Took two hours from start to finish with dinner. Yes it was busy but guests were seated after us and leaving before us. The wait was unacceptable and very small portions for a family of four.

We had the best waitress we have ever had in all the years we have gone. Her name was Autumn. She was very attentive to our family. Our grandchildren even made a comment on her. Enjoyed the whole experience.

Two years in a row we had made reservations for a larger party with two young kids (on a weekday before 12:00). Last year, we were not seated until well beyond our reservation time. Anyone with little kids knows that’s not ideal. I mentioned that when confirming today’s reservation. I was assured it wouldn’t be an issue. Lo and behold, we were not seated on time again and we were told our waitress wasn’t there yet. Having worked in food service at one point in my life, it seems really weird that a table would be “given” to a staff member who wasn’t there prior to the reservation beginning. The waitress was nice, but it took too long for us to get our food - almost an hour after we ordered. I came prepared with activities and snacks for the kids, but that only goes so far. What I had hoped was just a fluke last year seems to be standard for them now and it’s pretty likely we will go back. In addition, the food wasn’t that good.

Meet family for lunch at Bavarian Inn 4 times a year. Wouldn't go elsewhere. Great selection of food. The waitress/waiter let's us sit & visit after our meal. That means a lot to us.
