Great staff, menu and environment. They even let us bring in our dog because their patio was closed. The flavors were good in all our orders, but the texture wasn't on everything. The broccoli in the broccoli cheese soup was soft to the point of...Read More

Very good, local German restaurant. Food was fresh, hot and generous portions. The wine sauce on the chicken schnitzel was a little too thick for my preference but the dish was tasty.

The mashed potatoes were watered down but the burger was ok. Oddly enough they offer a buffalo meat burger but their Angus beef patty was less to be desired. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. We had heard that they had a pool table...Read More

Nice small restaurant with inexpensive good and good service. Coffee was excellent. Had the meatloaf with wild rice, fries and beer battered onion rings.

Had the beef stroganoff w/spaetzle, saurkraut side. And man I had almost forgotten what good saurkraut actually taste like! Slightly sweet. Not just the store jar stuff. And the beef stroganoff was... a number of words to include but not limited to harty, juicy, filling,...Read More

Nice rustic place. No breakfast but that's ok cause the food is very good and service is excellent. Chicken and shrimp tacos were excellent along with the chicken gravy dumpling. Can't wait to come back and try the menu!

Place was great. Cordon Bleu, sausage platter, and calamari steak. Loved those entrees, but the soup was amazing. Cabbage and ham, but more like kitchen sink. Will be stopping by more frequently now that I know what this place is about.

Lovely place with a good selection of food choices. We had a steak (cooked perfectly) and Chicken Cordon Bleu, which was delicious. Salad was very fresh and the Clam Chowder was loaded with clams. Fast and friendly service made everything even better.
