    We travel to Frankenmuth at least once a year before Christmas. It’s become one of my family’s favorite traditions. Always getting chicken dinner while we are there. The reservation process made it incredibly easy to make sure we had a table. Service was over the top and the food is consistently excellent. We will be back.

    We were in at 11 am and were surprised that the chicken they served us must have been left over from the night before. We have never had chicken that dry. Everything else was great. Old Chicken ruins the meal. I know its the holiday but at $30 per dinner you would think you would throw away the chicken from last night or make sandwiches out of them. Dont be the first one in.

    Had lunch in the Cowpath - only five booths, very quiet. Had Nancy as our server - have had her several times before - a real professional. As always, the food is very good - portions are large. Then downstairs to the bakery to get pastries to take home.

    Everything was good but the chicken was on the dry side. The vegetable was broccoli instead of the traditional Hubbard squash that is served in the fall.

    We go every year for the fun atmosphere. Two years in a row we have been particularly happy with our server. Servers are sweet and very good interacting with children. They listen to special requests and accommodate to enhance the experience however they can. Jason at the meat cutting station brightens the whole room with his cheerful interactions and obvious love of people.
