Just ahead sits a tempting pastry and dessert case that practically begs you to indulge, all within a clean, bright, and genuinely inviting atmosphere. The alcohol beverage selection shows a solid understanding of the classics, particularly when it comes to beers. The staff greeted us warmly upon arrival and smoothly guided us to our seats. Service was friendly overall, though the young woman taking our order was somewhat terse in her descriptions. When selecting wursts, she mistakenly grabbed two identical links despite my request for variety--easily corrected, but a small miss. Fortunately, the knowledgeable short-haired bartender more than compensated, offering thoughtful guidance to other guests on the beer list. The menu itself deserves praise: clear, informative descriptions paired with photographs that prove especially helpful for those less familiar with authentic German cuisine. One notable drawback is the beverage situation. There are no fountain drinks--only bottled and very few selections. and the menu fails to clarify this or detail the drink options at all. For someone who enjoys water throughout a meal to refresh the palate between rich bites, this came as an unwelcome surprise. The Bayerische Brezel arrived as a generously proportioned giant pretzel, beautifully baked with a satisfying chew and perfectly balanced salt crust. Regrettably, the accompanying beer cheese had clearly been microwaved, betrayed by the telltale ring of scorched cheese around the bowl's edge--a disappointing touch. We also requested mustard, which never materialized. The Doppelte Wurstplatte id what I picked and I chose the Gyulai and Landjäger, and the Gyulai was nothing short of masterful: a resounding snap from the casing gave way to an explosively juicy interior packed with deep, well-seasoned flavor. You can taste the pride and precision in every bite--one of the finest wursts I've encountered. I only regretted being on my motorcycle and unable to take several home. The Landjäger, smaller in stature, delivered excellent flavor with its own satisfying snap. While its interior was slightly drier (as is typical for this salami-style sausage), it remained thoroughly enjoyable. Both sausages would happily return to my table. The Spätzle with mushroom sauce featured clearly house-made noodles with ideal springy texture and a well-balanced sauce. It could have used a bolder hand with salt and pepper, plus a more generous scattering of mushrooms, but it was still a very satisfying plate. The Bratkartoffeln arrived less than piping hot, suggesting they had been waiting a few minutes. That said, the seasoning blend was exceptional--bold, complex, and so good I'd happily buy it by the jar. More of that magic dust on the potatoes would have been welcome. The Kroketten were golden and gorgeous, offering a crisp exterior and luxuriously fluffy, creamy interior. While they were a touch mild on their own, they became addictive when dipped into the cream sauce the main was covered in. I could easily demolish an entire bucket of these. The Knödel impressed with textbook execution: perfectly cooked with that ideal balance of fluffy yet substantial density that defines a great dumpling. If you appreciate traditional German dumplings, this is a must-order. Finally, the Rahmschnitzel was a quiet triumph--lightly breaded, fried to golden perfection, and paired with a flavorful, velvety cream sauce. Simple, classic, and executed exactly as it should be. Overall, this is a heartfelt spot with several standout items (especially those wursts) that more than justify a visit. With a few small refinements in execution and service details, it could become a true destination for anyone craving authentic German comfort food.

Took it back and they "replaced" the compressor with a "new" one at least 3 times. I can understand getting a bad part but not 4 in a row. Makes me wonder if they ever changed it to begin with. We were told it's because the part is an after market part. Took it to another shop and he said it shouldn't make that noise. Tried to speak with the owner about a refund and he just wants to refund the part and not the labor. He told the manager to tell us the air blows cold so it's fixed. Owner of the shop told his manager that he would contact us and the owner of the 2nd shop we took it to. The owner hasn't tried to contact either of us or the other shop once.
