We were pleased Saturday night with good service and great food. The Angus burger was delicious, and the Perch was perfect. Live music deserved a good tip too. We will be back!!

Very impressed. This was the first time I visited the restaurant since the Grand took it over. Wow- the food was ten times better than the old fare. Our server was Steve- highly professional- and doting on our table throughout entire dinner. The manager Travis was wonderful- making sure the restaurant was working well- coming over to our table making... More

Whenever my boyfriend and I come to the Island, we always have to stop at the Village Inn. Our favorite place to sit is at the bar. The bartenders are wonderful. Their drink prices are the most reasonable out of anywhere on the Island. The food is amazing. My favorite dinner item is the Planked White Fish.

Prices are way up and the food quality is way down. This place was one of the highlights of our trip a few years ago. This time the food was mediocre and the prices were way up. I wonder if the Grand is playing a heavier hand on management and the food quality is suffering because of it? Plenty of... More

I was told it was the best planked white fish,unfortunately I think they pulled it out of the bottom of the freezer from last year. It was dry and so fishy ,it was inedible. Waitress realized I didn't eat it and said nothing,they were very friendly but food was a big disappointment.

We are very sorry that our Whitefish was not up to our usual standards. I can assure you that our whitefish comes in to us fresh daily and is never frozen. I wish that I was aware of this issue while you were here and I could have taken care of this matter personally. With the help of your review... More

Very good food and the service was very good also. I have eaten here before and it is always worth eating here. Casual atmosphere, but really good food.

We always make a point of eating at the Village Inn when we stay on Mackinac Island. They have delicious whitefish and a large variety of other entrees. Grab a table on the porch, if you can. We love to people watch while having lunch or dinner.

I enjoy the food at the Village Inn - it comes quickly and is consistently good. Nabbing one of the outdoor tables is a plus. For me, this is Mackinac Island eating.

They have a nice selection of beer on tap that is wonderfully cold. We had a nice amber ale from Cheboygan. The food was delicious. We had two amazing desserts - a pecan ball (vanilla ice cream covered in pecans and surrounded by dark chocolate sauce) and a delectable peanut butter/chocolate cheesecake - YUM!
