The chicken is always a sure thing. All of the sides/condiments are also very good. My parents however each had a steak dinner and it was so tough they only ate a few bites. The servers have always been very friendly and helpful. It was my cousin's wedding anniverssary and I called ahead for a cake from the bakery. They... More

We are members of Zehnder's rewards club. On the month of our birthday we receive a free birthday dinner/lunch. The chicken is fantastic when sprinkled with the chicken seasoning condiment, which is on every table (you can buy the chicken seasoning in the bakery/gift shop downstairs). The service is always fantastic at Zehnder's.

We chose to eat lunch at the cafe downstairs. Great selections. Salads made fresh with each order. Lots of choices for entrees, sandwiches and soups. It's a nice break from shopping.

Great service, great food, great bavarian atmosphere. The all you can eat chicken dinner is a classic meal. Many side dishes and free ice cream for dessert. You need to come hungry for this meal. Great family environment and the surrounding town of Frankenmuth has a german theme to it that is very entertaining. Many things to do and see... More

We ate downstairs at the cafe. I think for the quality of food, it is way overpriced! It is good- but not that good to charge the kind of prices that are there. I appreciate the atmosphere and the cleanliness of the place.
