Discover the Grosse Pointes

Step into Village Grille on Kercheval Avenue and you’ll find a formula that works: great food, cold drinks, and a room that’s always buzzing with locals. This is Grosse Pointe’s neighborhood meeting place, built for everything from milestone family dinners to Saturday afternoons spent watching your pick of games. If you’re looking for a spot where it’s just as normal to see three generations at a table as it is to see the local softball champs at the bar, this is it.

True Community Flavor Since 1994

For over 30 years, Village Grille has grown in both size and reputation by keeping things classic and approachable. Started by Dan Lemanske, a familiar Grosse Pointe North face, this eatery is more than a pitstop—it’s a fixture that’s expanded from its original 3,200 square feet to a sprawling, welcoming hangout with a hearty dining room, a lively sports bar, a full arcade, a massive soup and garden bar, and even a banquet space. The vibe: family-owned warmth, friendly faces, fair prices, and zero fuss.

The Soup & Garden Bar: Salad Nirvana and Soup Goals

What keeps folks coming back? For many, it’s the build-your-own approach at the Soup & Garden Bar, where any combo is yours for the making. Choose from six different homemade soups, rotating daily, and pile your plate with garden-fresh ingredients. Try the fan-favorite Chicken Lemon Rice or Clam Chowder and see why regulars can’t get enough.

Sports Bar: Every Seat’s a Good Seat

This is where you never have to guess if the game will be on—there are screens everywhere. Whether it’s a Lions showdown, March basketball, or just a Tuesday, the bar is filled with the soundtrack of friends catching up and the clink of happy hour drinks. Pop in on a weekday between 3 and 6 PM for discounted appetizers and drinks. Keep your eye on the action, or be part of it with a round of Golden Tee or a challenge in the arcade.

Menu: Straightforward, Satisfying, and Seriously Crowd-Pleasing

Village Grille’s kitchen leans on proven winners. No surprise that the Chicken Pita Rancher is the top pick—grilled chicken, crispy bacon, Jack and cheddar, ranch, and a warm pita. Want something lighter? The Classic Caesar Salad delivers every time. Going bigger? Check out the Perch Tacos & Fries or the Grosse Pointe Club. Burgers, melts, wraps, quesadillas, and fish and chips round out a menu that satisfies every craving.

Favorites include:

• Chicken Pita Rancher: Grilled chicken, bacon, jack and cheddar, ranch, pita

• Michigan Salad: Mixed greens, apples, walnuts, dried cranberries, gorgonzola, vinaigrette

• Lake Perch: Fried to crispy perfection, served with fries and slaw

• Bacon Bleu Cheese Burger: Juicy burger with bacon and blue cheese

• Soup of the Day: Always homemade, always comforting

Veggie lovers, carnivores, and the gluten-free crowd will all find a plate to call their own.

Family Features and Kids’ Corner

Little ones love the arcade—and parents do, too. It’s a place where family meals never feel stuffy, where spills happen and it’s okay, and no one minds a game of Skee-Ball before dessert arrives. Crayons and coloring sheets are always on hand, giving grown-ups a little more time to linger over hot coffee or a well-earned drink.

Your Banquet, Your Way

From birthdays to retirement parties, the banquet room is ideal for making gatherings simple and memorable. The staff handles everything, including custom menus and setups, so you can focus on your guests. Call 313-882-4555 to get started—private room, menu that fits, service that feels easy.
