    We have been going up to Frankenmuth for over 40 years for birthday and holiday celebrations. It is still something we look very much forward to. The food, service, and atmosphere are always wonderful experiences for us. After that, we walk the town and visit many of the little shops and businesses along the way. Thanks to everyone who work hard to keep Frankenmuth so clean and beautiful. It seems like there is always something NEW to see.

    The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The food is delicious with lots of sides. Our table members ordered a variety of German dishes that they enjoyed. I had the fried chicken. I am from the south and this was some of the best fried chicken I have ever eaten. The server was very efficient and a lot of fun.
