It was our first time here and we loved it. Great German food and service. Excellent desserts! We look forward to our next visit soon!

As a follow-up we went back and had a second delicious dinner and we both got the sampler platter which has a big variety of things and it was delicious and looking forward to going back again on a regular basis.

Decent food when dining in. Tried ordering twice today - both orders canceled by the restaurant and not done s⁶o until 40 minutes later.... umm how the hell do you run a restaurant where you are canceling orders when they should be arriving???? Absolutely disgraceful. And when I dined in the hostess/cook/server pointed at me to close the door behind me.... how about you hire a handy man to fix your door or at least USE YOUR WORDS and ask me to close the door behind me. Pointing at me like a non verbal slob is disrespectful.

Dory was fantastic!
If she doesn't get a raise after this, then you all better do something about it. She was fantastic with our group, steadily checking in and keeping the area clear. I apologize for the kids, and thank you wholeheartedly for the patience she had when it came to keeping everyone's order in check.
The food and atmosphere was superb. It took a while, but we had a large group and it was expected. When the food arrived, it was hot and fresh! Couldn't ask for a better wait staff, but I do have 1 suggestion: please add a diaper change station in the bathroom. Otherwise it was an amazing first time dining here to eat some german food.
The cleanliness and decorations were beautiful. There's plenty of parking and open seating. The menu may be small, but the flavors are packed.
What I loved the most-outside of the beer- was the affordability of the food. We'll be coming back, and looking forward to the beer and seeing you again Dory!

The food was ok. Our waitress was very good. It's a nice little place inside. My food was a bit over done which made it kinda dry. I had the Rolanadine (beef roll) my friend had the goulash. Her's was much better.

If you love German food this is a great place to eat. Very nice interior and seating. All wood tables. Feels like a German gasthaus.

Truly a rare gem. Kind owners, authentic food, and a pleasant german atmosphere. Outside the store front versus inside is night and day.
