"If I could give 6 stars I would. This is such a lovely place, like going back to grandma's kitchen. A family and very proudly owned german heritage place. The food was exceptional, freshly made, perfectly flavored. Everyone was so attentive, they made a simple lunch a delightful experience"

"Great little German restaurant. Feels like you stepped back in time. Very intimate dining with very authentic food. I had the Variety Plate which was one cabbage roll, one Polish sausage with coarse ground mustard, one Pierogi smothered in grilled crispy onions. Come with two sides, I chose hot German Potato Salad ( incredible!) and Red Cabbage which was also incredible. I don’t often rave about side dishes but these were great. All the food was fantastic and delicious. Service was friendly and excellent. Owner came out to see if we were satisfied; we were! Deserts looked really good but I was too full from the meal to indulge. Definitely on my list to eat at next time I return. It is definitely “Food Worth Stopping For”."
