    Potato soup
    Nataliya K.

    The restaurant is very unique inside . Plenty of dolls that the owner has been collected since the place was opened . Service was really attentive and welcoming , I liked that our waiter was wearing German style dress The food was a bit over priced . I wish it could be less pricey Potato pancakes were too greesy and had more bread inside then potato.... Three of us ordered soup : potato soup, beef stew soup and soup with liver and it was good They also have kids menu, my niece really enjoyed chicken fingers and French fries .

    CASH ONLY! Just thought I would throw that out there (but they have an ATM inside so its ok) ..I cant say enough about this place and how good it is! Years and years ago when they first opened I remember that they seemed expensive and the mashed potatoes tasted like they were instant so I never went back, even though I grew up and lived less than three miles from them my whole life... Then I decided to try em again a couple years ago after hearing how so many people love this place... NOW I LOVE THIS PLACE TOO!! The salad and soups are incredible, breads before the meal are tastey and the food is phenominal! We love going for lunch throughout the year and doing Christmas Eve dinner where they have 3 special items (duck, ham hock, and goose).

    Delicious pierogis.

    Went to Sebastian's for a pre Christmas dinner with a couple of friends. The place was very festively decorated with lots of Christmas lights, a beautiful Christmas tree and lots of beer steins, dolls and other knick-knacks. You will even find this type of decor in the bathroom! Service was quick, accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed pierogis, German house salad and chicken schnitzel with spaetzle. The chicken was huge! It was probably enough to feed the three of us. Bring cash because it's cash only - although they do have an ATM but you will pay a fee! But there's a Wawa not too far up the road if you want to avoid the fee. It's also byob.

    We catered our Christmas dinner with Sebastian's Schnitzelhaus! We saved so much time, effort, and stress. Added so much more family time. We had 2 roast ducks, potato pancakes, mashed potatoes, greens beens, deviled eggs, and an apple strudel. It was supposed to feed six people, but could have easily fed eight. All for $245! They also had other options. We were so happy and we'll definitely do it again

    We visited on Sunday for lunch with a party of two after visiting the nearby cemetery and it was a very nice experience. We arrived and were seated right away at a spacious table. The interior is quite unique, with lots of festive decorations. We started with Perogi and the Gulaschsuppe soup as appetizers, they were well prepared and tasty. We then went with Jaeger Schnitzel, the Grilled Wurst Platter, and a side of Spaetzle. Everything was outstanding with huge portions. The service was excellent, the waiter was friendly, prompt, and professional. Overall, the best German place in NJ.

    This is an EXPERIENCE!!! I literally felt like I was in Germany and Disney all at once lol. The people there are SO very friendly and literally welcome you with open arms. The food was delicious and servings are very generous. My fiance and I shared the shnitzel combo and had a ton of leftovers to take home. 10/10 would recommend, will absolutely be back again!!! Their bread basket was to die for with the garlic/onion rye OMG

    Schweine Schnitzel

    If you're feeling like eating some German food, especially schnitzel, well this place is for you. When you walk inside you'll feel like you were transported to Germany and entering one of their quaint, traditional restaurants. Beautifully decorated inside with dolls, beer steins, lights and all kinds of pictures and German paraphernalia, so nice. The service is also nice and attentive. We were immediately seated by one of the servers who was not only friendly but dressed in a beautiful German style dress. Well I came with schnitzel in mind and schnitzel is what I got. But before I had that we started off with some Gulaschuppe which is a hearty, rich beef soup, filled with meat and so flavorful and delicious. This could have been a meal in itself. Now we had to try the Potato Pancakes because I love me some potato pancakes, especially authentic German style potato pancakes. They didn't disappoint, although a little thicker than I'm used to but delicious all the same. Well this could have been enough quite frankly but we didn't even get to our main courses. Of course now I got my Schnitzel and it was a huge schnitzel. The pork was pounded thin and fried perfectly and when I couldn't decide what gravy should accompany my schnitzel, our waiter was nice enough to let me have a little of both in separate bowls. Both were good, one was a mushroom gravy while the other was a creamy white gravy. My schnitzel was also accompanied by a serving of warm German potato salad made with vinegar, not only authentic but delicious too. My wife went with the Stuffed Cabbage and served with creamy mashed potatoes. She loved it, big cabbage stuffed with savory beef, it was excellent. Now across from our table was a dessert case filled with delicious looking cakes, pies and pastries and they looked amazing but we just didn't have any more room. Next time and this place was so good, there will definitely be a next time.

