    We love this place! The dinner is an experience, from the moment you step through the doors. Every single person is welcoming and friendly. There is always live music to set the mood in the restaurant. The chicken is legendary, with all the fixings you can’t go wrong. We do a family dinner here at least once a year! Make the trip to this iconic town and definitely eat here! Delicious food with friendly people!

    Always busy. Had reservations, but sat 20+ minutes after set time. Lady who was in front of us had her reservation for 30 minutes later than ours, showed up early... and they sat her before us. Odd.

    This was our first time attending the Bavarian Inn Restaurant and it was amazing! Autumn, our server, was absolutely amazing as well! She answered all our questions and even was willing to move us to another spot to help accommodate us. The food was delicious and well worth the price! We would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant, we will be dining again!
