Color Tour Stop #4. Our Final Stop is Legs Inn in Cross Village Michigan + Shops

Legs Inn Address: 6425 N Lake Shore Dr, Cross Village, MI 49723

While driving the Michigan Tunnel of Trees you are bound to get hungry! 

Housemade Polish cuisine is Legs Inn's specialty, but you will find a wide variety of American dishes, including locally-caught Great Lakes Whitefish on their menu. The Great Lakes Smoked Whitefish (served with crackers) is awesome! 

The last time we were there we shared the Old World Sampler so we could try Pierogis, Kabanosy (Polish Sausage) and Bigos (Hunter's Stew).

• Check out their incredibly eclectic interior!  There's everything from disco balls to totem poles decorating every inch of this outrageous Michigan restaurant.

NOTE: Legs Inn doesn't take reservations, so we recommend getting there about an hour before you are starving to death so you can wander through their two gift shops while you wait for your table - there's one inside the main restaurant and another across the street.

You don't want hangry to show up!

We absolutely love wandering around their "backyard." The views of Lake Michigan are incredible and the staff at Legs Inn in Cross Village take great pride in their colorful gardens. 

Legs Inn in Cross Village is seasonal and is scheduled to close October 24. We recommend visiting their webpage prior to visiting to make sure they are open and their hours.
