| - This review should have been written after my first visit but alas, it was incomplete as I didn't have a chance to really try the big attraction here...No, I'm not referring to the schnitzel although that is good!
No, I'm referring to the renowned customer service by Karl and the potato salad.
You see, I came here on a dreary, rainy Thursday afternoon and it was unassuming. You see, I've read about this place at great length and heard my sister rave about this place. You see, I don't like to venture out too far east of Yonge that often because, well...It's out of the way and I don't like to venture into unfamiliar surroundings.
Here's the deal. The day we went, I wanted to go check out the new Sak's at The Bay. Afterwards, we got here and were disappointed when informed they were sold out of potato salad. My sister was not happy at all. It was my fault for asking to go into Sak's. To make matters worse, the guy who must have ordered us got his schnitzel dinner, complete with potato salad.
We wanted to try the potato leek soup but alas, like the potato salad, that was sold out too. We shared a King and let me tell you. It was great! I normally don't like sauerkraut and the idea of kraft singles on a cutlet didn't sound too appetizing. But let me tell you, that sandwich was incredible! So much so that I still think about it now.
While we were waiting for food, a bunch of people came in. I mean, this place was full of people just waiting to order or waiting to pay. It was packed. I told Karl we were hoping to try the potato salad as that was the main attraction, he was sympathetic but said it's hard to figure out when a big rush is going to happen. The girl was very friendly and polite, Karl on this day was busy serving up food and talking to a few locals but mostly he was working.
Fast forward, Easter Monday. I was still feeling guilty for causing my sibling to miss out on potato salad (she went to lengths to remind me that she wished she had it). So I decide to walk down to Schnitzel Queen. However, this time I decided to call first and make sure there was potato salad before I came.
I will spare you further narratives and get to the point. Karl was much friendlier this time, the place wasn't packed and the food was amazing. Some people complain that it's quantity not quality but these people are too picky IMO. The schnitzel is very large but it's also tasty and it's paired with nice fixings! I don't like egg in my potato salad, and pickles are seldom an ok food. Yet they are in the potato salad! It's amazing! One more thing that makes this potato salad awesome you ask? Unlike other potato salads which have chunks of potatoes, Schnitzel Queen features thin slices of potatoes.
They say business is very brisk during the summer, but I hope they do well. I'll make the trek down here when I can to support this place. Prices are taxes included. That way I don't have to figure out taxes, math can be difficult for some of us!
Oh, yes before I forget. Their desserts are sometimes made in house and sometimes from elsewhere. I got the creme puff and it was well priced for $3.
The bread may not be crusty here, but the schnitzel compensates for it. Plus, if you're talkative, you may find yourself having engaging conversations with Karl, Mustache guy (I didn't get your name) or the friendly girl (is that a real German accent?)
