Gave it a try and felt like we receive nothing more than a frozen pretzel that was heated up and sprayed with butter in a can with salt sprinkled on top. Once I saw the butter spray can I knew. This local spot is more on the dingy and dirty side, inside and out. My experience while waiting for the order, while observing the interactions between the employees, didn't give a customer friendly vibe nor did anyone crack a smile. The funnel cake did look amazing as it was being prepared fresh to order. But I think if you wanna try a good Bavarian pretzel, might be better to try another local spot or restaurant as this pretzel was a large 10 inch one but was nothing better than a frozen store bought pretzel it seems.

We had the pork knuckle (haxe) served with gravy, sauerkraut, and potato salad. The pork was cooked well, but soft, with the gravy all over it. I've never had it served that way before, but it was delicious. We've been here several times and I always get the goulash soup. It's so good and reminds me so much of being in Germany.

We first visited Bodensee about eight years ago, and at the time we thought it was probably the…read morebest restaurant in town. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a bit of a disappointment. What was once a quaint spot with outstanding service and mouthwatering food now feels like just another restaurant. The atmosphere was fine and the service was still good, but the food didn't live up to our previous experience. We both ordered schnitzel--mine with Jäger gravy and my wife's with Gypsy gravy. Mine was decent, but hers was noticeably different from what she remembered. She had really been looking forward to it and ended up quite disappointed. It wasn't a bad meal, but it definitely didn't recapture what made our first visit so memorable.

It was a sweltering day outside and the A/C and cold beers were definitely a welcomed sight. The owner and staff we spoke with were so friendly and gave my brother in law (who will be close by now) the run down on upcoming Oktoberfest events and when the best times to visit were to avoid the insane college weekends. We had one of the most delicious pretzels I've ever consumed and I took precisely zero pictures of it because it didn't last long. Inside the shop is small but they have a big beautiful outdoor seating space with games at each table. We look forward to visiting again in the cooler months and checking out their sister store up the road.

You order your food up front and can grab it and take it outside. We enjoyed our pretzels and beer here, but wish we didn't have to wait inside for a while before getting our food (or that it could have been walked out to us). Prices were great for the location. Liked the string game outside (where you try to get the string on the hook). A great little stop for a quick, cheap bite. Not necessarily a place to linger.

They seated us quickly and served us equally as fast! We started with a soft pretzel. It was perfectly warm and soft on the inside. Well, but not overly, salted. Served with a warm ramekin of melted butter as well as a warm ramekin of cheese sauce. Both were delicious options. Additionally, they have 3 mustard options on the table. Perfect start! We then decided to split the Jaegerschnitzel with German potato salad and spatzel. Coincidentally, I specifically wanted spatzel then preferred every other thing we ate to that. It wasn't bad. It was just fairly plain. The schnitzel itself was flawlessly breaded and exquisitely fried. Crispy, tender, delicious! Wow! The German potato salad--warm and yet another WOW! I do not understand the marginal reviews. Yum! Would definitely come back!

The Kartoffelsalat was not very good either. Beer was good. Had high hopes, but alas not to be.

My husband and I were impressed by the meat and cheese plate, that additionally included pickles, apricot jam, and dried cranberries; highly recommend choosing the German meats and cheeses, I was hesitant but they were delicious! For entrees we had the Rachel sandwich and the bratwurst, with sides of red cabbage and Brussels sprouts. I didn't finish the sandwich because of its size and took half to go. The sprouts were fresh and well seasoned, and my husband was still talking about the red cabbage a day later. The German beer list is extensive and the server recommended a couple to me, and let me taste before deciding which was helpful. The people who work here are kind and seem like a little family. In fact the owner came around at one point to individually cheers with people which was cute. We really enjoyed the warm intimate atmosphere and would love to go back.
