Lot G opened later this year in October. It’s a new restaurant in Ypsilanti that focuses on uplifting the community.
Lot G, home of JS lemonade and Who’s Cooking, opened its doors at 20 N. Washington Street in October.
Lot G is a family-owned and operated restaurant that features the community heavily.
“Lot G Home is our tagline,“ Alycia Robinson, operator of Lot G, said. "We wanted to create a place that felt like home for people."
Lot G found JS Lemonade, a small local business, and knew that they had to market it, Robinson said. Alycia Spencer created JS Lemonade, which is named after her two sons John and Steven who help her run it. They formed a partnership, and when Lot G opened their new space, they invited JS Lemonade to come with them.
JS Lemonade operates out of Lot G and offers many unique flavors, including lemon, nectarine, mango, blueberry, strawberry, and pineapple.
Who’s Cooking is a brainchild of Lot G and gives space for chefs of all calibers to showcase their crafts. Chefs are able to rent out Lot G and host their own restaurant for a day. Lot G provides the rental space, a full kitchen, and a cashier: everything to get the true restaurant experience.
“Lot G’s main focus is the community,” Robinson said. “If one person wins, we all win”.
Some of Lot G’s feature items include chicken sandwiches, smoked brisket sandwiches, Lot G’s BYOB (build your own burger), as well as homemade sweets. Lot G also offers breakfast and lunch, and breakfast runs daily from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Breakfast items range from omelets to chicken and waffles.
Lot G adds new things to the menu every month, to keep up with their additions you can follow them on their social media.
“Lot G is a place where you could get good food and good vibes,“ Robinson said. “It’s a space for everyone."
