| - So this review is from an OLD visit. I'd been meaning to write this and am just now getting around to it. Better late than never right?
So, I've been a diehard Germany soccer fan for a few years now. I was really excited this World Cup and had already watched 2 games at the Hofbrauhaus which cost me more than I'd like to talk about. Let's just say I have no qualms with drinking at 8am. SO on a whim I decided to check out if there were any other German joints that were: 1. Closer to me and 2. More affordable. Lo and behold this place popped up on my search a WEEK after they opened! Talk about fate!
I call them asking if they'll be showing the game that morning, to which I was told, "If you're here for the game, our door will be open!" So next morning I show up, decked out in my jersey and facepaint, and they let me in before operating hours to watch the game (Germany vs. France, we won of course) and serve me and my boyfriend beer. Talk about service! And getting to smell all the wonderful smells from the kitchen as they were preparing for the day made the day even better!
Not to mention the food is SO GOOD. German cuisine, in my opinion at least, is the ULTIMATE COMFORT FOOD. The potato salad (Kartoffelsalat) is a different variation of what I'm used to making or getting, but YUM! I wanted spaetzle, but the machine was broken that day, thankfully I was not disappointed with the salad at all. Topping off the whole experience is the expertly made from scratch Apfelstrudel. DO NOT HESITATE TO ORDER THIS! It is just like my Tante used to make, SEHR LECKER!
I'll definitely be back here not only to enjoy the wonderfully authentic food, but to support the lovely people who accommodated a wild soccer fan on the day of the World Cup Quarterfinals. I appreciated the hospitality more than you know! :]
