According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the most historic restaurant in Michigan is White Horse Inn in Metamora.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the most historic restaurant in the entire state:

"Built in 1848 as Metamora’s general store, the White Horse Inn started life as a stagecoach stop in 1850, evolving into an essential overnight resting place for those traveling by railway. It continued as an inn and restaurant, gaining its current name in the 1920s. New owners took over in 2012 and the renovated restaurant now boasts a stylish design and menu featuring comfort food favorites with a modern slant."
