    Bavarian Inn is an awesome place to eat. Waitresses and Waiters go over the top to make people happy. They give you food for an army but oh so delicious. It was my birthday and I also got a free meal and ice cream! You will be fully pleased!

    I have and will always state that if you are visiting Frankenmuth, Michigan, no visit is complete without going to Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Restaurant for a World-Famous-All-You-Can-Eat Chicken Dinner. Never have I had an issue, especially when I go on my birthday. The chicken is always hot, juicy and delicious. The sides that come with the dinner (mashed potatoes; buttered noodles; gravy) are always top notch. This trip is was a summer vegetable medley (not my favorite) as their famous blue hubbard squash (definitely my favorite) is not in season again till Fall. Service is always top notch and they treat you like family. If you are out and about in town and are stopping in during the week you can usually walk right in and get a seat without a problem. Weekends during the summer and as you get closer to the holidays I would definitely make a reservation so you can skip the wait, which if you do is well worth it every single time.

    The service was very very slow. So slow that my daughter didn’t get everything she ordered until everyone else was finished eating. :(
