Our motorcoach group enjoyed a wonderful, sit-down chicken dinner with all the fixings at The Bavarian Inn Restaurant! The meal was outstanding! We had time to explore Frankenmuth "Michigan's Little Bavaria" and we will be back next year - so much to do and see, really fun!!

The food was first rate and very good prices. Very big eating area with many tables but got full fast while we were there. The food was real German cooking like my grandmother used to make at home. Our party of 4 really enjoyed all the food. Our friends from Michigan area are revisiting the area with us on a... More

What a lovely place. Great, friendly service. Excellent Jaeger Schnitzel and Weiner Schnitzel. Butter noodles terrific - better than the spatzle, but those were made well too. Stolen with homemade preserves! Hint - if it's a weekend, get there early. The roof garden is faster to seat and mostly the same food but no stolen on the table.

After being sent to a couple of different restaurants in town and not wanting to wait, we decided to try the Bavarian Inn. What an amazing place! The atmosphere is wonderful and the service is great, but the food is the star! Wonderful german food that is prepared perfectly and tastes phenomenal, especially the sauerkraut! Don't forget about their homemade... More

Love the Bavarian Inn Restraunt. Chicken dinners and cold German beer...nothing better!! Expect to pay around $20 per person for chicken. I think its worth every penny. Oh ya...its all you can eat too!

The food is good, however, I get the feeling that the staff could care less if you are there or not. Very unfriendly, and our server looked at our coupon as if she had never seen it before, and yet this coupon is sent out in an email all the time....she knew what it was. Won't go back...we enjoyed Zehender's... More

I am so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your visit. It is difficult to explain any reason why the service would not be the most friendly and gracious for your family. That is what we are best known for. There is no excuse. I would appreciate the opportunity to talk with you in person, and invite you... More

I've traveled to Frankenmuth on many occasions and I can honestly say that the Bavarian Inn has the best food in town. The food is fabulous, the service is fabulous and you won't find a more "homey" place to enjoy a family dinner. And, the restaurant is just above a unique collection of shops that you must take time to... More

We had very high hopes for this restaurant after reading about their "world famous chicken dinners." It was nothing but disappointing. The food was flavorless! One thing in particular really bothered me. My husband's grandparents were from Germany, and he makes Stollen, a traditional German bread with candied and dried fruit, every Christmas. What this place serves is NOT Stollen.... More

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. I am sorry that things did not meet your expectations. We try very hard to give our guests the best possible service and delicious quality food. Sometimes, the flavor profile of the German items we make are not exactly what you would find in Germany, or an old family recipe.... More

I'm not really sure what I can say that hasn't been said already. We got the family chicken dinner which was fantastic, especially the buttered noodles, and with the easy to get bogo half off coupons, it's a great deal.
