If I were to review Schatzi's Schnitzel Haus solely on their food's flavor and quantity, it would be 5-6 out of five stars. The food tasted amazing! But the service, environment, and incidentals also factor into the experience. That being said, I guess my rating would average out to 3 out of 5 stars.
1. When you walk in there is no direction. Wait to be seated? Seat yourself? Go to the bar area and tell them what you want?
2. My first experience was during the 2024 Fall Festival, so maybe they were really busy? But I went to the buffet area where it looked like someone else was supposed to scoop out the servings, but no one was there. 5-ish minutes later, one person came in from outside.
3. While they were outside, flies were landing on the food. If they couldn't control the flies from being inside, then they should have had someone at the serving station making sure no flies touched the food. Gross.
4. I asked how it worked and they explained that it was a la cart. I only wanted a taste of the sauerkraut, not a whole serving, but since it was ala cart, I was charged for a full menu item.
5. I ordered a beer, which only came bottled and was WARM.
6. Most restaurants serve cold ice water. After paying for my food and beer, I learned they only offered drinks (including water) from a paid cooler.
7. Utensils were packaged plastic forks/knives/spoons. There were no extra napkins, so to get some napkins, I had to get more plastic utensil packages for one thin napkin.
8. There is a lot they could improve upon, but the food (even though I had to keep swatting away the flies) was SO, SO good.

This small restaurant hidden in a small town has authentic German food, food was excellent and it felt nice sitting inside. The chefs were very polite. Food is cooked all from scratch from the garden. Highly recommend this place if ever you stop by in Riley, KS.

Oh wow! This place went above and beyond for a dear friends graduation party! The absolute best authentic food in a 100 mile radius. I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff is unbeatable and very personable. I will 1000% be back.

Great local restaurant with amazing German food! If you haven't visited, you're missing out!! Chef Manfred and his wife "Schatzi" are the epitome of gracious hosts.
