Winter 2025:
Asked for käsespätzle. Still not available.
Got the German Bread time app. Not much to it, or of it. Should have looked at the picture on the left more closely. When I read Bavarian bread, wasn't thinking german sourdough. My brain went to Semmelknödel , which it is not. The pickle was limp with slight sweetness (Kuhne barrel pickle would have been better). Cheese and brat were good, just not much of it.
Finally got Rahmschnitzel, it was pretty good. Was expecting something a little creamier, but the fresh mushrooms were great.
Found out they don't make the red cabbage. They import something from Germany. I have Hengstenberg Red Cabbage in a jar at home, it's OK. Stick w/house made cold sauerkraut- it very good.
The Spätzle is also not homemade, and has an unusual shape. Egg noodle version of casarecce pasta ? But tastes ok.
As usual, service was excellent, and inside is very loud, especially after 6 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Fall 2024:
Had the Oktoberfest sample for two. Still no käsespätzle.Now that I have been here multiple times, am finding diff. results.
This time:brats not great - tasted old and starting to turn. Potato pancakes and schnitzel were good- nice texture and seasoning, and not overcooked.
Tried for first time:
Bavarian sauerkraut- ok, still like the cold one better.
Meatloaf. Not your mother's. It's a finer grind of meat, somewhat compressed, with firm texture, like a brownie. Topped with carmelized onions that worked well. I think this is Leberkäse?
Gypsy sauce. Not my thing. Tasted like thick creamy tomato soup. If was more in the Zigeuner style- more chunky, and red pepper forward, with a bit of heat, I might have liked it.
Overall Oktoberfest sampler was good, but would be better if customer could choose brats and two sauces.
Had the dark hefe, dunkel not avail.
Spring 2024:
Was a bit disappointed this time.
The potato pancakes & schnitzel was over cooked.
Tried the potato croquettes as a side and they were terrible. (Even with curry ketchup).
Still waiting for Rahmschnitzel
Beet salad unremarkable.
The Spätzle and cold sauerkraut are still the best sides.
Sausages, hefeweizen, and dunkel were great.
As usual, service was excellent.
However it was very loud and hot inside.
2023:
Schnitzel with hunter sauce is still good, but still don't give enough sauce, but better seasoning this time.
Also tried one with curry sauce- very sweet, not spicy at all.
Bigos ok - kind of like a smoky sauerkraut with meat.
In March, the cold sauerkraut is the best I have ever had. Recently a touch too much vinegar and salt but works when eating with schnitzel.
They finally have red cabbage, but found it a bit mushy, no sweetness, and a little bland.
Smoked and curry sausages were table favorites.
Apple strudel delicious, and still the best I've had. Not too sweet, right amount of cinnamon, and great texture pastry.
2022
Finally made it back. Wednesday is schnitzel day and a good way to try some different sauces, and comes with choice of side and salad for $15
I wish they had a permanent rahm or creamy hunter sauce option, for the schnitzel and Spätzle.
Cold sauerkraut had better seasoning and flavor than the warm one with mushrooms.
Schnitzel is good, could use a touch more salt and pepper in the batter, but better on the amount of sauce, but could use more.
The smoked brat was the favorite on the sausage plate.
Potato Pancakes good. Apple strudel was delicious.
Only offer Rouladen in December.
10/2020
sampler plate... hmm where's the spaetzle? Where's the red cabbage? Hunter sauce Ok, and not very much of it, and a little under seasoned.
Two different kinds of sauerkraut one was the traditional and the other one, I don't know what it was, but it was really good.
Meatballs were okay.
The sausages were good.
Look forward to coming back when the menu has expanded a bit more.
Would like to see on a future menu:
Rinderrouladen
Sliced pork roast
Sauerbraten
Spaetzle with mushroom gravy or...
