It was my second visit to Jochens. We had the Schnitzel and the Bratwurst. Schnitzel was ok, slightly on the dry side, but the Bratwurst was quite salty. The sides, salads, fries, etc., are good and show detication and generosity.

I would go again only if I would have visitors who really have to try German food at an...
