Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Frankenmuth

I purposely made reservations for a 4 PM weekday to beat the rush (have eaten here multiple times in the last 13 years). Five minutes from check-in to being seated. I got the all-you-can-eat chicken dinner, which has breads/salads/chicken noodle soup as appetizers, and mashed potatoes/gravy/stuffing/boiled carrots and onions/egg noodles with breadcrumbs as sides. Even though I had not eaten for 24 hours, I still could not finish the last of the 3 pieces of chicken. I did eat the dish of chocolate ice cream for dessert :-) They still put a plastic animal on the ice cream, even though I am a grown-up. The blue camel will join the giraffe and others collected over the years. Service was great, waitress was personable, answered questions about the town. Zehnder's is justly famous, one of the three things to come to Frankenmuth for (the Bavarian Inn and the fudge are the other two). I am here for a week of vacation, no doubt will eat there again at least once.

You can always count on the consistency of the taste of the food at Bavarian Inn. Today they had a carrot salad which was kind of vinegary. It was good. They did not have that last time we visited. We had a noon reservation which for us was ideal. We were there before it got too busy which I like. They did have an accordian player walking around the tables which my Hubby didn't appreciate but I did. Our server was very good.

great service, friendly and efficient. we had the schnitzel and the Austrian goulash, both were excellent.
