The light lemon dressing on the salad was delicious. The side of potatoes (flavorful, crunchy, well-seasoned) rivals any french fry. The potato salad was also wonderful. Next time, we must order dessert!

(3.5 stars) Loved the decor of this restaurant and the food was enjoyable but didn't leave me…read moreenamored. The beef goulash was a meat explosion of beef, bacon and sausage. The beef itself was actually pretty awesome, especially in that sauce. The dish could have used some color and more potato/starch to soak up the sauce and maybe add some more texture. The sausage and pickle while aesthetically pleasing didn't go along with the dish very well but were nice on their own. You will definitely be full after it. The beef goulash alone would have made this a 4 star joint for sure but the spatsel was just very disappointing. Super dull and dense without much richness. I had a few bites but didn't really wanna go back for more. Really enjoyed the beer though!

A friend and I saw the reviews in Yelp and thought we would give the place a try. We showed up at…read more7:30 on a Saturday evening without a reservation, but were welcomed and they found a spot to seat us. The manager/owner came over and greeted us and explained the differences between a German restraunt and an Austrian one. He suggested the Wiener schnitzel and we both ordered that. We walked us through their wine list and we took his recommendation on an Austrian white that was very good, paired well with the schnitzel and was reasonably priced. I visit Germany A couple of times a year and would say this was probably the best schnitzel I can remember. Fork tender and great flavor. Great alternative to the touristy hustle-and-bustle of the Altstadt area. Will visit them again on my next vIsit to Dusseldorf.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!!! Got the spatzle and two cheese…read moreschnitzels, one with jaegar sauce without bacon and the other Balkan. The spazle portion was enormous and loaded with gorgeously caramelized onions and cheese. The cheese schnitzels were exactly as you could imagine, crispy crunchy on the outside with a golden crusty and ooey gooey stretchy cheese on the inside, paired with either sauce it was fantastic. Jaegar sauce was packed with mushrooms in a brown gravy and the Balkan were fresh chopped onions, a flavorful red sauce and a white sauce with fresh herbs. Amazing amazing. Easily one of the best meals I had on my trip. Oh I made a reservation by the way so not sure how walking in would look like. Staff were very nice.

For my meal, I ordered the wiener schnitzel with jager sauce (my go to schnitzel order). This was the best I had. Massive portions (I couldn't finish it) and perfectly cooked and seasoned veal made this dish about as close to a 10 as you can get. The spaetzle was about what you would expect. The service was friendly and timely which I appreciated. This is worth traveling for.

This restaurant made me feel like Bavaria was in the center of Cologne…read more A modern take on rustic German tavern decor. The interior is just lovely. Large outdoor patio area. We chose to eat outside. We opted for fondue and what a perfect choice it was. Bread and veg for dipping. We also got a soft pretzel for fondue dipping. Drank Spaten beer, a refreshing, classic Bavarian beer. The fondue was some of the best cheese ever. It was Gruyère, Appenzeller (a firm Swiss), and Emmentaler (semi-hard yellow cheese) with cherry brandy and white wine. Served with potatoes, bread, and as mentioned above other veg. This centre city establishment is a must-eat.
