    Amazing authentic pretzels! Really fresh and tasty. I recently moved out of town and make sure this is always a stop when I'm in Pittsburgh

    I always find this restaurant to be great with a side of historical nostalgia. It feels connected…read moreto the history of the area - especially to the Germantown/Deutschtown neighborhood on the northside. There is a large menu here with a lot of German specialities. I got the fish sandwich this time. It was good, but needed a little more spice. The sides here are great -- I'm particular to the einlauf soup (similar to Jewish matzah ball), the homemade chunky applesauce, and the potato pancakes. I have had a stuffed cabbage entree here also when it was offered as a special. This might be a harder restaurant to come to if you are a vegetarian, as there is a lot of meat on the menu -- also a lot of pork and pork sausage, etc for anyone who doesn't eat this. I found there are many other options though for those who eat chicken, fish, or beef. There also is a full bar here and the bar itself is the most nostalgic looking element to the restaurant. Prost!

    We tried it a few months ago and the food was just ok, but we thought we'd give them another…read morechance. I got reminded I wanted to try it one more time after the last review Their hostess needs some training. We got there, she said that they had tables but she was "trying to give the servers a break." I kept asking how long of a wait there would be and she said, "I don't know." We took our chances and waited for about 20 minutes watching her braid her own hair and 3-4 tables leaving before another wait staff finally came out and asked hostess, "have you given them a time?" She told her no and then the woman said, "it's going to be 45 minutes to an hour." We left after having wasted enough time. This place used to be great and we went about once every other month, but now their staff doesn't seem to know what they are doing and we didn't even get a chance to try the food it again.

    Max's Allegheny Tavern - Einlauf Soup: So unique. You could tell it was homemade, just like everything else we had here.
