Real German food, the Snitzel was wonderful. I normally get the brats, but I will stay with this. The tenderloin was huge. Real noisy at 9pm. Left and didn't sit and talk with friends because of it. If you like pretzels it is huge and really good. It was busy and not any parking.

I'm from out of state. First time here. So many drinks options. All of which look so good. The food was amazing. My compliments to the kitchen. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting. The woman bartending was extremely helpful and kind, very professional. Good music too. :) I truly enjoyed my experience here.

Beautiful restaurant and sweet service. Do not order a burger though. I had one of the worst, most dry, and obviously microwaved from frozen burgers at this restaurant. I was too hungry to send it back and wait again, so maybe just get a beer from here and leave.

Always Excellent German food. We enjoyed fried muenster cheese, Weinerschnitel, chicken schnitzel, German potato salad, sauerkraut, and red beets. Autumn was a great and friendly server. Their servers are always very good or great; management is great here too as staff is well-trained and experienced.

No complaints. It's kind of spendy, but I figure that's to be expected at a German restaurant.

Excellent food with generous portions. Friendly staff and the atmosphere is quite fun with the German decor. Highly recommend the German chocolate cake and their giant pretzels.

Stopped there for the third time and for the first time was very disappointed. Got sat down and was completely ignored after that. Waited 20 minutes and walked out. I will say my first 2 experiences were good and the food was excellent

Amazing cheese sticks!

It’s a great place to get your “German fix”! The beer selection is amazing, the pretzels are great, but the food is so-so. It would also be better if the music was appropriate for the German atmosphere.
