Conveniently located to serve Mackinac Island visitors, Auto/Truck Show revelers, outdoor sports enthusiasts and local patrons alike, we offer a friendly atmosphere for you to relax and enjoy your time here in Michigan's beautiful and historic Upper Peninsula! Great spot for snow mobilers, we are located near the main UP trail. Offering great facilities for dining, drinking and meeting with your friends, family and colleagues. Our restaurant serves a wide variety of regional cuisine, and is home to the famous "Planked Whitefish." Come check us out!
The only negative things I have to say about this establishment is that phone calls are never returned or answered. I phoned because I wanted to make sure they would be open, as I am 90 miles away. The other thing was the music was a bit loud and rather wild. Anyway, everyone in my party had the whitefish which was absolutely delicious. The baked potato and vegetables were also delectable... We all enjoyed a fine view of the harbor area from where we were seated. The waitress was gracious, helpful and did a wonderful job of taking care of us. We had an enjoyable and memorable visit.

After spending the day on Mackinaw Island we wanted to go over the Mighty Mac Bridge. Looking for a place for dinner there was only 1 or 2 places close to the bridge so we went with the Village Inn. As soon as you go in you tell its for locals not a touristy atmosphere. The staff was so friendly , they we eager to talk to us about the winters and made us laugh. When the food arrived you really get your money's worth

The food is outstanding. Highly recommend white fish. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice drink selection not a fancy place but clean and accommodating. Food was served in a timely manor. In walking distance to park and ice cream shops.

Visited for a family dinner with two young teens after a busy day. Diverse and delicious menu with large, filling entrees and fast, friendly service. The whitefish sandwich was fantastic. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again!

Very good food. A little pricy but the food is worth it. Service is very good too. Be careful of hidden costs such as ordering extras. I had a Swiss mushroom burger which was good, nothing exceptional though and I ordered soup as a side, (which the menu stated I could Pick one side and soup was one of them)and was charged 75 cents for that. When I questioned the server about the upcharge I was told it was for a bowl not a cup which I don’t even remember saying a bowl of soup I just said I would take soup as my side. I also wanted to add a salad which I knew was an upcharge of 2.00 as the menu stated. When I got the bill I was charged 5.00 for the salad which I brought to the attention of our server. He tried to explain to me why which made no sense and I asked him again why so much for adding the salad and he again told me something that didn’t make much sense. I was done trying to figure out my bill so I just paid it and left. It was still a good place to eat and I would Go there again.…

For the “Best” homemade soups, sandwiches and meals, the Villages is by far the best in town. Go and enjoy a great soup and sandwich. My wife had homemade chicken soup and I the best ever Cream of Squash, both were outstanding! The Ruben sandwich is full of homemade corned beef stacked high, what a delight, and the pickles are homemade also.

Just had dinner with my wife (both age 65) on our first visit to the UP. No reservation but no wait on a Sunday night in late September. The staff was very nice and service was good. The decor is tired and very touristy casual. Prices were reasonable. We had perch and whitefish, both of which were fine, though the accompaniments not so much. Lots of beer choices but minimal wine and the best bottle would only retail for about $12.
