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.

He was friendly, attentive, and kept everything running smoothly despite our larger group. The decor was a lot of fun and really made us feel like we had stepped into Germany. It added to the overall experience and made it much more than just another dinner. We tried several different meals, including the Frankenmuth chicken, chicken schnitzel, chicken pot pie, chicken tenders, and a soft pretzel. The portions were generous, the food came out hot, and overall everything tasted very good. The fried chicken was especially crispy and flavorful, and the soup and fresh bread were also excellent. The only real disappointment was the spaetzle. It had way too much butter and ended up being very greasy, which overpowered the dish. Overall, we had a great family dinner and really enjoyed the experience. Between the atmosphere, excellent service from Mitch, and the quality of the food, it's definitely a place worth visiting while you're in Frankenmuth. We'd happily come back.

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.

Stopped at the Bavarian Inn to have some of the Frankenmuth famous Zehnder's chicken. (Both…read moreZehnder's and the Bavarian share the same recipe.) I opted for Michigan on Main bar/cafe not the main dining area as I was solo. The dining area is more Bavarian themed, but the food is the same. I had the 3 pc chicken meal (I guess you have to have it when in Frankenmuth). It was good enough but nothing spectacular. Chicken was moist and tasty, but again, not extra special. 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.

Come Hungry, but Don't Expect Authentic German Food…read more First things first--the amount of food you are served at the Bavarian Inn is excessive, so make sure you arrive hungry! We came to Frankenmuth specifically looking forward to good, authentic German food, and unfortunately, what we found here was a much more Americanized version. The food isn't bad--it's good--but if you've eaten traditional German food, you may find yourself a little disappointed. The schnitzel was dry, and the brown mushroom gravy was much more flour-based than we expected, with very little served over the meat. One of the things we love about traditional German schnitzel dishes is the rich, flavorful gravy generously served with them, and that was definitely missing here. It's hard to admit, but the best dishes on our table were actually the sides brought out and served family style before our main meals arrived. We enjoyed those more than the entrées themselves. Where the Bavarian Inn really shines is the atmosphere and service. Our wait staff was wonderful--friendly, attentive and very good at what they do. I just wish we could have been equally enthusiastic about the food. The portions are enormous, the experience is certainly unique, and the service is excellent. But if your primary reason for visiting is to find authentic German cooking, you may want to temper your expectations.
