First time here, lunch with a couple of coworkers. One of my friends and I like to split multiple dishes, so that is what we did. I am also a sucker for pretzels, so I ordered one for the table to share. Our server was very pleasant and accommodating to our group.
While the pretzel was cooking, our server brought out the soups and salads that were ordered with our meals. The side salad that came with my meal had a wonderfully tangy Dijon vinaigrette dressing on top along with a nice selection of lettuce and grape tomatoes. My coworker loved the chicken tortellini soup he got.
Nexrt was our Bavarian pretzel appetizer. It was thin (in diameter) and the outside appeared overcooked as it was almost impossible to break pieces off...even though the inside was chewy. It was a little strange in its consistency. However, the beer cheese dip that accompanied it was delicious, so much so that i used a spoon to eat the last bit left over after the pretzel was gone!
The two main dishes we shared were the chicken schnitzel and chicken paprikash. The chicken schnitzel was plump and moist with a mild dill gravy sauce on top that also covered the spätzle. The chicken paprikash was full of paprika flavor and nicely creamy along with large chunks of chicken and spätzle. I think i liked both dishes equally and would easily order either one again.
Most people don't know that Donauschwaben's has an "every day" restaurant available for lunch and dinner...now we do and we will definitely be back.
