Good food, great service, but horrible business practices…read more.. First, what you can expect. Of course this place being the only German restaurant/pub for tens of miles, is busy. Also given that the food is pretty good, super busy. But... the tables all seat 6. So expect to share your table with some strangers. Second, they have service where you turn on a light at the edge of the table to be served. It seems simple at first, but then it takes a bit to get used to... every time you want to fill a drink or get napkins, or even order, you'd better turn that light on, or it's a "no go". However, I like the overall idea... as it's pretty annoying to have a waitperson constantly hovering over your table and asking you questions when you have food in your mouth. It's nice to have good service, but at the same time....it's annoying. So, it's actually a good practice, I think,... just takes some getting used to. We got there as soon as they opened. I mean, like before they opened. We were the first customers. They don't have iced tea on the menu, but I noticed on Facebook they said they had missed that, but that they do have iced tea. Trying to order tea, they only had sweet tea and peach tea. No normal, non-sweetened tea. Not a deal breaker, but we don't do sugar, so our only option was water. I had ordered the schniztel, which came with spatzle. Plain spatzle. They also have cheese (and bacon) spatzle as a seperate side order (does not come with the meal). So I simply asked, not for a change of order, but for cheese and bacon to be added to the spatzle that I had. If I had to pay an extra cost, that wouldn't be an issue, just add a couple of bucks for the cheese and bacon,... right? No. Not allowed. Ok. I figured that it was because they barely opened earlier this month, and the house wanted to get rolling more smoothly before putting the wait staff and others through the grinder, having to change or add to orders whilst dealing with a busy house. I get it. So I ordered the separate side order of "cheese spatzle". Husband order the same. Two orders. But then we get our food, and wait,... no spatzle. Ok,..oops,.. it'll come,... eventually. It comes,.. halfway through my meal - I had stopped eating so that I could have it "with", so it had been about 15 mins later. But wait, we had ordered 2... we only got one. They were out of bacon. Ok, take it off our bill. No big deal. So, the food was good,... a couple of setbacks... maybe... hopefully,... only temporary ones...(?)... I was all set to give this place 5 stars.... but....then... Halfway though my meal, I asked for a side of mustard. MUSTARD!!. Ok, maybe they make it in house. So what... it's freaking MUSTARD!! Nope. Mustard is not included with this item on the menu, therefore, "No mustard for you!!" (If you know the reference of this statement... have a good laugh, I'd rather not use the term used on Seinfeld due to it being a German restaurant and all... but you get it ;) ). The first "add on/change" was excusable, the lack of regular tea was excusable, the late spatzle was excusable.... but... wait... even the lack of bacon was excusable.... but the "mustard n---" bit was ridiculous. Never ever... in my life... have I been denied.... mustard... or ANY simple condiment... it was crazy. I would like to say we'll be back... sometime... let them iron things out... I mean, we live 60 miles away... so it's a stretch... but... It's a hard sale going back to a place that won't even give you mustard fcs. Overall impression: The food was really good. The shnitzel was tender, and had a light crispy breading. The sauerkraut was tangy and sour, and "fresh" tasting. The spatzle was good, not too chewy or mushy. Husband liked the bratwurst, ok. Easily the best German food we've ever had (California, El Paso, Phoenix) outside of Germany. The service was excellent. We had a very attentive, capable, friendly, likeable waitress. Felt bad for her though, as she was the only one waiting, and there should have been at least one other person. The kitchen practices... as far as food items available that are on the menu,.. just not on the particular meal chosen... is ridiculous. And for that I've taken them down to 4 stars from the 5 star rating they originally had, before the mustard fiasco. (Of note, my husband, who's been to Germany, and really liked the food there, gives this 3 stars for all of the issues - no regular iced tea, no changes or add-ons, late spatzle, no bacon=minus one spatzle, no mustard, large tables with the chance that we'd be eating with strangers).

THE sub bread, WOW, so fresh and chewy!…read more Service is order at counter. Ambiance is small, a lot of customers take and go. We had the BBQ chicken, #31, #8 and the jalapeño steak sub. All were excellent and freshly made. Definitely recommend you give this local place a try!

The bread was really good and soft. I think that the bread is the highlight of the sandwich. I had…read morea meatball sub, and it was pretty good. The inside of the place looked really clean, which is definitely a plus. They have a really large menu and many options. I should have tried a cold-cut sandwich, but warm sounded good with it being cold outside. Business was steady, so it must be a favorite for the area. The employees were kind, and they also have a large parking lot.

Very friendly folks…read more The iced latte was perfect, with a good consistency and a bit of espresso bite. We had the cinnamon rolls, and they were yummy. The dough was textured, but not thick at all, nice and light. Just enough icing to cover the top, but not thick, shocking one's teeth with that "too sweet" feel. A generous spread of flavorful powdered cinnamon topped it off. I consider this roll a thoroughly enjoyable treat. The cafe has a great coffee house ambiance. Good music playing softly. Books to read. Comfy couch. A big board where locals can post their wares and businesses, so it has a good community feel. There's kid art for us to enjoy, and a place for kids to play. How great is that, parents? All the patrons seemed happy coming in and going out. I will be back.

Nice, cozy little place for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. They have sourdough, a personal…read morefavorite, and a wide variety of coffee selections. I'll be back.