    Hiker our server was fabulous. Very attentive and all my questions were answered. I've never had schnitzel so I was very curious. The interior was very different. Hummels, beer steins, and dolls line the walls. And they are clean, no visible dust. Tells you a lot about the place where food is prepared. We were ordering from the Lunch Specials menu. And this place is a BYOB, so the drinks we brought were nice ice cold beers. Compliments to me lol. Wife had a salad which had beets, carrots, cabbage, and some other stuff that she enjoyed & it is included on the lunch special menu with her lunch order. I order the #8 SCHWEINE SCHNITZEL (Breaded Pork) with German Potato Salad. This potato salad was like nothing I've ever had. I actually thought it was mashed potatoes when it arrived. The Gulaschsuppe - (Hungarian Stew) came alone & first ...good thing..it was out of this world...$2 extra but wow well worth it.. nice portion. I had to google it before I ordered...not disappointed) I used most of my bread (also delicious) cleaning out the bowl. They brought more bread too. Butter was great! And I finished the bread with my gravy! Not a drop left. My wife ordered the #7 BREADED & PAN FRIED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL (Boneless Breast) with French Fries. She swapped out the French fries for the potato salad. The food here was great and so was the atmosphere & service. It's just n my list of places I need to revisit! Enjoy yourself and bring your appetite.

    Dinner Marinated & Boiled Cured Pork Shank
    Carrie S.

    I decided to try it after reading the good reviews. I was honestly shocked when we walked in and they asked if we had a reservation. They sat us after some discussion. I highly recommend reservations.....at least on the weekend. Who knew?? Apparently there is a pork shank special on Fridays and we were able to get one of those. I ordered the Polish platter - stuffed cabbage, spatzel, and pierogis. I chose the red cabbage for the side. I'm Polish and I have never made such tender, juicy cabbage rolls. The tomato creme sauce was out of this world. I could eat a bowl of spatzel or pasta in that sauce. The pierogis were ok. The filling was very smooth. The dough was light. I'm not sure if they're homemade. They were so uniform. Definitely didn't look like mine but I'm a home cook so never perfection lol. The red cabbage wasn't bad. The spice was a little overpowering. I actually prefer it cold so I took the leftovers home. I need to talk about the pork shank. It was pull off the bone deliciousness. And I was just sneaking bites. We took a lot home. The entrees come with soup or salad. The salad was delicious. It's pickle based. Pickled vegetables over lettuce. The vinegar is not overwhelming. I don't know how to review the decor. It's a lot of knickknacks but it set the mood for the experience. I recommend going with an open mind. The service was great. Super friendly. A little cheeky but I appreciated the hospitality.

    Legit German kitchen with overstuffed gitch dining room that felt like a cross between a Teutonic antique shop and schnitzel emporium with a side of wurst. My Chicken Schnitzel lunch came with fries and management brought over a stainless gravy boat full of Rahm brown sauce (delicious w heavy cream and white wine) for dipping both the flattened breaded fried chicken and the frenchies. The Potato Soup (w carrot, celery and bits of ham) was a strong appetizer, although it may have been slightly over-salted. People around me were regulars who knew what they loved; ordering desserts and soups to go after manging down large lunch platters where they sat. Owners/chefs out and about chatting with customers obviously proud of what they had created; building a little piece of Deutchland here in Burlington County, NJ, right outside Fort Dix. I enjoyed the experience and attention. Plenty to look at on the walls and shelves, even a nice Hummel collection in the hall to the restrooms. Aside from the salt, lack of liquor license and the impression that this traditional schnitzelhaus might be even better if they broadened the cuisine to include more Central European dishes from beyond the Rhine.

