Flat River Grill is a neighborhood restaurant located in the heart of downtown Lowell and is comprised of two unique spaces–the dining room, housed within the first floor of the Bergin building (est. 1931), and a four-season patio, which is situated alongside the Flat River and the historic Lowell Showboat.

We serve wood-fired feasts with an emphasis on classic American cuisine. The menu is highlighted by line-caught fish, grass-fed beef, wood-fired pizza, and an impressive variety of wood-grilled burgers. The space is comfortable, the service is warm, and the people are like family. A special bond exists between our staff and the Lowell community. Patrons often choose to share milestone events like birthdays, anniversaries, proms and celebrations with us. We're not ashamed to admit that our Instagram feed can resemble a family scrapbook from time to time. Over the years we've enjoyed the privilege of watching both employees and guests spend their formative years here, before embarking out into the world on grand adventures. Some elect to settle down here in our hometown of Lowell, Michigan. Others travel to experience the food, service, and warmth of The Grill. To all who visit, we say, **"welcome home."**
