"Visited: Thursday evening, around 6:45 PM Ambience: The restaurant had a lively vibe, which was great, but it got a bit too loud for our liking. We initially sought refuge in the outdoor seating, only to find the benches unpleasantly wet and cold. A bit of a letdown for an outdoor option. Service: We faced some challenges here. After opting to dine inside due to the outdoor seating issue, we were tucked away in a back corner. It seemed like the staff was either stretched thin or not very attentive, as getting their attention was a task in itself, both during and at the end of our meal. Food: I went with the currywurst, a familiar choice and one of the more budget-friendly options on the menu. It was okay, but nothing to write home about, especially considering the wait time and the price point. Overall Impression: I had high expectations for this place based on what I’d heard, but unfortunately, my experience didn’t live up to the hype. From seating issues to service snags and underwhelming food, it just didn’t hit the mark for me. It’s a shame, really, as I was looking forward to a great dining experience. Not sure if I’d give it another try."

"Ugh just amazing food. Some of the most authentic and delicious German we've ever had. We live 1.5 hours away and will make the drive every now and then for the food. Vegetarian and gluten free options are clearly labeled. The spaetzle is TO DIE FOR, so freaking delicious. My husband loves the bratwurst. The mashed potatoes or shoestring fries are the perfect side to any dish. There's even gluten free beer for my husband! An extensive and delicious cocktail list. You need to try if you're in the area. Parking is a bit tight, so prepare to look for 5-10 minutes to find a spot. Lots of outdoor seating so we can take our pup with us!"

"Came here at about 6:30 on a Saturday night. The place was starting to get busy but not packed yet. There is seating indoors and outdoors. We sent indoors at a table for two. The waitress attended well. I never felt neglected. Asked for an explanation on some of the items on the menu and she illuminated us. We got the meat sample platter. It was surprisingly not an overwhelmingly large amount of food. The meats were salted, cured, and meaty. The crowd here was lively. Loud conversations in an enclosed space. The larger tables had bench seating. The decor was homie and authentically German from what I could tell. Nice place overall. Next time, I'll be sure to try an actual platter with carbs."
