    Deli side
    Christina L.

    Love this place. Always good food and kind service from the family that runs this place. Grab food togo or sit down in the small dining room and have a hot meal with a cold beer. Such a hidden gem!

    Nicole made sure our drinks never sat empty for long and served up a delicious spread that I'd been long craving. I can't wait to go back to this deli! Service, quality and pricing were all fabulous.

    Ham & cheese on French roll
    Randi B.

    The first time I came here, I dined in with my husband. We thought we should order at the counter, but the friendly lady told us to take a seat in the dining room and she would help us. She was super sweet and we really enjoyed having her as a waitress. I had a ham and cheese sandwich on a french roll, which comes with potato salad and a pickle. He had their currywurst with fried potatoes. We both loved our lunches! My sandwich was basic, but it was exactly what I was looking for, just a solid homemade sandwich. Their potato salad is pretty good, and the pickle was great. His currywurst was delish! The veal sausage they used had a super soft texture and the sauce was heavy on the curry, slightly spicy. I couldn't get enough of the perfectly fried potatoes, I kept sneaking pieces and dragging them through the yummy curry sauce. I returned a couple weeks later solo to pick up lunch to go. This time I went with a Stuffed Cabbage Roll with rye bread on the side. YUM! Only $10 for this super filling lunch, one huge cabbage roll stuffed to the brim with a delicious ground beef mixture, swimming in a big pool of light tomato sauce. Loved sopping up the sauce with my bread. I will definitely be back often to try more of their amazing German menu!

    Little deli and restaurant combo in a very busy shopping district in La Habra. The people who work there are very kind and have an excellent memory for faces. The menu is decent, I'd maybe wish for a few more options on sides but what they do offer is very tasty down the board. And some delicious proper German beers for a reasonable price. I recommend the currywurst in particular, but every sausage I've had there was tasty. All in all, highly recommend it and I will be going back.

    Bratwurst with potato salad and sauerkraut

    Very nice place Wonderful service Pleasant staff The ambience is lovely with lots of German decor. I got the bratwurst plate with potato salad and sauerkraut. It was delicious and very filling. They have a special house mustard which is superb. We have been here before and will certainly come back. The only reason why they miss a star is because I wish they let you mix and match. For instance, I would love to have one bratwurst and one knackwurst on a plate with the sauerkraut and the potato salad. Prost!

    Pan fried potatoes were good!

    My husband wanted a deli sandwich and we were in the area, so we stopped by this cute little German deli. He said the corned beef Reuben was excellent! The kids and I also loved our food! So simple, so good! This deli has the best potato salad! I normally can't stand potato salad and won't eat it; Continental Deli makes a GREAT version of potato salad. Can't wait to come back soon! The owners are very welcoming! Small area for dine-in available.

    To die for!!! Yummy

    The food was fantastic! The cheesecake was to die for!!!!!! Pastrami sandwich was delicious, pickle was super crunchy, and potato salad was such great flavor! The Ruben on rye was just the right amount of perfect. The server had a great personality and he was super kind! The lady behind the register was my favorite and she made me and my mother's whole day! What a great place for delicious food and great service with real personalities! And can't forget great beer on tap!

    I found this place on Yelp and I loved it. I was craving deli style sandwiches and this place was a hit. My kids shared a wiener and potatoes and I got a ham with macaroni salad and hubby got the reuben. We also shopped in the store side of the restaurant and we got chips and peach streusel and apple streusel and cheesecake and I got extra pickles. It's cute and clean and family owned. I love that they have a store attached. I am telling everyone who will listen to me that they need to come check this place out.

    Liverwurst on Rye
    Marc L.

    Great chill deli to get to get a fabulous sandwich, cold German beer, and fantastic potato salad. There is deli side and a restaurant side. In the deli you will find authentic imported items. Just love their selection of sauerkrauts, and other pickled items. Service if friendly and the whole experience feels homey. Highly recommend the liverwurst with soft rye bread and spicy mustard. Yum Yum !

    Is Split Pea Soup on the menu?

    Yes we do. Just that the soups always change

    We will definitely come here to support a family owned German deli in La Habra!!! But, is there anything vegan I can have with a pretzel, kraut, and Heffe?

    Maybe the vegetable soup or a modified version of the stuffed cabbage? The meat is what makes the Deli great though.

After dropping our son off at LAX, we searched for a German restaurant on our way home. We found this place in Long Beach and are so happy we did. It's a great corner spot with both lots of indoor and outdoor seating. It was decorated with lots of German artifacts, as well as World Cup items. The workers were very friendly and welcoming. They gave us some great suggestions and we took him up on them. They had a large selection of German beers and I got a Dunkel since it's one of my favorites. My wife got at Helles. For food, we had to get a pretzel, Wiener schnitzel and potato pancakes. All 3 were delicious as were the two beers. It is our new go-to German spot.

