My best childhood years were spent on the sidewalks of Bellevue Michigan fifty years ago…read more On a whim I decided to stop in to the Village Bar for dinner. I am so glad I did! Serena, a lifelong Bellevue girl was tending bar and provided great service. She introduced me to her mother, also a lifelong resident. I had a great time quietly eavesdropping on the conversation of six locals, who reminded me of why it is so great to grow up in small town America. No one is a stranger. And if you walk in there alone and sit at the bar like I did, you will not eat alone. I write about the atmosphere first, because if you live in a place where you never see the same person twice, spend some time at the Village Bar in Bellevue to understand what you're missing. It's the Midwest Michigan simplicity we've all been craving. Now for the food. I had the wet burrito which comes in steak, beef or chicken. I chose the beef which had excellent flavor. The condiments, such as sour cream, jalapeños, and salsa are served on the side As you can see by the photo there are three full meals on this single plate, all for $9 dollars. Seriously! They let me snap pictures of the boneless wings and steak salad just before they took them to the table. Both of these portions are crazy big too. They have several craft beers on tap served in frosted mugs. I chose an Oberon served with an orange slice a quarter inch wide. Perfect. If you like mixed drinks, there are no automatic stoppers on their bottles. You will get what Serena gives you as she eyeballs it, and it will be generous. So, stay on her good side and tip her well. I had a great experience. So check it out.

The restaurant has a great look and atmosphere, and the downtown location makes it easy to walk around Marshall before or after eating. The food was mixed. The chicken wings were just OK, and the burger was not especially flavorful. We also tried the Copper hash browns, which were pretty good. Overall, the setting was better than the food, but it is still a convenient stop while exploring downtown Marshall.

I've have their pizza a couple of times and highly recommend it! The restaurant itself is kind of small, which means it can feel a bit crowded some nights. One fun aspect of Dark Horse, however, is that the walls (and ceilings!) are lined with custom mugs, each belonging to a Dark Horse regular. This gives the bar a special charm that makes it feel unique. Something to note is that the service can be pretty slow when they're busy.

The indoor/ outdoor space blends together in the warmer months with cool hangout spaces and game areas. This place is truly a work of art. Drink lists abound, but because it was lunchtime we stuck to food. We were not disappointed. Everything was well conceived and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the bone bread next time, stew and scrumptious sounding salads. Today we had the kids smash burger, Brussels burger with frites and fried haddock and frites with a delicious coleslaw. The best part? Different sauces to choose to dip the fries in. The curry ketchup was the best (special shout out for *actually* cooking the curry into the ketchup) as it did not taste of raw curry. They definitely don't cut corners here. We noticed, and we appreciated it. We will be back.
