Located outside of Ramstein AB, the restaurant is an authentic German restaurant with a touch of…read moreAmericanism. The interior is one of a traditional German village eating establishment, but being located close to an American base, it make concessions such a menu with pictures and English to make it easier to order. The "Stammtisch" (German for "regulars' table) is not a table, but a section of bar. Great traditional fare with accompanying beer or wine. I dined on the traditional schnitzel and it did not disappoint as it was accompanied by a great local beer. Keep room for dessert and some schnapps to help with the digestion. NOTE: it is a smallish establishment so you need to make reservations to dine, it is well worth the effort to make a reservation and dine. Guten appetite!

So take a butcher who know hows how to cook and how to respect the cut of meat, add a healthy dose of love of food and Bavarian/German cuisine, and you have a quaint little restaurant near Ramstein AFB/Landstuhl. If you are within driving distance, don't miss this gem! I had the "Garlic Marinaded Pork Ribeye" and selected the pan fried potatoes. OMG OMG OMG ... meat cut thin so two cuts served... the garlic was there front and center but NOT overpowering in any way. A bit of herbed butter, roasted garlic cloves that melt in your mouth, and these fantastically flavored potatoes that are just divine. All served with a generous side of a parsley and ?? Sour cream to die for. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Bring cash, no plastic. I wonder if I can get a free ticket change if I tell Delta I'm "dying"... they just don't need to know I'm dying to go back...

Ramstein village is a small village in between Landsthul and Meisembach and is on the Meisembach side of the village. There was a festival on-going at the time as well so the roads were blocked but we drive around them anyway. There used to be a German bowling alley there as well. Now closed but the gasthaus is still there. Worth the effort to go. The pizza is good as well. Lots of carry out for pizza. Lots of phone orders coming in. Traffic was light and service was good. The Pils was cold and good. Cold is relative here though since beer is just slightly cooler than room temp but it's brewed to be drank that way.

The portions are enormous, the menu is full of comfort‑food classics, and the atmosphere has that lively, slightly chaotic charm that makes it feel like a local staple. I went with a group, and everyone found something they loved. The schnitzel was crispy and well‑seasoned, and the burgers were surprisingly great for a place known for German‑style plates. Service was friendly and efficient even though the place was packed, which I really appreciated. If I had to nitpick, the wait times can get long during peak hours, and the sheer size of the portions can be a bit overwhelming if you're not prepared. But honestly, that's part of the Big Emma's experience; go hungry, go with friends, and expect leftovers. Overall, a fun, hearty spot that delivers exactly what it promises. I'd happily come back.

My husband and I both ordered schnitzel - I got the peppercorn schnitzel (my husband's recommendation) and he got the schnitzel special. We both got the spatzle. The schnitzel was delicious.

The kitchen closed while we were eating dinner and we didn't know! So when we went to order dessert we were unable. That was def a real bummer. Despite that, we would definitely return!

The ordering style here is line up and order at the counter, once that is done someone gives you a number and the food runner will bring the order according to the number you display not he table. A funny thing here is that they do not bring all the food at once and they do bring as it gets ready and released by the kitchen, that seems to be a common practice in the country. the prices here are pretty reasonable and the decor is pretty cool! I really loved that they actually have a water fountain inside the restaurant. The food I got here was pretty good. MUSHROOM SCHNITZEL - it came with a choice of side and the sides are pretty ok, not the best but ok. however the mushroom sauce is pretty amazing and I came back here for this dish many times. The sweets here are a bit of a waste of time and the drinks are ok but this dish I had was the best thing in the house in my opinion. this is a great intro to the tastes of Germany.
