For dinner, I ordered the schweinshaxe (pork knuckle) which came with sauerkraut, roasted potatoes,…read moreand their beer sauce and spargel with hollandaise sauce. The schweinshaxe was enormous (1kg!) and delicious. The skin was so crispy, but the meat was moist and flavorful. The spargel was good, but I prefer my asparagus grilled and green. Fast and friendly service. Approximately $40 USD (excluding tip) for spargel, schweinshaxe, small beer and bottle of still water.

Every time I am in Dortmund I came here the food is fantastic and the outside patio is so much funread more

Enjoyed the crazy green chicken breasts. Best of Germany…read morefor sure! I hated to see it go from my plate- bite by bite. Tasty! Worth visiting.

Oi mate, fancy a Wenk?…read more I'll get it out of the way now, the name is funny to English-speakers. Alright, as for the review: I think the place is solid, as long as you know what you're getting into. This is the place in Dortmund for a Schnitzel, some beer, and probably a football match. Better, in my opinion, than Zum Alten Markt across the Platz. At Wenkers they brew their own beer: a Schwarzbier, which I find pretty good, and then their Urtrüb, which I find kinda bland but which my German coworker insists is "süffig" (smooth? quaffable?). Also Kronen Pils is available because come on, you're in Dortmund, there's no escaping the Pilsners. Also Schöfferhofer Weizen but that's honestly one of the worst hefeweizens in my opinion. Hold out for a Paulaner, Weihenstephaner, or Maisel-Weisse if you're in Germany only briefly. Uh, as for Schnitzel, I'm a Pfefferrahm kind of guy. Get a Schnitzel and some beers and consume until you're nice and belly-full.
