Zitronen Schnitzel Spaetzle German Dumplings Homemade Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Kayla H.

This place is super cute!!!! Total order came to $60 Also beware they had a 4% uncharge on their check if you pay with card. Additionally we spent $24 on the bakery items (will post later) As we arrived we were immediately greeted and sat promptly by the manager. We was sat at a dirty table and has crumbs and drink rings on the table. One thing I like is that their protocol is to bring waters immediately to the table which is wonderful. Not to long after our waters our actually server came to the table and we shared that the table was dirty and wiped it for us. We decided to order the potato pancakes and I ordered a mango IPA to celebrate a whole year without alcohol after getting permission from my doctor to have a beer! :) Anyways, the potato pancakes were delicious, crispy and seasoned on the outside with a soft pillowy inside. The sour cream was plain as most places usually are but I always suggest a herby sour cream...I guess that is the chef in me. The applesauce was actually a cranberry applesauce and it was pretty great! My wife said she doesn't usually eat potato pancakes with applesauce but she did with this one. After that our server came to take our dinner order. We both ordered the chicken zitrone which means lemon. We both asked for extra lemon butter sauce also instead of the vegetables that came with it we decided to change it. I ordered it with the mashed potatoes and my wife ordered it with german potato sauce. Now let me tell you all now so you are not fooled. Our server NEVER told us nor did the menu tell us it was a $1 up-charge for extra sauce and for the german potato salad. And let me tell you how AMAZING the sauce was! WELL....it wasn't. It was nothing of "lemon butter sauce. If you look really hard it looks like its olive oil with capers sunk down in the bottom and thats EXACTLY how it tasted. It was oil and damn capers. No such thing as a lemon butter sauce. So you can imagine my frustration seeing $2 up charges on my check for sauce that was really olive oil with capers. So as bad as that sounds...it gets worse. Now being in the food Industry for 17 years I have always been taught you need to do 3 minutes, 3 bites and then check on your table....our server did no such thing. We only seen him twice. To place our app order and our dinner meal. We had to ask another server for boxes and the check. We spoke to the manager and there was not much he did for us either. Really nice place, warm and cozy its just service absolutely sucked! Also I am posting a lemon butter sauce below. Ps. Don't sleep on the bakery upfront.

Giant Pretzel

Drove by and decided to stop in for a pretzel and it was amazing! Giant pretzel with mustard and cheese sauce which were both delicious. The cheese had almost a jalapeño taste to it which made it so good. Inside was super cute and the staff was very nice. Everything looks good that was on display and we can't wait to be back for lunch.

Great schnitzel, very good Reuben Quiche, tomato basil soup and Waldorf salad combo is very good. Hot chocolate is delicious!

Decided to stop by while I was exploring the area. First off, parking is plenty and very easy. It is on the corner of an intersection so it's really easy to access. Staff members are great, very friendly and straightforward. This place has a bakery as well as a bar and a restaurant. I decided to sit at the bar. Service is quick and efficient. I ordered Sauerbraten, spätzle, Waldorf salad, and a honeyweizen. The beer was good, a little too much head though. The sauerbraten had a really good vinegar-forward taste, but the beef was a little dry. I was hoping it will have more of a brisket-like texture, but asking for extra gravy helped with the texture. The gravy was delicious, but a little on the lighter color side. I asked for my dessert to go. I ordered the goat cheese cheesecake, and it is delicious. I'm not sure about the crust though, because it is a little crumbly, but oh my goodness, such great flavor

The German Chocolate cake was amazing!

3.5 Stars Ambiance is cool, service was good for us, food was okay. Full bar. SERVICE: When we arrived, the neighboring table complained that they had ordered an hour ago and no food or update on the status was provided by their waitress. Their food finally came shortly after we ordered ours. The gentleman waiting on us was very friendly and stopped by throughout the meal to make sure we were okay. FOOD: Our Beer Cheese Pretzel arrived within 10 minutes, piping hot and delicious. For entrees, we ordered the Rouladen (a German stuffed beef roll with sour cream gravy) and a Jaeger Schnitzel (breaded pork cutlet with red wine mushroom gravy). I usually see these with brown mushroom gravy. My brother really liked his rouladen, but I thought the schnitzel was just okay. Both meals came with a side of Bavarian spaetzel and red cabbage, which was good. BAKERY: (4.5 Stars) The onsite bakery was the highlight for me. They had a nice selection of cake, which could be purchased whole or by the slice, cookies, and other assorted treats. The staff working in this area were fun and expeditious with filling the orders. We took home several slices of cake and a few cookie items to go. The German Chocolate cake, my favorite, was amazing! Overall, a decent experience. However, I wouldn't drive too far out of my way to go. I'd definitely stop in again when visiting the area.

