    The food was not really that great and pretty expensive. I think the only reason people go here is just for the Frankenmuth experience. Although I don’t know why it ever became a thing because the food is on the low end of mediocre. I guess I can say I’ve been there and now I don’t ever have to go again. Same goes for the Bavarian Inn across the street. It’s exactly the same kind of food. You are paying for the serving staff to be dressed up in Bavarian style clothing. Won’t go again.

    I made reservations for 1:15 and waited maybe 10 minutes. The service, food and seating were great. Giving the restaurant was very crowded, everything was wonderful. Staff was very friendly and on top of things. The store was jammed but lines went fast, which was great. Happy holidays 🎄

    Zehnders is a traditional stop about 3 times a year. Everything about the restaurant and experience is always tops.

    Some of the food was really good. I was highly disappointed in my chicken noodle soup, not much flavor. The other guests with me tasted mine and it wasn’t as good as theirs. Also the chicken tasted like canned chicken- highly disappointed in that. The rest of the food was very delicious . The waitress was superior.

    Restaurant is overpriced and the food is mediocre. Mash potatoes tasted like instant. Chicken breast was tough and chewy. This place is living on its history and is a shadow of what it once was. If you want overpriced subpar food in a nice atmosphere this is your place
