Der Jaeger,

55 Purdytown Turnpike, Lakeville, PA 18438

"Had a wonderful time at Der Jaeger on Friday night! To merely call it dinner would do the whole experience a disservice. To set the scene - think of the most wonderful and fresh German/Central European food and combine that with a fascinating antique shop (set-up across multiple rooms) and a warmly informal atmosphere and you'll have something of an idea of what to expect. First we ordered - be sure to ask what beers are available - then we wandered the antique shop while our food was made fresh-to-order. We had - the Sausage Sampler (grilled fresh with a great sauerkraut), pork schnitzel, beef rouladen, potato dumplings, spaetzle, and cucumber salad (with chocolate mousse for dessert). Stand-outs for me were the pork schnitzel and cucumber salad, but everything was super fresh and delicious. And the atmosphere was so fun - we enjoyed ourselves immensely and are already planning the dishes to get again/try next time! Pro tips - make sure to call for a reservation! Check out the bathroom as well - lots of fun items in there too! Be sure to arrive with a hearty appetite and sense of humor and you will have a fabulous time! Thank you Sylvana and Janusz!"

"I might be biased here because I absolutely love German food and my wife is German. All the times we’ve come here, never had anything we did not like. The atmosphere here a special, the museum adds a touch of history, and Janus will tell you all about every single piece. Silvana cooks the meals to order with greatest of flavor. The friendly conversation( German and English) and seeing something new each visit in the museum makes this place special to us. We’ll always be return customers. Thank you so much!"

"The most memorable, unique, an delicious dinner we’ve ever had, seriously! We stumbled upon Der jaeger by complete accident. We had no idea it was a husband wife team with the most amazing 3 table restaurant (reservation only!) antique shop combo with German food to die for - all prepared by the wife in the kitchen which you can see from your table. As we waited for our meal, we explored the antique shop. The entire house, including the upstairs and every room is full of amazing things. You can probably spend all night browsing but we had food to eat! We went crazy and ordered 3 entrees and 4 sides for 2 people and everything was out of this world good. Absolutely delicious. I can’t believe this place has been up the road from our home for years. We can not wait to go back and will be bringing family with us next time. If you’re looking for a comfortable, truly homemade, absolutely delicious, super unique dining experience, go! What an absolute hidden gem."

"OMG! Talk about a wonderful experience! The food is incredible and the owners, even more-so. It feels like you’re having dinner with the German family you didn’t know you had. You are absolutely not rushed. The food takes some time but it gives you the opportunity to explore all the antiques in the building. Talk about an incredible collection. Overall, the food is amazing and the experience was nothing less than awesome. You will miss out if you never get the chance to try Der Jäger. Make sure to make a reservation in advanced! It’s nearly impossible to do a walk-in!"

"We called very last minute for a reservation and to our surprise they had a table available. Drinks (he was hand picked a german beer and i was given the most robust and sweet raspberry wine), bread (ohhhh the bread basket included themes pretzel like bun that is to DIE FOR and dinner ( absolutely everything about dinner was spectacular, way too much to detail),were absolutely delicious. We were invited to walk around and look at all of the antiques while waiting for our dinners to be prepared. So glad we did as it was fascinating to see room after room of beautiful antiques. This was an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Dinner and drinks were again absolutely delicious and we are looking forward to going again, perhaps getting dessert next time. Amazing find with fantastic people in the middle of nowhere."
