“ First time visit to this wonderful little place. The food was incredible. The staff was very welcoming. And the beer was perfect. Compliments to Chef Bob and his staff. I'm sure I will be paying them a visit again in the near future. ”
“ Friday buffet style German food this is a club, not a restaurant so expect casual. Banquet table seating, we got to meet another couple, fun. Accordion music helps authenticate the atmosphere. Sausages were grilled on the flat top and delicious. I'm particular about sauerkraut and red cabbage dishes. These rated high in my book. Both were tart and flavorful. The cabbage juice wasn't thick like some places. I like that, others may miss not having thick sauce and sweetened kraut but I loved it. Volunteer workers were friendly and kept tables cleared promptly. Pay with cash or check only. First time but not our last! ”
“ Always a great time. Authentic German food and beer! ”
“ This is a wonderful Friday night buffet spot! Every Friday they have a small buffet featuring a menu of salad, bread and butter, a couple potatoes dishes, a vegetable, red cabbage, and either a German main course, like Schnitzel or ribs and chicken and stroganoff. We love it! It only cost 15. Did I mention they have giant beers 6 and teas 2? They also have a bake sale with pies. There is usually an accordian player offering up some great traditional songs too! This is a very busy place and you seat yourself. Tables are long hall style seating. Remember to bring cash or check. Credit/debit not accepted, but they do have an ATM if you forget. ”
