| - I read about the Berliner and was intrigued enough to give it a try last night around dinner time. We walked in right behind another group and we all studied the menu together. They were offered samples of anything and everything, sadly we were not. I thought this was a little weird, but since there were only 2 of us we decided to just place an order for what sounded good. I chose the Boozer, mainly because it was served on a pretzel bun. It was good, but had a bit of a sweet flavor, which I found surprising. My husband got the Stinker, which is accompanied by some garlic and onions on top. It was definitely tasty and the superior of the two in my opinion. We got a side of sauerkraut, which I found to be mild and lacking in flavor. We also shared a side of fries, which were crispy, hot, and delicious. I liked that they offer about 5 different kinds of mustard, but I almost wish they were not behind the counter so we could pour them ourselves without having to ask for more. I found the staff to be friendly, but they were all pretty young and you could tell that they were still trying to get the menu and a rhythm down. I was also surprised that they close at 7 and they turned away some customers who arrived a few minutes after 7. It seemed like a mistake for such a new business to be turning away paying customers. Overall, the food is OK, but not amazing or really memorable in any way. I can see some potential growing pains, like consistency popping up in their future. It was very clear from my experience that they were the new business on the block.
