| - We'd heard so much about Wurst we figured we just had to check it out. The place was pretty busy on a Sunday night but we got a table on the main floor and dug into the menu. Unfortunately a few things we wanted were sold out, mostly seafood, so we had to settle for some of the waiter's recommendations.
The "Bavarian Wings", a sausage-stuffed wings appetizer, was truly vile. Jumbo wings (turkey wings, possibly) arrived in a skillet absolutely coated in greasy-looking buffalo sauce atop a fried "pretzel crumb" coating. They were tough (nearly too tough to cut through with a knife) and the "chicken" meat was crumbly and dry. The sausage was nearly flavorless under that thick coating of buffalo sauce. Very disappointing.
My dinner guest ordered the Thuringer Brat and was equally disappointed in the overly dry, flavorless sausages he was presented with.
My main of prime rib was a huge, fatty slab of meat. The meat was undersalted (I felt like a Food Network judge saying "this needs more seasoning") and the side vegetables were bitter, overcooked, and limp.
Our waiter was completely distracted and several times forgot to bring us things he had promised - more water, the bill, the credit card machine.
Definitely more hype than content.
