They have a huge chocolate shop and a wine and beer shop selling German beers and steins. They have a little wine tasting area. The space is huge, easy to linger and find the perfect items to take home and remind yourself of the fond memories of Frankenmuth. My favorite bakery items: the butter horns, blueberry scones, the stollen bread and the Asiago garlic rolls! The prices here at the Castle shops are a bit more reasonable than the shops across the street at Zehnder's. The service here is also really friendly.

A friend had recommended the brewery and said they had good pub food so we decided to dine here. We dined outside on the patio and had a perfect view of the river below. We even ended up seeing the paddle boat as it docked!! I had a mocktail which contained housemaid watermelon juice, and ginger beer and was very refreshing. My nephew ordered a pizza with pepperoni and cheese, and I ordered the fish and chips. Both of us were shocked when the pizza arrived as its size was far from personal pizza size . It was at least a medium! You could tell it had been made in a pizza oven. The crust was nice and crispy and golden brown with a little bit of char on the back. Yum.!! My nephew who is somewhat of a pizza connoisseur said it was very good. It was loaded with cheese and plenty of pepperoni too. My fish and chips were supposed to be beer, battered in one of the ales that they make here but in all honesty it really didn't taste like it to me. It tasted like a standard frozen cod that had been pre-battered so I was disappointed. It wasn't that it wasn't tasty. It just was not what I expected. The coleslaw was also quite interesting. I'm not sure what it was made of, but it was not the shredded cabbage style, but I am used to -the french fries were french fries - nothing spectacular and did not taste like they had been fresh cut. I had asked our server what was more popular between the fish and chips and the schnitzel and she had advised the fish and chips were more popular and her own personal preference. We were both too full to even take a look at the dessert menu and again had plenty of food left over. My nephew took his pizza with him. Service was very good being outside. I know it had to have been kind of a pain to come and check on us periodically but our staff member did so with perfect frequency. I think I'd definitely return here to try a burger, but I can't recommend the fish and chips. My nephew definitely recommends the pizza.!!

The waitress was lovely. Does that get the place 3 stars?…read moreThe beer was mediocre. This was such a disappointment. The Dunkel wasn't as good as the mass-produced version I had earlier in the day. The other type was fruity was got sickening as it was too sweet. Still better than the standard American beer people drink but not good for this type of brewery. The Christmas Town Pretzel was okay. I prefer a standard pretzel, but others enjoyed it. The mustard was very good and the cheese wasn't bad. The Big Dipper was average. The shaved prime rib was rather dry, so the au jus came in handy. Overall, it was an okay sandwich but not one I would rave about. Overall, this town does not have good places to eat, so this could be your best offer.

He was friendly, attentive, and kept everything running smoothly despite our larger group. The decor was a lot of fun and really made us feel like we had stepped into Germany. It added to the overall experience and made it much more than just another dinner. We tried several different meals, including the Frankenmuth chicken, chicken schnitzel, chicken pot pie, chicken tenders, and a soft pretzel. The portions were generous, the food came out hot, and overall everything tasted very good. The fried chicken was especially crispy and flavorful, and the soup and fresh bread were also excellent. The only real disappointment was the spaetzle. It had way too much butter and ended up being very greasy, which overpowered the dish. Overall, we had a great family dinner and really enjoyed the experience. Between the atmosphere, excellent service from Mitch, and the quality of the food, it's definitely a place worth visiting while you're in Frankenmuth. We'd happily come back.

The interior decor is what you'd expect from the exterior: over-the-top (some might say "kitschy") German motifs on every wall. Authentic German? Not sure. But definitely fun. The food is decent.
