The banana was delicious to me, however it wasn't everyone's cup of tea, the Oktoberfest suited everyone's taste. The Oktoberfest. We ordered the JÄGERSCHNITZEL with Veal with the Pancakes and Pierogies. Our two big appetizers are the Onions Rings and Pomme Fries. All delicious. I could've ate two of those schnitzels all on my own. The service was excellent. Our server was attentive, super friendly- down to earth guy. The interior also blew me away with their decked out supply of German snacks, deli, beer, chocolate, random grocery assortment, all the way down to the furniture and how the employees dress; you feel like your legit in Germany. On the weekends they also have live performances, unfortunately we got there too late but from what I've heard from others that has been, it's a lively great time. Definitely will be coming back to try enjoy their live performances and food!

The atmosphere is welcoming and the decor is classic German kitsch. However, my visit to the deli…read morewas disappointing. I had such high hopes for this place. :( The selection is very limited and perhaps I missed something (entirely possible), but I did not see a price list for the deli case. We did find a unique assortment of other German products- some we haven't seen in many years. The restaurant portion was quite busy and the customers looked happy. We were flooded with nostalgia and left in hopes of dining in on a less-busy day. I ordered two meats, including the German bologna. During the drive home, my family and I noticed a terrible odor-- the kind where we started pointing fingers at one another. We never suspected that the package from the deli was the source. When we opened it at home, a nauseatingly funky, ammonia-type smell came from the German bologna. While the liverwurst smelled okay, I could not trust it after the bologna and decided against keeping it. Wasted time and money. Dang! The staff is super nice and that was truly a plus. However, I doubt we will be back. My family is very bummed over this.

We shared the pretzel appetizer and the schnitzel & dips. The medium pretzel was good for the 4 of us. The pretzel tasted freshly baked and the beer cheese was delicious. Thr schnitzel & dips were also great and we loved the honey mustard and orange garlic sauces. I got the chicken cordon Bleu which was a generous portion and frankly amazing. I paired it with the cheese spatzle which was like mac and cheese, and I don't usually like cabbage but the red apple cabbage was good! My husband declared the chicken schnitzel and French fries his favorite meal! I wish we had room for dessert because I'm sure it's wonderful too based on everything else we tried. The service was attentive and friendly and we will definitely go back!

Nice outdoor seating although it's on a big road so some noise from the cars. I got the roast beef sandwich with horseeradish and bacon and cheese added and it was delicious!

My wife and I were in the area selling some records when we decided to stop in for lunch. A refreshing Gaffel Kolsch beer with a Bavarian Brat platter. My wife also got the same thing. The food was up quick. A hot German brat, side of sauerkraut and a Bavarian soft pretzel. Mustard to dip. $13.45. It was all good stuff. The brat was perfectly cooked, slightly crispy. The sauerkraut warm and tart. The soft pretzel decent. We'd come back here.

You walk in and it's like a transformed gas station into kind of a deli, kind of a convenience store, and kind of a restaurant. Super duper weird. The menu has a ton of stuff on it. I was feeling like getting some food from my people so thought I'd try this German spot. Up first was the #3 Reuben for $13.95. I love me a good Reuben. However, this is not the place to get a Reuben. Super thin, barely any meat or flavor. It is mostly eating bread. Avoid. Up next, I can't remember what the other sandwich was, but it was bad. I think it was a Cuban, but not sure. It was straight bread. Take a look at the pic. Now, the only above average food item I tried was the German potato salad. I would come back here only for that. Tons of German beers here and souvenirs.
