For dinner, I ordered the schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) which came with sauerkraut, roasted potatoes,…read moreand their beer sauce and spargel with hollandaise sauce. The schweinshaxe was enormous (1kg!) and delicious. The skin was so crispy, but the meat was moist and flavorful. The spargel was good, but I prefer my asparagus grilled and green. Fast and friendly service. Approximately $40 USD (excluding tip) for spargel, schweinshaxe, small beer and bottle of still water.

Every time I am in Dortmund I came here the food is fantastic and the outside patio is so much funread more

I was told that I had to try Alt beer while in Düsseldorf and this place came with great reviews!…read more The brewery is large with indoor and outdoor seating! Being alone and confused on the Europe protocol for seating, I am always very shy and the staff here was very nice and accommodating. The gentleman made sure I had comfortable and was very attentive making sure that I had everything I needed. The alt beer is very good! Not too bitter and perfect to accompany the pork knuckle! The pork knuckle was by far one of the best that I have had! Super crispy skin with a good gravy! Make sure to tell them when you want to stop with the beers or else they keep bringing them! Very affordable lunch for one!

The pork knuckle (20.80 Euros) is the thing to get here. I could barely finish half of it but it's…read moreperfectly cooked - delicious and crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Super crowded and bustling, which probably explained the brusque attitude of the staff. They will keep bringing you beers when they see empty cups on the table, even if you don't drink.

Oi mate, fancy a Wenk?…read more I'll get it out of the way now, the name is funny to English-speakers. Alright, as for the review: I think the place is solid, as long as you know what you're getting into. This is the place in Dortmund for a Schnitzel, some beer, and probably a football match. Better, in my opinion, than Zum Alten Markt across the Platz. At Wenkers they brew their own beer: a Schwarzbier, which I find pretty good, and then their Urtrüb, which I find kinda bland but which my German coworker insists is "süffig" (smooth? quaffable?). Also Kronen Pils is available because come on, you're in Dortmund, there's no escaping the Pilsners. Also Schöfferhofer Weizen but that's honestly one of the worst hefeweizens in my opinion. Hold out for a Paulaner, Weihenstephaner, or Maisel-Weisse if you're in Germany only briefly. Uh, as for Schnitzel, I'm a Pfefferrahm kind of guy. Get a Schnitzel and some beers and consume until you're nice and belly-full.

Food was very good to excellent. You can tell and taste it was made to order, no pre-packaged offerings here. Staff was very attentive. If your in the area (~10-12km), this is a worthwhile visit. You will not be disappointed!
