zehnders-of-frankenmuth Menu and Prices

Zehnder's of Frankenmuth is the kind of store where you can't go wrong with bringing your parents. In the German town of Michigan, the entire store is a large wooden house. As soon as you enter the door, you will see rows of chicken dinners-fried chicken, mashed potatoes, dumpling bread, pickled cabbage, piled up all over the table. The portions are so large that people who go there for the first time will be stunned, but they can't stop eating. There is often a queue on weekends, which is suitable for family dinners or a group of friends to come over for a solid, brainless, German-style home-cooked meal.
