The food here is delicious and filling, as you'd expect from German fare. I'd almost call it "German Fusion", as their large variety of schnitzel offerings include cranberry, curry, and other variations. It's pork, people! (Veal is a small extra charge). I believe your only vegetarian or kosher-ish option would be the "eggplant schnitzel" - which sounds delicious, actually.
They are currently seating both indoors and out; there are 4 tables outdoors, just a fence away from the loud road. They were busy, which led to the only off note on our evening: as soon as the last entree was finished, the host asked us to leave so they could seat other parties. As we were gathering our things, the waitress brought out a dessert menu, but we just paid and left. You might prefer doing takeout.
Food was amazing and our waiter, whose name I wish I could remember, was awesome. We got a table outside even though we didn't have reservations and it was pretty packed inside. The reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because of the AWFUL waitress who greeted us at the front. Rude, rude, rude. Stared at me, made faces at me, and then finally said, in a snotty tone, "can i help you?". Yes, what the hell do you think I'm here for, lady?? I don't see any carnival rides back there!! The awesome waiter who ended up serving us saved the day, lucky for Ms. Rude as I was about to make a scene that would make any "Karen" proud.
Great food! Lots to eat and good variety.
We will be back. Service was good as well not pushy bit seemed to be there when we needed something.
Give it a try!!
Very nice. Pleasant experience. Great food and super service with quite a variety of schnitzel dishes. You should make a reservation if you plan to go. Ask for Samantha as your server. Next time we may try their lunch menu which starts at 3:00 pm. Indoor dining as well as patio. We had the senior servings and it was just right.
