Featured Restaurants – Fiorelli’s Restaurant Collection

By

Fiorelli’s Restaurant Collection – Flat Rock, Mi.

Flat Rock is known for its wonderful collection of restaurants at Fiorelli’s, standing as a favorite of our community for 40 years.  All of us have been going to Fiorelli’s for longer than we can remember – and the team at gives back the same love and appreciation to our community. Fiorelli’s Restaurant Collection has donated and supported our Flat Rock Schools, various local charities, our annual events, our frontline hospital workers, as well as the Flat Rock fire and police departments. Much of this support has been prioritized by Fiorelli’s since the pandemic began.

As COVID-19 has impacted all of us, Fiorelli’s has seen a dramatic change in their normal business operations. Fiorelli’s Restaurant Collection has always been a sit-down restaurant for many, with only 10% of their sales coming from carryout. As a result, the restaurants are now down in regular business by 90%. Despite these challenges, Fiorelli’s Restaurant Collection has been fiercely committed to keeping on all of their full-time staff. To help Fiorelli’s continue to be the community staple that it has become, we hope you will continue to patronize their restaurants and buy gift certificates for family and friends!

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.
