    The food was amazing. The service was great. Our waitress was super nice and the food came out fairly quickly. The place was clean and it had an old time look to it.

    Stopped in for lunch here today with the family as we do every year. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. And at the end of it all you can never complain when you get your bill and realize that it was very good value too. This place is a hidden gem. Keep it up DCS!! See you next year

    My family and I go to frankenmuth every fall before the craziness of Christmas comes out. & every year we eat in downtown frankenmuth & 99% of the time were forced to wait a stupid amount of time for mediocre food. So this past Saturday I asked my daughter if she wanted to eat closer to bronners to get home sooner. She agreed. We came to Dead Creek & man am I happy. We will be coming here every fall moving forward. Their chicken tenders & ranch are INCREDIBLE! It’s your local pub it seems like a place the locals frequent and I get why. The service was great. Everyone was so friendly. & it was cheap! I can’t wait to come back!

    Cannot believe in all my years of visiting Frankenmuth I never stopped here. The chili is to die for!!!! Add cheese, onions and sour cream and you’ll be in heaven! We also had a 10 piece wings which were super crispy, minimal fat. Also the patty melt was outstanding! Such a great surprise and absolutely ahhhmazing meal. Highly recommend! Cannot wait to return!

    I stop here every time I visit Frankenmuth, Michigan it's kinda like a warmup to having a good time in Frankenmuth. They have great food with daily specials, plenty of options of beer on tap for any taste plus a full bar, very friendly staff, great cooks who makes delicious food, and a wonderful laid back atmosphere suitable for for everyone including families with children. I rate it 10 stars out of 5...awesome place to visit and it will have you coming back again and again.
