Frankenmuth
Where it all began
Our original gathering place on Main Street. Make an afternoon of it, settle in for dinner or meet someone you haven't seen in too long.
A place to gather. A reason to Prost.
A glass raised. A plate passed. A conversation that carries on a little longer. At Prost, the best part of the evening is the people you share it with.
Meet Zak & Korina
A little adventure. A lasting idea.
Prost began with Zak and Korina McClellan and a simple question: what makes a restaurant a place you want to return to?
Their travels had given them plenty of inspiration—not just dishes and wines, but the feeling of being somewhere genuinely welcoming. After marrying in 2013, they set out to create that feeling in Frankenmuth.
A former Mac's Fudge Shop became the setting for something new. Sommelier and restaurateur Mindy Lopus, Chef Steve Grostick and mixologist Thomas Miller helped shape the original wine, food and cocktail experience. In August 2014, Prost opened its doors.
The idea was never only about what was on the table. It was about what happened around it.
Rooted here. Growing together.
Our story, still unfolding
From one idea in Frankenmuth to a second home in Bay City, the invitation remains the same: come in, get comfortable and enjoy being together.

More ways to gather
Explore ProstTwo restaurants, private gatherings, Catering and Luxury Travel offer different ways to make Prost part of the occasion.
More than what's in your glass.
Wine and charcuterie started the conversation. Cocktails, dinner and Sunday brunch give you more reasons to stay.
A board to share can be the whole plan—or the beginning of an evening. A familiar favorite can sit beside something you've never tried. There is room for a date night, a celebration, a catch-up with friends or simply a change of pace.
Behind every visit is a team bringing the food, drinks and welcome together. That human connection is what turns a restaurant into your place.
Two locations. One welcome.
