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.

I don't come here very often but had a really rude young girl working here several weeks back. She…read morewas rude to the customer in front of me, who did not appear rude to her or provoking in any way. Then when she did my transaction she literally threw my change down on the counter with an attitude while she popped her gum very loudly. She looked very bothered to be helping anyone and had no sense of professionalism at all. Yes, it is just a kiosk at a mall, but I am sure a smile or thank you would have gone a long way, along with handing change back nicely. I had my hand out for the change and she literally chucked it like garbage to where the coins were flying everywhere lol and did not say sorry or attempt to pick anything up. She looked ready to fight the next customer after me and I wish that was an exaggeration. The whole interaction just felt off. I'm not sure what this young lady was going thru but taking it out on customers is not the way to go. To top it off my order was wrong, in that some items were supposed to be salted - unfortunately, the only thing that was salty was her mood. ‍ Would I come back? Sure. Pretzels are great even if the service wasn't. Hoping by the time I return it will be a different experience.

WOW! I ordered the wienerschnitzel with a beurre blanc sauce and spaetzl and it was so fresh, flavorful, and filling. I also had the goulash which was good but honestly I prefer the crappy American version with the noodles lol. My husband got the Schwarbien plate with a smoked pork chop, sausage, and double smoked bacon- I could eat a plate of that bacon by itself it literally melted in my mouth The ambience of the restaurant was a great mix of quaint and cozy while still being upscale Definitely going to keep this in our nice restaurant rotation

I had been following Kurt's Bistro on Instagram since the Covid years, but hadn't had a chance to…read morecome out until recently. My initial impression was very poor. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation, but were told our table was already ready, so we were seated. (The restaurant tables are very close together, so be aware that if anyone in your party is wheelchair bound, it may be difficult for them to maneuver around.) The restaurant is kept very warm inside, and I'm usually someone who feels cold easily, but even I was rather hot. A woman brought water glasses and a water carafe to our table and said, "If you want something besides water, just let me know," and then walked off. So, in my mind, that woman was a food assistant or a food runner. Turned out, she was our waitress! She later stopped by, didn't introduce herself and didn't ask if we'd ever been there before, but did ask if we wanted an appetizer. We ordered Potato Pancakes. She also asked if we wanted bread service, so we said yes. We did notice from other conversations at the very close tables near ours, that many of the customers are regulars and have their favorite waitstaff. The manager had stopped by a table to regrettably inform a couple that their favorite waiter was out for 2 weeks. So, that did give us hope that if they have regulars, it must be good. The Potato Pancakes were delicious! (I didn't even stop to snap a picture because we were very hungry!) My husband ordered the "Bier" + Cheese Burger ($16.95), and I ordered the Pork Shank "Schwweinehaxe" ($34). The waitress said she had to check the availability of the Pork Shank, so I told her that if it wasn't available, to put in Chicken Wienerschnitzel. Then she didn't come back to let us know what the kitchen said. My husband flagged her down to find out if the pork shank was available, and she said she'd forgotten to come back, but that it was. He also told her that it was my birthday, so she brought out a cute birthday tea light for the table. The food was absolutely delicious, and for the price point, you can easily see why people are regulars there! The pork shank was enormous! (We ate off of it 2 more times after we took it home. The restaurant gave us extra gravy at no charge, too.) The rosemary mashed potatoes were very good! The presentation was lovely! My husband really enjoyed his burger. Then for dessert, our waitress brought out a slice of tiramisu with a wedge of chocolate cake over it, berries, whipped cream, and a little birthday candle in it. Turned out really wonderful! Will definitely go back to this unique spot!

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.

We started at the bar, where I was ready to order a couple rounds--until the bartender made it very clear that even one drink was already a burden. I've seen DMV employees bring more warmth and enthusiasm. Undeterred, we moved to the patio, where the host sat us and a waiter promptly delivered menus... and then executed a flawless disappearing act. Not a quick check-in, not a "be right back," just gone like we imagined the whole interaction. At some point it stops being bad service and starts feeling like a social experiment: how long will people sit politely before realizing no one is coming? I'd love to comment on the food, but that would've required ordering it. If the goal is to make guests feel like an inconvenience from start to finish, mission accomplished. Well done Matt.

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.
