"Absolutely the worst customer service I have experienced. Dad is turning 80 and asked to have his Birthday party here. We called to get information's and schedule. Host answered then transferred us to event coordinator. Transfer got disconnected. Second attempt got disconnected. Third attempt the event coordinator answered. Said they are really busy and would call us Monday. We never received a call. Called back on Tuesday. Brought up our disappointment. Response, our phone system is old. We don’t recall talking to you. Put their inefficiencies back on us. I ask to speak with the owner. He was on vacation. Asked for him to call us. Two weeks later and no call. I would seriously consider not making any big party plans here."

"I 've visited Café Joelle on and off over the past 20+ years, and my experiences have been quite inconsistent. While the food quality varies, the issue that stands out most is the treatment I 've received. On one occasion, I tried to make reservations, only to be told, We don 't take reservations. Yet, when I arrived, they asked if I had a reservation, which was a bit confusing. Another time, I put my name on the waitlist for a table and waited right in front of the restaurant. I even checked in multiple times, but when I went inside for the last time, I was told they gave my table away because they couldn 't find me outside, despite me never leaving the front of the building....... blah blah blah yada yada yada each time there was an issue. These experiences have left me feeling unwelcome, and by the time I do sit down, the frustration overshadows any enjoyment of the food. Sadly, my visits have been marked by a sense of aggravation. So, when friends suggest dining here, I tend to decline. It 's a shame that the service issues have overshadowed the potential of the food at Café Joelle. Keeping this review at a three star because I do know people that love this place, so I give them the benefit of the doubt."

"This place needs Robert Irvine! While our server was very pleasant and attentive, the overall experience was terrible, especially the food. The atmosphere is a cheesy imitation of a German beer hall, just as noisy with none of the charm. The seating is all hard benches less comfortable than McDonalds, and the temperature was absolutely freezing. My mother and I kept our jackets on the entire meal. The food was absolutely atrocious. To start with, don’t bother to look at the online menu expecting to see the same menu in the restaurant: no Wienerschnitzel or sauerbraten, and the fish fry is only available Friday with no perch. We weren’t expecting Karl Rasch’s, but beef rouladen made with hamburger? The walleye fish fry was overcooked and dry. The schnitzels undoubtedly came from Sysco and were utterly flavorless. The potato pancakes had a strange flavor and the texture of an old tire. Even the sauerkraut was inedible. Milwaukee used to be known for the best German cuisine on this side of the Atlantic. The Bavarian Bierhaus is an absolute embarrassment to that heritage."

"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."

"One of the last handful of the original restaurants of Southampton's still thriving and operating in this town! And so happy it is! No clue what these negative nelly reviewers have to complain about. The food is solid and stick to your ribs good, the portions to price ratio is also very balanced plus the waitresses have been there 30-40 years and know their loyal based customer's usual orders over the phone just by hearing their voice. There are old pictures of what therestaurant looked like back in the early days and other fine memorabilia on the walls too. Menu is part German and part Americana but I'm not mad at that at all. Ordered the escargot stuffed into white mushroom caps with delicious generousdollops of toasted minced garlic and butter. The Bavarian combo platter was not too salty at the least bit, the wienerschnitzel a la Holstein came perfectly topped with a fried egg, lovely plump pan seared filets of anchovies and freshcapers. The mashed potatoes was super buttery, the creamed spinach was divine and the saukraut had just the right amount of vinegar fermented kick to keep you coming back for another bite. Loved their lentil and bean soup of the day and I'musually not a fan of blue cheese dressing at a restaurant but this one was worth licking the plate clean for. Wish I had more space for dessert but that just means we come back for about visit very soon!"

