Lockdown At Daniel's

The food served at Daniel's Bar-B-Q is very good. Yet a recent lunch at the Lansing restaurant felt like a visit to the break room of one of the area's nearby correctional facilities. It might be the Western illustrations on the wall, highlighted by an image of John Wayne. It might be the lack of background music. Every slurp from a customer and curse from the kitchen reverberates through the small room. Even so, the fare- highlighted by a fine Bryant's-style sauce- renders the institutional vibe irrelevant.
