i love this place. it's real home cooking. it's like if your grandmother was German and really knew her way around the kitchen. it's the from scratch chicken soup, the delicious sauerkraut (which is not always easy to do unless you're a major lover of the stuff). it's the tender schnitzel, and the perfect spaetzle... to the hand stretched apple strudel and respectable cup of coffee - as well as the beers that are extremely finely brewed... Hansa is a solid choice in cleveland that won't let you down. real food. no frills. SOLID. and i bow down to that.
