Highest Ranked Michigan Restaurant on the List
Frankenmuth, MI (Restaurant News Release) The Bavarian Inn Restaurant, long considered one of Michigan’s most popular dining destinations, has again been named in the top 100 independent restaurants in the United States for 2019.
Restaurant Business’s “Top 100 Independents” ranking is a measure of the highest grossing independent restaurants from across the country. Only restaurants with five or fewer locations are considered independents for the purposes of the list. The final ranks are based on gross 2019 food and beverage sales and information gathered through surveys.
The Bavarian Inn Restaurant ranked #50 out of the 100 and is the top-rated restaurant in all of Michigan. In 2019, they served almost 900,000 meals.
“Our focus at the Bavarian Inn is always on serving our guests,” said Katie Zehnder Weiss, fourth generation owner. “Our family is grateful for our team members that work hard to create enjoyable experiences for our guests, many of whom have been dining with us for generations. We look forward to continuing the great family traditions we provide in Frankenmuth for years to come.”
