The VI Grill, established in 1871, proudly holds the title of the oldest eating establishment in Leelanau County. Since 2009, it has been locally owned and operated by Chef Joshua Deters, who brings his expertise from the renowned Johnson & Wales University culinary program and years in the hospitality industry. Over the years, the VI Grill has undergone tasteful renovations, blending classic Northern Michigan charm with a modern ambiance.

Our menu offers something for everyone—from fresh fish and Black Angus steak burgers to vibrant salads and satisfying vegetarian options. While you wait, enjoy quality time with family and friends in our entertainment area featuring ping pong, cornhole, and giant Jenga. Relax by the outdoor stone fireplace with a handcrafted cocktail, groove to live music, or step inside our historic tavern to savor one of 22 rotating draft beers.
