Wrought Iron Grill
Owosso’s favorite special-occasion restaurant — eclectic American cuisine, locally sourced from mid-Michigan farms, served in a beautifully restored historic building.
A Lifelong Dream, Built Right in Owosso
Tucked into a beautifully restored historic building on South Elm Street, Wrought Iron Grill is the lifelong dream of owner John Lowman — a love letter to Owosso, mid-Michigan farms, and the kind of slow, satisfying meal you remember. From the reclaimed beams under the bar to the 110-year-old windows above it, every detail of the WIG reflects a deep appreciation for the town’s heritage. Local diners and out-of-towners alike call it the best meal in Owosso, and once you taste the Wrought Iron Burger, the lobster bisque, or the wild mushroom risotto, it’s easy to see why.
What really sets Wrought Iron Grill apart is its commitment to local sourcing. The kitchen partners with mid-Michigan farms and producers — pure maple syrup from Sandy Ridge Farms right here in Owosso, Otto’s chicken thighs, DeVries pork loin, Founders stone-ground mustard — to bring the freshest possible flavors to your table. Pair that with an extensive wine list, handcrafted cocktails, and a rotating selection of Michigan craft beers, and you’ve got the perfect spot for date night, a celebration, or a quiet dinner after a day at Curwood Castle, the Steam Railroading Institute, or the Owosso Farmers’ Market. Reservations recommended.
