Schnitzel Fritz (DBA) — Restaurant in Security-Widefield

⭐ Rating: 5/5 Schnitzel Fritz – Widefield/Security, Colorado

My pregnant daughter was craving vinegary German food, so we decided to try Schnitzel Fritz — and I’m so glad we did! We’ve officially tried all the German restaurants around here (Edelweiss, Uwe’s, etc.), and this one takes the win for freshness and authenticity.

Edelweiss lost me when I found metal in my food, and Uwe’s was serving steamed frozen vegetables, which is just… no thanks. 😅 But Schnitzel Fritz? Total opposite. Everything here is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made from scratch — no out-of-the-bag veggies in sight!

Yes, it’s a little on the pricey side, but it’s a small mom-and-pop “hole in the wall” restaurant, and honestly, it’s worth every penny for the quality and care they put in.

Now, for those complaining that “German food is too vinegary” — y’all just don’t understand traditional German cuisine. That tangy flavor is part of its history and charm!

The only small thing I’d tweak is the cucumber salad — the dressing is so good (a homemade dill and cream cheese mix, NOT ranch 😋), but the cucumbers could be drained a bit more so it’s not watery. Still, the flavor is amazing and it comes with fresh homemade bread that’s absolutely delicious. 🍞

Their desserts are awesome, too — and the people running the place are super sweet and welcoming.

All in all, this spot met every one of my daughter’s pregnancy cravings and then some! We’ve already been back a couple of times, and I’m sure it won’t be our...

A Taste of Authentic Germany: Schnitzel Fritz is a Must-Visit! ​We are so lucky to have Schnitzel Fritz here in the Fountain area—this place is truly a hidden gem and deserves every bit of its five stars. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is bright, clean, and welcoming, reflecting the warmth of a family-run business. ​The food is nothing short of incredible. I highly recommend the Jaeger Schnitzel; it was perfectly cooked—tender on the inside, crispy on the outside, and smothered in a rich, traditional mushroom gravy that tasted completely homemade. The generous portion size is very satisfying! Don't skip the sides either; the Spätzle is delicate and delicious, and the German Potato Salad has that perfect acidic zing. ​Beyond the restaurant, the in-house German market and bakery are a huge bonus. It's a fantastic spot to grab fresh bread, European candies, or imported pantry staples. The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely proud of their culinary heritage. If you are craving hearty, authentic German cuisine, make the trip to Schnitzel Fritz—you won't be...

This restaurant is the closest you will get to real German food in Colorado. The Schnitzel is fantastic, and I love the German cakes. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, and the cakes are perfect for that, as they don't have a lot of sugar in them. The owner makes them all from scratch and she puts a lot of work into them, and the result of that is fond memories of Germany in every bite of cake.

While this restauraunt serves mainly German food, they also import a lot of groceries from all over Europe, even from lesser known regions like the Balkans. I am always able to find what I need when I want to make a European recipe.

The owner and her employees are also super friendly and always make sure to make sure each and every customer has what they need, even when they get crazy busy during peak hours.

I always feel like family when I visit and cannot wait to be back...
