Schnitzel House — Restaurant in Florida

First time visiting Schnitzel House restaurant. I was not impressed. I married into a German family. Went to a Luthern Church in Frankenlust Township, Michigan, and ate German food at family and Church functions. I found the food at this restaurant not good.

I had the Schnitzel with Bollanase. I believe it was simply a pre-made Schnitzel, rolled in bread crumbs, bathed in spaghetti sauce with ground meat in it. It was very bland. The Schnitzel did not taste homemade. My guess is the Schnitzels are bought frozen, precooked, then various topings added as ordered. I had spaetzel as a side. It was not good. My wife had potato pancakes as a side. They we're good. Dinner rolls we're good. I asked for a Diet Coke. They served me Pepsi in a Coca Cola glass.

It was a Saturday evening when wife and I visited the restaurant. They were busy. So the short wait we had to be seated is understandable. They had two waiters on duty. Waiters also had to help clear tables.

The service at this restaurant is very poor. I Don't think anyone who works there has a clue about customer service. First, nobody seated us. Lady behind counter (I think she is the owner) told us to sit at table near door. This lady cleaned off our table. For the next 20 minutes, we sat at our table without anyone waiting on us. We had no drinks or menus. The lady's daughter was behind counter doing nothing. She looked at us many times. You think she could be giving guests menues at least. If my wife did not want to eat there so bad, I would have left.

Finally, I asked a waiter for menues. He took our drink orders. Then food orders. We're were given no eating utensils. Dinner rolls and butter was brought to table. Finally, I asked a waiter for silverware. She got the silverware and just dropped it off, rather then placing it near each diner. Not once, did our server visit our table after food was delivered, to ask if everything was ok, or it we needed anything.

The question is, "would I eat at this restaurant again?" The answer is NO. I will not be eating at this...

Bottom line: do not miss. This place is a quick trip to Europe without a plane ticket. I’ve had the fortune to spend time on three continents and I can confidently say that Schnitzel Haus and its gracious hosts will stick out in my memory for a very long time.

I’m trying to sum up our experience without spoilers. It is clear that the entire experience comes from a labor of love, with love, and in love (Herr and Frau Lehmann have many customer/friends and family photos on the wall, the most adorable of which I was by chance privileged to sit in front of).

That love comes out to the tune of art as soon as you take a bite. Perfection. I was afraid I might’ve offended the hosts by eating as little as I did, but it was legitimately because I couldn’t decide which bite to take next.

Menu selection is more than just meat, potatoes and beer - but don’t miss them, either. And German beer on draft that’s pulled the way it’s meant to be? This is your stop. Recommend the “dirty beer” - draft beer and Coke/Sprite, AKA a radler and its variants. We had kartoffelpuffer (the OG potato pancake), curry schnitzel and sauerbraten. Someone managed to make blaukraut (braised red cabbage) better than my Mom’s, and it instantly transported me to childhood. I’m afraid to tell my father about this place for fear he’ll be on the next plane. And that’s just a side dish.

It’s worth it for the beer alone. Even if you don’t like German and Swiss food, go for broke and give Herr & Frau a shot at changing your...

We were in a group of 12 tourists from germany and wanted to get some good german food.Since we saw all the bad reviews we weren‘t sure if we wanted to come to this restaurant, but gave it a try anyways. We went to the Schnitzelhouse on a Friday night and were suprised to only see 2 tables. We ordered just about every schnitzel they had with different sides. The waitress and the cook seemed to be completely overwhelmed with such big order. The waitress kept forgetting which sides come to which schnitzel and at some point the cook himself had to come to the table and ask about the sides again.After about 2 hours we had finally gotten our food. It tasted like nothing, no spices or anything. The breading of the schnitzel was soggy like it had been warmed up in a microwave, it wasnt crispy like it would be if you pan fried it. The sides werent very good either, in particularly bad was the red cabbage, their potato salad and Spätzel. We told the waitress how upset we were about all this and how bad the food was, the cook and waitress both just shrugged and said ‘‘It tastes like we want to prepare it and not how you want it‘‘.We now understand all the bad reviews and will not be back to this place.We are upset as germans that this is the food being sold as german food to the american people. In germany a restaurant of this quality would not last a month and telling by how slow this place was , schnitzelhouse won‘t be open for much longer...
