I'm from Chicago (area) and a German family so we've been to our share of German places. I love rouladen and order it very often. The one thing that stood out about this dish was the thick, salty, obviously packaged gravy. It ruined the whole plate. You can see the high gloss of the gravy in the picture. The owner came around and he is German, he should be making this from scratch. Shortcuts are going to make the dish (and the visit) not worth it. This may be the best German place in this area, but not the best I've experienced. On the flip side, it is nice to see something different in an area full of chain restaurants.
