We got a sampler platter and asked woman who brought it what dish was what and she couldn't tell us so I think some training there would be helpful. I've only had true German food 2 other times and this was as good as that home-made I've had in the past. They give you more than enough as far as portion size.

Today was not so pretty and lunch was inside. There were only three tables occupied, so it was a slow day. The special was the szegediner krautfleisch (pork and sauerkraut stew) with cucumber salad and mashed potatoes. The dish was very good. The pork and kraut stew was a tomato base that was very zesty and paired well with the mashed potatoes and the fresh flavors of the cucumber salad. Service was also attentive. The only downside was the music volume was just a bit too high for lunch and the discussion was harder as we had to try to speak over and listen over the music. It was interesting that the music was that loud with so few patron, especially at lunch (instead of happy hour).

My husband and I were impressed by the meat and cheese plate, that additionally included pickles, apricot jam, and dried cranberries; highly recommend choosing the German meats and cheeses, I was hesitant but they were delicious! For entrees we had the Rachel sandwich and the bratwurst, with sides of red cabbage and Brussels sprouts. I didn't finish the sandwich because of its size and took half to go. The sprouts were fresh and well seasoned, and my husband was still talking about the red cabbage a day later. The German beer list is extensive and the server recommended a couple to me, and let me taste before deciding which was helpful. The people who work here are kind and seem like a little family. In fact the owner came around at one point to individually cheers with people which was cute. We really enjoyed the warm intimate atmosphere and would love to go back.

I was a solitary diner on my birthday and had a hankering for German food. There aren't many…read moreGerman restaurants in my home state so I was surprised that I could find one in Pigeon Forge. I ordered the traditional schnitzel (pork cutlet that was pounded thin). It was not breaded, but it was coated with egg and flour and prepared well. I had the German potato salad and red cabbage side orders. Both were served warm as is custom. I was a bit upset that the waiter gave me the bill when the meal was finished. I told him it was my birthday and that I had wanted coffee and cake. He took the bill and crumpled it in his hand. The portion of cake that he presented could have easily served three! I left the top frosting. The chocolate cake was moist and the frosting between the layers was German chocolate. Available seating offerings were a booth, table, or a table al fresco. It had the beer garden appeal. I opted to sit inside. The restaurant is also very family oriented (as are most things in Pigeon Forge). Prices were reasonable, food was served at the correct temperature, portions were prodigious. The venue was also immaculate. I would recommend this tavern to anyone who appreciates German fare.

What was once a quaint spot with outstanding service and mouthwatering food now feels like just another restaurant. The atmosphere was fine and the service was still good, but the food didn't live up to our previous experience. We both ordered schnitzel--mine with Jäger gravy and my wife's with Gypsy gravy. Mine was decent, but hers was noticeably different from what she remembered. She had really been looking forward to it and ended up quite disappointed. It wasn't a bad meal, but it definitely didn't recapture what made our first visit so memorable.

As someone who's been in the food service industry since I was 15, I know that this is the least efficient way to be getting orders done. Main problem was he was not only rude, but touching MONEY with the same gloves that he used to prepare/cook food. I watched him pull his wallet out, put money in there, put it back in his pocket, and pulled his pants up from his butt with the same gloved hand. Right after that did scooped the customers fries into the container and gave it to them. Thankful I was just getting a coke. Disgusting, the bare minimum is changing ur gloves.
