This is what happens when you combine a German beer hall and a bunch of Americans appetite for booze. Us Americans do everything faster and louder. I've been to HofbrÀuhaus in Munich, as well as Cincinnati and Columbus, and leave it to Cleveland to make it wild. Granted it was a Saturday night and the Buckeyes were on, but the place was slammed, servers were running around completely overwhelmed, and drunk people everywhere.
So you may ask why I rated it 4 stars? Well, because this is kind of what I expected. I should also add that the food was freaking amazing and I need to go on a German food diet, if that's a thing...if not, it should be. The perch was seasoned and fried perfectly. The pierogis were delicious, especially with sour cream, and the sauerkraut balls were the best I've ever had.
