   Our server was one of the best I have ever had. He was super kind and friendly and attentive to our needs. Always pleasant and helpful. When reserving the table, it was super easy to do so. I noted that I would have my 95 year old dad with a walker in the group and they placed us in a "quieter" corner, out of the way to accommodate placing his walker, which was perfect! It was also very easy to edit the reservation when our group turned from 5 to 7. The wait time was excellent and the Hostess was very kind as well. I had the Rotisserie chicken and though it was tasty, it was quite tough and dry. I was disappointed, in that Frankenmuth is famous for their chicken. The vegetables that came with it were excellent, but nothing was hot, simply luke warm. My group enjoys hot food, so that was disappointing. Very surprised how pricey, but the night with family was worth it. I very much appreciated that even though only three of us got the all you can eat chicken dinner, that everyone got certain appetizers and ice cream. That is lovely and generous! Ultimately, it was all about the experience for me! We live near Reese and rarely ever come to Frankenmuth, but it was just a lovely family evening out, with my brother, his wife, my cousin and her husband, my brother here from Texas and my 95 year old father. What a blessing! (P.S. My mom used to be a waitress at Zehnder's! <3) Thanks for providing a memorable experience for me and my family.

   We come to Zehnders a few times a year and we love the food, the service and the charm of this establishment. Also make sure to check out the shops downstairs!

   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.

   Service at a booth with 3 people and the service started out fine, but our waiter got a large noisy table right next to us and our service ground to a halt. I ended up waiting almost 30 minutes for our bill after we were done you ice cream - my daughter went across the street to shop and came back before i got the bill.

   We were able to sit in the Cowpath Room, which is way more intimate. Although the tables are small for a party of 4 adults, it’s worth the trade to have a quiet seating. The food was good and our server, Marcy, was very pleasant. I’ve been coming to Zehnder’s since I was very little with my family and I can’t think of a better way to spend our birthdays than gathered around a table together sharing a good chicken dinner.
