We've been visiting Zehnder's for as long as I can remember. Sure it's always crowded and a little over priced, but the experience is fun. We've always had great service and never complained about the food. It's not the best meal I've ever had, but I love the comfort food aspect of this place. The mashed potatoes are great, and... More

We stopped in for dinner late on a Saturday evening. We'd been given a coupon from the St. Julian winery and were glad we decided to have dinner here. We got seated quickly because it was after 9 p.m. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We had the chicken dinner and found it as good as we were told.... More

Food is over priced, the service was less than expected,it seemed everything was challenging for the staff from seating,drinks, to the food order. We have given this establishment several chances, but the results always seem the same. More

Their speciality was chicken -- be sure to try this delightfully tender recipe. They accomodated our group of 30 with ease and professionalism that was appreciated and even offered us a discount which was a surprised (and well liked) bonus. Be sure to try this place. More

I was in Frankenmuth for a conference and we took our speakers to Zehnder's. It was everything that I remembered from 30 years ago and I wouldn't say that as a good thing. Our guests decided to do the family style chicken dinner. There were 4 of of sitting at a 4 top, but they managed to squeeze (literally) every... More

We enjoyed the hot chicken sandwich. Asked for gravy on the side since we don't care for a lot on our food. Wait staff was very helpful and friendly. Dining room was very pretty. We will be back!! More

Took my Mom here for her birthday lunch. I would rate them a 5 for service, but the food was just ok. For the hype that Zehnder's receives I expected a bit more. It's fried chicken or chicken sandwiches. There are a few beef, fish, vegetarian options on their menu, but I ordered a chicken dish since that is the... More