    Killmeyer's Old Bavarian Inn is the sole remaining German kitchen on Staten Island, originating in…read morethe 1850s and owned for the past 30 years by the Tirado family. My roots to S.I. don't go back that far, but my grandparents are buried there in an old overgrown Jewish cemetery nearby. The atmosphere is all dark wood and black metal ceilings. The decor approaches medieval. So, if you're into such historicism, just sitting in the dining room or barroom can be quite compelling. It was for me. The food is also very good. Starting with a special flute of Lenderman's Framboise sour beer, we shared the Warsaw Pierogi appetizer (6 large discs filled with smooth mashed potato & cheese mix and covered in translucent sweet onions), and a lunch portion of Jagerschnitzel with Hunter's Sauce (two large pork fillets breaded and pan fried and topped with a delicious brown gravy, sliced lightly fried potatoes, steamed veggies & a sharp steak knife). My companion wanted a German Chocolate Cake dessert, which was an excellent choice to share. Our server was friendly and attentive. We couldn't finish our lunch and I took half to schnitzel home. Walking out, we checked out the beer garden where a few families were gathered on this mid-September Saturday afternoon. Although small, it was a simple attractive backyard with tables and large umbrellas with plenty of trees for shade and breeze. Four point five Stars.

    I have been going to Killmeyer's for years. Did take a hiatus and finally went back and glad I…read moredid! The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the pierogis which came out hot and with plenty of onions! Perfectly done. The salad with Gorgonzola cheese, baby spinach, cranberries, pignoli nuts; yummy. Have to comment on the steak which was perfectly cooked medium, with mashed potatoes and veggies on the side. The steak was definitely a must have again! Topped off the dinner with Apple Streudel and vanilla ice cream. Again, delicious! Will definitely be going back soon! Service was great and the staff was very attentive.

Living with a family was amazing, I was able to live 'like a local', riding my bike or taking the buses and U-Bahn subway everywhere. Two of the things I enjoyed the most were the great German beers and the delicious German food. These were the days when the beer selection ranged from Genesee to Michelob and Corona was exotic. Good times. Fast forward to this year when good German beer is much easier to buy here but the food is still not so easy to find. Sure you can find 'Americanized" German food like bratwurst, but nothing like what I had all those years ago. Then fellow Yelper Jessica Wa excitedly told me about the Canstatter Volkfest. A real Volksfest, like the ones I went to in Berlin? Yesss! So off we go on a comfortable summer day. The beer was very good Warsteiner, a solid German brand. There were the Americanized German food stands with their "brats" and fries, and then way in the back was the authentic German food. Aaah. This is what I was hoping for and yes, it delivered. Granted, it's still festival food but it was very delicious for that. We enjoyed the music, the crafts, the giant sculpture made entirely of fruits and veggies, but for me the authentic food was the absolute best. Parking was tight - they have a large grassy area that was full, we ended up finding a spot about a block away. Pro tip: There's a full bar inside the main clubhouse open for business AND much better, clean bathrooms too! I'm looking forward to next year, getting my German food fix in again along with some good beer and music too.

The tickets are great because they keep vendors/others from pocketing cash. I understand that... But then they wouldn't buy back the tickets. "Oh, just bring them back next year". Obviously just hoping you don't remember 362 days later to bring something smaller than a book of stamps. But wait, it gets better... Then they won't buy back the pitcher... "Just bring it back next year". UGH okay I get it. You only want my money. But this past year was the icing on the cake. Now the tickets you pay cash for are ONLY good for this year and cannot be used next year. I'm excited for next year when I have to pay to park.
