    I asked if we could be seated in a quiet area so we could talk and catch up with family and they delivered! Food was great, our server was pleasant and took good care of us. Thoroughly enjoyed our Easter dinner!

    We came here for Easter with a reservation at 1 p.m. We came a little early and were seated right away. Food, service and ambiance were excellent as usual. They even had a lady playing the accordion which added to the ambiance. We come here at least 1-2 times per year and everything is always so good. One of my faves is the cranberry relish and the fruit bread they bring to the table. Well done, Bavarian Inn!

    We had an amazing experience with our family for an early Easter dinner! The chicken dinner gluten free is still pretty amazing! The kids meal was excellent! We had a great experience and it was cool to see Hoppy come table to table.

    The food is delicious, fresh and comfort food at its best. I enjoyed the ambience, accordion playing and just the atmosphere in general. Glad I made a reservation because the lunch crowd picked up quick. I had a absolutely wonderful waitress and everyone was attentive, warm and funny. They truly value customer experience.
