I went in open minded, due to mixed reviews! Had the pretzel- it was so good. A little cold, so next time, I plan on asking for it to be hot. The bratwurst dinner was phenomenal! Not keen on their kraut, but everything else was delicious. The Black Forest cherry cake was so good! The cherries are tart! Our server Gina was phenomenal. They are supporting the community during these horrific times. Can't wait to try them again!

We were going to go, but found out that's where all the rioting is going on. Don't think we'll be going anytime soon.
Erika is the greatest!!🥰❤️
A little bit of Deutschland in the heart of Minnesota. The decor and atmosphere were spot on, although they could have played traditional German music for a truly authentic flair. The service was good although there was only one waitress waiting tables when we arrived. She was very polite. The food was well.... very tasty. I had the Pork Shank and was impressed by the size of the dish. The shank was tender and tasty, the Spaetzle was spot on in my opinion, the gravy while good was rather salty. I also had the special Oyster Soup which was really good as well. Having lived in southern Germany for 9 years I do know German food and this place has it going on. We'll be back to try some other dishes. Thank you!

I am not one to post a negative review as anyone can see if they look at all of my reviews. This restaurant is completely outdated, the service was so slow, literally moving in slow motion. We were there for 2 and 1/2 hours we didn't get drinks for 45 minutes and we're not served food for an hour and a half when the food finally did come it was unbelievably disappointing. I know they were trying however they need a new staff front and back of house very disappointing to say the least I truly hope this review will help move them in a better direction. Approximately $1,000 spent tonight. The German potato salad was outstanding

I was excited to have Hungarian goulash with sperzel (a dish I loved when I first had it in Austria). The flavors were good, but both the meat and spetzl were dry.
The lighting in this place is also pretty sterile - the decor makes it feel like it should be cozy, but the bright white overhead lights make it feel awkward (these really should be a warm white, not a cold white). I know this sounds nitpicky, but it really makes a difference in the ambience!

We went there again to celebrate our 27 year anniversary of dating. Some things have changed but the good German food has not. My favorite by far is the pretzel with spicy cheese. They have a free parking lot just a half a block away.

Dbl birthday dinner - Monday night. The rest was nicely sparse of customers so visiting was pleasant. It was cold inside though as a result. The beer flight was excellent. The house specialty was very good . Its missing spaetzle ($8 for a small bowl ) might have easily been part of the meal for $35. The sausage sample plate was enjoyed by another in our party. The tan sausage was more bland than the dark polish one. The smoked pork chop (rippchen )- excellent. The Black Forest cherry cake our bday couple ordered, had a sour taste (maybe tart cherry in the cream?) They didn’t finish it. Service was good with a quiet night. Atmosphere nice. Parking on south side. Reasonably priced for serving size . Fun that they gave the bday couple , small glasses as a gift. Would recommend.
