    A GEM. If you have gotten this far on Yelp, quit analyzing. Just GO. Ignore the few VERY old bad reviews. In summary: this unknowingly retro cool place is and has been in the family forever and produces DELICIOUS home cooked food. BELIEVE THE GOOD REVIEWS OF FRIDAY FISH FRY! And if you are really lucky on Thursday or Saturday, the German food is worth it! It might take awhile because Mom (I think her name is Susie) will cook to order. That might give you time to enjoy a drink at the fantastic Formica bar - a serious nod to design of the era. REALLY.

    This family owned place serves one of the best fish fry's and German dinners (on Saturday) that I have had in a while.

    Full disclosure, I have spent a bit of time in Germany and worked for a while in a German…read morerestaurant run by native Germans with a German cook, so my bar for German food is high. The positives: The pretzel with cheese was good, hot fresh and a tasty warm cheese and onion dip. I highly recommend this if you're just in for a beer with a friend. The chicken schnitzel was well breaded and fried. The spaetzle was decent, and buttery. The glazed red cabbage was sweet and seasoned sensibly. The beer list was respectable. Nobody at my table ordered the sausages, but I thought it was good that they were locally made. The atmosphere was classic, with a few American twists such as high top tables and televisions with sports. The negatives: no air conditioning, so a bit uncomfortable for summer dining. The Sauerbraten was kind of dry. I was surprised it was not served with gravy, because that's traditional, and because it would have masked some of its dryness. They hid the red cabbage under the meat, not sure why, it's not like you eat them together like shepherd's pie. My daughter ordered eintopf, described as a "hearty stew". It was not a hearty stew. It was a brothy soup, very over- seasoned with massive amounts of celery seed. There were three cherry-tomato sized dumplings that were also overseasoned, in the same manner, or had been marinated in the soup. There was about a quarter cup of diced onion and carrot in the broth. The whole thing was absolutely indelible. My daughter had also ordered potato pancakes, but we were not served potato pancakes, but instead a single greasy order of undercooked hash browns. I would have sent them both back, but our waitress only returned to give us the check, and by that time my wife and I had fed our daughter by sharing with her the items we'd ordered for ourselves. Though the broth and hash browns were barely touched the waitress did not ask how we'd liked our dinners. She was new, I could tell, because when ordering, I'd asked her for her opinion about the sauerbraten, and she said she didn't know because she was a vegetarian. Nothing wrong with being a vegetarian, but you can still learn about the meat dishes that you're serving in a...German restaurant. I think this establishment is new, and they're still working out the kinks. Maybe I'd return in a year or two to see how things have shaped up. Also, they did not bring bread to the table. Usually German restaurants bring hearty dark bread or rolls with butter. Two beers, one soft drink, one app, and dinner for three, $115 with tip.

    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.
