Men's Health MagNovember 17, 2011Where else can you drink Oktoberfest beer, year round, from a boot-shaped stein the size of your thigh? Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan drank here. Go for the Spaten Season—Oktoberfest…because you can.Upvoted Feb 25
Great lunch from start to finish. Pretzel bread to start. Excellent service. Great range of dishes from traditional German to an option or two for vegetarians.
VISITMilwaukeeJanuary 17, 2013Sauerbraten? Goulasch? Schnitzel? It’s all here! Get a taste of authentic German cuisine at the place that has served legends like John F. Kennedy, Bob Hope, Audrey Hepburn and more!
Della ZNovember 18, 2012Awesome Sunday brunch with strawberry champagne. Great spread of an unlimited buffet with German fare, omelet station, waffles, dessert, etc. Good service and very authentic!
Rebecca MNovember 6, 2014Reuben rolls, ftw. Don't sit in the side alcoves in main dining rm unless u want to share yr convo with everyone.
Watched a great show about Milwaukee bars, turns out they follow the manager of the bar (Mary), over the amazing staff that keeps the place afloat. Too bad they dont follow up with hidden cameras.
