We were warmly greeted on arrival. The food was delicious and authentic; the Wiener schnitzel was close to what we’ve had in Germany, and there were several interesting schnitzel varieties on the menu. The spaetzle was very good, but garlicky. Salad bar was nicely presented, enclosed, clean, and with good choices. The apple strudel was outstanding and a huge portion, plenty for a couple to split.

Walked in and was greeted immediately. We were seated right away and informed live music would be provided. There were three of us and we ordered Sliced Sausages for an appetizer as well as potato cakes. A platter of sweet bread and white bread was served immediately. The sweet bread was amazing. We got a second platter along with our appetizers. The sausages were served on a bed of sauerkraut and pickles. The potato cakes came with sour cream and applesauce. We all took a trip to the salad bar. It was fairly typical with several options including a German potato salad and a carrot salad. The music started while we were eating our salads. The crowd applauded and also sang along with several numbers. My companions ordered the veal Wiener Schnitzel while I ordered the Pork Schnitzel. We all ordered Austrian Potatoes. Two of us ordered Sauerkraut, and the other ordered Ted Cabbage. The food was great! The Schnitzels were all perfect, as were the potatoes. The Sauerkraut was perhaps the best I’ve ever had, with a light touch of sweetness. It reminded me of my mother’s homemade sauerkraut from my childhood. We were all stuffed, but having a great time. The server checked to make sure we had everything we needed. We decided to try the deserts. The German Chocolate Cake was delicious. The Streudel was cooked to perfection and we had a slice of ice cream with it. This is a great place to meet with friends or family. The employees were attentive and friendly. The other diners were friendly without being intrusive. Everyone was there to relax and enjoy a good meal, which is exactly what was provided in a very fun atmosphere with some good entertainment.

Food is so delicious and we love the salad bar and beer flight! Servers are so welcoming and friendly. Most recently had the opportunity to enroll in their rewards program and cannot wait to visit more often.

Thank you Rudi for providing the location and meals for the community to meet and interact with our officers. The atmosphere of the restaurant is good with flags and arts. The food here tastes authentic. The dish that really surprised me is the string noodles with cheese. The string noodles they used are identical to what we call the long life noodles or birthday noodles for the Chinese. The event was really a success. I'll come back for the Schweinshaxe, sausages and the beer next time.

The place is absolutely gorgeous and very familiar, we went with a reservation and it was really packed. Friday there's live music which is even better. The attention was amazing and the food even better. I personally started with the German coffee with brandy, good Lord is exquisite, I had the cabbage rolls and they are really good. I love the fact that you can't tell from the outside how warm and welcoming it is when you get inside. 100% recommended and we definitely gonna come back. Ohh for Oktoberfest definitely the beer 🍺 is AMAZING!!!

What an amazing German restaurant! Took the family here and we had so much fun! Tiffany was our main server and she was great! The food was really really good! I highly recommend the Jalapeño Schnitzel. Also, the potato latkes are great! Oh, the Hungarian Goulash is superb…it was all great! There’s a good beer menu and the food menu is large. We went on a Sat for lunch and there was no wait. We will be back for sure!

We went there on Wednesday night. They have live music and buffet on Wednesday night. We have fun there. The food reminds me when the time I traveled in Germany and Austria. I didn’t order other items, but I saw people ordering different dishes and the portion was big. I saw people were there having fun and drinking beer. It’s such a wonderful place to have dinner and have a drink. I love the apple pie there. Recommend for enjoying a night there.
