We were meeting friends in town this afternoon who were in Bradenton for a wedding. We decided on Lucky Frog since I enjoy German food and their vegan options for my partner. Located in a shopping plaza, this little restaurant didn't disappoint. Upon placing our order, food was brought out promptly! I ordered the pork schnitzel with the cream sauce on the side, with a dumpling and my partner ordered the potato pancakes, with bread, salad, and the cabbage. Everything was perfect. My schnitzels was perfectly fried and not greasy. It cut beautifully and very flavorful. My favorite was the dumpling. Served in a broth and melted in my mouth. My partner equally loved his meal. The pancakes were fluffy and light, and he fell in love with the cabbage. I ordered the strudel with vanilla sauce with a side of fruit for dessert. You could tell it was fresh and warm. Went well with the coffee. My partner appreciated the side of fruit that came with it as I gave it to him since no dessert is vegan. The vanilla sauce served with it was over the top. It wasn't sweet and complemented the strudel. The interior was cute and you can tell the owners take pride in their heritage and the food they prepared. The service was very attentive and checked in several times during the meal. It will be one of our go-to's when we are in the Bradenton area. The lunch menu was reasonably priced if you just stick to that and not order more than one side dish. Sides were a little pricey as we ordered 4, but I felt we received a meal as if we're were in Germany. I also attribute the prices to higher food prices in general. Lucky Frog is a great little place for authentic German food. I will definitely be back with my brother as he is always looking for great German food.

Beef roulade with Side of Spaetzle  and red cabbage

I've been to this place multiple times. In fact I've reviewed this place before. This is a quaint little German restaurant that is owner operated and he is also the chef. He makes everything on the menu himself and boy is it good! Born in German he trained in France. This place has about 14 tables and is open Tuesday thru Saturday. They serve beer and wine only. Lots of German beer for sure! We had an appetizer named Grimms snack Plate which was marble rye, tomatoes, onions, chambre cheese, muttwurst and liverwurst. I've never been a liverwurst fan but it was delicious! For dinner I had the Kings Favorite. Which was beef roulade with red cabbage and Spaetzel . Delicious. Also served with a small greens salad. They cook their red cabbage with cinnamon and it is so good!! Hubby ordered Jaegar Schnitzel (hunters schnitzel) with a Lucious mushroom sauce and Spaetzel and a side of red cabbage. He really enjoyed it! The service staff are headed up by the owners wife and everyone is so friendly and efficient. It's about $35 to $ 40 a person if you include beer or wine.

Lions Meal

Even Better I made a return visit today after 3 years and had the same thing for lunch. Our experience today was even better, and that's saying something. I loved the food last time. I'm a big flavor kind of a guy and this was a big flavor meal. The meal I had was called Lions Meal, and consisted of a Bratwurst, German Potato Salad, Sauerkraut, and a few leaves of greens with dressing. All of it was excellent. For me the bratwurst didn't need any mustard at all, it was already moist with standout taste, no need to mask it. The warm potato salad appeared simple yet also quite good. The star of the plate was the kraut. Nice place, big windows, very clean, all the stuff I wrote about last time still holds true, even about the water. While I thought the don't drink the tap water get bottled was a temporary situation back then, it was still the case today. Lucky Frog cares about your health and bottled is better for you. So, what made this visit better than the last? Even more interaction with our server. It wasn't busy, so we enjoyed taking more of her time than we probably deserved just chatting about the food, the restaurant, and even Yelp. A very enjoyable visit.

It is a real deal. Original beautifully balance German food. We keep coming back for more

Peach & strawberry Melba dessert.

Excellent food! The chef is right there where you can see him cooking through an opening into the kitchen. You can smell the deliciousness and the sounds of the food being cooked. A great sensory experience that gets your mouth watering as you await your meal. Off the beaten trail, in a strip mall, with quaint decor. In season it can be quite lively. A must do restaurant to visit in Bradenton for German cuisine.

Based on my two experiences at the Lucky Frog, I give them a well deserved five star rating for outstanding German cuisine.

This was my first time trying German food, and Mr. Dunderbak's was a great introduction…read more I ordered the Jägerschnitzel with veal, which is a herb-breaded Wiener schnitzel topped with a rich hunter gravy. The veal was incredibly tender, and the gravy was packed with flavor. It was a satisfying entrée that came with two sides. For my sides, I chose the pierogies and spätzle. The pierogies were honestly my favorite part of the meal. They were fluffy, cheesy, and generously filled. So delicious. I could have eaten a whole plate of just those. The spätzle was soft and well prepared, but compared to everything else, I found it a little boring. The restaurant itself is very cute and has a lot of character. I loved browsing the selection of German snacks, candy, and other imported items available for purchase. It added to the overall experience and made the place feel unique. While I'm not that familiar with German food, I thought this was a pretty good restaurant. Overall, I found German cuisine a little more muted than what I'm personally used to, but I still really enjoyed the meal and the experience. I'd be interested in trying more of the menu.

The atmosphere is welcoming and the decor is classic German kitsch. However, my visit to the deli…read morewas disappointing. I had such high hopes for this place. :( The selection is very limited and perhaps I missed something (entirely possible), but I did not see a price list for the deli case. We did find a unique assortment of other German products- some we haven't seen in many years. The restaurant portion was quite busy and the customers looked happy. We were flooded with nostalgia and left in hopes of dining in on a less-busy day. I ordered two meats, including the German bologna. During the drive home, my family and I noticed a terrible odor-- the kind where we started pointing fingers at one another. We never suspected that the package from the deli was the source. When we opened it at home, a nauseatingly funky, ammonia-type smell came from the German bologna. While the liverwurst smelled okay, I could not trust it after the bologna and decided against keeping it. Wasted time and money. Dang! The staff is super nice and that was truly a plus. However, I doubt we will be back. My family is very bummed over this.
