Seriously?
When I…read morefirst came to Germany, I used to say: "If you want to have a good meal in Germany, eat German food-it's what they know how to cook." This place is making me rethink that adage.
If you like meager portions and a lumpy sauce hollandaise during the Spargelzeit, then this is definitely the place for you. If you like to pay top dollar for Spätzle from a package, then, by all means go here. If you like really thick Schnitzel (it should be paper thin, people), then, don't think twice, patronize this restaurant right away.
The decor is very folksy (just what one wants with a restaurant with home-cooking), but looks as though it has not been replaced since the seventies. The place does have a retro-feel, yes, but in a completely non-ironic way.
And the prices! You can have a great meal in Darmstadt made by someone who actually knows what they're doing (serving a broken Hollandaise is pretty much unforgivable, imo) for about 30% less in many locales here.
Boo!
