Food was great. Our server Aaron was Friendly and attentive. Refreshed food as needed. Planned in advance, Santa delivered some mini stockings with personalized ornaments. Ages 9-38, they were surprised and enjoyed them. All in all fun experience!

We've enjoyed coming to The Bavarian Inn for years but this time, although the food was acceptable, something was missing. The portions for the family style meal were a lot smaller than they use to be and some of the dishes, such as the chicken soup and the chicken pasta salad tasted bland, as if they were missing something. I know that in this economy many businesses are trying to save money where they can but it feels like The Inn is cutting corners with their ingredients and their serving portions.

Very good authentic experience. Really liked the restaurant itself and the gift shops in the lower level. The pork schnitzel was very good.
