All the tables were full and customers were constantly coming and going. I can see why after checking em out. Pricing is fair. If you compare it to auntie Anne's they are cheaper with better quality ingredients being used. Service was very quick - there is a kiosk at the front counter or you're able to order with a staff member. Within 5 mins our snack was ready. My husband and I tried a salted pretzel with nacho cheese sauce and creamy mustard sauce. The pretzel itself was cooked perfectly. Texture wise it was somewhat crispy on the outside with a very fluffy center. The nacho cheese sauce was better than cheese sauces I've had before. The creamy mustard was reallll good, we ended up taking the remainder of it home so we could use it for something else.

My husband and I ordered a pretzel dog and the Monte Cristo stuffed pretzel to share. I loved the pretzel dog, it was my favorite. A good sized hotdog wrapped in pretzel with salt sprinkled on top, so yummy! The Monte Cristo stuffed pretzel was served with a raspberry serrano jam. It was tasty, but my husband and I thought it tasted better with mustard. It was good, but their pretzel dog won out over that. Next time I'm in the area, I'm going to revisit this restaurant. They have a lot of pretzels and stuffed pretzels to try.

I usually bring a pizza or a ham and cheese pretzel pocket to go and they reheat in the oven very well. The pretzel dough has a hint of sweetness and its very soft and chewy with a crispy crust. Not overly salty too. I prefer it over Auntie Ann's and wish there was a storefront in the Chicago suburbs. The service here is always with a friendly smile. I've met the owner a few times, and she is always pleasant to speak with. The price is within reason for the amount of food you get. Great place to come with friends for a quick bite.

The curry wurst was the bomb but needed more sauce. The sauce was heavenly though. The potato pancakes great and flavorful. The cabbage rolls tasty. The liver soup not my favorite only because it had a liver taste--which if you like, then you'll like it. The saurkraut and purple cabbage the best Ive ever tasted and worth getting. The spetzel so-so, not much flavor. Son liked it though. The bread dumplings ok. More like white bread. The big pork shank that is the prize-it was good but not as stellar as we thought it would be. And we did make sure to order it crispy like it said to and it wasn't. Looked like it was a little browned but even my young son said the fat isn't rendered. I think it would have been a lot better if it had been crispy like in other pictures on here. Disappointed. It's like $35. Not cheap. The beef with sauce (sauerbraten) was good, the sauce great, the beef ok. The special that was going on, the beef roulade. Nobody liked it at all. The stuff just didn't taste good together in it. Overall, it was a good experience. The waitress Rosie was amazing, most of the food was great to awesome. The ambiance was German and cozy. Our favorites: the curry wurst sauce, the saurkraut and red cabbage and the stuffed cabbage rolls.

Bar with high tops out front low top tables a couple stairs up into the back. Great atmosphere. Plenty of German beer here good stuff on tap. The wine list also looked very good. I stuck with an HB and it was just fine. The cost of the food and drink I would say is on par with most places however, this is all home-cooked food. A far step up above many places.

There was no one else in the store but the girl behind the counter was acting like I was holding her up. She was snarky and rude. Thumping my pretzels on the counter as if it wasn't my lunch... Omgoodness. I was starving. Still I didn't say anything. Cuz I'm nice. I let her finish up packing up my order. Paid her. Then was gonna leave with my pretzel. When she said, in her snarky, rude manner... You're welcome. Then I was done. I looked at her and told her I didn't thank her cuz she was rude. And proceeded to walk to my car. Seriously. If I hadn't have been STARVING I would've given it back to her and asked for my money back. But did I mention I was starving?! I will just never be a skinny girl... #shrug But I am happy to leave the one star that Yelp requires because the pretzels really are so yummy. However, if she's working I'll just starve.
