What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Das Boot Camp for its authentic German flavors, excellent craft beers, and friendly service, creating a convivial beer hall atmosphere. While many find the food delicious and portions generous, some have noted a lack of authenticity or flavor compared to traditional German cuisine.
"All the food was really good and delivered on the flavors that the menu described. Every sausage had a unique flavor. I also really enjoyed the curry ketchup. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu."
Yana Marshall
"If you have had real German food you will be disappointed. There was nothing authentic about this place. The pretzel was the best part of the meal. The boot of beer is in a plastic boot. I really don't know anyone who prefers to drink beer out of plastic. You dont get to keep the plastic boot so why not invest in glass? This had more of a hipster vibe than a German vibe. I took over half mine with me a gave it to a homeless kid. So it all worked out."
Dawn Osborne
"This is a quaint little place, staff very friendly and efficient. The food was ok, not a lot of flavor, sausage was good, noodles good,saurkraut good, pork roast had good flavor but too much fat/gristle in several bites. The Pretzel was good and soft and with the mustard but it had no salt and it comes with like a pimento cheese not a beer cheese and I didn't really care for it,unfortunately I prefer other German restaurants. I didn't get to try the beer, might go back for that!"
