Flat Rock Michigan is one of those great American small towns. With less than 10,000 residents everyone feels like family, the big news is always about High School sports, someone is always willing to help, and smiles come easy.

Small towns are also great places to find awesome food--Flat Rock, Michigan is no exception...

Big Bear Lodge

There's nothing quit like Big Bear Lodge in all of Southeast Michigan. Walking in feels like being transported up North or into the hunting lodge you wish you had in the UP (Upper Peninsula for non-Michiganders). There's always a roaring wood fire--that's where they cook your food--to accompany the rustic look of camp. Add to that the smell of fresh game and you have a truly unique dining experience.

Where else can you get Buffalo Meatloaf, Fresh Salmon, and Elk Burgers?

Kate's Kitchen

Famous for her pies, Kate's Kitchen looks and smells like your Grandma's kitchen. This little dinner is tucked in along the Huron River and right next to the beautiful Huroc Park.

It's not a big place, but they'll always find a way to accommodate you for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And don't forget to bring home a fresh pie--or you will have missed half the experience.

Julio's Mexican Grille

This little Mexican Grille is no Taco Bell. You'll find fresh ingredients and authentic spices that will confirm it's the real deal. With the recent opening of this Mexican restaurant Downriver there is no more need to make the drive all the way to Mexican Town (in Detroit) to get great Mexican food in Michigan.

Bashar's Middle Eastern & American Cuisine

Looking for something exotic and very International? Try Bashar's. Again, our little town of Flat Rock has all the cuisine choices you could possibly want. Grab you Falafel, Shawarma, and Hummus with no need to trek to Dearborn, Michigan.

Not a fan of Middle Eastern food? They've got a great breakfast special and Coney dog for the American-only palette.

Tasty Boy Donuts

Want donuts? Real donuts? These folks do it the old fashion way--they're up early. This is a favorite coffee shop and hang out for locals. But, don't be shy about coming in and grabbing a table. The smell of fresh coffee and homemade donuts will make it impossible not to come in and try this award winning diner.

Flat Rock is conveniently nestled between the intersections of I-275, I-75, and the original Michigan interstate--Telegraph Rd, making it the crossroads of Michigan's Downriver region. Come visit some of the best restaurants in Flat Rock and Southeast Michigan.
