For our first time, we had the brie appetizer to start. Wowzers! An entire brie wheel, covered in almonds with beautifully soft marbled bread. It would easily satisfy a party of four. I had an excellent rouladen (exactly like my German grandmother made!!) Delicious!! and hubby had a tasty chicken Rahm Schnitzel (creamy mushroom sauce with chicken) which was devine. Our server was wonderful, friendly and so helpful. Great German ambiance. Small authentic German restaurant. Come hungry, come ready for an awesome treat.

We loved it! We took home left overs and a piece of German Choclate Cake also shareable! We also sampled Fredricksburg Bier company. Go to Auslander.

The place was pretty busy for a Monday night, but the food was hot and the servers we had were right on top of drink orders.

From the outside it has great atmosphere where looked like been here for ever. The inside was just the same old and explorative. Our waitress seemed like she was from Germany which added to the ambiance of the place. I ordered the Wienerschnitzel like the menu stated topped with house pickled onion, capers and fresh lemon, served with rotkohl and spatzle. I also had to get a German beer to compete the experience. The Wienerschnitzel was extremely good and enjoyed it very much. It was also fun to walk around to see what else this place had to offer.

Altdorf Biergarten is what happens when restraint, competence, and taste are allowed to coexist…read morewithout apology. The food is excellent--properly executed, structurally sound, and refreshingly uninterested in novelty for novelty's sake. Each dish arrives as intended, which already places it well above much of the contemporary dining landscape. The beer selection is unapologetically German and thoughtfully curated, clearly assembled for people who understand that tradition is not a flaw in need of correction. The ambiance is immaculate: authentic without cosplay, warm without affectation. It feels lived-in rather than staged, as if comfort and coherence were priorities rather than marketing angles. Service is attentive, calm, and mercifully non-performative. No hovering, no scripts--just someone quietly ensuring that nothing detracts from the experience. More broadly, it serves as a reminder that appreciating a culture requires intellectual maturity: the ability to acknowledge historical atrocities while still recognizing the depth, discipline, and humanity embedded in its food, craft, and social rituals. Reducing an entire civilization to its worst chapter is lazy thinking. Altdorf manages to honor culture without evasion or nostalgia.

They were pretty booked up but as it was cold outside they let us switch our reservation from patio to bar seating. We really enjoyed our meal. The waiters were very attentive and happy to talk through the menu with us. Ultimately we decided on a pretzel as our appetizer, with lamb chops as our entree to share and a side of kasespatzle. The pretzel was warm and a nice size and we thoroughly enjoyed the beer cheese. We finished the cheese halfway through the pretzel and the waiters were kind enough to bring us another one. Next for the kasespatzle - which from my understanding is the German version of mac and cheese. It was very tasty and hearty! More filling than I expected. The lamb chops were the crown jewel of the night - rich and succulent and paired so well with the asparagus. The chef was kind enough to make another lamb chop for us as she saw how the meat shrunk while cooking it. The meal was so tasty and a good size for sharing! We were very full by the end. I'm so glad we tried this place! It would be perfect for date night, a meeting with coworkers or family dinner. I like that they have an intimate inside area as well as the outdoor patio. Check this place out!

I found Otto's to be a bit disappointing. Maybe it's just that German isn't the type of cuisine…read morethat should be elevated... It's great the way it is, and trying to make it fancy doesn't make it better. But I've always thought that if a restaurant has only a few options on its menu, they had better all be great, and I didn't find that to be the case at Otto's. One of us had the schnitzel au gratin, which seemed more to be like a chicken Parmesan. I had the duck schnitzel. I would say they were just both OK. The fried potatoes that came with the au gratin schnitzel were left largely untouched on my companion's plate. There wasn't much flavor to my red cabbage, and my spaetzel seemed to be more like a modern day risotto. And this at a restaurant that makes you leave your credit card for a reservation and threatens to charge if you cancel less than 24 hours before. For that, it had better knock my socks off. But my socks are still on, and they won't be walking back to Otto's. Extra star for the great location.

Brewery #373 This…read moreplace is like the Biltmore House of breweries. It's beautiful and huge! If they didn't have a big sign out front, you definitely would think you are in the wrong place. We came in just to get some beer, but it had more of a restaurant feel than traditional brewery. We sat in the bar area, and whenever I go to a new brewery, I always get a flight to try multiple beers. Altstadt has flights but they are prefixed, you can't make your own. Slight irritation but nothing major. I ended up getting a more German style flight with a Kolsch, Hefe, Lager, and Amber. They were all good with the Hefe being my favorite. I am usually an IPA fan, and they had one, but I was not able to try it. We weren't that hungry, so we just ordered some fries with beer cheese. These were crisp little pillows of heaven, and the cheese was a perfect dip. The menu was heaven on German food, but there's a wide range with some upscale items as well. The place was probably too fancy for me and my Homer Simpson hoodie, but they were still accommodating. Next time I will wear better clothes and have dinner but let me pick my own flight please.

However,…read moreeven if you've tried their signature bratwurst, it's definitely worth stopping by this uniquely cute deli/store. Parking can be found at one of two small lots at the front/side of the building. Signs will direct you to the front door. Inside, the store is on the small side but immaculately clean. There's cold cuts, pickled vegetables, and all of their meat/sausage selections. Only about 4-5 are sold in the supermarket, but here you can find their entire selection, including an intriguing smoked beef or pork tenderloin. The store owners are friendly and have a lot of knowledge on their products. Definitely worth a stop during a trip to F'burg!
