Empire Village Inn

An Empire institution! I've been eating pizza here since the 90s. It was my 1st time back since 2001. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Shaq pinball, packman, and another console. I miss the jukebox. The pool tables are gone, but the little provisioning shop in their place is very charming. Local ambiance is top-notch. Pure Michigan. Quick, friendly, competent service. We had gluten full and a gluten free pizzas. They were delicious! Flavorful without being greasy. Fully cooked, not over or under. Generous, but not a ridiculous amount of toppings. Very child friendly. Crayola crayons and coloring book pages were provided. They had booster seats and high chairs. I don't recall if there were changing tables in the ladies' room. They had numerous local beers on tap. We had wine from the provisioning shop. We had an excellent early dinner with 3 kids under 6. Thank you for Village Inn, not just for enduring and maintaining but striving for excellence!

High quality food that you may not expect in a small town. Brussels sprouts are incredible, we got carry out 3 times during our trip. My husband loved their pizza great crust flavors, the Philly Cheese steak and the Cubano sandwich. For the kids we got them chicken finger and fries. The veggie pizza is great and loved they had a Gluten Free crust option and goat cheese

Excellent food, service and fun atmosphere! Great gluten free options.