"We were in town with a large group, and it was easy to get a table for eight of us here. We had a good time dancing to the music, especially the silly chicken dance that everyone in the place gets into, including the kids, and also some traditional songs that many people sing along with. I got the sausage-variety wurstplätte, and while I always like fresh grilled bratwurst, i really liked the stronger smokey garlicky flavor of the mettwurst and the also smokey but more peppery flavor of the bierwurst. I had some of their Oktoberfest bier, which is a little sweet with a nice hoppy finish. I didnt realize that Hoffbräuhaus in different cities have different menus, because here they didnt have the same wursts as the ones i had recently in Cleveland. Let me add that this place is on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail, a 24-mile or so riverside trackside hiking and biking trail, mostly paved, with some gravel sections. Kid-friendliness: There’s plenty of room, and kids are welcome to eat and sing and dance!"

"My wife and I were the first to arrive for dinner. Greeted cordially and given a choice of seating. Wait staff was very attentive, initially. We ordered an appetizer, Chaas Spatzli (Cheese Spatzles), which was quite bland. Website menu says $12, but we were charged $16. The entrees followed appropriately. I tried the Berner Platte (pork and sausages) and my wife had the Rouladen (braised beef). Website says $24 and $22, respectively. We were charged $28 each. There were components of each of our plates that were very good, and some that simply lacked flavor. With the Berner Platte, the sauerkraut was very mild and did not provide any flavor punch to any of the pork components of the dish. The mustards served with the dish, however, were excellent. I mixed and matched, creating different flavor profiles to try and get the most out of everything on the plate. The pork chop was one of the best I have ever had. Potatoes were overcooked, almost mush. All in all, a 50/50 on the Berner Platte. The Rouladen featured a braised, thinly sliced beef with a sweet and sour jus of sorts. The waiter brought us a sample of the sauce to taste first. It was very good on the side, but did not pair as well with the beef. The beef carried a flavor that stood on its own, without need for a sauce. It was very good on its own, and took a downturn with the sauce. More of the bland spatzli with it. Veggies were fine. Service was great until the entrees came out. Despite wait staff walking all around us while we were eating, not once did anyone ask how the meal was. On the whole, it was different, but not what I was expecting for the money. Beautiful interior."

"Food is always ok but sometimes it's really good. Unfortunately today it was just ok. Liver dumpling soup could have been hotter and should have had more broth. Wiener schnitzel was too thick and somewhat tough. Portions were generous. Heat was erratic but mainly cold."

"TLDR: Amazing atmosphere, with good service, but only okay food. Atmosphere Wow what a really nice spot on the river in a really cozy building. It’s like teleporting back in time. I absolutely loved the interior. I do want to note that the interior had a HUGE fly problem that docks it a star, which is very unfortunate in this category. Service Very nice waitress, who got us what we need but what knocks it back for me is the time it took to take our orders on what appeared to be a slow evening. Food I’m very mixed on this because the nachos and brussel sprouts were pretty darn good for the appetizers. Unfortunately, the main courses were severely under seasoned and not cooked to standard. I got the my mother and I got the prime rib, and my brother got the mahi mahi fish special. For the price of the prime rib I was left displeased as it lacked any flavor at all and was a huge let down. The mahi mahi suffered a similar problem when I tasted it, though the tropical rice that came with it was pretty good. Food wise, not worth many of the prices for the overall flavor and quality I’m afraid. It’s a neat place to go, just don’t go there expecting something that will blow you away."

"The service was fantastic, but unfortunately, the cleanliness fell short. We ordered chips with chicken cheese dip, but the chips were bland and lacked seasoning. The bathroom was also in poor condition. I had potato soup and a salad; the salad was acceptable, but the soup was again tasteless. My husband ordered a braid with toppings. It looked appealing, but he found it to be bland as well. I believe this could be a great dining spot if they focused on adding more flavor and authenticity instead of settling for average."

"Dinner was equally impressive. The schnitzels were authentic, served with spaetzle that was cooked to perfection. If you're in search of a high-end establishment with gourmet dishes, this isn't the place for you—it's not that kind of venue! Instead, it's a charming family restaurant that transports you to Bavaria. And don't forget to save room for their desserts and bakery items; I definitely ate too much but loved every bit of it!"

