    Place is super close to the gift shops, love that they have a outdoor patio! We had a pretty large party and we were seated pretty fast. The complimentary cornbread they served before our meal was a bit dry, even with the butter it was just okay for me, not a huge fan of it. I tried the giant burger that I kind of regret lol, I wasn't able to eat it only maybe 1/4 of it. The brisket in it was amazing tho! Next time I'll stick to a brisket meal. Also tried the spicy chicken sandwich and it was delicious, perfect spice and the chicken stayed crunchy even with the sauce on it.

    All I gotta say is come here the service immaculate and the food 10000/10

    Get off Main Street and grab some GOOD food at Slo' Bones. This place is the bees knees for sure! Great food, exceptional service, very casual, plenty of parking, full bar and good prices. Not the tourist prices with crap food they are calling German downtown. I know German food and Frankemuth doesn't have it so don't waste your time or money to be disappointed. Slo' Bones is where it's at. The lunch specials are a great price for portion and done very well. We started with Burnt Ends. This are brisket pieces smoked and cooking in sauce (sometimes). I loved the flavor and portion was a great shareable for the three of us. I order the korean smoked wings. Mom had a combo and bonus dad had the meatloaf. The Korean wings were in a sweet Korean BBQ sauce - they are NOT traditional Korean wings. which was fine. I would have been shocked if they were anything but what I received. Slo' Bones is where we typically end up when we visit town, after a long day of walking around and need food. Get your protein load here!

    Good BBQ place in town. We came on $1 wings night and the wings are amazing. We also got ribs beans, greens, and sweet mashed potatoes. Everything was good. Wasn't super Smokey flavor but decent barbecue. Our food came out quickly. The waitress was nice and helped us order the right amount of food for the best price. The sauces were ok. My favorite was the Carolina mustard. They didn't have a "sweet sauce" and had 2 hots in the 5 sauce selection. I don't eat cornbread but my 5 year old liked it. Cool atmosphere and love the lighting. The pricing isn't horrible considering it's a restaurant in a resort town. Our meal was $40 and we had food left over. We'll definitely be back again.

    Bloody mary flight

    We came in for an early dinner on Saturday. Service was quick. Everything was super tasty and Everybody was nice and full. Good portions. Good location across the street from Riverplace Shops. The waitress was great

    Left over food on the menus from the previous customers which fell all over my lap!

    The hostess was very rude to me and my spouse when asking to sit at the bar, the couple that was in front of us complained about her as well. The menu still had left over food from the previous customers, the butter we had with our corn bread has a whole Piece of corn with it. The server was very nice, the manager seemed to be no where around when asking the server. Overall the day we came was not too busy compared to other restaurants and I would give 0 stars if possible

    An inflation dinner.

    Our family has come here quite often. We normally love eating here, but tonight's experience will probably be our last. Our waitress was wonderful, but outside of that a complete disappointment. I ordered the sausage platter and my husband ordered the $28 two meat platter. We were blown away by the ridiculous small portions he received. He had two chicken wings and maybe 1 whole sausage link. We asked for management and said there must of been a mistake. She said no mistake. This is their new pricing and portions. She was somewhat apologetic but no change was made to our food or bill. We also realized that the pork rinds (which used to be free) are now $8?! The portion size of that was a small basket.This used to be our favorite place, but we will not be going back

    Beer and fresh made pork rinds

    Evan , I think, our server was awesome. Friendly helpful and attentive. The food was awesome . My wife had the ribs and I had the smoked bratwurst. Both of our meals were delicious. The best , wink, was the in house made giant serving of fresh pork rinds! Delicious! Good beer selection too.

    I really hate to give a low score, however, to be fair to the next person who reads reviews to go to a restaurant, this needs to be said. The place is clean, the wait staff is very friendly, and that's about where they drop the ball. They get ready for views on their cornbread, and it is almost like eating yellow cake with cornmeal in it. I was very fair in ordering several things in order to give my review. The brisket was dry, the ribs were mediocre in flavor. They bit off the bone pretty good but that's where it stopped. The smoked turkey I have to say was the worst I have ever had. It was dry as cardboard and definitely had no flavor but smoke. I know Turkey doesn't have a lot of flavor to start with but I would expect that it wouldn't be like jerky. The sauces were nothing that stood out also. For the money I would say, save yours. I don't do this often but seriously, I think people candy coated their reviews for this place.

