We were welcomed with warm smiles and walked straight to the deli. We shared the Rubinstein and bratwurst (everything on it). It's true - it does take a while for the food to be made but it's so worth it. The meat is sliced is front of you and made to order. My favorite is their cucumber side that's drenched in dill sauce. $2+ beers for happy hour, everyday! Kolsch beer all the way, baby! Shoutout to the chef making our sandwiches. I didn't get his name but he's a super nice guy with a black beard. He was apologetic for the wait - but we assured him there's no rush. We will always wait for quality food! Another shoutout to Priscilla, who was so kind when cashing out our order. We're so ready to come back... tomorrow (haha)! Thank you, Hollerbach team who worked tonight (3/29/2026). We hope you always serve us. Now I don't have to travel 10 hours to Europe for a brat. Love this place.

Absolut kostliche und authentische deutsche Desserts, täglich frisch serviert !…read more Yes I am German so I had to make this review authentic since this amazing place brings back all the good memories of my roots and childhood. If you want fresh baked bread, desserts , great bier and ingredients , you must come down to this gem located in Sanford Florida! The market has a great variety of deli meats, bakery items, pantry ingredients and of course German candies and chocolates. After you shop, grab a bratwurst and cold bier and sit outside to enjoy the surroundings or go next store the Hollerbachs restaurant and have lunch or dinner. This is the best German market & restaurant in Florida !

We were craving a regular cheeseburger, and happened to see this place had good recommendations. So glad we stopped in. It's a little in the cuts, behind the bridge leaving Sanford to head to Deland, and if you aren't paying attention you might miss it. But when you get there you're blown away by the quaintness of it, the gorgeous view, and true southern hospitality. The menu is extensive, and the boast that they have the best Philly in town (will have to try it), and they also serve breakfast all day on Sundays. Oh, I totally forgot to mention that some deity must supply the veggies cause they taste heaven sent. My bf that doesn't even like tomatoes commented about how fresh and tiny they were. We got two cheeseburgers, 2 fries, and 2 drinks for under $20. Can't be beat!

It's the perfect balance of tang from the broth and salt from the layer of gooey cheese. If you wanna feed a family - get the calzone as it's a large mammoth of goodness. Otherwise I typically opt for a spicy Italian sandwich. The service is always friendly and they are always aware of what's happening, even in the busiest of days. So be patient and enjoy time with family and some comfort food.

Every single pickle had its own unique flavor and was absolutely delicious. I had a craving for a Chicago-style hot dog and was hoping they would have one on the menu. Even though they didn't officially offer it, they were kind enough to make one for me and my husband as close as possible to the real thing. It turned out super delicious! You could tell the hot dog was grilled perfectly and had amazing flavor. We also ordered onion rings and their potato salad, and both were excellent. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. There were still so many things on the menu we wanted to try, so we will definitely be coming back!

A spot I've been wanting to try for years, and I was so happy to find that it was worth the wait!…read moreThe day I went, there was a line outside that looked like it would take forever, but for a party of 2 it probably only took around 20 minutes to get a table. For larger parties, they will take your phone number and notify you when your table is ready so that your group can wander the shops nearby or grab a drink at The Lodge bar (part of Hollerbach's). There is a ton of seating both inside and outside, and at certain times there is live German music inside which is broadcasted outside on TV and speakers! One thing I was really impressed by was their ability to substitute sides. I substituted both of my sides for no extra charge. I highly recommend the German potato salad (warm kartoffelsalat) instead of French fries for a way more traditional schnitzel experience. The cucumber salad (gurkensalat), egg noodles with gravy (spätzle mit soße), and sauerkraut (sauerkraut) were all delightful as well! The atmosphere is lively, noisy, and fun (especially on the weekends) with people doing shotskis and passing around Das Boot!

Service was not the greatest without server, hard to get her attention for things. I got the paprikaschnitzel with heaven and earth potates and a salad. All great flavors and were really good. Only disappointment was the potato were a little dry and I needed some gravy for them. She got the schnitzel weiner art with potatoes and salad. Hers was really good too It's always a good time sitting inside with the music and singing. Can be a bit loud at times and hard to hear each other. But it was too hot to eat outside. Will definitely be back. Need to check out the upstairs rooftop patio area.

