    jägerschnitzel

    Amazing service, the owner and chef checked in on us, my cup of unsweet tea was always full, food was delicious! We had the Jägerschnitzel and Bee Sting cake- both amazing. The view of the river was lovely, will be coming back very soon!

    First time visiting last night. Both the food and service were outstanding. I definitely will be back. perigees, potato pancake appetizers are out of this world. my Gypsy Schnitzel was fantastic.

    The parking lot was empty and we were a bit skeptical going in but then we were pleasantly surprised by the customer service then the food then the amazing singers on karaoke night which is 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sundays. We left very full and felt like this is one of those gems that you're happy to find and visit!

    Recently went to Best of the Wurst. German Restaurant so sounded interesting. Drive down this small road to find it on the end sitting on the Rancocas Creek, the location / appearance gave it more if a Seafood Joint. Building was pretty beat up, Sign falling off the wall. Called ahead and was told it's suggested to Reservations which is no big but when we got there there was not a soul in the place besides the workers. Decided to sit outside since it was nice out. Ordered the German Mac & Cheese(spaetzle) and Perogis for the table. Mac has nice texture but was very bland. Perogis were tasty but soggy as they were drenched in oil/butter. For the main course everyone got the best of the wurst platter. 5 sausages with more spaetzle sauerkraut and spicy mustard. The sausage had no flavor and I was disappointed to find out they buy then and don't make them in house. Desert offerings were carrot cake, cheese cake or tiramisu so we passed The service was Excellent. Very hands on and friendly. Also place is a BYOB which is nice / Cash only Too In looking at reviews and photos from the past everything prior to us committing to go looked fantastic from the building conditions to the food to the environment so not exactly sure what the story is. Overall it was def fun to try something new but their food was not for me

    I went to their website, and I'm expecting the restaurant to be austere, formal, dark... Decorated with a lot of wood and beer steins. Probably in a converted 1900s house with green trim. So I was completely surprised when the GPS took us through a compact, residential area and abruptly announced a turn onto a small gravel road leading to a marina. Right on the water is a two story building right out of the movies (a more worn version of Dukes bar from "Haven"), and inside were greeted by an alligator assuring us this is a German restaurant. I saw absolutely none of this coming. The interior doesn't seem to have AC, but luckily they have beautiful seating on the back deck. It's a gorgeous view of the water looking at a hiking trail on the other side. There are Christmas lights overhead, with flowers wrapped around the deck railing. One happy group was engaged in a karaoke performance. I apparently know nothing of Germans and austerity. The menu was smaller than what was online, but they had specials as well. The Dusseldorf Chop was delicious - the eggs were well cooked, as was the pork. The spaetzle was just fun to eat. For the uniqueness of the site and the amazingness of the food (not to mention the great name), there's no way not to give this place five stars!

    Looking for authentic German food then this off the best in path place is your place. Bring your favorite stout to enjoy with your dinner. Tables overlooking the water. Food was flavorful and delicious. The waitress was friendly and personable. They have bands that occasionally play here.

    Finally some authentic german schnitzel. I came across this place by recommendation of a friend. And it lived up to it's expectations. The food was great and reminded me of Germany. I will be back! Be sure to bring some good german beer for your dinner. BYOB Great experience

    Schnitzel!!!

    Many, many (many) years ago, back when the Berlin Wall was still a thing, I spent a summer as a…read moreforeign exchange student in West Germany, with most of my time in West Berlin. Living with a family was amazing, I was able to live 'like a local', riding my bike or taking the buses and U-Bahn subway everywhere. Two of the things I enjoyed the most were the great German beers and the delicious German food. These were the days when the beer selection ranged from Genesee to Michelob and Corona was exotic. Good times. Fast forward to this year when good German beer is much easier to buy here but the food is still not so easy to find. Sure you can find 'Americanized" German food like bratwurst, but nothing like what I had all those years ago. Then fellow Yelper Jessica Wa excitedly told me about the Canstatter Volkfest. A real Volksfest, like the ones I went to in Berlin? Yesss! So off we go on a comfortable summer day. The beer was very good Warsteiner, a solid German brand. There were the Americanized German food stands with their "brats" and fries, and then way in the back was the authentic German food. Aaah. This is what I was hoping for and yes, it delivered. Granted, it's still festival food but it was very delicious for that. We enjoyed the music, the crafts, the giant sculpture made entirely of fruits and veggies, but for me the authentic food was the absolute best. Parking was tight - they have a large grassy area that was full, we ended up finding a spot about a block away. Pro tip: There's a full bar inside the main clubhouse open for business AND much better, clean bathrooms too! I'm looking forward to next year, getting my German food fix in again along with some good beer and music too.

    It's always a fun time but again, the greed is ruining a great thing. It started with the cover to…read moreeven enter the place (it's been that way for a LONG TIME). The tickets are great because they keep vendors/others from pocketing cash. I understand that... But then they wouldn't buy back the tickets. "Oh, just bring them back next year". Obviously just hoping you don't remember 362 days later to bring something smaller than a book of stamps. But wait, it gets better... Then they won't buy back the pitcher... "Just bring it back next year". UGH okay I get it. You only want my money. But this past year was the icing on the cake. Now the tickets you pay cash for are ONLY good for this year and cannot be used next year. I'm excited for next year when I have to pay to park.
