I am basing my review on the food only - I was not here under circumstances that would allow me to drink and perhaps if I were drunk the food would have seemed much better. I do know a thing or two about German food having lived there for awhile.
I was there with a group for a late lunch during the week. I ordered two of my favorites - Spätzle and the potato dumpling. First of all the Spätzle (which used to be the best in town in the German Corner days) was dry, but not only dry, it tasted like it had been sitting out because the ends of some of the spätzle were hard and dried out. yuck. The potato dumpling was more of a Semmelknödel - bread dumpling and it was hard and crusty in spots not to mention really flavorless. One of the others in our group ordered the Weisswurst with pretzel and potato salad. Her wurst was barley warm and like reported earlier, they are passing off freezer pretzels you can get at costco as the real deal. (not even close). I think the kicker was that the potato salad looked more like what I could get at Frys than anything I would consider German potato salad. It seems to me that they are cutting a lot of corners where food is concerned. I really got the feeling that this is a party place to drink - for that it may be good. But for good, authentic, and tasty German food, I will pick Haus Murphy's any day over the Black Forest Mill.
