We went here during a day trip to Helen, we didn't expect much as so many restaurants in Helen seem…read moreto be the same ol' thing but location was nice and it wasn't super crowded. We started with the Pretzel Bites which were essentially deep fried pieces of pretzels. Not sure who thought to say this was Bavarian style. I'm not entirely sure they were deep fried but they had a very thick batter and tasted similar to say an onion ring batter. Very crunchy even through. We're pescatarian anyway so food is always limited in tourist towns (but far easier to find options in Germany than in Helen). I decided to go with the veggie burger which was a black bean patty from Morningstar. Honestly I like them and we asked before anyway so this was fine with me. The bread was good and the fries were fresh and hot. My wife got the fish platter I think it was called and it was pretty bad. She could eat the fries but not all of the fish. It was heavily deep fried and you could flick it putting a dent in the batter. My son got the fried shrimp which he ate a couple of but then said he was done. My wife tried his and said it was better than the fish platter so had a couple. We went with two friends who shared chicken tenders. They weren't impressed, to me they looked like chicken schnitzel it was so thin. I'm not going to judge quality on chicken though so it may be good? Location and service was the main thing going for it. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, we sat outside and we could watch people float by tubing so people watching was good. The atmosphere at this time during lunch was pretty quiet and chill. I could see it getting packed in the evenings especially for those going out for drinks. Overall I can't say I was surprised by the quality but I hoped I would be wrong. For the cost and quality of food we won't go back.

The "German" potato salad I ordered had bacon and was actually very good, although it reminded me of an au gratin dish. Service was great. I had an Arnold Palmer and our host brought me the pitcher... cause I was very thirsty at the time. The environment is great. There is outdoor and indoor seating.... You choose and they have fans outside if it's too warm. It was a good spot to get a bite to eat while visiting.

The food almost tastes freezer burned and the burger I had felt fake and dense. The only food that felt edible were the onion rings. I would come for drinks only but there are so many cool bars in Helen I probably won't be back. Points to the extremely nice and bubbly waitress. She took great care of us and made us feel welcome. If you're looking for quick drinks with an outdoor setting that has great people watching than this would be a fun place to start the night or after an extremely drunken night where the taste of food doesn't matter much.

We ordered the Wurst Platter, which came with Hungarian sausage and Weisswurst, sauerkraut, a crispy potato pancake, and spaetzle. It was hearty, flavorful, and a great option for anyone who wants to sample several traditional German favorites on one plate. Our server, Madi, was absolutely amazing. She had excellent suggestions, patiently answered all of our questions, and even brought out several beers for us to sample before we decided which one to order. She was kind, personable, and genuinely funny, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is unmistakably German, with traditional décor, a festive beer-hall feel, and live music that added so much energy to the room. Everything we saw coming out to the surrounding tables looked delicious, and people were clearly devouring their meals and enjoying themselves. It was one of those places where you could immediately tell the food and atmosphere were making everyone happy. Gutes Essen, kaltes Bier und beste Stimmung, Prost! (Good food, cold beer, and great vibes, cheers!) Overall, this was a fun and memorable dining experience with great service, comforting food, and an atmosphere that feels like a celebration.
