Had the Scotch Egg appetizer and was surprised how substantial they were - and they were almost meal sized. They were really good. The dip wasn't my favorite accompaniment, but it was ok. Then I had the German Sausage Platter with one each of their three types. Decided that I wasn't as thrilled by the Bratwurst. The Knockwurst was better and the Thuringer was best of all. The sausages came with a variety of sauces, so everything was good. In fact, my final judgement was that these were some of the best sausages I've ever had, including some I've had in Germany. So feel safe recommending the Lodge if you have an urge for some Bavarian food.

Finding good German food that hasn't been Americanized is difficult and few places actually serve German cuisine like it is in Germany with their high food quality over there. So I ordered the daily special that was Jägerschnitzel (hunter's schnizel/breaded pork tenderloin with a mushroom gravy or sauce) and for an appetizer I ordered jalapeño poppers along with the authentic German goulash soup and pumpernickel bread were very good. The Jägerschnitzel sauce that is a mushroom sauce was a little unique but very good. I especially liked the spatzle noodles and the red cabbage (rotkohl) and it's just like I would get in Germany so I loved both side dishes a lot. Cool, old-timey feel to the restaurant and the service is impeccable as well. I left full and was sorry I didn't have room for the strudel they make in house, maybe next time!

The good: The pretzel was amazing, hot and buttery, salty and soft. It's presented on a hanging wire and was at least two feet high. The cheese curds were light and cheesy and beers were everything you'd expect from a German restaurant (including a 2 liter boot of Spaten). People we were with enjoyed the cabbage soup and potato pancakes. The not so good: The jaegerschnizel pork meal was not good, it was hard and unflavorful (I've been to Oktoberfest in Munich where they fed 3000 people and it tasted better). The spaezel and red cabbage were good sides but a bit on the small side. We sat in the bar and service was fine, a bit slow but friendly. The final bill was not exorbitant for the amount of food and beer we had.

Update 2026 - Oktoberfest at Schnitzel Platz…read more It's official. Celebrating Oktoberfest at Schnitzel Platz has become a tradition for us. Live music, dancing, interactive fun, flowing beer, and hearty German food, honestly, who argues with that combination? The place transforms into one big cheerful party where strangers toast like old friends and nobody leaves quietly. This year was extra special because it was my sister's, from Buenos Aires, first time experiencing the festivities , and she absolutely loved it. She left with a full belly and a few loud, happy memories that will probably resurface every time she hears an accordion. Service is always upbeat and fun, keeping pace with the festivities. The food is heavy in the best possible way, comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you're raising a stein. Prost to traditions worth repeating.

Our server was very attentive and was able to answer all our questions we had about the menu. She definitely helped us decide on what to order. The menu is extensive with so many different kinds of Schnitzel to choose from along with a variety of entrees like pork shank and pork chops. We first started with the sauerkraut balls as an appetizer. These deep fried sauerkraut and smoked ham balls were served with a honey mustard like dipping sauce. Absolutely a must try. We also ordered a half order of the German potatoes pancakes and they were the best I've ever had. So light and crispy and we ordered a side of sour cream and apple sauce to complement the pancakes for extra up charge. For our entrees I went with the pork chop zingara. It was a healthy portion of breaded chops topped with mushrooms and tomatoes with ham. We chose the green beans and bread gravy as the sides. Absolutely delicious and plenty to take home as well. The also ordered the Deutsche Haus Platter - Breaded pork schnitzel, frikadelle (German chopped steak), assorted sausages. Served with home fries, red cabbage, and sauerkraut. You can substitute the sides if you want but kept our order as is and so glad we did. The home fries were really good. The entree was a great way to try a little of everything so I know exactly what I'll want to try the next time I come which I home will be in the near future. All the entrees come with soup or salad. We got the soups : the goulash and liver dumpling soup. The goulash had a kick from the paprika but it was very hearty. I am not a fan of liver but it was good too and the broth was rich. Schnitzel Platz offers great hearty and comfort German food with a very fun atmosphere filled with live music. Nice selection of German beers on tap too. The service was also great.

My husband got a beer and liked it so much he got bottles to go. He had gotten the breaded pork chop stuffed with cheese. I got pierogi and sides of fried cabbage and the sweet and sour beets.
