Great place to eat if you don't have a lot of time but don't want fast food! There is a fancier restaurant on the first floor, but we didn't want to waste too much time so we went to Z Chef's Café which is downstairs. It is set up kind of like a cafeteria where you get your tray and order food as you slide it along the food-serving counter. We always have to accommodate our numerous allergies (milk, eggs, peanuts, and tree nuts) and there were options for everyone! Rotisserie chicken was delicious and they were able to make a side of veggies without butter. It felt like a home-made meal and the staff was very friendly and attentive. When we were there you were just supposed to leave your trays on the table and the staff would clean it up. Would definitely come back next time we're in this lovely town!

If you don't have the time or the appetite for the full all-you-care-to-eat experience in the main restaurant at Zehnder's, then you should consider dining at Z Chef's Cafe. Exact same chicken; exact same sides; all the wonderful tastes of a Zehnder's Chicken dinner without it being too much. The mashed potatoes are like eating a cloud & the seasoning in the stuffing is divine. The chicken -- well, it's wonderful Zehnder's chicken. You too can be a part of eating the annual 900,000 pounds of chicken, 640 tons of cabbage, 180,000 pounds of mashed potatoes, 130,000 pounds of assorted vegetables, 40 tons of locally grown squash, 17,800 pounds of Michigan-roasted coffee, 26,000 gallons of ice cream, and 150,000 loaves of bread at Zehnder's!! Refillable drinks at the soda fountain.

We enjoy Z Cafe, you get the exact same food as you would if you were to sit down in the Zehnders restaurant (upstairs) but without the commitment to gorging yourself with an auc dinner lol. Perfect for smaller or larger appetites as you can choose how many pieces you'd like, or something different altogether. Since we like to spend an entire day in Frankenmuth & eat at some of our favorite spots, Z Cafe gives us the option to get our chicken & buttered noodle fix to fill us until our next craving in town. I just wish the dinner rolls were garlicy like they used to be, they were SO good before! Now they're just meh.

we were visiting from Canada on saturday nov 9 around 1pm, and it was the only place in the Frankenmuth area where the line was moving fast. Me and one person from our group were waiting in line and told the server when she asked that our group was for 5 but the rest are coming. She had it fully written down that our group was for 5 as i saw in her notepad. Once we were at the front of the line the rest of the party had arrived and she immediately got an attitude telling us we had to wait all the way at the back of the line again, even though it was very clear they were part of our group. While she was arguing with me, the other male server was screaming our name and saying "table for 5" over and over again completely ignoring us screaming loudly and waving trying to get his attention that we were here right in front of him. It was extremely rude, we waited in line just the same as everyone else. we made it clear the table was for 5, she had it written down for 5, the other server kept screaming our name proving that the table was for 5, all while this lady was arguing with us that we were supposedly cutting the line. The food was fine and the chefs/cooks were not as rude and were able to explain the way that the buffet/cafeteria works since we were very unfamiliar with this style of dining. I honestly would never suggest to anyone to come here, although the line moved fast i would have rather waited longer at a more...

On 12-20-2017 my sister and I went to cafe for sandwiches which we were getting to go at around 8 pm we saw large sign overhead reading order sandwiches here we couldn't see anyone working there so we went to buffet area to order we attempted to place our order with her and were told that there were people ahead of we apologized saying we didn't mean to cut the line at this time we were made to wait a very extended length of time standing at counter waiting to order then the same woman who told us to wait behind others at buffet now told us we had to order at area where we initially waiting she then was trying to get other staff members to make them again we were left standing unattended another female came up we attempted to give her our order she told us she doesn't know how to make sandwiches she walked away leaving us again asking a male employee to make them he did but when they were done and he still had bags behind counter he began this long conversation with other male staff member about their personal life until I went to counter to get sandwiches it is no exaggeration to say that we waited 40 minutes for meal at this time the original staff member was noted continually popping bacon into her mouth and drinking a beverage without washing hands or wearing gloves while...

I am NOT a picky person. I'm not food must be organically sourced and cooked in angel tears. I'll have the occasional fast food.

I have never been so disappointed with a meal. We paid $42 to feed the trash can. Mashed potatos, wild rice, green beans, stuffed chicken breast, rotisserie chicken were beyond fast food salty. Like my teen said, "What is wrong with this food. It's like eating a bottle of salt." salty. Even the dinner roll was salty tasting.

It was as if a 30 year unfiltered cigarette smoker with a massive head cold was adjusting the seasoning.

The cranberry sauce was always amazing. The coffee was really good. Potato salad wasn't a hit, but thats more because we like a different style. I don't know what happened to the rotisserie chicken. It was rubbery. How does one do that? I've had better rotisserie chicken from a big box store.

I know this isn't rabbit health food. Z Cafe was a meh when we visited a few months ago. This time EVERYTHING was over salted. We will not be back. I love Zehnders, but I could not choke the food down.

The service was great. Everyone was pleasant...
