As a surrogate German, I approve. The menu is a bit more Eastern European rather than true Deutsche but it’s awesome. I went with your basic schnitzel with spaetzle which I think they make in house. They could do better with the red sauerkraut recipe. All exactly what you would expect in the foothills of Bavaria, with the German biers on tap. It’s got a good vibe, the service really try’s to make you feel appreciated and it was a great experience. And Oktoberfest is coming up!

This place is a gem. From the frosty pints to the home made sauerkraut, it brought back memories of visiting a German brewhaus. This is a family owned and operated business with Mama Milka in the kitchen. We had very attentive service, although it was quite busy. Get here early as people pile in!

What an amazing spot. Not fancy but great atmosphere. The service was so awesome…any weird requests we made were greeted with a smile and a “happy to do it”. The cucumber salad was so flavorful and fresh tasting. The beet salad was huge and so yummy, generous amounts of feta and beets and walnuts. We totally changed the sides and sauces with our schnitzel orders with no problem or eye rolling. The schnitzels we got aren’t the platter size ones you sometimes get, but so flavorful and the lemon caper sauce, the mushroom sauce and the cranberry sauce were all great additions to the pork schnitzel we ordered. If you are confused about “ripped” potatoes on the menu… don’t think…just get them! Wanted to add to my review ..the kraut was more like cooked cabbage…not as vinegary as we expected…also the onion rings at the next table looked amazing!

One of my favorite places to go when I’m in town. Steins of beer and schnitzel for dinner. Love the Octoberfest pretzels when they have them. Great service as well!

Brunch at my favorite place in Palm Desert ️. The eggs Benedict is to for for, full of flavor and creaminess. Avocado toast was a perfect start to the day.

My parents have been coming here for quite a while, and have been raving about their food. I finally had a chance to join them, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is very cute. It’s kind of rustic Western meets the Alps. The food was delicious! I had the Jaeger Schnitzel and loved it so much! Their spaeztel is a little bit more seasoned than I’m used to but it was very tasty as well! The service was great. I will definitely be going here again!

Not sure where to start, everything about this restaurant is amazing! I came for my third time tonight. Had the Alps Schnitzel and it was so good! I have also had their Jaeger schnitzel (which is equally amazing) and their apple streusel each twice! I can’t say enough about the friendliness of the staff here. I was greeted at the door by the owners who also waited our table. The food was delivered quickly, food was hot, fresh and everything has so much flavor! I used to live in Germany in the 80’s and I travel for a living and this is hands down the best German food I’ve had! I will absolutely be coming back to try more of their menu items and I will bring as many friends and family as I can! Thanks for the good time and the amazing food!

Amazing! My grandma is eastern European and I grew up having home made cabbage rolls as a kid. I hadn’t had them at a restaurant in years but this restaurant was really good!
