This restaurant was recommended to me by a guest where I work. The authentic German food here was incredible. I absolutely loved everything I tried. The German potato salad was delicious. This has become our new restaurant for lunch when headed to the Norfolk airport.

Great food. Tasteful. Great beer!
*Edit-#2* - I am impressed with the timely response of the management and have expressed concerns. Up a star for him caring and we shall see if it gets looked in to. :) hi hope it does. I very much used to like this place^ **EDIT** went back again for the maybe 5 or 6 time. Last time and this most recent. Food was horrid. The Sauerbraten was dry, overcooked and tasted of pure vinegar. Nothing else. And I really like vinegar. Then, for some reason, the cook (for sure not a chef) thought it woe to drench the entire plate in the vinegar sauce. The spatzle was sopping wet in vinegar sauce too. The cucumber salad was good, but again, vinegar. Now I know I ordered vinegar with vinegar but drowning a plate in just vinegar said, with zero flavor to it aside form the vinegar…that’s just shows the porky rises , uncaring kitchen staff they must have running it. This abomination of a German dish goes against all this place has been. It’s what Inexperience and uncaring with poor management results in. My wife got the same thing. Same result. Except she got the potatoes. She liked those. When I asked the server about it, her words were “yea, they put vinegar all over everything back there.” …..ummm. Why?? Then, we got dessert. The Apfel strudel. Or so we thought. Whatever this abortion of dish that was brought out was definitely not that. The picture of this apple failed contraption speaks volumes. The beer was still good though. Our bill was $75 for two people. You got us. We won’t be back. And we do plan to share this experience with EVERY SINGLE PERSON we can, so as they won’t waste their money nor time there too. I hope the nice owner man is still around. He needs to fire that kitchen and bring in people that know how to make food.

I went here for a girls night last week and I had Gaby as my server. She was amazing, so quick to grab anything my friends and I needed. I can say she went above and beyond for us!! I had a delightful experience and would recommend Gaby as a server for a great experience!

Take forever! Move slow! Didn’t acknowledge customer. Had us waiting forever! Rude! No customer service!
I had such a great time tonight! The bartender was absolutely amazing and a total pro when it came to helping me pick out some delicious beers. Honestly, between that beer list and the noodles, this is always the best spot in Portsmouth. The atmosphere is so warm; it truly feels like a family place where everyone knows everyone and is just having a blast. I remember coming here as a kid (younger), and that wonderful feeling has genuinely never left. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

Had a great time! Food was delicious and the service was top notch. Amber took care of us and from the moment she introduced herself we knew it would be good. She was working her butt off but kept making sure we had everything we needed, gave her recommendations, and ensured we were satisfied with our order. She cleared plates quickly, kept drinks full, and cracked us up with her winning personality. Keep that one we will be back for her!

Amber is always amazing when we come to visit! She has an awesome knowledge of the menu and food options. She always helps me pick what I want so I don’t end up eating the same thing every time 😅 the beer list is endless and the selections are out of this world. I love how you can come in and leave with a friend everytime 💕

We just had one of the worst meals we’ve had ever here. We visited on a Sunday afternoon & were greeted by a cold staff. We had a long wait after being seated & got nervous when we overheard the table near us saying they’d been waiting for a while. We waited for 70 minutes after placing our order for a kids hotdog, a burger, a half portion of schnitzel, & a whole portion of schnitzel. My schnitzel was raw. The whole portion of schnitzel never came. We tried to capture our waitress’s attention & realized she was busy dealing with the issues of another table. Another waitress came over & we explained the chicken was raw & we just wanted to get a check for the food we’d received & leave. The bill was for $87. We'll dispute it with our bank because we just wanted to get out of there. We’re very disappointed & won’t be back or recommending to anyone. I can imagine other diners this afternoon had a much better experience.
