This was by far the most horrible tasting German food I have ever put in my mouth. It was practically inedible. I literally had two bites of everything I ordered (except the overly sweet salad-left canned green beans behind) and could not gag down any more. We ordered the Jagerschnitzel, spaetle, potato dumpling and red cabbage - our favorites. The pork was poor quality grade, tough and chewy. The gravy tasted as if it made from a powdered mix pouch. The spaetzle was a dry hardened yellow color but did taste alright. The vegetables were overly steamed - soggy. The potato dumplings would have been ok (although very gummy) had they not been smothered in another gravy from a jar with an odd cinnamon flavor to it. The red cabbage was sickenly sweet and syrupy thick. I was not expecting the gourmet German I am accustomed to but rather was told to expect ""home-style"" German. Well, I have been to Germany twice and have eaten at 4 other German restaurants in Colorado (all not that good) and I would not even consider this food ""home-style"". None of it tasted even remotely homemade. Not even the apple strudel dessert could salvage the dinner. I was awful too. More like an apple cobbler - the almond whipped cream didn't do much for it either. It was an extreme disappointment after reading these reviews. Different taste buds I suppose... Definitely not worth the 1 1/2 hour drive and will NOT be coming back. Service was not that great either. The only good thing is we sat inside in the small section next to the fireplace. Cozy atmosphere - could do without the strolling musicians though - they did not play any German music just strange song requests. Outside looked fun if you were there for beer and brats during the afternoon or an Oktoberfest party.
