Michael’s at 28828 Telegraph Road has a lot of history in Flat Rock.  Michael’s was called George’s before Michael and Carol Crowder purchased the Restaurant/Bar in 1998.  It was also known as Little Pal.  The building has a 100 year history in Flat Rock.  (picture on the left.)  Michael’s family came to Flat Rock in the early 1950’s from North Carolina and Michael is a Graduate of Flat Rock High School, Class of 1962.  Michael told me he held a couple of FRCHS records including the stolen base record for over 30 years.  Today Michael’s On The River is known for its great food and drinks.  The restaurant and bar is a Local family run business.  Kim, Kelly and Michael Jr. along with grandchildren William and Amanda all play a part in its success.  Kim told me that they have all homemade food.  Some of their specialties are Prime Rib, Fish, Pizza and Mexican dishes.  She also said that the staff at Michael’s is like family, the kitchen, bar and wait staff has been together for a while.  Ginger has been her over 13 years, they all work great together. Kim says “Come in and try any of our great homemade entrée to see what you like best.”

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.
