An awesome place! Fun atmosphere with great food, awesome menu & super friendly & helpful service. I had the Old World Sausage Sampler, came with 4 different sausages. All very tasty, my favorite may have been the spicy option. Came with great tasting kraut, German potato salad, apple sauce and a split bun. All very good. My wife had the Mama Reuben sandwich, she loved it. All of the ingredients blending well and complimenting each other made for one of the best tasting sandwiches. Don’t hesitate visiting the place and bring an appetite!

I’ll second another review I saw, this restaurant is totally different from anything I’d usually pick. Very, very worth it & extremely satisfied with the decision. The staff was friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered – entree, side, and dessert is made to a high standard and it shows. And tastes. I’d come back here in a heartbeat if I wasn’t leaving town tomorrow.

This was out of my comfort zone but I’m glad we stopped in! I wasn’t a big fan of my dinner but I will definitely be back for what my husband had!!! He got the cabbage roll and seriously this was amazing. The kids got pie and my husband got a cream puff they both loved it. I love the vibes in the place, super fun. The pretzel appetizer was yummy too. It’s worth a try for sure!

What a great time. This is in a little German community, with cute old houses. I went with a group of people and we were seated within 5 minutes of getting there. We got the pretzel nuggets with beer cheese and tangy mustard, I didn’t get a picture, because they didn’t last longer than a few seconds. I ordered the sausage sampler and it was great. We also had to get the famous cream puff dessert and good lord that thing was wonderful! If I’m in this area again I will be stopping by!

Food was more unique than other places which I really enjoyed. Staff were all very friendly that we encountered. We went as soon as it opened and within 30 mins the place was full. The pretzel nuggets were some of the best I’ve ever had kind of like if a funnel cake and a pretzel had a baby.

The restaurant offers a very neat once in a lifetime experience, from the esthetic of the building to the unique shops surrounding this restaurant. I loved the wonderful bratwurst plate as well the beer options. It was hard to choose what to go with as their menu offered so much. While I didn’t have a bad experience at this restaurant and our service was exceptional, I could not say it was all worth the wait time or that I would go to this restaurant again. I’m glad that I did go once and got to experience it!

SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE…WOW!! My wife and I traveled from Minnesota and wanted to find a good place to eat. At the airport, I found this place in the German Village and I’m so happy I did. The outside area is perfect to hang out and wait for your table. Once you get seated, you are immersed into German culture right away. Waiters are in German attire, they had an accordian and tuba player doing popular songs, and the food…..wow wow wow…so good!!!!!!

Honestly is been a long time I’ve felt I was at a genuinely good restaurant. This made me feel like I was right in Germany! The service is really quick considering the volume of people they are dealing with. The food was simple and fantastic. Keeping it very traditional. I’d recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for something authentic.

The veal was so tough I could barely cut it with the serrated steak knife and it was so hard to chew. The point of veal is the tenderness which they destroyed. The spatzle was flavorless, greasy, and tough. My husband’s beer cheese was cold and flipped on. The only thing truly tasty was the bier and the cake. I wasted so much money on this meal. So much for rave reviews. I only received an apology from the waiter and not management. I will never go back again. They should be ashamed of destroying an expensive piece of meat. I feel like I even wasted my time driving 2 hours there and 2 back.
