Five of us went to dinner and also caught some live music. The food was delicious, albeit on the pricey side - an order of fries for $14?! I’m thankful the portions are sizeable as I’ll be getting almost a 2nd meal out of my order (chicken cordon bleu). Pricing aside, the waitstaff seemed distracted - it took a while for our order to be taken; the wait for the food was fine and it came out nice and hot. But no one asked how the food was, if we needed anything, etc. for the rest of the night. I suspect more drinks might have been ordered, perhaps a slice or two of pie, etc. Overall a nice time with good food. Just be prepared to flag someone down every time you need something.

Used to come here regularly, but hadn't since the pandemic. Happy to say this is still a great choice for authentic German food. Service is friendly and efficient. Actually better than in old days. Great selection of German beers. Good cocktails. Prices reasonable considering the generous portion size.

We had my husband’s birthday celebrated here. Their food is oh so good and the drinks are amazing. Try the juicy sand tender roasted pork and tri tip. The cheese beer sauce was delicious. Service is excellent!
