    We went there today for my birthday celebration. The food was awesome. The waitress was friendly and did an amazing job. The reservation was perfect for the time and location of our table that I requested. I would highly recommend Zehnders Frankenmuth.

    Waitress needs to pay attention and listen. Brought wrong soup and then when we asked for a refill of chicken, she didn’t bring it, instead she brought us our containers and bags and said that once she brought those out she couldn’t bring us the chicken. That was NOT fair to us that she didn’t listen.

    We were able to enjoy the famous chicken of Michigan. I had the all dark two pieces of chicken with mash potatoes and dressing. The food was delicious. Our waitress name was Patti and she was very kind. She made sure we had everything we needed. They even have a bakery on the bottom floor. We got a turtle pecan brownie from the bakery and it was delicious. If you ever visit Frankenmuth make sure you visit this restaurant.

    The hostess whom I believe her name was spelled Myleken, is one of the things we were not pleased with. We had reservations at 2:00 and requested the table behind where she initially seated us. She said it wasn't available because there were no servers for that table. So, we sat where she seated us. 5 minutes later, we had not been approached by a server but she brought another group to the table we had requested. Really?? Ten minutes goes by and we still had not been approached by a server. Myleken was standing behind us talking to the girl next to our table. At the 15 minute mark, I got up and asked Myleken if we had a server? She very non-chalantly said "I, uh .......can check". Really?? She represents Zehnders poorly. She has no place being in a customer-facing position. Finally, Jessica comes out as a server. Jessica apologized, saying nobody told her that she had our table. She seemed genuine and did a great job. She did say that she wasn't told it was my husband's birthday, either. Please understand that this review is not about Jessica. She essentially saved the day. Conversely, somebody needs to have a talk with Myleken and teach her how to speak to people, not to act like guests are an interruption to her day and have her facts straight when people make a specific request.

    It’s always a pleasure to go to Zehnder’s for a meal. We typically get the family style chicken dinner. It’s always very good! This time we were seated and our family hadn’t been arrives quite yet. I am diabetic and started having a low blood sugar. Our server went and got me something to turn the low sugar event around and was incredibly sweet. Her name is Danielle. She took incredible care of us. Kudos to her for helping me through a potentially serious medical issue. We love Frankenmuth and Zehnder’s. Absolutely we’ll return.
