Love the noodles. You will enjoy
Service was spectacular. These folks were so busy from the dog Olympics in town. But every employee here was delightful and helpful and patient. The food was delicious as expected. Thank you!
I love the fact that they delivered our anniversary cake right to us at our hotel in Zender's splash village and it was so delicious!
Great visit. Very nice place
Zender's famous chicken but at a lower price. The food is all about comfort style. Fried chicken with stuffing, creamy mac and cheese, butter noodles, mashed potatoes and gravey, biscuits. If you're ready for a hardy meal, you will find it here. It is cafeteria style, walk down the line and pick up what you want to place on your tray. You can then find any seat and leave your tray on the table after for clean up service. The downside is it is in the basement, so it does feel dark at times since there are no windows.
Friendly people and good food. I really appreciate the eco friendly takeout container and the buffet associate’s attention to detail. Takeout users be warned, though: while the chicken and potatoes are amazing at any temperature, the noodles must be eaten when they are still piping hot.
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.
Always a pleasure to eat dinner with friends and family
They need to check the temperature of their food that's on the line. Pretty disappointed ☹️
Always love stopping here for lunch. And getting my chicken seasoning.
Same great chicken as their restaurant upstairs
Great chicken dinners. Many sides to choose from.
Had lunch in the Cafe today. Will not be back. Got the 2 pc chicken meal with 2 sides. My chicken breast was super dry, buttered noodles overdone. Not worth the price. Super disappointed!
The portions have gotten smaller and the price larger. Not worth the money. My husband got sauerkraut and it was so salty he could not eat it. I informed them of the issue and they chose to ignore it. We used to take our out of town family there often but will not do so any more.
Quick chicken and sides. Same as upstairs, just more convenient. DO NOT come here if on a diet.
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!
Love love love the marketplace and I won't leave town without a Hazelwood sandwich!
Great selection and food with friendly staff. Dining area was clean and well-maintained
Had the 3 pieces chicken dinner for my birthday and they also gave me a coupon for a free ornament
I guess when you show up late in the evening you can expect the food not to be that fresh and just a lukewarm.
