It is more casual as the food is served cafeteria style as opposed to the restaurant. It wasn't the best fried chicken I've ever had, but it was decent - well seasoned and not dry. I was able to tell the server what pieces I preferred. Servers and cashiers were friendly. The meal was under $20, which isn't bad these days, but I still consider it to be a little overpriced. The meal was large though and I needed a takeaway container for my leftovers. I also had the clam chowder soup, and I think I liked that more than the chicken meal. It was thick and creamy.

We ordered a side of Caesar salad that was lacking flavor, my husband ordered fried chicken and said was better than the one from the place in front (IYKYK) I ordered chicken tenders because nothing else looked good and a side of rice ( ok) the biscuit they give you on the side was just really bad. So anyways I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place unless you are in a hurry and want something quick.

Worth Browsing, but I'd Skip the Food…read more Willi's Sausage is part meat market, part general store and part sausage diner--and unfortunately, it feels like it hasn't quite decided what it wants to be in the middle of a very tourist-focused market. We stopped in specifically hoping to get a good German bratwurst. What we received was much more like a hot-dog-style sausage than what we would consider a traditional bratwurst. It was good enough, but it definitely wasn't the authentic German brat we were hoping to find. It tasted more like something you might purchase prepackaged from a grocery-store deli than a fresh brat from a specialty sausage shop. We also ordered a pickle, which was actually very flavorful. It was served whole in a Ziploc bag, which was a little unexpected, and while the flavor was good, the skin was extremely tough. The biggest disappointment was the disconnect between the meat market and the food being served. With the sausages and other products displayed in the meat cases, based on their in store sign, we expected something fresh and house-made. Instead, our meal gave us the impression that many of the prepared ingredients may be purchased premade rather than being the same type of homemade products the market appears to specialize in. We sat at a quaint, little table where we were served after we ordered at the counter. The staff was nice but not overly friendly. There's an opportunity here to make the food counter a showcase for what's being sold in the butcher cases--fresh sausages cooking, great smells filling the store and customers getting to taste the products before taking some home. That would make the whole concept come together. As it is, I'm not sure Willi's has a firm grasp on its identity yet. I'd still stop in while exploring Frankenmuth to browse the store and meat market, but based on our experience, I'd skip eating here and look elsewhere for a good German

And although they have remodeled and have lost some of the "old school charm" we really like what they have done here! We were in town for Winterfest and were craving an "authentic" brat at a fair price and this place never disappoints. In the old days you could sit outside under a warming tent, no more... But what you can do now is sit inside at a table or the countertop, we are counter people! The staff are friendly and if you are looking for specialty sausage and all things related, this is the place for you. They also have adult beverages available to enjoy or take with. The brat was really good, with kraut and their own sauce which is a nice touch!

Today, we originally started thinking we would head over to the Frankenmuth Brewery, it has been a while since we ate here.Though no fault of their own, we decided after putting our name in to opt out. We had a great parking spot too. We then left and repaired 100 yards down the road. Probst has always been a great go to but we still weren't sold on going back. Wife said let's try Tiffany's and maybe sit outside. It was a beautiful day, why not. Our hostess Lynn was multi tasking but was kind and took our name, guided me to the outside bar and a minimal wait. From there Jacob maid my wife a Tito's and Tonic, me a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat beer. We weren't half way done with our drinks when Lynn said she had a table for us. Menu was simple, prices fair, service was outstanding, view of the street and passer's by spectacular. We opted for the turkey club and chips and my wife the German Kielbasa with peppers and sauerkraut. We did also peek in, and use the bathrooms- clean. Overall, glad we tried this place and definitely will be back.

The service was friendly and attentive. Now for the food. The food was good, but I was not overly impressed (hence only 4 stars). I had the Willi's Bratwurst that came with a side of potato chips. It's a local Willi's German sausage on a not quite hotdog bun. A bit of a disappointment. I was expecting a much larger sausage in a fresh roll. Shame on me for taking AI's recommendation to have a brat here (lol). Don't let my review keep you from going here, but just set your expectations low if getting the bratwurst.

A Pleasant Surprise and a Great Place to Take a Break…read more After several days in Frankenmuth, we didn't want to repeat any of the restaurants we had already visited, so we decided to give Michigan on Main Bar & Grill in the Castle Shops a try. There were very few guests at dinner time, so we weren't quite sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised. Our waitress was very kind, welcoming and efficient. We started with the pretzel served with mustard and beer cheese. The beer cheese was easily the highlight--we actually had to order a second serving because it was so good! For our entrées, we ordered the Grilled Cheese and the Smash Burger. The Grilled Cheese, served on ciabatta bread, really isn't what I would call a grilled cheese. It's much more of a tender short-rib sandwich with a little melted cheese. The meat was very tender, but it lacked seasoning and needed something more to bring all the flavors together. The Smash Burger was good and cooked well, although there wasn't anything particularly outstanding about it. What we really enjoyed was the atmosphere. Michigan on Main has a quiet, low-key bar feel that was a welcome change after some of the busier tourist restaurants around town. We enjoyed sitting near the front window, people-watching and having a chance to relax before continuing to wander around downtown Frankenmuth. Service was quick, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the beer cheese alone was worth the stop. A great little resting place for a casual bite and a drink while exploring the Castle Shops and downtown area.

I had it with a side of fried cheese tots that were tasty and some coleslaw that was ok but a bit too tangy. However, I'd still recommend dining here for the atmosphere, the service and the generally good food.
