We had reservations for mom’s 91st birthday. She is German and requested Richard’s for her special birthday dinner. The service was horrible to start. Our drink order taken, and 20 min later no drinks, no server. She helped parties that came in after us and never said “ be with you shortly”. In fact she always looked away. We were very frustrated. We saw the drinks sitting poured at the bar. My husband asked the hostess/bartender if she could serve them. She gladly brought them over. Finally our server arrived too. I asked if she was going to take our order. She had a real attitude and told the hostess to find us a different server. The hostess then started with the attitude as well. She said they were short on help and I’d have to be living under a rock not to know this. She was very rude. Another server came to take care of us. She was great. Took our order, delivered food timely, checked on us, wished mom a happy birthday. The service rating is a two only because the second server took great care of us where the others rated zeros.

Excellent meal, reasonable prices. Some of the best German food I've had.
Christopher Kane
Absolutely the worst food (German) or not that I have had. All very bland and very dried, no taste on the basics. Time for them too retire.

The atmosphere when we walked in was like walking into a German pub/restaurant. Our waitress was smart and very funny. The food was authentic and tasty. They have a ton of German beer. Prices were reasonable. Go and enjoy this restaurant!

So out of 4 meals 3 were great and 1 was good. I must say the scores are based on the food and not if each person really like their meal. This is because they expected something else. Not the meal just that they thought it was a different dish

Food was very good, but being an authentic German restaurant, you needed an interpreter for the menu. Service was great. The atmosphere visually was good but a little busy, and the music was a little too loud for my liking.

This was an unexpected find on our trip from Iowa to Maine. The food was excellent just the way my mother made at home (she was German). The atmosphere was just like the restaurants we ate at while we were in Germany last year. Our waitress was great, service was excellent and I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to experience German food, beer and authentic atmosphere! When they say reservations highly recommended, they mean it. We arrived when they opened and all but 3 tables we reserved. It filled up very quickly.
The food was excellent!! But the service was terrible … waitress overwhelmed as she mentioned it to us so delicately.. we asked to change place as the big fan was pulling air in our necks … flat no !! Even if the restaurant is not full … a very unsmiling women the manager I presume was unprofessional and very low class .. this type of service isn’t representative of a real good German restaurant, especially a family owned one !!! Will never refer or go back …

WOW! I had their Thursday night special, and the beef was tenderized and wrapped perfectly around the pickle and bacon. It did not require a steak knife it was so tender. The spaetzle was authentic (not from a box), and the brown gravy superb! I also really enjoyed the red cabbage which I think may have been simmered in bacon fat because it was super yummy. The atmosphere felt German, and the music was very authentic. The staff seemed to really care about my experience. I only wish I didn't live over 1,000 miles away because I would come here all the time. PS: The homemade chocolate cake layered with raspberry preserves and a chocolate mascarpone was amazing to finish out my meal. Highly recommend Richard's!

An excellent German restaurant with fantastic food! I make sure to eat here every time I am visiting the area. Pictured is the Zigeunerschnitzel with Klösse (bread dumpling) and Rot Kohl (red cabbage).
Good food and excellent service, and the view!
