"Great place in Oberhausen for some Bavarian food. The place is totally decorated with a Bavarian theme and it was very full. I ordered a alcohol free beer and a Schweinehaxen (Pork Knuckle). The pork knuckle was served with baked potatoes. The meat was very tender and tasty, while the skin was very crusty and crispy. It was super delicious! Super recommend!"

"Very nice place, cozy atmosphere, with christmas market view at the outside. We went for the knuckle but too bad we were too early, it need another 2 hours to be ready. Staff was very friendly"

"Excellent local food like gulasch soup or cream patato soup. Traditional sousages with mash patato and cabbage. Pretty crowded and usually full for weekends. Service fast enough, pretty good job they do. Anyway beer to try is obligatory Franziskaner whisse beer as it is apsolute top there. For smokers there is also terrace with gas heaters so even now in November you can enjoy there. Sure this is one of places where we go regularly and will come back again."
