This place is awesome. Food is very authentic and portion sizes are great. Great selection of beers as well. If you like ethnic German food then you can’t miss this spot. Went two nights in a row !!

Been here a couple times now, love it! The place has been absolutely packed with customers each time, and that is well deserved. The vibe is pretty different from anything else I'm familiar with in the desert, a casual, comfortable German style eatery. We've sampled the goulash, weinerschnitzel, pretzels, cabbage rolls, soups, etc. Really everything has been delicious. I'm a vegetarian and they have great filling options for me to go along with the excellent meats. The vegetarian and vegan schnitzel are both excellent. If you want a ton of good comfort food in a casual and comfortable atmosphere, this is a spot for you.

Come and enjoy everything desserts are perfect. Everything is handmade here by a family. It’s two sisters and a mother. You should definitely come and enjoy their holiday spiced wine. You really can taste the love in the food. I come here all the time and I can’t believe I’m just now writing a review. I love their white balsamic coleslaw. All their desserts are amazing and I don’t typically eat dessert. They don’t do a lot of sugar and they almost do gluten-free I believe.

What an amazing spot. Not fancy but great atmosphere. The service was so awesome...any weird requests we made were greeted with a smile and a "happy to do it". The cucumber salad was so flavorful and fresh tasting. The beet salad was huge and so yummy, generous amounts of feta and beets and walnuts. We totally changed the sides and sauces with our schnitzel orders with no problem or eye rolling. The schnitzels we got aren't the platter size ones you sometimes get, but so flavorful and the lemon caper sauce, the mushroom sauce and the cranberry sauce were all great additions to the pork schnitzel we ordered. If you are confused about "ripped" potatoes on the menu... don't think...just get them! Wanted to add to my review ..the kraut was more like cooked cabbage...not as vinegary as we expected...also the onion rings at the next table looked amazing!

Great atmosphere, service, and food. We like the schnitzel, mashed potatoes, and spatzle. If you’re lucky, they’ll let you do half and half mashed potatoes and spatzle. The plain, mushroom, and cheese sauce schnitzel are probably the best. Don’t remember their names on the menu. I think the Bavarian pretzel can be skipped. It’s overpriced and too salty.

First timer (and we will definitely be coming back). We were looking for place to eat and stumbled onto this place. Staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. Beer was typical German brews. Can’t wait come back after they expand.

We were in town to pick up some vintage China we bought from some really nice sellers and decided to try a cuisine our daughter has never tried. She loved the food and the atmosphere at this restaurant, which stayed open rather late on a weeknight. The best thing we ate? The sausages dipped in their amazing mustard! My Jagerschnitzel did not disappoint. I swear that mushroom gravy they douse it with will make shoe leather taste amazing! The hubby ordered the stuffed cabbage and wasn't wowed by it. My pasta-loving daughter ordered the Alps Kasspatzen and loved it. We ordered the baklava to share and wished we didn't. It was cloyingly sweet and soggy. It was a fun adventure, but one we most likely will not repeat.

very good food here, the paprika schnitzel or they call it gypsy schnitzel was amazing, as well as the jager schnitzel. only complaint would be the super bright light above the bar it needs to be changed out for something softer, it was pretty obnoxiously bright and I promise no one wants to sit at a bar with a flashlight in their face. other than that it was awesome and It’s great they have german beer too.
