    We had a great server Brandon. He was certainly the highlight of our meal. We enjoyed his service and his friendliness.

    We had a party of 10 and sat in the private room, which we requested when we got here. Our waiter went above and beyond for us and it was a great experience!!

    Great atmosphere. Food quality was excellent. Exactly what we expected for a German tourist dining experience. We were fortunate to hear an accordion artist while we dined!

    It was okay, but they were not very accommodating or quick. I was frustrated that we had to live our fold up stroller and that our 1 year old was charged 6.99 for dinner that he shared with me and 2.99 for milk.

    My Niece and brother are in town for celebration. My niece graduated from University of Maryland in March of 2025, with an MBA. We made arrangements in March to go to Frankenmuth to honor her achievements. I requested a round table for 12. We were placed in the Piper’s Alcove at an oval table that was perfect for our party of 12. All the food, drinks, service, atmosphere were second to none. I would highly recommend Bavarian Inn to anyone!

    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!
