Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Restaurant

We came here as a group of 10, and the staff was so kind, they quickly arranged a great table where we all felt comfortable. The restaurant is beautifully decorated in a traditional Bavarian/German style, which is honestly the coolest part of the experience and really sets the mood. The famous chicken dinner was very good, and it came with plenty of refillable appetizers, all of them were delicious! Our waitress was super friendly and attentive throughout the meal, making sure we had everything we needed. It’s a little on the pricey side, but overall, it was a really good experience and definitely worth visiting if you’re in Frankenmuth.

A great place to enjoy delicious meals with friends and family. From chicken dinners to several German dishes. Everything is freshly made and delicious. Servers are very attentive and dressed in traditional German attire. A beautiful restaurant that's a treat to see and visit. Highly recommend but you will spend $20 or more per person. I recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food and service here and always a super fun experience! My favorite is their Famous Family-Styke All-You-Can-Eat Chicken with Mashed Potatoes, Gravy and Stuffing! Also, Don't forget to take a ride on one of the beautiful Horse-Drawn Carriages! So much fun!

F.B.I. (Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn) On the heels of Oktoberfest, I decided to finally review one of my all-time favorite German restaurants (and I am ~ 75% German in my DNA makeup so I have an affinity for their cuisine). This one needs some background story, so grab some popcorn and settle in. I used to work at this restaurant as a server for many years prior to my medical career. As a matter of fact, *everyone* in my immediate family has worked here, including both of my parents. And so I have a special connection with this spot. It is a 3 level behemoth of a complex with 3 floors, 7? dining rooms, and a complete suite of shops including your standard gift shop as well as a full bakery, wine, meat & cheese, etc. Frankenmuth is a very touristy town and Bavarian Inn and along with Zehnder’s, its sister restaurant across the road, they are the lifeblood of the town. A very busy enterprise and perpetually busy. They are most known for their all-you-can-eat fried chicken dinners as well as the assortment of German meats such as kassler ripchen, sauerbraten, bratwurst, weiner schnitzel, and more. My particular favorite is their chicken cordon bleu, which is a chicken breast stuffed with ham and swiss cheese, breaded & golden fried and served with a creamy white wine & carrot sauce. It is accompanied by potato puffs, which are basically tater tots but with mashed potato filling and cheese and then fried. It is so good and I have been eating this dish for 30+ years.

Fried chicken meal was so worth it. Great beautiful location and history. They have been doing the same way over 100 years and you can tell. Chicken was juicy with great seasoning. All the sides completed the meal well. Ready to go back for next trip.

What a great restaurant. Fantastic food, efficient/friendly service, old world German atmosphere! Our server Ben was super! We had a smoked chicken salad and The Frankenmuth platter (fried chicken, saurbraten, and weiner schnitzel) with a plethora of sides included (cranberry/apple, squash, buttered noodles, saurkraut, macaroni salad, coleslaw, carrot salad, chicken noodle soup, and ice cream for dessert!!!!) And the dark Barvarian beer in frosted mug was delicious. There was an accordion player wandering through the dining tables playing polka music! What a fantastic meal.

My wife and I visited the Bavarian Inn Restaurant in Frankenmuth, Michigan, and it was an experience to remember! This was my first visit (my wife has been before), and I can now see why she loves it so much. The famous chicken dinner was everything and more than I expected, crispy on the outside, juicy and flavourful on the inside, absolutely cooked to perfection. Every side dish that came with the meal was outstanding, but I especially have to mention the cold pasta salad, it was so good I had to go back for seconds! What makes this place shine is not only the food, but the experience as a whole. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a charming Bavarian feel that sets the tone for a wonderful meal. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, always checking in at the right times, and the food arrived hot, fresh, and in generous portions. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. I’m already looking forward to our next trip back to Frankenmuth, and another visit to the Bavarian Inn Restaurant is definitely at the top of the list!

I don't get to Frankenmuth often, but The Bavarian Inn is my stop to eat. Great atmosphere, lots of people and a great vibe. Plus, the food is delicious. Great gift shop and desserts on lower level. Plenty of parking. Just drive around for a bit, and wait for a spot to open up.

This is a wonderful restaurant! The waitress, Britney, was awesome! She anticipated our needs (like drinks) way before we asked for them. The food was delicious!

It's definitely the holidays from the minute you walk through the doors with your family. Excellent service, excellent atmosphere, exceptional food (much better food than that Gen Z restaurant across the street). Family members always enjoy holiday meals here and shopping downstairs for cookies, unusual beers, lovely wine, and handmade sweets. I never fail to notice that Bavarian Inn servers are much better looking physically than that frumpy worn-out looking bunch of ancient mariners at that Z place nearby. So pick the best, pick Bavarian Inn and your family will love you more for it!
