Great Food!! The Best Fried chicken in the Area. Friendly welcoming Staff . I like the fact that the waiters wearing traditional German Clothes . Good experience and Delicious food. Highly Recommend

Patrice Lubin

The Eclair are wonderful and you have to try the scones along with the Guten Morgan and Guten Tags

Christin

The homemade ice cream and lightening lemonade is delicious. The well spoke about chicken left a lot to be desired. While it was fried/broasted beautifully; it fell short in the seasoning dept.

Kristen Jeffery

Yummy food and affordable for a family! The flavored lemonade is amazing! Try the blackberry lemonade .

Alyssa Goch

Family style is pricy but if you shovel it in then order second or third rounds and take little bites, you will have lots to take home for leftovers, making it worth the price.

Bob D

Great food, clean . Friendly staff . A MUST stop in Frankenmuth

Douglas Blakeley

Very good dollar value. Excellent food and good service . Free WiFi and ample parking .

Crispy Creme

Very expensive but good service and the food is so good. Don't forget to order the noodles . Delicious and humongous chicken dinner .

Ricardo Luciano

Good restaurant , however we ask to eat at the patio with our dog and they said is not friendly ... even when they allowed a regular big dog eat there earlier... Improve consistency on the answers...

In the time it took our server between each visit to our table I could have farm raised a chicken from egg to plate.

Jessica Christiansen

Amazing chicken ! Lots of wonderful sides. I like the atmosphere. All around a great experience.

Love the chicken , and the michigan inspired seasonal dishes !

Domenic Scuglia

The chicken dinner is tasty but the service is brutal. We were a large party and there was only 1 waitress assigned to our room. It took forever.

Frankenmuth Brewery

I bet that family style chicken dinner left you quite parched... better visit us at Frankenmuth Brewery for a delicious craft beer !

Michael Miles

My wife and I go here for birthdays and other special occasions we love it here.

Jim Engel

German pretzel making experience is awesome at restaurant ! MAKE your jumbo pretzel , learn the history then eat your own work of art

Wendy Carranza

Try the Roof Garten for lunch - that is where the soup and sandwiches are. Or try the amazing pot pie .

Tolga Oksay

Really Good Wow Wow Wow Amazing All The Meals Was Excellent!

Alex Gonzalez

Sampler Excelent!! Combination Bavarian really good!!! Not expensive

Chris Skirrow

The beer selection is very good. Some tasty and unusual brews. The food is awful. It's a mass produced pale imitation of German cuisine . Avoid this place if you like good authentic German food .

Eric Munn

The chicken is famous and its good, but also try the sauerbraten and the potato cheese puffs .

On a summer weekend at lunch time, there is immediate seating.

Bavarian Inn Restaurant makes their own BBQ sauce . It is awesome on Brats . You can order it "take out " from the bake shop and take it home with you. Awesome on Pork Chops !

Made a reservation because of how busy it is, but seated long after people without a reservation . Hmmm.

Julez Way

It's been tradition have the family style chicken dinner with my family forever. Used to love it, but the past 2 trips have been subpar. It's overpriced for less food, and not very good service .
