After shopping, we decided to have dinner at a local tavern. It's a small restaurant, and the…read moretables are quite close together, but not too close. The atmosphere is very pleasant and I really liked the decorations and lots of photos. It was quite noisy - there was a football game on, but my husband and I like this kind of atmosphere - otherwise we would go to sports bars. The food and drinks were typical bar fare, deliciously prepared. The chicken wings were generously sized, and the chicken sandwich with fries was perfectly prepared--juicy, on a crispy baguette. I didn't have time to take photos--only of the dining room--because we were all so hungry we wolfed it all down I just wish the manager would increase the number of staff during peak hours, like during a football game. We had to wait quite a while for someone to come to us with menus, then with our order, and the drinks only arrived 20-25 minutes later, just when we were about to leave. The only thing that saved the situation was seeing how hard the waiters and bar staff worked. Plus, everyone was incredibly polite, with smiles. How could you turn down such hospitality? Please, managers, increase the staff a little during rush hour. We'll definitely be back

We definitely wasn't one of the locals but we stilled enjoyed ourselves. The service was good, she was going back and forth from the bar and tables so it took a little bit but not complaints. It's been over 10 years since I bee here last a the wings still taste the same. Consistency is key!!!! Can't wait to come back again for date night.

This place is the things you'd want in an outdoor Beer garden - casual eats in the Brat Haus and beers on tap. Not to mention the in-house private event space that does have air conditioning. Perfect for parties of 20-700! Says it on the website and I wouldn't have believed it until I saw it myself. This review is for The Hive restaurant specifically since that's where I had my meal. A beautiful bar with a Stein wall with lockers for patrons who wish to store them - you see that just past the host station. The indoor dining room just beyond. We started with the Wurst Sampler Platter. Think bratwurst, knackwurst, krainerwurst, and jalapeno cheddar bratwurst. I had no idea there were so many varieties and it was paired with the best potato salad I've ever had. Authentic and delicious sauerkraut to match. Also ordered the House-Cured Slab bacon, paired with a blackberry gastrique. Excellent choices I must say. For dinner, we just had to try the Schnitzel. Admittingly, it was hard to decide (all were veal options and there was one chicken option)! I chose the Champignon Rahmschnitzel and hubby got the Jager Schnitzel. Both were topped with sauce and mushrooms - but entirely different. The Rahmschitzel was breaded veal and had a white creamy mushroom sauce. So delicious! And the Jager one was pan-seared veal with a demi-glace sauce. Outstanding as expected...I was literally drooling at every plate that passed me by. Topped my meal with some hard cider and I was golden. Stuffed and happy! Plattduetsche Park is so rich in history and they have established roots in the community going back 100+ years (established in 1901). What a fantastic place to be - come for the great cuisine and the culture. No special occasion needed. (Reservations suggested for The Hive restaurant - opens daily starting at 3PM). BTW, the Ompahfest (festival) is on Sept. 20th, 2026. Zum Wohl!

We were shoulder to shoulder to each other. I had to straddle a table leg because of the way the table was set up. I could not get my chair under the table. There was barely any room for our plates and glasses. Even though it was a Mother's Day event, there was not a kids' menu- which makes no sense bc you know kids will be at this event! Two of our dishes had to be sent back because they were cold. It's nice that they hire the local kids and the service was good. Overall, just a bad experience. I do not think we will come back for a special holiday again.

Hands down the worst bar I have ever been to. Not only are the customers there rude and annoying, so is bartender. She was beyond rude and I can't believe someone like that works in the industry. I have worked as a waitress/hostess/bartender and someone like that should be fired. Get yourself some new customers and employees and maybe you will do better. Definitely not coming back here again. So turned off by the bartender she was rude and sucked. read more

But on all the social media sites I checked, including Yelp, opening time was referenced as 12 noon. When we arrived at 12 the door was locked.

When my wife explained that various sites indicate the opening time at 12 he seemed surprised, but not especially concerned nor apologetic, and simply repeated that we should come back at 1. I was about to mention to him that since we live about 20 minutes away and that traveling back and forth would be impractical, as would be walking around for 50 minutes, perhaps we could be permitted to visit somewhat earlier. But by then, the door was closed. It's a shame. The bar has so many glowing reviews and it looks like a cool place. Too bad we'll never see the inside.
