- RRichardDetroit / Eastern Michigan •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI first ate at the Bavarian Inn in spring 1980 while on a 1-day field trip with my high school German class. I' didn't make it back again until 2012, but this is now my 4th time back since then, and first time since 2019. I can't manage an all-you-can-eat chicken dinner anymore, so I ordered the sauerbraten dinner. Started with white/fruit bread, 4 salads (chicken, carrot, cranberry-apple, and cole slaw), and chicken noodle soup. The dozen slices of sauerbraten came on a large metal platter with 3 potato puffs and 3 sides (sauerkraut, noodles with breadcrumbs, and squash). Dessert was a dish of vanilla soft-serve ice cream. I also got a 22 oz mug of homemade root beer. Everything was excellent, as usual. I sat in the Bavarian Room, which has murals of Grimm's fairy tale scenes painted on every wall (I have the Snow White and the Seven Dwarves corner). Service was great, I had plenty of time to eat everything. A family with 2 small kids was at a nearby booth and their waitress was doing a great job. I made reservations for 4:15 PM on a weekday to beat the rush. The Bavarian Inn is one of the 3 reasons to come to Frankenmuth (the other 2 are Zehnder's and the fudge), and has never disappointed. Between the Bavarian Inn and Zehnder's, I prefer the Bavarian Inn, mostly because they have many more German dishes on their menu. $32 meal, $7 root beer, excellent value. Will eat here at least once more before my vacation is over.More infoFrankenmuth Bavarian Inn RestaurantPrice: Moderate• German• Frankenmuth•4.6

The food and drinks were amazing, and the attention to the allergies at the table was great. They brought out the cutest birthday dessert as well, and a N/A cocktail to go with it.More infoProst Wine Bar & Charcuterie - Bay CityPrice: Expensive• Wine Bar• Bay City•4.8
