| - First of all, I'm German, have lived there most my life and therefore can be extremely bias. I went here for the AYCE buffet on the last Saturday of every month. It was my first time and I was hoping to have a chance to explore their entire (or most of it) during that event. Only to be disappointed with having the average stuff.
schnitzel, it was pan fried for sure. The chef- owner kept refilling the station, literally having fried 5 small prices of Schnitzel in a standard size cast-iron pan. Some of the schnitzel were perfectly cooked, some of them were too brown/crispy/burned on one side.
Sausages, they serve 3 kind during the AYCE buffet, so they were so-so, in my opinion. I love German sausages...they run in my blood, they didn't have the Brötchen (bread) for me to put them in, as you would like back home. The curry sauce was so-so. Not like I remember from my favorite curry wurst stand back home.
Rotkohl was good. I have been looking for a decent brand to by in store, but have not found one like back home. The rot kohl here was close enough to the taste I crave every now and then.
Bouletten (Frikadelle) was ok, a little on the dry side. They kept falling apart when I ate them. Just like the schnitzel, they were either ok, or burned on one side.
Salads were average. I did like the cucumber salad. I wish they would offer some more authentic like Bohnen salat.
They had mini cupcakes and a few assorted cookies for desert, nothing too memorable or German. Mini cupcakes are the ones from costco or walmart you can buy, with the circle sugar sprinkles.
I have to try their regular menu on a regular day, to see what all the good reviews are about. Otherwise the AYCE was a miss for me.
I did like how it was off the strip and away from the hofbrauhaus drinking crowd. I could actually focus on eating rather than trying to dodge he biersteins.
