Bavarian Inn

Family Dining & Regional Attraction · Frankenmuth, MI

A beloved Frankenmuth institution famous for family-style Bavarian chicken dinners, homemade bread, and the iconic castle-like atmosphere. For generations, the Bavarian Inn has been a must-visit destination in Michigan's Little Bavaria, drawing visitors from across the state with its authentic German-inspired hospitality, from schnitzel and spaetzle to pretzels and strudel. Beyond dining, the complex features shops, lodging, and activities that make it a full-day experience.

Why We Love It

  • A true Michigan landmark — family-style Bavarian chicken dinners that have been a regional tradition for decades
  • The iconic castle-like atmosphere that makes every visit feel like a trip to Bavaria
  • More than a restaurant — shops, lodging, and activities make it a full destination experience