"I used to love this restaurant before the pandemic. We had made reservations through Open Table but were told upon arrival that they do not actually accept reservations. We decided to seat ourselves without any issues, so it wasn't a big deal, just a slight hiccup in the system. Due to Covid, they have a limited menu which is still good, but if you have been here before, you will miss some of their usual dishes like the red cabbage. Normally, this place is a 5/5, but with the current situation, it was just okay. The server seemed overwhelmed and the food took longer to come out than usual. We will definitely be back, but hopefully by then they will have their full menu and service back to normal. Overall, it is typically a great experience with delicious food."

"I'm all for celebrating German heritage—I took Herr Koors' classes and even traveled to Germany with him—but the atmosphere feels more like a German-themed bar than a true bier hall. Now, onto the food. It definitely has bar food vibes, which makes sense since it's a bar in the back—well done on that front. I ordered the Pool Hall Cheeseburger, but I advise against getting just the bier cheese option; it’s terrible without cheese. I had to assemble my own burger and pour the cheese myself, but it just didn’t stay on the burger, lacked flavor, and caused my bun to fall apart. If I wanted to eat at a bar, I would have stayed in Oldenburg and gone to the Pub instead. I don't understand the reasoning behind this business decision; it’s a disappointing move that doesn’t honor the restaurant formerly known as the Sherman."

"My first time here, someone we know had been here last week and recommended it to us. We decided to try it out for lunch on a Sunday. I read a few of the reviews and took some of the recommendations for the food. The Pork Shank Entree was pretty darn good! The Salad a good size for 2 to share. I liked the small German Salad Combo too. Fries not so much, cold and too salty. Not much for any Vegan to choose from though limited vegetarian items are on the menu. After all, this is a meat and potatoes place! The outside patio was just the right place for a casual Sunday Lunch. It was comfortable on a sunny afternoon with plenty of shade. Beware of some of the benches before sitting down! You can end up on the ground if you sit on the end that extends beyond the supports!"

"Really great service great drinks Vincent is an exceptional bar tender. I had the chicken Parm and linguini a few gin and tonics and a chocolate martini. The staff was attentive, professional and kind. The food was very good high quality. The salad was meager just lettuce and a tomato no cucumbers or anything thats my only negative note. The vibe is old school and friendly older music, mixed crowd. I will be back for sure. I really liked it. Great service, great food, thanks guys!Parking: Paid street parking I came around 6pm and there were a few spots nearby."

"Just visited BK Sweeney's on 12/16/22. Bar was busy but lots of tables open and now I know why. Me and my wife had been here a long time ago and decided to try it out again and that was a mistake. First thing I noticed is the kitchen. I saw how they were making the food and I should have known let's leave it at that. So we sit down, I order the French Dip and quite honestly the meat had no taste, was fatty and after a few bites I couldn't swallow it anymore. I left over three-quarters of my meal and even the busboy after he looked at it said he wouldn't take it home either. My wife ordered as an ap the soft pretzels; how bad could it be. Well, it comes with mustard and what's supposed to be melted cheese. The cheese looked like it came out of a can and straight to the table. Pretty nasty. I will definitely not be visiting here again."

"We celebrated a special occasion at Waldhorn for dinner. The restaurant was extremely clean and well-maintained. Our waitress was courteous and efficient. I decided to try the pumpkin martini, which was a delightful surprise for pumpkin lovers. The whipped cream topping was fantastic. I ordered the cheese plate for my main course and it was absolutely delicious. I was worried it might be too heavy, but it was just right - not too rich, not too light. The addition of bacon really enhanced the flavor. For dessert, we shared the German chocolate cake, which was a special for the day. I usually find German chocolate desserts to be overly sweet, but this one had just the right balance of flavors. The strawberry, mint, and whipped cream on the side added a refreshing touch. We also ordered a standard coffee to go with our dessert, which was a perfect complement to the cake."

"Had reservations for a party of 8 on a Saturday night first time for me and most of the party . I always check websites to check on menu and price which seen on the high side but figured food has to be good. To make a long story short, service was very slow and seem like there was a staffing problem. Our orders did not come out together and the seafood dish I ordered was not to great. Waited at least 20 minutes for the check after we asked for it. For a BYOB place I felt the prices was a little high"
