“worlds best chicken”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2012 NEW

We usualy go to frankenmuth twice a year. Which place to eat for dinner is a really big deal. If you've ever had the pleasure of going to Frankenmuth you understand why. The family usually argues over if we are going to the bavarian Inn or Zhenders for chicken. Yes you read correctly, my loving family argues over who has... More

“Nice Authentic Restaurant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2012 NEW

Very interesting restaurant. Good German Food. Great service. Lot to choose from. They are known for their chicken and I have to admit it wasn't my favorite. I would go back and try something else. If you are in town, I would stop in! More

“Busy place, great meal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

It was very busy because a festival was going on, but the wait wasn't long and the service was great. We ate too much which made browsing the downtown shoppes a little uncomfortable! But we enjoyed the meal and would return! More

“Pretty Good”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2012

If you visit Frankenmuth you will be tempted to eat at this place (or across the street). If you do - you will get a pretty good meal - that is fun because it is uniquely German - lots of dishes you don't ordinarily find other places. Nothing really blew me away for quality or taste - and it is... More

“Purely Michigan, Purely Delicious”

person found this review helpful

Bavarian Inn specializes in serving German cuisine; the wiener schnitzel is superb. And when ordering family style, there are so many sides even a family with a big appetite cannot finish it all! BI has created Purely Michigan events, in which the head chef and Dorothy Zehnder work together to put the spotlight on Michigan agriculture and foods. Last night... More

Working the Purely Michigan Wine Dinner was equally as fun! Talking with all the farmers and suppliers and guests who are passionate about our mission to highlight all the wonderful products Michigan has to offer was a real treat! The salad with poached egg on top was my favorite, so unique! Chef Phil is very creative and his dishes always... More

“Great food and service even on the busiest day”

We've eaten here many times but this was the first time we tried it on Mother's Day. We had a reservation for our party of 8 and we were seated immediately. The food was delicious as always and service was excellent despite the busy day. Each mother in our party was given a coupon for a free gift in the... More

Any holiday in Frankenmuth is special! But, I have always enjoyed Mother's Day the most! It is such a joy to have all the wonderful families bringing in their mom's, grandma's, aunt's, and all the children dressed up and on their best behavior to treat mom on her special day!! Thank you for making it part of your family tradition... More

I was disappointed to read your post about your dining experience with us. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you in person about the visit. The description left many questions to be answered about what meal you were served and who served it. We strive to provide the best and most hospitable service and homemade deliciously cooked meals.... More

“Entertainment and a nice meal for $40”

Went and saw Elvis Presley jr. show and had a nice chicken dinner for $40. The staff was great. They served a 5 course meal just before the show started. They were very nice and quick with getting you on to the next course. The food was good, however a little bland. This was my first time going there and... More

“Average, over-priced food”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2012

We ate lunch here and had their "chicken dinner" as a first time visitor to Frankenmeuth we felt it was a must. The food was average, however for the $40.00 bill, I would not eat there again. Service was great however. More