Cavallari is a small Italian local market. They offer a large variety of items. It is your small…read moregrocery store but you can really find everything you might be looking for. They do not carry a bunch of brand names, but more specialty items. If you are looking to make a nice meal, especially Italian, this is your stop. They also offer prepackaged items such as sauce, pasta, chips, etc., drinks, ready to heat meals, and fresh meats and prepared salads. We do not live close to them but we will always stop when in the area. When we do visit, it looks at through many people shop here for their weekly items, as they seem to know the employees but then there are some such as us, that come for that special item. If we lived closer, we would buy a lot of items here more frequently. The first time my wife and I stopped in, we ended up talking to one of the employees, who was so nice, gave us his recommendations, and even offered us a sample of the Cavallari Chicken Salad. Immediately sold! It was so good, we turned around and ordered the large tub. Their chicken salad is one of the best I have ever had. It is full of chicken, celery and onion. The other item my wife always has to pick up are their Italian cookies. They are from a local baker, and are so delicious. Look for them near the register. Overall I would highly recommend checking them out. We will visit every time we are in the area, but I would suggest trying them out. Get the chicken salad! Don't skip on it! ACES!

They have prepackaged items such as sauce, pasta, chips, etc. to drinks, to meals to be heated and then fresh meats and prepared salads. It seems like many people shop here for their weekly items, and then some more to get those specialty items. This is very far from our house so we do not get to come often. However, it is the same shopping center where I get my hair done. So every single time I get my hair done, we have to stop in here as well and grab some things. Since it is about 45 minutes, we are not coming here often, but if we did live closer, we would buy a lot of items here more frequently. The first time we went in, we ended up talking to one of the employees, he was very nice, told us about the store and recommended the famous Cavallari Chicken Salad. He even gave us a big sample and we were sold. Their chicken salad is one of the best I have ever had. It is full of chicken, celery and then onion. Not my favorite, the onion, but I can pick them out. We will always get a pound of the chicken salad. The other item we really like are their Italian cookies. They are from a local baker, and are so delicious. They have a few different types and are near the register. Their meat options look great as well. Really great variety including steaks, chicken, sausages and more. Overall I would highly recommend checking them out.

Young girl at the register was nice, tall cook with gotee and baseball cap, NOT so friendly. He didn't say my name correctly which is ok. However, when I went to retrieve my food, eyes locked in, big smile on my face (I was hungry, lol) , and said thank you - death look. No expression, no - your welcome, enjoy, etc. I was hesitant to even say this but this is what this platform is for.. borderline racist as he was nice to other people of lighter skin ); . Just made me feel not welcomed at all. I even said thank you twice. Sometimes kitchens can be a little loud and I can understand if he didn't hear me the first time,, but I know he saw my lips move as we were looking right at each other... Anyway. Overall food was good, a little pricey for a sandwich, fries and a can soda though. For nearly $22 you can eat at sit down restaurant, have quality food and be served with sit down experience. Overall I'd come back as I know what to expect from this location. I've visited another location on LEE RD for to-go but I was in and out... I had the Daily Cheesesteak special. $16.95. I added a cheese sauce $1.30. All together 21.36 total.

When I looked at the address and closing time, they were closing at 8 and we would be arriving at 7:40 so I didn't want to make them make us a sandwich so late right before closing but the craving was so bad that we just decided to go. We got there at 7:40 and were greeted so lovingly by Ava (the owners sister). I began to apologize for being so late and making them do more work and that's when the owner (Jack) walked in and mentioned how it was not a problem and reassured me that if they had to serve me at 8pm then they would. They made the atmosphere so delightful and it allowed for the food to be that much better. Not only were the Philly's PHENOMENAL!!!!! But the service was absolutely incredible 10/10! We already can't wait to come back and bring our friends to try them out and meet them. Side note: IT IS SUUUUUUUPER CLEAN! It does not look like your typical sub spot where it's more run down and dinghy. They keep it cleaner than most of our homes to be honest lol I truly felt taken care of not just with the food but with the quality of service! 10/10 Philly Bros!

Beware the pizza is pretty thin though so I wouldn't recommend splitting with more than 2 people. We were seated right next to the dessert case, which made it hard for us to say no. The brownie/strawberry cheesecake was amazing. The inside gives diner vibes and the outside offers nice seating when the weather is well.
