    "The Goat" is on the way to E. Lansing where the BF's parents live and I've been wanting to explore places in between there and our homebase for awhile now. Of course, I had to swing by to see what lay beyond the name (and I imagine it's probably 1/2 the reason why they get new customers). This is no T.G.I.Friday's. It's pretty much your standard, dark, small town bar on the inside. So much so a bar that I can't imagine bringing a kid here to eat (like a previous review did) without feeling like a bad parent. Perhaps only WAY early in the afternoon when there are just a handle of people in attendance like when we went. Mostly an older crowd (40's-60's). It was definitely cool to see the stuffed, encased head+ of The Goat up on the wall watching over the place. I noted a jukebox and a singular pool table towards the back. There were about 5 or 6 tables to the front right across from the bar. They had the door open to let some air and sunlight in and it was still pretty dark inside. I think it would be a scary endeavor to get drunk and attempt to pick someone up here when the sun goes down. There were about 6 beers on tap. Mostly of standard stuff with 2 mug size options. I got the bigger tall or Brutus-sized Summer Shandy ($4.25). It was a lot of beer and I wondered if I would be able to finish the whole thing. Good thing I am a drinking professional at this point. :-) BF had a Coke (free refills) and fries and I went with the Bacon Cheeseburger ($5.25) loaded with lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion (a flat extra $.50 for toppings). I chose Swiss cheese and upgraded the chips the burger comes with to the premium side of french fries and coleslaw (+$1.50). I should've stuck with the chips. The BF's order of just fries was plentiful. Although, he and I agreed that the fries, while hot and thick, did not have much taste at all. At one point I thought I dumped too much salt on them and it still wasn't enough. I ate most of mine though because I arrived insanely hungry. The coleslaw was just okay. The burger, however, was a solid B or B+. Although the toppings were slopped on, and there was quite the hunk of slice onion on there, it was a large 1/3 lb., well-seasoned piece of beef that was juicy and quite good. I was actually thinking about how nice it would be to have another one the very next day. Always a good sign. Our bill after tax and before tip was $16.59. Credit cards are accepted. The barmaid was marginally friendly and provided decent service. I think she was the one doing the cooking too as I believe the cook top was in the bar area and there was no one else but her manning the place. There were about 4 TV's by the bar/table area and women's soccer was on every single one. None of the other patrons looked like soccer fans in the least so that was a little weird. Side note: The Goat is easily accessible from the I-96/Fowlerville exit. However, when trying to get back onto I-96 follow the direction of the FIRST white/black sign (if heading west) that says "Truck Route". Otherwise, when you hit the next official I-96/Truck Route signs, they're going to direct right back into town from where you started from a side road. That was pretty flipping annoying. I will definitely be back to The Goat for another burger and to sit a spell for a beer or three. I may even walk the buzz off by checking out their tiny downtown area. I saw some signs announcing a big annual fair coming up later this month as well as a tractor-pull in August and soybean festival in September, if any of those types of things float your boat. If they do, just don't forget to swing by The Goat while you're in town.

    Bloated Goat is a true classic. I am writing this review to honor my beloved Michigan State Spartans (Class of '85, 8 goalposts under my belt in post-game riots during my career) Anyway- first and only time I was at the Goat was with my brother in law Philsta, who flew out to Michigan from California with me to see the annual grudge match between Sparty and the Wolverines. In fact- it was like fifteen years ago when both teams were ranked and undefeated- just like now.... Anyhow- it's around 7am, and we are travel weary- yet the 70+ year old cigarrette smoking bartender yells at us, "You flew all the way out here to see the game? WELL GET FIRED UP!" So, of course, we ordered shots and beers and got our game faces on. Epic dive bar of legendary proportions, still referred to by my kinfolk today. I insist that you visit the Bloated Goat whenever you are road tripping in to East Lansing for a game. Oh yeah, and GO STATE!

    Beautiful night for a cycle ride so we decided to do a short trip before the predicted rain storm hit. Ended up at the Bloated Goat. Before we even got in the door, another patron came out to have a smoke & we starting talking cycles. Friendly place even before you walk through the door. Sat at the bar near the cook area & ordered burgers & fries. Nothing fancy but the meat was cooked exactly as we ordered them and juicy beyond belief. Fries could have been a bit browner but they tasted good & were piping hot. If you are looking for a casual place with great burgers, visit the Goat. Don't expect girls dressed in bikinis just good 'ole fashioned bar ladies who have been doing this for years. They work hard yet are friendly & the prices are extremely reasonable. For burgers, fries & 4 mixed drinks, our bill was $ 30.00 + change. Yes, we will be going back & try their grilled ham & cheese which we saw the cook make. It looked scrumptious.

    Took a stop on a whim due to the intriguing name. Three of us each had a sandwich and two summer shandy's for $13 a piece. Grill is out front and in the open which can be deterring at first. However food was very pleasing as well as quick and friendly service. Started our road trip out on the right foot.

    I am a Spartan! Every once in a while, I would skip the highway and opt for the scenic route to MSU along Grand River Ave. I would always pass by two little hole in the wall divey bars, that I yearned to check out....The Bloated Goat and The Shady Lady....with genius names like that you had me! Sadly, I missed the boat on The Shady Lady, as they have closed their doors. I did, however, get to check out the Goat! And yes, there is a goat mounted on the wall! This is your typical goat themed bar, you know every town has one...just kidding! It is your typical small town bar, dimly lit, sports on the boob tube, cheap beer, mixed drinks, jukebox and bar food....I think every Spartan should check it out!

    If you have ever been to Fowlerville you will quickly realize that there's about 2 options if you want to grab food and a beer. I went to the Goat with 2 kids and 3 other adults for burgers and beer. Burgers are frozen, cooked on a flat top, and seasoned great. Food, in general, is cheap. Great place to hang out with friends and play some pool, darts, vids, or even watch the game. Looks like there are relatively new flat screens which we enjoyed watching a Tigers win on. This is a dive bar and the lighting is a bit dim for my liking. Everyone enjoyed their food as you should for a 2 bar town. I will be back for sure!