Giant Pretzel

Coming out of Stone Mountain Park and saw this little gem just on a corner while sitting at the red light. Unanimous decision - "turn in." A bit quiet for what I think of for a German restaurant but what it lacked in festive atmosphere it made up for in quality of food and excellent waitstaff. Giant pretzel was a great start then sausage and schnitzels for the table. Flavors were all spot on. Only negative was the up charge to switch out sides. Hated I don't save room for dessert because they looked great. Prices not bad in the $17-$20 range per entree.

Jaegersnitzel

The Village Corner is good, and one of the few German restaurants in the Atlanta area. I had the jaegar schnitzel, red cabbage, and spaetzle (see pic). The schnitzel was good, the spaetzle was okay, and the red cabbage was the highlight of my dinner. My friend had the bratwurst with side of spaetzle, which he enjoyed. The server was not too friendly, which is surprising as most restaurants are doing everything they can to make customers happy during the pandemic. We have been coming here over the years and have been happy with the food. The interior is super cool old school German style, which is really neat. Parking is ample but be careful getting in/out of the busy street out front. Stone Mountain park is just up the street and today we hiked about 8 miles inside the park and were hungry for some good food. The Village Corner accomplished that. Enjoy!

Surprisingly, this place was pretty good. I've heard it was so so. I'm shocked that it has been in business for 46 years. I overhead another waiter say that The Village Corner started out as a bakery then evolved into the restaurant side. It has definitely been around from what I can remember as a little girl visiting the area (Stone Mountain). I had the reuban sandwich; it was a sizable sandwich. I don't think I specified that I wanted the German potato salad substitute, but that was what came out at the higher of the two side options. Meh. But it was a nice stray from the usual fries. The reuban was super messy to consume, but delectable with its flavors and textures. Instead of swiss cheese, it was a saucy cheddar cheese of sorts and sauerkraut. The hubs choose the German sausage plate which you're able to choose two. We ended up with the knockwurst and frikadellen. I really liked the knockwurst as the texture was really soft, almost butter-like. Though the flavors were mild, it tasted really good. The frikadellen was them most different with it being a hamburger of sorts. This had much more aromas and flavors, it also had more sodium. There were also a heaping mound of sauerkraut, German mustard, and a bit of (crispy) potatoes. These both were pretty tasteful dishes. The food would be a 3 1/2 to 4 star experience. Though Reese, our waiter, was friendly, I just don't appreciate the slight sly deception of upcharging. If you recommend something, then just say it. We def needed more water at the end of our meal too so there goes the rounding up of my review.

I have lived in and near downtown Stone Mountain for years and had been wanting to try this place…read more FINALLY made it. Me and a few friends tried it and when I tell you this place is NOT what I thought, but in a good way! First off, our waiter Ted was fantastic. All of us were first timer so he broke everything down, gave us a few faces by patrons and his personal faves. He was patient with us and gave us the best customer service. The restaurant itself is very unique. I love they had a small seating area with a small stage close, there's a private dining area, a bar and table and booth seating. It's not a huge space but it is big enough to be comfortable and cozy. Wasn't loud and even when the artist came up to play music, it wasn't too loud it still blended well with the restaurant noise. Ted emphasized that everything in here is made from scratch except a few things. For starters we had fried okra and a colossal shrimp cocktail. They both were great starters. I had a whiskey sour as well which was really good. I had a hard time choosing but I wound up getting the prime rib sandwich with mashed potatoes, my sis did prime rib as well but with oxtail collard greens and my other sis had the surf and turf special. Everything was so good! It's a good portion of food. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the conversation. Downtown Stone Mountain has a hidden gem here, I'm already planning my trip back!

I wanted to try the jackfruit but unfortunately some vegetarians had cleared the jackfruit before we got there (lol). My husband also got the mix and match combo with blackened salmon, surf and turf, and elote chicken. Both came with cilantro rice and black beans. We also got queso dip as an appetizer. Drinks came and then the appetizer shortly after. Drinks we delicious, with nice flavors. The Queso was good, nothing special. Those tacos, oh my goodness, chefs kiss.

When we arrived around 7 pm, I was expected there to be lot of folks inside but that was not the case. Stepping into the restaurant for the first time, I must say I really liked the open setup, decor, and chill vibe. Once the dj arrived, the music blasted which kind of interrupted the chill vibe but all in all we had a great time. There were some drink specials and while I did not partake, I could see from the bar that there was a large selection of liquor and those who did order drinks said that they were pretty good. The menu We had a large party and while our waitress, Sally, was amazing but for a large party there should have been a bit more help besides her and one other waitress handling the other half of the group to help move service along. There were times were drink and food orders never showed but once we let them know items were missing, they apologized and would be back shortly with the items. I had the smash nachos and added shrimp. While it's considered and app the portion size was huge! I couldn't finish it and took it home to enjoy the next day which reheated well in the air fryer lol! The nachos were reallllly good and there was nothing lacking in terms of ingredients. My husband got the loaded shrimp quesadilla and he loved it. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal and several folks talked about how good their margaritas were. I'd definitely come back here if I'm in the area and try some other items on their menu especially because there are other items that looked pretty tasty!
