| - I'd heard of this place, but I had no idea what we were getting into. This isn't your average restaurant -- it's an experience. The Hofbrauhaus has been getting plenty of attention lately, but Sterle's is the original thing. Polka music, a huge dining hall with long tables, and family-style German food.
It's not for the health-conscious, but it was delicious. We had the Bavarian pretzels, which they serve with the most delicious beer cheese I've ever tasted. I got the Wienerschnitzel, which was pretty tasty, with fries, average. The whole table gets a loaf of white bread to snack on while waiting for the meals, and they also brought us little apricot cookies before we left.
It was fun, and got rowdier and rowdier as the night went on, and the dance floor filled up with people dancing to polka. Definitely a family atmosphere. My one complaint was the slow service, and waitress who didn't seem to care. We got there at 5:30 when it was half full, and by the time we left, every table was occupied. So I couldn't really blame the waitress. Still, not a place you want to go for a quick meal.
