Great German food restaurant. Smoked pork knuckle and pork chops are to die for. Applestrudle is also very good. Feels like being back in germany. Service is good and fast.

One of the nicest owners you’ll ever meet. Great place for a beer and food after visiting Santa Teresa.

Restaurant with excellent homemade food! Wiener schnitzel is soft and tasty, more importantly, made in fresh oil. Picanha was very soft with homemade chips. Generous portions. Excellent coffee. Service is fast and friendly. Parking is available near by and restaurant provides wifi. Warm recommendation!

My friends and I had a good time here! The food came out quick and tasted amazing (I am German so I know). The portions are big and the prices are reasonable 😀 The owner is really nice and shared his story with us.
