Cameron BybeeFebruary 17, 2018Pretzel with the mustard trio is amazing, potato pancakes, and sausage platter (wurstfeast) great as well! Knowledgeable and friendly staff happy to answer questions.
Jonathan HanenNovember 22, 2014The Sauerbraten and the Jagerschnitzel are quite good. The Spaten Optimator double bock on tap is great, and they have Rauchbier in bottles.
Henry HelmesDecember 9, 2012This place is delicious and the service is top notch!! Our server Sarah was awesome and very cute!
Jack LincolnDecember 10, 2018Solid German food with some German speaking staff. Jagersnitzel is my favorite.- Chris FredericksDecember 28, 2014Authentic German food and beer. Very friendly staff and gemütlichkeit abounds.
Save room for dessert because they always have 6-8 on hand and they're all fantastic.
must try: wurstplatte, kassler rippchen and schnitzels. great beer. knowledgeable servers. cold German beer!
Christopher BoesenMarch 16, 2010A sunny afternoon on the patio with a hefeweizen or a good German pils is as close to gemütlichkeit as you will get in Washington.
