The service and food were exceptional, surpassing my initial expectations of dining on Portuguese cuisine at Vinhus. After a disappointing experience elsewhere, I found myself questioning my 30-minute drive, but upon arriving at Checkers Old Munchen Germany, I was pleasantly surprised. The bartenders provided excellent service, and the food was delightful. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment. Additionally, the manager fosters a family atmosphere among the staff, which further enhances the overall experience.

We had reservations at Vinhus next door but walked out because of poor service and not getting waited on for 15 minutes. Walked next door to Checkers and we were waited on immediately and had a complimentary pretzel and mustard while we ordered drinks and our food! Staff was beyond amazing and the food was incredible! We are moving to the area and perhaps the restaurant next door could learn from the crew here!! Just moved to the area and we will be back with friends! Thank you!!

The food was very good… My son and I had two appetizers and two of the mid priced entrées and a couple of cappuccinos and it was right around 100 bucks… So a little bit on the expensive side but fine for special occasions For us

Great food and great service. Hard to find German food these days. Also a wonderful selection of German beer on tap. Ask them about daily specials!

I’ve been wanting to try this place and finally got a chance to. When you walk through the door, the decor is like a traditional, cozy, and rustic pub which makes it feels like you been transported to little German town. The service was EXCELLENT Rod took such great care of us, and since this was all of our first time trying German food, he helped point us in the right direction as far as drinks and food suggestions. To drink I ordered the Black Forest margarita, which was absolutely delicious my friend ordered schweinsteiger (German Mojito) which she really liked also. For my meal I ordered SCHWEINHAXEN PORK SHANK, it was perfect crispy and moist and for my sides I ordered the red cabbage and the spatzle. One of my friends ordered the BLACKFOREST CHICKEN with spatzle and mashed potatoes, and the other one CHICKEN PAPRIKA with the German potato salad(definitely a must try) and applesauce. Last but not least we got the apple strudel for dessert. Everything was very tasty and flavorful. There were so many things I wanted to try so we’ll definitely be back!

Why the downgrade?
Our family has been coming here for years as it reminds me of the time I lived in Germany, and your Briskett Stroganoff Special is excellent. Today the Spatzle side with cheese that we always order with our entree, tasted wrong - like cheese sauce. After questioning the server we learned that they are now using an Alfredo sauce on the Spatzle! Huh? That's not authentic German cuisine! A traditional German "Cheese/Kase Spatzle" is with Swiss cheese, not an Italian sauce.

Also, the Apple/Apfel Studel was warm and flavorful, but the crust should be a flaky pastry, not soggy. The schnitzel was as good as always, but overall it was a disappointing meal.

We probably had higher than reasonable expectations. I had 1.3 pieces of Rinderouladen in a tasteless cornstarch gravy with fried spetzle and a very vinegar red cabbage. The rouladen was tasty. My Aunt visiting from Hamburg had the sauerbraten with mashed potatoes and red cabbage. She said the heavy vinegar in the RC made the pork go down easier.
Her portion was large and all the food was hot.
The potato pancakes were very good. Service was good. We didn’t finish our meals and left without a much thought about desert…fearing it would be just as average as the meal.
