What a lovely find! We had a friend in from St. Louis to visit over the weekend. We took him to several places within an hour's drive of our home. While in French Lick walking around we got hungry and stepped in for a meal. Now I thought to myself, with such reasonable pricing, the serving sizes must be small. Boy was I wrong! I thought I ordered a small salad. It was huge with all kinds of vegetables cooked and uncooked. Jim's order was huge! And it was so good he ate every bite!

Authentic and delicious. Worth the drive and the price. Atmosphere is so homey.
Went tonight with my wife. We ordered Grosse Platte, receiving almost every item on the menu. Portions were great and food was excellent. When we arrived 90 minutes before closing, the restaurant was very slow. While we were there, a group of 16 came in, along with several smaller groups. The ONE server handled everyone incredibly... we never felt neglected, and she was literally RUNNING through the restaurant taking great care of everyone. The only complaint was that the restroom area needed to be cleaned and the area repaired.

Vegetables were straight out of the can without any seasoning, flies were buzzing in the dining room. Waitress was pleasant enough but missing a front tooth.

Vegetables were straight out of the can with no seasoning. At the height of summer, the tomatoes were gassed, field tomatoes. The German red cabbage was also cold right out of the can. The schnitzel was passable. The rahm gravy tasted like it was out of a can, also. Our waitress was missing a front tooth.

Food was less than cafeteria quality. Flies were nearly always interrupting a forgetful evening. Place needs an upgrade seems old and dingy.

Our go to place when we want to impress any of our friends and family.
German Café and Restaurant in French Lick, Indiana is a quaint, family-owned restaurant with great food and a friendly staff. The giant pretzel was the best I’ve ever had. The goulash witha rich paprika sauce and spätzle with polish sausage were excellent. The sauerkraut was delicious as were the slaw, and red cabbage. Great little café, worth the drive!

Disappointed with the whole experience. My food was so bland and when I told the waitress, she said that’s just how it is and compared it to Mexican food which she also finds bland but she didn’t offer to remove or replace it. We traveled from out of town and have a German restaurant locally that does it significantly better so I know it’s possible for German food to have flavor. Maybe if I’d ordered beer like everyone else I’d find the food more palatable than 3 bites.
It also ruined the atmosphere that the waitress’s son was running around the restaurant on a toy horse, interrupting other diners and making noise. If you can’t get childcare, at least have your child under some control.

First, our waitress was great and extremely friendly. She moved us to a better table after we were put at a 2 top by the window with the sun beaming in my eyes and the fly tape right next to my face (not a good first impression). The pretzel sticks were good, but the cheese that comes with it is cold. Gravy on the pork dish was great and the desserts are good, but we had flies around us the entire time. Was expecting better with the high reviews, but again, our waitress was very nice and the best part!
