The Fischer Platz is the outdoor area of this fine restaurant which is known for their famous chicken dinner. You can choose some of the same menu items from the small outdoor menu for a lot less money. We had the Frankenmuth Style Chicken Dinner and the Wiener Schnitzel dinner with a couple reasonably priced 24oz beers ($5/ea) and enjoyed listening to live polka music in the shade. It was very good. less

The food's good. While those who've been to Germany skoff at the authenticity, it is the atmosphere that is the driving force here. Dining at the Bavarian Inn is practically an event.They've skimped on the portions the last couple years, it seems, but the food is good enough to let that pass. Outstanding chicken soup, and don't pass on those rhubarb preserves they serve with your stollen before each meal. less

Stayed at the motel so got a 1/2 off coupon thank goodness for the price. Chicken was not the best I've ever had. Not much for a chicken breast, they seem to cut them in a 1/4 piece. Canned veggies, canned gravy, instant taters, pastey nood ... more

Stayed at the motel so got a 1/2 off coupon thank goodness for the price. Chicken was not the best I've ever had. Not much for a chicken breast, they seem to cut them in a 1/4 piece. Canned veggies, canned gravy, instant taters, pastey noodles, mrs. grass soup or compariable, hard bread basket, coleslaw rather odd taste. Waitress very nice, offered to go containers to take remaining eats home. Not apt to go back, Ponderosa, or another buffet would suit me fine and much better price for more variety any ways. less

I would love to know what is Bavarian about this place other than its name. If I ever give up the law, I may just open a German bistro or something just to show Americans what real German fare is all about. Not one person here spoke German, it was crowded and the service was slow. Good thing no one spoke German here, though, since I was able to converse with my dining partners auf Deutsch and make nasty comments about the food ... and no one knew. As I said to my host, "Ohne mich, " which is the German expression for "Count Me Out." Never again. less

Is there a tunnel tht runs under the street between this place and Zender's? This is a tourist trap that does make a decent family style fried chicken dinner. The rest of the "German" fare is not very authentic, but it's all in the fun. Expect ... more

Is there a tunnel tht runs under the street between this place and Zender's? This is a tourist trap that does make a decent family style fried chicken dinner. The rest of the "German" fare is not very authentic, but it's all in the fun. Expect long lines on the weekends and some difficulty parking. Fun for the kiddies. less