I appreciated the patient servers who only showed up when we needed (i don't like fussy servers checking on us too often. it gets in the way of me eating.)

We also order their award winning fish and chips, we got the cod. It was ok. Not too sure about "award winning". But it was good. My son got the fish bite and chips from the Little Buccaneers menu (12 and under). It came w/a drink and an ice cream sundae. It was a good portion for a 9 year old. He said it was good! Our server was nice and smiley, but unfortunately our food and even our drinks took a while. Maybe cause it was busy, but luckily our server was cheery and friendly, it kind of made up for it. Overall, this place is pretty cool. Would I come here again? Possibly. But honestly I thought this place was just ok.

Their menu consisted a huge selection of beer, sausages and dipping sauces for fries. We opted for the Duchesse sour, Dr. Browns Black Cherry pop, Duck sausage, Buffalo sausage, and small fries with curry ketchup. The ambience was great! It felt like a beer hall since it had long tables and benches in the middle, everyone was drinking beer having a great time. There were also smaller cozier tables on the side if you wanted a more intimate space. We enjoyed our drinks and people watched while we waited for our food. The Duchesse red ale sour was really yummy, it was a good balance of sweet and tartness. We got the duck, bacon, and jalapeño sausage with sweet peppers and caramelized onions, the hot dog was delicious!! The sausage was a bit rich but the savory flavours were incredible, it was grilled well with a nice crispy skin and paired really well with the sweet peppers. You also get a huge selection of different mustards to try - yellow, dijon, seeded, honey, brown, you name it, they've got it. The buffalo, cherry and mint sausage was very good as well, but it's a bit more dry and gamey than the duck. The grilled bun is just ok, it's a solid blank canvas to highlight the tasty sausages. The fries are fat boys and seasoned very well. I normally am not a fan of thick fries but these changed my mind, the curry ketchup gave it a nice complexity as well. I just wish they gave you more sauce since the fries are so chunky. :) Had a really fun time overall and can't wait to come back and try their other sausages and beer options.

The most we have seen so far, it was more a "business plan" let's do what Americans may think a German beer garden looks like. Our friend, the LA promoter Vahe, took us yesterday. We found a little gem, grown over the years, with an actual German owner and a service that had more than basic knowledge of German food. Nice! The ambiance was what you would expect from a place like this, less stylish-designer but more owner look-what-we-brought-from-Germany over the many years. The food was actually good, reasonably priced and generously portioned - the sauce platter really deserved its name "platter"- Came with great German curry ketchup. It would be too much to brag about the food, it was decent better than just OK version of classic beer garden dishes. But one has to be fair: where in German beer gardens you find food really worth bragging about? So while I was really tempted to stop at 4 out of five stars, I give 5. After all, it matches my most key how-to-get-5 element: would I do a 30+ min detour just to go here. If someone asked me to show them decent German cuisine in a somewhat authentic ambiance, I would take them here. The Kiez may be closer to our home, the Wirtshaus more stylish, but here we found the hearty welcome we missed elsewhere.

Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. I ordered the chicken schnitzel with mushroom gravy, my boyfriend got the Hungarian brat with spaetzle, and our friend ordered the Hungarian brat on a roll. Starting with the schnitzel: it wasn't completely terrible, but it definitely wasn't good. The breading was some what soggy and sliding off the chicken, and the chicken itself had almost no seasoning besides an odd lemony sourness. The mashed potatoes were honestly awful -- extremely sour, like they were overloaded with sour cream but missing butter, salt, or any real flavor. I LOVE mashed potatoes and only managed two bites before giving up. The red cabbage was overcooked, mushy, and had a slightly off taste. Overall, the schnitzel plate was maybe a 2/10, and those points go solely to the fact that the chicken itself was technically edible. My boyfriend's meal somehow managed to be worse. The bratwurst was fine, but tasted frozen and reheated rather than fresh. The sauerkraut, according to him, "tasted like dirty socks." The spaetzle was genuinely offensive -- mushy, overly bland, and tossed with what looked like hydrated diced mushrooms that literally tasted like dirt. I honestly questioned whether it had gone bad. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself felt dirty and had a strange smell throughout. It honestly seems like a place locals may still visit out of habit or convenience, but it no longer reflects what I imagine it once was. It's unfortunate, because there's something special about a restaurant that's been around for 65 years and still tries to maintain its old-school charm. Sadly, the food and cleanliness just don't live up to that legacy anymore. Save your money unless you're only stopping in for an overpriced German draft beer. We definitely won't be back.
