    German potato salad
    Teresa F.

    The food is superb. Flavors I haven't tasted since my German/Hungarian grandmother was alive some 40 years ago. I've been really craving this type of real home cooked meal but don't have the skills or knowledge to pull it off. The owner is very helpful and offered us tastes of dishes we weren't familiar with. Last night we ordered the sauerkraut stew w German potato salad and beef goulash with spatzle. Today I came back for the cabbage rolls and they were so good I took an order to go for my daughter. I look forward to returning and trying other dishes. The restaurant is casual and colorful and very clean. I'm so grateful to have such a special place so close by.

    European food is pretty tough to come by, especially German-Hungarian, which is what this place specializes in. And that's what piqued my interest as I visited this place. The staff are very friendly - even if you've never been there before, they treat you like a long time friend - a welcome way to break the monotony of the daily grind! The waitress serving me was very thorough in explaining how the menu worked - and there was quite a lot that caught my eye, from the salads to the entree choices. Ultimately, since it was chilly, I opted for soup - a kind of pea or lentil soup, and it was pretty good. For my entree, I ordered the fish schnitzel with rice. It wasn't bad, but it seemed a bit like just regular fried fish like you'd get at a fish-and-chips place. Nothing I'd write home about, and probably not something I'd pay $22 for. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you're looking to try something different. They have a rotating menu, and there's definitely more I'd like to try out like the Hunter's Chicken and the cabbage rolls, as well as the pasta, potatoes, and salads. Stay for a quick chat with the owners or some espresso, and maybe even visit the little market-like shelves they have - I got myself a rather expensive box of chocolates - though to be fair they were filled with brandy!

    Ordered cabbage rolls, green apple lemonade, and Jager schnitzel. Owner didn't seem to be in a good mood when we came, since we got there a few minutes before they were supposed to open. Food was very homely. Will remind you of your grandmother cooking for you when it's raining. Portions a little on the small side.

    Chicken Paprikas
    Lydia L.

    We came here for a late lunch (~1PM) on Saturday. Only two tables were occupied. All three lunch sets were the same price - $12.99, containing an entree, a soup/salad and a carbs option. I ordered the chicken paprikas lunch set with goulash soup and garden salad (subbed the carbs with the salad). My friend ordered the cabbage roll with goulash soup and spatzle. Usually chicken paprikas is marinated chicken thigh with spatzle but here they listed the chicken and spatzle separately. The food was delicious. Both the goulash soup and the chicken paprikas had authentic flavors, but I wish they used a bigger piece of chicken thigh. The desserts we ordered were okay - too sweet for me. My friend found a piece of mold in the chocolate dessert we had (he tasted it first then spotted it). Elizabeth (the owner) offered us a free item at the same price of the dessert. If it wasn't so far away I'd definitely be back :)

    I ordered beef goulash to go. I couldn't eat it. Was way too salty and the meat was tough. So disappointed.

    Looked at the website prior to coming. It consisted of a 90's looking PDF and the words "lefse,…read morelefse, lefse, FRESH LEFSE, everyday." I was in Starwood a little early for a Dr's appointment and had an hour to wait until they opened so I went to a local park and walked around. Upon arriving the open light wasn't on. I waited 15 minutes until someone finally came out. I get out of my car and am greeted by whom I assume is the employee telling me "are you here to look" and "oh you can go in then". Glad I had permission to enter a shop that should have already been open for 20mins. As I look around the tiny closet of a shop she begins asking me "what am I looking for" I tell her lefse for sure and maybe a gift if I find the right thing. I can't say for sure but I got the vibe she thought I was stealing. This shop is so tiny she literally has merchandise on the floor for lack of space. There's no way it is ADA compliant or up to fire code. I don't find anything I like and proceed to the counter and inquire about the Lefse. She explains it comes in packs of 6 is 10.50 a pack and asks how many I want. I request 2 and then watch as she clears merchandise off of a freezer and removes prepackaged Lefse. I debate internally whether to get it or leave and get the ingredients to make. Ultimately considering the labor it takes to make I opted to buy. I get my card out and she proceeds to ask if I wanted a 3rd pack because she "doesn't do card for less than $30. If not I'll have to calculate the tax." I let her do her calculations and leave with my frozen not "fresh" lefse. In my car I look at the lefse in question to see where it came from. Some place in ND called Freddy's. Further inspection of the package and I see no indication as to when it was made or when it expires. I check their website to see what kind of markup I just took and surprisingly found it to be close to what I had just paid. Moral of the story is... if you want lefse either make it yourself or look online where you can just order it. Also maybe charge sales tax as it's the law and look into whether a wheel chair can fit inside your fire-nightmare death-trap of a closet. Oh...and update your website so as to not falsely advertise fresh food. As to the employee I cannot say she was particularly rude like many other ratings have said but she wasn't particularly nice either and I got the impression she doesn't particularly care. Uff Da, what a bad experience!

As we arrived, we weren't sure if needed to seat ourselves but by the time we were about to look at a sign, a kind waitress let us know that we can seat ourselves anywhere and brought us menus. I saw that they had tables with fires which was really cool but unfortunately there were a lot of people sitting there so we just sat at the longer tables. The interior of this place is huge and bright! They have plenty of seating inside and it looks like they do outdoor seating which is dog friendly. We were told that they will have days where they have musicians playing German music and that it attracts quite a large crowd. Our waitress Sara was hilarious, personable and did a great job of taking care of us. She really made the visit all the more memorable and fun! We did order a lot: Berliner Platter with chips and spatzle, Berliner Sliders with fries and a bratzel. We did not realize just how huge the portions were for everything, like the platter was going to be big but we weren't expecting the amount of food for other order. Everything tasted absolutely amazing though! We really enjoyed everything and they do not mess around with flavors cause you taste exactly what they advertised. The house made chips were also fantastic and probably some of the best I've ever had. My boyfriend and I are excited to return and definitely will be sharing this spot to others as we thought we had to drive to Leavenworth for good German food but it is closer to home than we thought!
