Dining
Bavarian Inn Restaurant
Immerse yourself in Michigan’s “Little Bavaria” and take in a world class dining experience. Since 1888, tens of millions of guests have enjoyed home-cooked meals fresh from our kitchen. While we are renowned for our World-Famous “all-you-can-eat” family-style dinners that feature platters of our premium golden chicken, our dinner and luncheon menus also include authentic German dishes such as Schnitzel and Sauerbraten, as well as steak and seafood options. We didn’t invent comfort food, but we have perfected it! There’s a reason why we were voted “Most Kid-Friendly Atmosphere” by readers of Great Lakes Bay Magazine.
