I saw this place on Yelp and figured I should give it a shot since visiting the original in Munich is a few years away for me. This was a good choice. The place was off the strip but not too far away. They had free valet parking out front of the cool looking building. We had a reservation that we made on Yelp and were seated in about 30 seconds. Once inside the dining hall it was a little loud at first. There was a band playing Oompah music but there were in the midst of the "raise your glass" chant. We were seated at the traditional long wooden tables with benches. Comfortable enough. Our waitress was over quickly to take our drink orders. BEER! I had the original in a giant glass mug. It was perfect.
After a few mins we had figured out what we wanted from the decent sized menu. I had saurbraten that was awesome. My wife has the sampler with several different types of sausage and a pretzel. The food was delicious and went well with the beer. The band played the whole time and would occasionally get a little loud. It was all fun though. At one point the singer grabbed an Alpine Horn and went around playing that on each table in the place looking for tips. We gladly obliged. It was also quite funny to see some other ladies walking around with a large wooden paddle. Guys were lining up to get spanked. It wasn't super dirty or anything, which would have been bad because we had some kids with us. They all laughed at it and had a good time coloring and enjoying their kids dishes.
After the dinner we made a trip through the gift shop and picked up a few things including a small boot shot glass. :)
Can't wait to see the original in Germany! PROST!
