Paradise Delicatessen & Ursula's Schnitzelhaus — Restaurant in Waynesville

The restaurant itself gave off a pleasant small-town mom and pop vibe, with the decor giving off a somewhat rustic agrarian vibe express through a blue and woodgrain palette. The gentleman running the place prided himself on offering authentic German (not Americanized) food, but having never been to Germany, I have no way to confirm nor deny these claims. The food was good, with the schnitzel cordon bleu I ordered being flavorful, cooked fresh, and nicely fried. Prices were on the high end of what I'd consider reasonable. The cook was also the server when we went (late lunch, I think), but was reasonably attentive and polite. The only minor complaint I had was that the gentleman running the place was a bit quick to offer some of the fairly common political / conspiracy theories in this part of the world, which I'd prefer not to deal with over lunch. Overall, comfortable recommending for the food and the rural mom and pop...

Stopped by this place as I was trying to find some authentic German food in the area. Drove 30min from Rolla to get here, and it was well worth the drive and the money spent for the food. I got the Cordon Bleu with home style potatoes, and a side of Currywurst. My wife got the Jaegerschnitzel with the home style potatoes. The food was seasoned well, cooked just right and was cooked fresh right then and there. It came out hot and fresh. The service was great, and the restaurant was clean. The bathrooms were also very clean. The atmosphere was also very nice, and the owner was personable. My favorite dish was the Currywurst. It's a large sausage served with a red curry sauce and a roll on the side. Overall, it was a very good meal. It cost about $50 for the 2 entrees, the side, and 2 drinks. Well worth it for the money, and we will...

Stopped in today with my wife. We explained that we were new to the area and exploring the shops. The gentleman was happy to explain that they have a small store area to purchase German seasonings, mustards, chocolate, and other non-perishable items. He also showed us the deli where we can buy suasages, meats and cheeses by the pound. And that they also have a restaurant. He was polite and willing to answer our many questions about all of their products. We purchased three types of sliced meat, two kinds of cheeses (both amazing), a package of Landjaeger sausages, a pound of Bavarian leberwurst, and a bar of German chocolate (heaven). Next time we will leave the dogs at home instead of in the truck, so we will have time to dine in. Take your kids/grandkids in to experience what a good hometown...
