Oliver our server was awesome, the front door greeter Nick was awesome and very friendly, BUT the food was not to standard that it was when I was there a year ago. The cost of the meal has gotten so high. This is why my visit are so little.

Overall Zehnder’s was good. The staff is very kind. The food however was just ok. You do get plenty with the all you can eat, but some of the items are not great such as the mashed potatoes (they are not homemade) a bit disappointing. The main item (chicken) is good. Stuffing was not very good. Noodles were very good. Visiting Zehnder’s is just a fun place to see. Holiday decorations are wonderful.

It’s a nice place for the experience but the food is very mediocre. The last couple years, the portions they bring are small and prices keep climbing. The chicken is dry and tasteless. Not worth the price in my opinion. We also brought Apple fritters (from the bakery downstairs) home. If there was a slice of apple anywhere in it, I didn’t see it. Also very dry.

Had a very nice time there Celebrating my Birthday. Enjoyed the free Birthday Dinner. I do think $30 is a bit much for a chicken dinner. So our bill was $40 for 2 pops and 1 dinner. Plus then the tip. We only go once a year. I don't know how people bring large families there. Loved the holiday decor.

Amazing food! It has earned its reputation and then some, as a must, when in Frankenmuth. I have to say the cabbage salad was the best I have ever had. The chicken may be famous, but the sides are equally delicious. Staff was efficient while being very friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance was fantastic too.

Made reservations and got in early. There was a big crowd, but the staff was handling it like champs. Be prepared for a large loud room. Definitely not the place for an intimate dinner. Food service was quick. But, 1 order was good, the other (prime rib sandwich) came out inedible. The French bread was burnt on the inside of the sandwich, the outside looked delicious. Then the steak was charcoal under a delightful layer of cheese and onions. Our server was outstanding. Adjusted the bill accordingly. We would try again based on the service.

At first, the menu prices looked a bit high, but when everything came out i understood the reason behind the cost. The wait staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. So many complimentary sides and accessories were brought out before the entree, that I was almost full before even digging in to the main course, which was also delicious. A must try in Frankenmuth

We went the Saturday after thanksgiving which was super busy but still had an attentive waitress despite the crowds. We will definitely visit again but maybe stay in the area so we don’t have to drive home with full bellies.

We had 6 people in our group. Four out of the six people in our party ordered the chicken dinner and two had to order entrees due to allergies. From start to finish we were seated for 2.5 hours by the time we got sat down to skipping the dessert that was part of our meal because it was late we had to get going so we got the bill. In Addition, by the time the main course came out it was about 1 hours and 45 minutes. When the proportions came out they were small and had to ask for more. Not worried as my family doesn’t eat a-lot but wasn’t worth the $30 per person. The two things we asked more for was just more noodles and a couple pieces more of chicken. These each took about 15 minutes family doesn’t eat a lot of food as it is. Quality of food was ok but out of the yearly trips here. They quality of food is going down and this was the worst experience I have had.
