Our Restaurant of the week is WIMPY BURGER.

Wimpy has been our go-to burger joint in Flat Rock for the last five years. Many of us have grown to love the retro diner atmosphere as we enjoy some their signature burgers and fantastic fries! For their five years with us, the team at Wimpy has been committed to giving back to their community in countless ways. Wimpy Burgers has been a major sponsor of the Flat Rock football team and supported our schools in any way they can. In addition, Wimpy also offers all veterans a free hamburger to thank our community members for their service.
During this challenging year, Wimpy has seen their regular business down by 60% of what it once was. In addition, they are facing the difficulty of higher prices for their needed food items. The team at Wimpy continues to work to keep their doors open and their customers happy. They only ask that you get a burger a week! All support and patronage is sincerely appreciated by the entire team at Wimpy Burgers.

This week, our Restaurant of the Week is Build Your Own Burrito, B.Y.O.B..
B.Y.O.B stands as one of our favorite family-owned businesses in Flat Rock. Opening their doors three years ago, B.Y.O.B is an easy choice for your burrito and Tex Mex needs. The team at B.Y.O.B has always felt connected to their hometown, often relying on the support of the entire Flat Rock community. For as much as they feel supported, they aim to send this appreciation back in every way they can. B.Y.O.B has supported our Flat Rock football team through sponsorships and donations, as well as supported Flat Rock High School homecoming events and other festivals. The support of Flat Rock Schools is how B.Y.O.B aims to make their mark on the community.
With the many changes that have come with the coronavirus pandemic, B.Y.O.B has relied completely on curbside service. This loss of income has heavily impacted the way in which they run their business, forever changing the normalcy of in-person dining. The team at B.Y.O.B hope you might choose to visit them for you next curbside pickup!

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
