL. It was not a wasted trip. My CT dub was as delicious as I remember it from my college days — although the dubs have shrunk a bit and their new menu confuses me.

Menna’s Joint is badass. Their «dubs» are basically American burritos… cheap and tasty. Also, they’ll sell you 3 cookies for $ 1, which is totally awesome. I recommend the Master Dub or the Loaded Dub.
You don’t need to be wasted to enjoy Menna’s… Its great all the time.

The first time was after a long night of drinking and coming from Rick’s. I do remember ordering the food and eating it, however, I didn’t not remember how it tasted the next day. I do remember enjoying it at least. I was told that I preferred the Pizza Dub over the Master Dub.
Later that week, I went there for lunch/​late breakfast and ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Dub. Being sober, I finally got to enjoy the taste of a dub. It’s a fine heart attack wrapped and grilled. I did also get to try the Master Dub again with my actual senses and it was a lot better than the Philly Dub. And also I’ve noticed that their secret is in the qualith of their wrap. After putting it on heat, it creates a thin crust that really makes a dub truly a «dub.»
For $ 6.25, I would love having a dub after a long night of drinking. I’m not sure if there would be anything else I’d want.

Yummy! The dubs are so good! They’re like an entire meal wrapped in flatbread! I had a chicken parm dub and my boyfriend had the master dub, both were amazing!

Menna’s is just what I {think} I want after an evening of debauchery in East Lansing. But, it’s usually a mistake for a plethora of reasons.
I’m not usually this crass, but I feel the warning is necessary. Basically, if you want to spend a good portion of the following morning in the bathroom, in pain, then you should eat here. You’d think i would live and learn but I found myself in said predicament AGAIN this morning. Don’t do it!

I miss Menna’s. This is the original location, and I wish I would have taken advantage of Menna’s a lot more while I lived in Hubbard Hall! There’s nothing like a CT (chicken tenders) dub with honey mustard! The MJ Special is also quite delish. The dubs are cheap, fast, and warm. Snatch up a dub on the way home from the bar and it will make your walk home much more enjoyable (although, the other location on Albert Street is probably better for that).

Oh how I miss Menna’s… not the cheapest place to grab a bite, as fries & such cost extra, but the «dub» (huge burrito-​esque sandwich) is plenty big enough to satisfy my appetite. I love going here on game days — portable food so you can chow down and wander the tailgate scene simultaneously.
My fav order: the Loaded Dub (bacon, cheddar, mozzarella, potato, ranch, and sour cream) — deeeelish.
