This place has amazing real nice warm inviting feel when you walk in. We had the pretzel with cheese ball, schnitzel, meatloaf, and one of the apple struessels. Everything was really good the mashed potatoes and the potato salad were both tasty. The schnitzel was perfect. Very tender and cooked just perfect. The meat loaf was a big slab and the fried egg on top real complimented it. The dessert was a great way to end it all. The ice cream had a wonderful rich vanilla flavor and it paired great with the warm sweet apple flavors. Overall a pleasant experience and would come back to try more dishes.

We had a reservation and were seated right away. In Germany, we usually order one main course per person, and that’s typically sufficient. This time, we were three people and ordered two half ducks and one pork knuckle. The portions were extremely generous — easily enough for five or six guests. It would have been helpful if the waiter had mentioned that in advance. The pork knuckle was outstanding, and the duck was also very good. We also tried their special beer, which was definitely worth it.

the half pork knuckle was quite large so i can’t even imagine how big the full one is ! the skin was super crispy and crackling, and there was a glutinous, delicious fatty layer underneath. the meat was also tender and hot, and it came apart quite easily. the meatiness kind of tasted like the pork in some chinese soups if ykwim. i liked adding a bit of mustard for a nice pungent sharp kick to the savouriness of the dish. the dumpling is very hard to describe, but it was dense and doughy and i enjoyed it ! the apple strudel was a really great dessert; it was warm, a bit mushy underneath, with generous chunks of tart apple, which was slightly sour and paired well with the sweetness of the cold vanilla ice cream. the top was also baked nice and crispy.

Food was great, however the service was not good. The Female server got us our water and beer brought us our food and never came back until she remembered to give us the bill. We almost just walked out because we were done eating and 33 minutes later she remembered we were their. So we went somewhere else and ordered dessert and coffee. Food yes, service a big no!

What a great restaurant. Slightly put off on arrival as there was a long queue and some customers just pushed their way through. We had made a reservation on line some days beforehand and glad we waited. It’s very big inside but, once seated, staff were very attentive and helpful. Good choice of drinks and food options. We chose the vegetarian cheese platter and the veal meatballs. Both large portions and very tasty. Fortunately took a while to arrive so we could enjoy the local musical entertainment. Although they turn tables, never felt rushed or hurried to leave.