Making sure extra ranch dressing was placed on table and prompt service in checking to see if anyone wanted refills. Food was decent amount and atmosphere was pleasant! Craft beer list was plentiful and the menu offered selections for those who did not want the special of the day. The price was 14.99 however being in a "tourist" town that is normally a good price for the area.

    To be fair, we thought we were sitting down at the restaurant at the Bavarian Inn when we…read moreapproached the host here, but apparently the patio area is "Michigan on Main" a separate restaurant with a separate menu. I was initially quite disappointed about this, as we had already chosen what we wanted to eat from the Bavarian Inn menu and were ready for some schnitzel and authentic fare. However, we were already seated with our dog when we realized all this. I did ask for a Bavarian Inn menu and was told that was not possible and also told that the Bavarian Inn is not dog friendly but we were already there and we were hungry so we decided to stay and to give them a try. The patio seating is nice, although it was a little cramped and I was closer to other people and their conversations than I would have liked but the weather was good and so was the people watching. I started off with a Cinnamon Toast Crunch from their drink menu but it was underwhelming. The menu is quite small with limited options so I ended up ordering a Pretzel charcuterie board and my husband had their sausage duo. The presentation was simple and could even be described as economical on their part. The food itself was fine for the most part. There were a few things didn't care for the flavor of like the little sausages, but fortunately for me my little pup was happy to take them off my hands. I really liked the jam served on the side of my meal and the mustard was too die for! (I actually ended up buying some to take home it was so good) My husband said his meal was fine. There were some bees or wasps that were bothering people and they did become quite annoying, especially towards the end of our meal. I kept shooing them gently, but they were persistent and when they started to bother the lady next to us, she became incredibly frightened. If you have a fear of bees or wasps, I definitely would not recommend dining here. All that being said, it was about $60 after tip for our meal and while it was perfectly adequate given the options available to us at the moment, I don't think it's anywhere that I would go out of my way to revisit.

Our server, Tanner, was genuinely kind and welcoming, which made a big difference. The table was set nicely when we arrived -- wine glass and water glass, silverware wrapped with cloth napkins on a side plate, and a candle lit off to the side. It felt thoughtful and perfect for a date night. We split the French Onion Soup to start, and it was delicious. Maybe a little pricey at $12, but it came with lots of cheese and bread (plus bread on the side), so it felt worth it as a starter. My boyfriend ordered a Long Island Iced Tea -- strong, but no complaints there -- and I got cranberry juice. Both drinks came out in the same glassware as the water, styled like cocktails, which I actually appreciated. No weird "different treatment" if you're not drinking alcohol, which is always a plus to me. We also did the Build-Your-Own Board, which was really fun, and Tanner was super helpful in guiding us through the choices. We picked Summer Sausage, Garlic & Herb Soft Cheese, Smoked Gouda, Fire Roasted Tomatoes, and Balsamic Onion Jam. The Fire Roasted Tomatoes were SO GOOD, and I usually don't even like tomatoes. They were soaking in olive oil (I think?), which had great flavor and paired perfectly with the bread and Garlic & Herb Cheese. I also really enjoyed the Balsamic Onion Jam, savory, slightly sweet, and a little goes a long way. Overall, everything tasted great. I was a little disappointed in the portion of Smoked Gouda compared to the soft cheese, especially considering some soft cheeses can retail around $30 per pound. If you're looking for the best value, you might consider a different cheese option. That said, extra bread was only $1, which felt like a great deal for the amount we received. We were honestly getting pretty full and almost couldn't finish it all. We were seated in the cellar area, which was okay, just a little small, and the music was pretty loud. Not ideal for a Valentine's date when you're trying to have a conversation. Random but important: the bathrooms were spectacular. Individual, spacious, very clean, nice sink setup, pump soap, automatic paper towel dispenser, and even a candle lit. Honestly, 10/10 bathroom experience. Overall, it's a really solid date night spot with great service and good food. Just a couple small tweaks (music volume and cheese portions!) would make it even better. We'd definitely come back.
