"Party of five for lunch, at 11:00, when they opened. Be prepared when you go, there was a line to get in, even then but to be fair, it is a Saturday. My husband ordered the Wiener Schnitzel, our granddaughter ordered the Chicken Griller with waffle fries and I ordered the Traditional Corner Beef Reuben. Our granddaughter (16 yo) really liked the chicken sandwich and fries with honey mustard. My Reuben was good, the corned beef was lean and the bread did not come out soggy always a plus. My husband said the Wiener schnitzel was very tough; it was difficult to cut and chew and ate less than half. He ordered the German potato salad and sweet kraut, he liked the potato salad but the sweet kraut just wasn’t his thing… Our friends ordered the Sausage Sampler Platter and the Haus Sauerbraten. They enjoyed both. I tasted my friend’s order of Sauerbraten, it was very tender. We ordered desserts to go, cream puff, apple strudel, chocolate pie and German Chocolate cake, which all traveled well and made it home to be enjoyed. The portions were large and filling hence taking our desserts to go. Parking is an issue, if you need to park close; there are a few directly in front of the restaurant, street parking around the building in various places and at least one full parking lot behind the building- with a sign that says to lock your car and do not leave valuables… sounds reasonable and seems like common sense to me. The brick roadway, and entrance to the building, while beautiful and charming, was problematic for our friends (one senior in a “boot” from surgery and one senior walking with a staff) and for my husband (40-something year old) who was also in a boot. If you have the option, you may wish to drop the person(s)at the door; if not just take it slow and watch your step. Overall, it was a good experience but I would definitely try something different if we go again."
