I visited this place after the TV episode of "You Got to Eat Here". I will try to be very objective:
"Hacker" beer is way below average in taste
I waited 40 minutes to get a seat, AND 80 MINUTES TO GET A MEAL, No exaggeration, at one point the 16 tables on the floor were expecting their food and no single dish coming out of the kitchen, that's not acceptable on a Saturday night between 6-8.
Staff is neutral lean towards "I don't care"
The star dish is the pork Hox ($20) (Haxe in German) though good size but the flavor is lacking. served with 6 cubes of potatoes! and Sauerkraut. My wife and son got the meat meal for two, mix of everything, huge meat portions but no veggies ($45) one of the sausage has a unique flavor and the smoked pork chops was good, stake was mediocre, schnitzel was lacking flavor but looks huge.
I ordered as well something called Goulash soup, half full small bowl without a cracker for $7.5 just a stew with 1 cube of beef and 3 cubes of over cooked veggies.
Live music was very good
Worth to try? yes....go again? Maybe
