We went when they first opened for the night, so there wasn’t a wait. You can make reservations. The food was good. I especially liked the herb butter. The pretzel was nice and hot. The cream sauce for the lobster ravioli was not too red pepper-y, which I’m fine with. Definitely left full. There was a live band and dancing (if you desire).

First time trying German food but I was not ready for it to be so good! The bread and butter seemed to be made straight from the kitchen and I have literally never tried bread like this! I can’t believe even the bread was super good. We ordered the Jäger Schnitzel and the Hungarian Goulash which both were just really beautifully tasty. The Schnitzel especially with the mushroom cream sauce was just straight from heaven. Their pasta and red cabbage really complement the food well. Really captures the sweet and savory flavors and blends them in a mouthwatering way. Our server was a very friendly and humorous guy and made our experience even better!

Great food and portions! I really enjoyed the schnitzel as well as the goulash that was suggested. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. The young lady on the organ played music from her hometown and offered to play and song requests.

Absolutely amazing, can be a bit pricey but definitely worth it. The staff is super welcoming and helpful, the atmosphere is very relaxing and lots of history and things to see. Sunday nights they have a piano player and there is a dance floor, the beer is just as those you can get from Germany, and the food is outstanding and again tastes just as if you were in the Country of Germany. This place took my husband and I back in time. Highly recommend.

This is a real German place. Being American, I could barely pronounce any of the words but my peers could. The musicians are lovely. Very humorous. Their favorite dance is the Chicken Dance, so your family as be active during the meals. You aren’t ever really bored. They beer portions are unbelievable. We asked and they just said: “Your in a German Restaurant”. They do have a sense of humor. The food was really really amazing. It is definitely worth it. Desserts are huge and filling. We would love to return to this convenient place again.

Atmosphere is awesome and the German music playing adds to it. The owner Kenny is very friendly and hospitable. We tried many things on the menu and all were great. Especially loved the sauerkraut with the sausages! Plenty of beer options available and big 1L mugs.

A fun experience overall, but painfully slow; we waited well-over an hour for our food. The food was tasty with a bold spice pallet. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, with generous portions, so no complaints on quality, once we actually got it. We might have walked out if it weren’t for the charming piano player who kept the kids entertained and dancing; that guy deserves a raise and is a real crowd pleaser.

The food and the service were fantastic. My wife and I, along with two daughters and husbands each picked something different. I think hands down anything with their mushroom gravy sauce was a clear winner. Everything was so delicious. The beer selection was great too!

It’s the Denny’s of German food. Nothing was great. Very little to complain about.

We rolled up for an early dinner at 4:30 PM with the little one in tow. Initial impressions from the empty derelict parking lot / abandoned “shopping center” were immediate red flags. Walking in the door there was a certain stank that usually indicates I’ve found a good dive bar so I was somewhat hopeful. Staff was super friendly and attentive so 5/5 marks there. We ordered two pretzels, potato pancakes to start. Nothing special but also not bad. Two of three beers ordered were on draft, only one was out. Those on tap were cold and fresh. Prost.

Salad and bread were unremarkable. I ordered the sampler platter and wife had the chicken schnitzel. The only standout bad item in the platter was the potato salad. In no way did it resemble any form of German potato salad I’ve had at home, seen in a recipe, or had at other German restaurants. There was an overpowering presence of mustard. Shrug. Kraut was the sweet brown style, not my favorite but pretty decent for the style. Spaetzle was a little over cooked but otherwise passable. Sausage was good, jagerschnitzel sauce again good. Portions were middling.

Apple strudel “tasted like a McDonalds apple pie” (not a complement) and the black forest cake was stale.

The entire experience left me feeling like this was a super cool place to eat, 20 years ago but is resting on their history and ambience instead of execution. Atmosphere was a little flat even when the place started to fill at 5-6PM. If you just wanna satisfy a hankering for German good and some good cold beer this place will get this job done but you don’t have to look hard to find better executed German food. I’m probably being a little harsh but have high standards for German when it comes so highly recommended.

I had a fantastic time here! The Schnitzle was awesome and I could have drank the mushroom gravy out of a thermos. The servers were very friendly, the host was a sweet little girl, a lady was playing piano during my meal. I got a very big family joint vibe here and I dug every minute of it
