This is probably an unpopular opinion, but Zehnders sucks.

Oh, I agree 110%, it's overpriced crap cafeteria food. But I don't mind Michigan on Main, adjacent to the Bavarian Inn. They have a decent beer selection to wash down that overpriced, under-seasoned slop! We stop in there after our rounds of golf at the Fortress. Happy wife, happy life! :hat

This just may be. I did a bit of googling.
Looks like Zehnders is run by different owners with the same last name.
Dorothy Zehnder and her family own the Bavarian Inn.

Rumor has it, the two restaurants are connected by a tunnel under the road and share a lot of the same food out of the same kitchen. I can't confirm this... but the food *IS* eerily similar. Those buttered noodles, though! #drool :8)

According to this article, second and third paragraphs, it's a myth:

It hasn't been good for years besides the bakery. Even that isn't what it was in the 90's....Bronner's is still nice though.
