This is an odd restaurant in that you must initially sit at the bar where you order and wait for your table/food. Once you are seated your food is waiting for you. I can't say I've ever seen a restaurant operate quite this way but it works for me. I've noticed some people complain in the reviews and I think it's unjustified. My only complaint is that they aren't open more often and that they are too darn popular on Fridays.

Amazing food and very nice staff. Honestly, I do not…read moreunerstand the negative reviews. I am from Germany (immigrated in 2011) and this is definitely a "taste of home". The place looks and feels very homey, like a small restaurant would look like in Germany. Sure, if you are expecting a Pretzel with Beer Cheese dip (No true German would EVER!!!) it might not be the place for you.... BUT: The Schnitzels are nice and thin and breaded just right, exactly how they are SUPPOSED to be. The authentic German Curry Ketchup was SO GOOD, I will go back and buy a whole bottle! The home made Spaetzle with the Jaeger Sauce were AMAZING, and my friend had a Curry-Wurst, that looked exactly what it would look like in Berlin, Germany, eaten as street food (cut up into pieces, yes, that's how it is eaten in Germany!) We will for sure be back! Keep up the good work!

This was possibly the worst dining experience yet. We came for Sunday lunch, and there were only 3…read moreother tables present. Yet it took a server a good 10 minutes to even bring menus. We finally get to place our order and while we waited noticed the table behind us getting plate after plate of the wrong food. We order and waited another 15 minutes for drinks. Our food finally starts coming out one dish at a time and it's not even correct. We were waiting for the last dish to arrive and our server took it to the wrong table, collected it from the wrong table and tried serving it to us after it was touched by someone else! So, terrible service. To top it off the food just sucks. Tiny portions that are overpriced. Not authentic German, not even close. The schnitzel were absolutely tiny and paper thin, you could barely even notice it was meat. For $15 you get two puny schnitzels and a tiny bowl of potato salad. During our time there at least 5 tables came in, sat and left not even getting drinks.

This was our second time here. First time we though: hey, my parents awould enjoy this place. So,…read moreparents are in town and where do we go? Exactly. Glad we actually remembered what we said... So, we sat outside on an absolutely gorgeous afternoon. Fully crowded by the yellowjackets. Ahhh, late summer in the outdoors. Maybe put out a trap or two? Anyway, our server (same one as last time Mary, awesome) came out and was genuinely helpful and friendly. We all ordered a fish fry (it was Friday) and loved it. The potato pancakes were actually good! So many are a bit soggy or greasy or just meh, but these were not. My wife's fries were exactly on point with a good crunch. She can't live without her fries on meals like this. Just after we ordered our food, we heard some music start up. Yup! German music playing at the German restaurant. That was just perfect.

I have been wanting to try this place because it is a historic restaurant in West Allis. I came…read morehere on a late Friday afternoon, and it was packed. We were able to get a table inside, although there was ample seating outside at their beer garden. It looked like there would be live music later in the evening. The inside is very nice and historic. They have an extensive menu, including a long drink menu with plenty of N/A options. I decided to get the fish fry because I heard it was popular. The bread that usually comes with fish fry came out first, which I actually preferred. It was delicious. I unfortunately cannot say the same for the fish. They give you four small pieces, almost like fish sticks. The outside coating was crunchy, but the breading was very thick. I was also not a fan of the spices they used on the fish. The taste was just off. The fries were okay. The service was good. Our server was attentive and friendly. The cost of the fish fry when I was here was $20. I personally think that is a little overpriced for the quality of food you get. I would consider coming back to order something else.

They have indoor and outdoor seating for the season. Great for mini hangouts with friends. I tried their soup of the day , broccoli cheese, and salad that was pretty good. They got my dressing wrong, supposed to be ranch but it was bleu cheese. It seems the place was busy and only had one server so it took sometime to receive the entrees, so plan ahead if you're expecting to eat hungry.

Von Trier is an institution -- not the bad kind, like a "mental institution", or an "Ale Asylum" (I…read morelove that name!); the very good kind, as in a cultural and community treasure. I'm old enough to remember the place when it was Rieder's. Already a warm and special place, with a jukebox filled with classical music, it had a groovy mid century modern decor and was a hangout for MSO musicians after concerts. It acquired its lavish, present-day German decor when it was sold to Karl Lotharius. I don't recall how much longer, after that, the jukebox survived, but the astounding decor remains. Alas, there's a reason for my one star (which, I hope and assume, the present owners will notice) . . . and it has to do with a certain scourge -- the maddening omnipresence of which is second only to that of A.I. I refer to TV screens. There have been several ownership changes since Lotharius departed this mortal coil, and I honestly don't know at what point in time it was decided to tarnish the decor with the addition of several TVs. (I was so enraged by the sight of them, when I first entered the front door after a long time away, that I didn't bother to look at the back room; consequently, I have no idea whether the scourge has ruined that room as well.) Clearly, in jumping on the "give the people what they want" bandwagon, the owners (current and/or recent) believe that there's no such thing as too many sports bars (or at least, bars that can be compelled to serve that function at least some of the time). Gosh, I would think that people who are so into SPORTS, when coming upon a bar lacking screens, would have sufficient fitness, energy and motivation to walk a block or two extra, if necessary, to find and enter one of the many other establishments equipped to satisfy their jones for that pathetic fix. But then again, I guess it's that fundamental laziness that makes them mere spectators. There's only one thing worse than a proprietor so lacking in imagination, individuality, courage and self-respect that, when choosing a design for their establishment, they cave to the TV trend. It's a proprietor who ruins an EXISTING treasure by plunking multiple TV screens into the middle of it all. Like turds in a punch bowl. It's great to "get away from it all" for a while, isn't it, for a nice meal, drinks and conversation? The thing is, if I want a TV screen, I can see one at home. (But I don't want to. Not always, anyway. To judge from what TV, movies and commercials show us, every home now has the same standard, ugly, huge plastic rectangle (the TV screen) dominating its designated room(s), out in the open. As for me, I require mine to live inside a closed cabinet. It only comes out when I say that it can.) And, rather than seeing constant reminders that our world has all but become the kind of dystopia in which there's no escaping that intrusive electronic barrage, I could instead just stay at home and watch any of the many sci-fi movies on that theme (a theme that used to be merely a warning. Now, such films more resemble documentaries.) Shame.

Unfortunately, we ended up leaving without getting to eat. Pretty disappointing experience, especially when the business was still advertised as being open for another hour.

The cabbage was good, and standard, no special flavor. I liked the spaetzle as well. The meal started with a salad, nothing special, spring greens with one tomato and one cucumber slice.
