They have a very loyal and strong following so just walking in and getting a table is not likely. Had the Wiener schnitzel (small portion) and it was more than enough. Came with nice dinner salad, a choice of side and applesauce. I am no expert on Hungarian food but this was excellent. Light, crispy and tender. Also has a couple of Hungarian wines and Beer available. I had a Ukrainian beer that was very good. Service was good, seems like a family business that took good care of all the patrons. If there is one issue...because the restaurant is so small, table are really close together so just be aware. All in all a solid experience that satisfies on all counts.

We sat right next to the one that showed the Dubrovnik coast. I just got back from that area, so it was the perfect table for us! I thought the food was pretty good. I was wondering if it would be similar to Barberton chicken, since that is also from Serbian origins. It tasted a little different, but it was still good. The coleslaw was a little sweet for my taste, but not bad. Jojos were perfectly seasoned and had a nice crispy texture. We were there kind of between lunch and dinner, so it wasn't busy at all.

It was hard to choose what to eat, as the menu items all looked amazing, but I went with the pork schnitzel with paprikas sauce, two eggs, home fries, and toast and a side of smoked Slovenian sausage. I wanted to try the crêpes, but was too full. The portions are hearty and very reasonably priced. Everything was delicious. The pork schnitzel was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The paprikas sauce was a nice accompaniment. The home fries are homemade and come fried on the griddle so the outside is crispy and the inside light and fluffy. The coffee was delicious. Very rich, mellow flavor. I'll definitely be back. Those European pastries beckon!

The pastry case is hard to resist!

From looking at the menu, walking into to pick it up, eating it at home, this place did not disappoint. Let me start with the menu, everything looked and sounded amazing. Ordered some traditional pork schnitzel, a kase schnitzel and a wurst plate. Next, when I pulled up, pretty unassuming but loved the look of their enclosed patio. Once I walked in though, the ambiance, decor, smells...wow!!! Looking forward to eating in at some point and enjoying the gorgeous patio room! Now let's get to the good part, my drive home was filled with absolute mouth watering smells, my family was amazed I made it home without stopping and doing some taste testing. Everything was spectacular. I do need to specifically point out the kase schnitzel was the greatest meal by far, the creaminess, light hint of lemon... cooked to perfection. If this app would let me give more than 5 stars I'd just keep hitting them until another schnitzel showed up in front of me. Great restaurant. (The waitress who helped us when we got there also deserves 5 stars, super helpful, friendly and definitely had a great vibe)

Stuffed peppers were excellent.

We got the green bean app for the table. They are cooked perfectly with teriyaki glaze and some tempura but not a lot. They have a sauce that has a bit of a kick but not bad. These are good and good to share. Good portion. I ordered the steak and gruyere sandwich and chips. Sandwich was good. Not big but very flavorful and good. Would have liked a bigger banquette for the sandwich. Ok amount of meat. It was good. The chip side was very crunch and good amount. But to me the chips were a bit greasy tasting. Needed more salt and a bit of flavor. It was a ok meal. The friend that suggested the restaurant got the Ohio burger. It was huge. She cut it into 4's and only ate half. It was big!
