"I've visited Laschet's for over 30yrs. I drank there when it was owned by Herr Karl Laschet. I enjoyed Ursula's food for the years the Kokott family owned the restaurant. I ate just about every dish they had on the menu the Rouladen was my fav, even when compared to my own mother's recipe. Tonight I dined there with 3 friends, celebrating a birthday. The service was good, I was very disappointed in the food. The Wiener Schnitzel and the potato pancakes were greasy and over fried. The rouladen meat completely fell apart and did not taste right to those at our table who have eaten the dish many times. The bacon and pickle was undetectable. The goulash soup was once a favorite. While the meat is tender tasty, we found the soup much too spicy to finish after one bite. Despite the entrees being unsatisfactory, the roasted potatoes, spätzle and red cabbage were delicious! The Hackepeter and soft pretzel are very good. Don't order the cheese sauce for the pretzel, it's a weird texture, verrrry oniony and overpriced $15 for a pretzel with cheese? . We were charged extra for every little thing, an extra apple sauce and sour cream for a table of 4 for our potato pancakes and gravy with the Wiener Schnitzel, etc. No one likes to be nickel dimed at a restaurant. What happened to the traditional complimentary dessert shot? I will end this on a good note by saying the staff was very nice, the music and atmosphere is pleasant, the Hackepeter and beer was good. I will need to look elsewhere for authentic, delicious German food in the future. I may come back for the Hakepeter and beer with a side of red cabbage and spätzle."
