It was busy on the Friday night we went but that didn't affect our service. Love the atmosphere and there were so many things on the menu I wanted to try! I ordered the pretzel crusted sauerkraut balls, you only get 4 but they are a decent size and like a fried Reuben, so good! And for my entree I had the veggie Spaetzle which was really good too! My friend had the black forest schnitzel which I tried and the sauce was really really good! I definitely want to try some more things from their menu next time.
I lived in Germany for a year and can vouch the food is very legitimate and close to authentic. Drinks are awesome and priced very fair. The burger we ordered was humongous but really delicious. Service was awesome but a bit slow. Will definitely come back regularly.
The food was great and good service. They were busy on a Saturday night and we still felt well taken care of. We had raspberry framboise to drink which was great accompanying the strong but delicious flavours of the food. Portions were huge. It was starting to amp up for the night crowd when we left but looked like a pretty fun place to have some drinks with friends.
