First time here and it wasn't for me. The Friday night buffet was chaotic at best. We came for a German meal and found fried chicken. Well, other people did. I didn't get any because of the free-for-all and the kitchen couldn't keep up. So, I paid 15 plus tip for a German meal and got a live accordion concert instead.Went and got Wendy's afterwards because I didn't get any food. However, if you like being uncomfortably close to strangers and you enjoy them bumping into you this is the place for you. If you enjoy a rude and pushy employee, again, this is the place for you. I believe they have nothing there worth returning for but, all of that said, please give this place a try. It wasn't for me but a lot of people seemed to enjoy it.Parking: People park along the side of the road and it makes the road into a one way street. I saw a car being backed down the street by on-coming traffic.

Warm and friendly, greeted when we arrived. Food was ready, hot, plentiful, and delicious. Very casual and comfortable atmosphere. Attentive volunteers took very good care of us. The accordion player was very entertaining. Good times. Will be back.

Friday buffet style German food this is a club, not a restaurant so expect casual.Banquet table seating, we got to meet another couple, fun.Accordion music helps authenticate the atmosphere.Sausages were grilled on the flat top and delicious.I'm particular about sauerkraut and red cabbage dishes. These rated high in my book.Both were tart and flavorful. The cabbage juice wasn't thick like some places. I like that, others may miss not having thick sauce and sweetened kraut but I loved it.Volunteer workers were friendly and kept tables cleared promptly.Pay with cash or check only.First time but not our last!

Great atmosphere, folks working the event are fabulous, good food and drink. Schnitzel night buffet style nice crispy cutlets of pork, plenty of sides and deserts available at extra charge. Offer lemon slices and a richer sauce would make this five stars fosho.

This is a wonderful Friday night buffet spot! Every Friday they have a small buffet featuring a menu of salad, bread and butter, a couple potatoes dishes, a vegetable, red cabbage, and either a German main course, like Schnitzel or ribs and chicken and stroganoff. We love it! It only cost $15. Did I mention they have giant beers $6 and teas $2? They also have a bake sale with pies.There is usually an accordian player offering up some great traditional songs too!This is a very busy place and you seat yourself. Tables are long hall style seating.Remember to bring cash or check. Credit/debit not accepted, but they do have an ATM if you forget.

Had our reception here this weekend (also members of the society and come for Friday night dinner). Mary and everyone went above and beyond to make everything go smoothly, and Chef Bob delivers as always and expertly handled a gluten free option for us with seperate preparation and servings. Highly recommend renting out for any gathering, seating up to about 130 people I believe. Great food and bar, stocked with plenty of imported beer. Thanks again!

Nothing like a restaurant. More like a cafeteria. Plastic plates and silverware. Credit cards not accepted. The food was disappointing. The quasi-German dishes were poorly made and a little more than room temperature. It seems that most of the people that frequent this so-called restaurant are regulars, and may be a members of a club of some sort. There is a little opportunity for friendly conversation, unless you sat at the bar. I definitely do not recommend this place as a destination for German food. Or any kind of food actually.
