She went around filling coffees for other tables then walked past ours- when I asked for a refill she plopped the cup onto the table to where it nearly spilled.

We tried to be polite but it was not reciprocated. Her behavior made it where we ate the subpar food quickly as to try to leave since it was clear that she didnt want only our table there.

It's all in the name!!!!!…read more Just got done eating at the Cottonwood Grill and what I had was the best burger in New Ulm (BBNU). They did not lie, that burger was by far the best burger I've had in this town. It definitely makes my top 10 list of burgers that I've ever had. Picture below. I decided to adoring my burger with some applewood bacon and I can safely say that my choice was the right choice. Thick slices, but not too thick where it overpowers the burger, great addition if you are looking for a burger and want just a bit more. Maybe you are asking why I did not give this restaurant five stars? That would be a fair question. I'm going to have to deduct a star because of their French fries. While they appeared to look very good, I guess I will never know because they were overpowered by salt. I found myself petting every single fry that I consumed to scrape the overwhelming amount of salt off of it to truly see if I was enjoying the french fries. The only positive aspect to this is I know I'm going to have good luck for the next couple weeks for all the salt I threw over my shoulder. Friendly service, beautiful view of the golf course and the drink just outside the windows. Friendly bartender and waitstaff, also a very nice bathroom on the facility. Those things are important. Highly recommend, just maybe ask for some fries without salt

And this Riblet platter was everything I could have hoped for, nicely cooked, tender, sauced meat that fell off the bone, classic French fries, and I subbed my coleslaw for some more fries, because I was on vacation, ok? And all in all, the experience was everything I expected from an Applebee's. No more, no less.

As I walked to the back of the restaurant and sat at the bar, I noticed the beautiful outside patio. With a waterfall feature, I noticed there was a group of older folks there and found out it was their monthly German club! The ambiance is definitely German. Lots of deep oak woodwork, a beautiful bar with gorgeous stain glass windows at the back of the bar by the register. The lights glistened off of the giant hanging glass pitchers and beer steins. The bartender and waitress that both helped me were dolls. Had great suggestions on the menu, attentive, and talkative. I started with a potato pancake. It was delicious. Served with sour cream and applesauce like God intended. It was 5.50 for 1. Initially I thought that was pricey BUT it was worth it and I'd shell out the $9 for 3 next time. Then I had the sausage sampler. It came with two pieces of warm rye bread (tasted homemade), 3 different sausage links; chicken curry, bratwurst, and polish kielbasa...made in house. Lastly a small scoop of warm German potato salad. It was all good! I'll be back. No ranch used here so no rating.

On a quest for the food of my heritage (either Polish or German; I wasn't fussy), I went to the…read moreBlack Forest Inn. Very authentic interior design; the bar area looked like many of the pubs we'd recently been to in German and Austria. The bartender came over quickly and got my glass of halbtrocken (half-sweet) Riesling. If you're only familiar with the American-style syrup they market as Riesling, you need to check out some German wines. "Trocken" is dry, "halbtrocken" is half-sweet, "FineHerb" (a relatively new designation) means off-dry and "süß" or suss, is sweet. On to the potato pancake appetizer. It arrived quickly, nice and hot, and served with both applesauce and sour cream. However, it wasn't the coarsely shredded potatoes I am used to getting in Germany; more of a fine shred, which gave it a different mouth-feel. From there, on to the beef rouladen. It takes a little longer but also came out hot, with sides of red cabbage, a roll, and a ton of spaetzle. Tasty, though the gravy was a little saltier than I'd have preferred. And if I'd eaten all that starch, I'd still be sleeping it off in one of their booths. Their menu also includes sausage samplers and other traditional items. Why only a three? Service and food were both good but not great. I thought the food was a little pricey: $26 for ONE rouladen with sides, and $6 for a single potato pancake. Three-and-a-half stars would be more fair but Yelp! doesn't give half stars. Finally (and I'm not really deducting points for this), no one on the staff that I encountered spoke ANY German. Even my basic, "Guten tag!" when sidling up to the bar was met with a blank stare. So... authentic? The atmosphere: definitely. The food: mostly. Final verdict: OK, leaning toward good.
