Once again had a fantastic dinner and even sat at the very same table. Couldn't pass up the German pretzel and their 2 mustards office were fantastic with both a spicy and sweet taste for each. For dinner I went with the steak coated with a mustard coating and it was cooked perfect and so juicy. Love the fact they have a smaller menu and you can see that works for them. I would totally suggest giving this place a try

We took the last reservation available at 8:15p on Saturday of our vacation. We were greeted by the…read moresmily and welcoming owner as we walked in. The decor did make us feel like we were somewhere in Germany. My partner ordered a beer and we looked over the menu. I decided on the chicken schnitzel and Spatzle. Unfortunately our waiter said they were out of Spatzle. He told us they were out of all sides besides potatoe salad and french fries. My partner attempted to order the pork spatzle and was told they were out of it along with a few other dishes. This was disappointing, we wished our waiter had told us this when we sat down instead of after deciding. Our food was delicious, and if I lived in town I would definitely be back. I recommend not taking the last reservation time to avoid them selling out of many things. Our waiter told us this happens on most weekends.

Mini Pretzel Dogs are awesome…read more This Auntie Anne's is located inside a Walmart on Cattleman Rd just south of Bee Ridge Rd. I had some time to kill at Walmart and thought a pretzel snack would be nice. Been a long time since I've had Auntie Anne's. I got their Mini Pretzel Dogs and they were awesome. Seldom do I voice my opinion out loud to no one in particular, but when I had my first, it was "Oooooo these are good". I'm a true hot dog fan and having a container of little dogs all wrapped in buttery soft pretzels was wonderful. Best eaten while warm, and they were great with or without mustard. Auntie Anne's is back on my radar.

Our waitress is full of energy and very knowledgeable about all the items in the menu. We started out with a goulash soup, which is an amazing dish.

Upon walking in, the impression is very authentic German. We were seated promptly although waitress thought we were with a party of 6 and it was just my husband & I. Seated us and we ordered drinks and shortly thereafter we ordered the food. It arrived quickly, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the overall dining experience did not meet our expectations. The potato pancakes lacked flavor and were quite bland. The Wiener schnitzel was especially disappointing -- the veal was very difficult to cut, and the breading fell off almost immediately, causing the dish to fall apart. It did not feel like an authentic German preparation. The rouladen was just ok, lacking flavor also. We were quite surprised, particularly since the owner is from Berlin. It seemed clear that the owner is not the chef or directly involved in the kitchen. My husband is from Germany so we know what authentic German food is. On a positive note, the music was authentic and added a nice touch to the atmosphere, which we did enjoy.

Plenty of "spaces" to sit, depending on your mood. Indoor, outdoor, high and low seating, family-friendly. Staff was very nice and helpful. Just the right amount of chatty. My wife loved her lager. The not so good. My only complaint here is a significant one considering we came to a brewing spot. I ordered the stout. I order them at any brewing place we visit. This was by far the most bland, watery stout I've tasted. I let the server know when she asked us how it was. She didn't have much to say about it. Seemed surprised to hear it. Other than that, the experience at Big Top was nice. We'd return on our way back from doing something in Sarasota.
