I'm still full from the amazing chicken dinner , and I ate it two days ago. ;) Great food, great staff . Plenty of seating, so don't let a line deter you.
Literally been coming my entire life. My parents intro me as a baby. I passed it to my kids and hopefully they will too. A Michigan tradition. Especially great at Christmas 🎄
Love the family style chicken dinner ! The homemade jam is excellent as is the buttered noodles and of course the chicken ! Birthday dessert is excellent! Our server Heather was great!!! 👍❤️👍
Weekend buffet is good if you don’t want to spring for the all you can eat chicken dinner . Cant get enough of the home made chicken soup nor the liver pate . Pepsi products.
This place is famous for its fried chicken but their chicken pâté coleslaw is awesome too. Check our bakery for some delicious sugar free creations!
Torri was our waitress - great service. Excellent food. After 61 years apart my brothers & sisters reunited for the first time with a dinner here at Zenders.
Chicken dinner for 4 for takeout from the Z Cafe downstairs is a good deal . Just beware that their service might be slipping a bit when it's really busy; they need a devoted pickup area.
Buy a family pack and eat at the Z-Cafe. It takes less time and is far less expensive than the upstairs but the same great food. Get dessert from the bakery and be sure to try a Napoleon .
A must stop, if you find yourself in Frankenmuth. We ate downstairs this time, and it was delicious. Michigan Cherry Salad - DELICIOUS
Awesome birthday lunch ! Awesome service! Every birthday! Love Zehnder’s! And the free Christmas ornament at Bronner’s is always really nice!
Chicken livers with sautéed onions and gravy were great!
This is the best chicken in the area. Key word area. Definitely not like the South but good. Nice flaky crispy batter on the chicken . Can't go wrong with the all you can eat deal.
The Family style meal is well worth the price! Beautiful decor during the holidays
Eat upstairs for lunch . prices about the same but you get a nicer atmosphere. The quesadilla was really good. The wings were horrible. If you want chicken just get the chicken dinner .
Family style chicken dinner is the way to go!
Emily was very attentive! Apple chicken breast is Yummy! Corn and Buttered Noodles well prepared.
The chicken dinner is mediocre to okay. But the ambiance and oddity of the place make up for it. All you can eat chicken . It's a time capsule of late 80s early 90s culture.
I'll pick Zehnder's over Bavarian Inn every time. Love their menu so much more. Awesome staff !
The chicken is where it’s at — I wouldn’t come here for anything else!
Best green beans , dressing and butter noodles ! The chicken was very dry...tasty breading though.
The bakery is the best part. We always buy extra for family and friends. The coffe cake freeze great, cut into serving sizes and freeze for a quick taste of Frankenmuth.
Make a reservation first. It will save you a lot of time waiting in a 45 min. Line !
The chicken is great, but they also have great German food .Schnitzel , spaetzel , bratwurst , saurkraut and more....
Normally, the service is not bad, but tonight, our server took way to long and it took us 2 hours due to this bad service. I will be back, but tonight was just super bad. Not up to normal standards.
The chicken is subpar HOWEVER the veiner schnitzel is delicious. The sides are also top notch.
Chicken Dinner , Family style the way to. Nice atmosphere & good food.
Join Zehnder's Rewards! Get a free dinner on your birthday month, then for a couple of bucks more, come on Sunday for the buffet ... Really worth it!
Great traditional family style chicken dinner . Sooo much food!
Amazing fried chicken , great family style side dishes!
Order half portion when possible. Servings are too large. A family of five can split one hot chicken sandwich and be satisfied.
Eat at the cafe downstairs . It's the same food just pick & choose for a quick lunch
The chicken dinner was not great but not terrible either. Overall with all the sides included with our meals and the amazing service I would give it about a 7 out of 10.
Reservations . Get one. Unless, of course, you like waiting. Worth it!
Surprisingly clean restrooms considering the amount of greasy fried chicken being slung through here!
Great service downstairs in the little bistro and same food that you get upstairs
Meeting up with my gal Berh..
The secret dinner , ask for the captains platter and you'll get prime rib with your chicken .
Chicken dinner is wonderful, with all the fixings!
Love the chicken and the cheese bites
Chicken and prime rib are both good
All you can eat....yum!!!! Good meal...come hungry...leave stuffed
The Z Cafe has wonderful staff and food.
All you can chicken dinner ! Great food and lots of it!

Ruben Egg Rolls with Homemade Thousand Island dressing....THE BEST! - Jim Engel

Great cheese selection..love the Horseradish cheese spread. . - Kimberly J.
