We came with a large group of people due to a family trip (20+ people) with a reservation and the restaurant was well prepared for us. They were able to serve 20+ adults quickly and efficiently, which speaks to the long experience of the service and kitchen staff. Extra star for completing that feat alone! The pork hock was well cooked, very tender and a generous portion for one. If you have a smaller appetite, I would recommend sharing one between two people as the massive amount of meat and fat can be too much for one person. Our plate also had veggies, coleslaw and mash potatoes also. The restaurant is very old and it has some charming relics placed around. Unfortunately the charm does not extend to the washroom, which could really use an update.

Look for specialties like rouladen, schnitzel, sauerbraten and more. Since it is close to the holidays they have a roast duck special for the month of December (yum!). Prices are very reasonable and service is friendly and knowledgeable. They also are licensed so lots of options for beer, wine etc. We had the duck and schnitzel. Soooo good. The duck came with red cabbage and potato patties. The schnitzel came with home fries and steamed vegetables ( although you could have spatzle if you liked). Please note that even though their online menu shows a variety of salads for those who want lighter fare - the menu handed to us did not show those options. My friend was however able to order a Caesar salad with a grilled chicken breast which she said was wonderful. Her hubby had the rouladen. All the meals were great. We were covering the Black Forest cake at the end but could not do it ( the portions being very generous) so we took some slices to go! Great choice as it was delicious. Note- if you are small portion eaters think about sharing a meal or be prepared to take a good amount home with you!

I cannot believe the embarrassment I felt from Concordia! I thought it would be a nice day/evening out to take our German friends to Concordia for dinner and a few beers. What a disappointment - beyond pathetic! The food was nothing less than a bunch of slop I wouldn't even feed my dog. The old bag serving it was so belligerent even the woman selling the food tickets was shaking her head at the attitude. But enough of the customer service, that I can I get past because that's so typical of Canada anyway. It's the food that I have a real issue with - TOTAL GARBAGE! Lost my appetite just looking at it and just pushed the shit aside. Way to go Concordia, you really represented yourselves well in front of our German visitors. I'm sure they'll have a lot to talk about when they return home. First time in a long time....NEVER AGAIN!!!

This restaurant understands exactly how to make an authentic schnitzel, it was perfect. In the picture the plate doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary but the flavours and textures were delectable. The sauerkraut was house made and was better than many sauerkrauts I've had in Europe. The gravy was outstanding and the potatoes were satisfactory. I think they deserve their title "best schnitzel in town" I agree that it is true.

It's a huge place with a lot of seating and outside patio as well. Great service but only one person taking orders! A little odd! I would definitely come back again!

April 16/2022: Dinner with friends for this review…read more Simply put...this was a mediocre meal with a queen size price tag! I'm finding restaurants are downsizing portion sizes & upsizing pricing. Even charging for items that were once free such as condiments, sauces, etc. We ordered two appetizers to start. The burnt ends spatzle & cheese as well as the German beer & cheese dip. Both were good but not great as I'd hoped. There seemed to be little flavour from the dishes. My main was the pulled pork sandwich with fries. Also had a side of jalapeños corn bread. The sandwich was good but once again was missing the "umph" that I was looking for. The corn bread was simply beyond dry & close to uneatable. I'd of asked for some butter but that would have been an up-charge, I'm sure. All in all, a bit disappointing as I was expecting some extreme flavour from this place! Our server "Anna" was very polite & did a good job. I don't think this is a redo.

They serve a good brunch buffet on weekends - great for starving university kids like us. Their offerings have changed each time we went, though that may have been because it was a Father's Day one of those times. I've seen barbecued chicken, ribs, during weekend brunches etc. Some weekday dinner meals include an unlimited salad bar (eg. Senior's meals and hot turkey/beef dinners). The salad bar is limited, there was lettuce, with the choice of either 'Catalina', 'Strawberry Poppyseed' and Ranch dressings. Sliced hardboiled egg, pickles, various potato/pasta salads were also available at the salad bar.

The buffet isn't setup like a typical buffet as some items are in hot trays behind the bar where the server has to put everything on our plate. This wasn't so bad as she was very courteous and helpful however I was not impressed with the buffet food. The bacon was a 1 out 5 very fatty and unevenly cooked. Potatoes weren't crisp and I would say 10-15 items outside of the salad bar and dessert. I didn't have the prime rib but I was told it was decent. French toast soggy - it was $15/person which I felt was overpriced for the food quality. We would have appreciated water at our tables but they did come around with coffee refills a couple times Salad bar was above average with fresh items and a nice variety of dressings and fixings to choose from. Dessert table consisted of 1 or 2 homemade items with the rest being packaged baked goods and cakes. Plus side there was pitchers of juice so that isn't considered an extra but I ordered a juice before we said we wanted the buffet and had to pay extra for that , alas you can do your own whip cream! Wouldn't go back unless it was a plated breakfast or maybe to try the dinner but not for a while
