This restaurant had delicious food and a fun atmosphere! The gift shop was fantastic as well. There was definitely a lot of history in the restaurant. You can learn about the restaurant as well as the town of Frankenmuth.

This place has been known for their chicken for many years. We were brought there by some relatives that grew up in Michigan and had returned for a high school reunion from 50 years ago.They gave us a great tour of Michigan and we stopped and eat here after visiting the Christmas store in this town. The food was just... More

I LOVE the family style chicken dinner and everything that comes with it. Yes it is a little pricey but you should never pay full price since there are tons of coupons floating around the internet all the time. Sign up for their free rewards program and get add'l coupons and a free meal in your birthday month.

We visited Zehnder's in May for dinner. We made reservations weeks before, as we didn't want to be disappointed. Upon our arrival we were seated promptly. At Zehnder's they bring you a lot of food. The meal started with chicken noodle soup (a bit bland for my taste, but nice and hot.) We had 2 types of bread, a strawberry/rhubarb... More

We went this past Sunday and were pleasantly suprised by ordering the buffet instead, you get all the regulary style family dinner fixings , plus more! There was extra meat, breads and dessert table for only $2.00 more per person. What helped is that I had a 30% off coupon and that was so worth it. Pretty much the only... More

The chicken was a huge let down. Honestly our corner gas station has better chicken. No flavor and very dry! Now the noodles and stuffing I had as my sides were ok. The stuffing tasted like Stovetop. If you want flavor try KFC or your local gas station.

I’m very sorry you didn’t enjoy your visit. Over thirty years ago we removed all of the MSG, which is a flavor enhancer, from our chicken and the rest of our food. We serve a very lightly breaded, lightly seasoned chicken, and we also provide our chicken seasoning on all of our tables for our guests who’d like a little... More

Chicken dinners are just that but this place was somewhere that I was told was a must visit facility. The staff was incredibly nice and the food was good but the stuffing has too much spice or something in it :)

We've eaten at Zehnders plenty of times, but this was the first time we did the Sunday buffet. WOW! It was sooo good. You get all the same food you do with the family style dinners plus lots of other options. The carved turkey was falling off the bone and was amazing. The roast beef was very good. I enjoyed... More
