I grew up in Germany. Today my wife and I were in Eagle River and saw this establishment. I love real Germany food. When I say I grew up in Germany, I mean more than 20 years of my life.
We walked in and this is not a German restaurant. The menu may have a few so called German items on it. But, it is not German by any means at all. The Owner, by my guess, sits at at a table on his cell right by the front door the entire time, doing paperwork, working on menus and other stuff. Very unprofessional.
The service while friendly was far from what I would call professional at all. Very care free. Almost very informal.
The prices when we looked over the menu I thought for what they offered were high. There were no sides with most of the meals. But, we did decide to give them a chance and order a snack.
My wife ordered the pretzel. For the price, this was small. It was very. It was not soft like a German pretzel. It was very dense. I an willing to bet it is store bought. The only good part my wife said was the German mustard.
I ordered the Bratkartoffeln, traditional potatoes with bacon and onions. What can I say about this dish? They were burnt and tasted so. The cut of the potatoes were of so different sizes that the cook of the potatoes were from raw to burnt. The bacon was burnt to almost black. You almost could not find the onions. To hide the burnt taste, I used the German mustard that came with my wife's dish.
When I go to a German restaurant, I look for German dishes. The menu I saw was not German at all.
I can honestly say that my wife and I will not come back to this establishment again and we will not recommend it to any of our friends. I will also add a post to Trip Advisor about this establishment. read more
