I was born and raised in Germany. I came here last night to entertain my boyfriend and his family. We showed up at about 6:45 pm and I don't believe we were served before 7:45 pm. The restaurant was packed as was the bar (which surprised me for being in that part of Mesa), so we seated ourselves in the bar, where we each had a drink. $21 bucks, not bad for four. I had my "dreckigen" (the 'dirty'), or "coke-beer" for those who don't know, and it was refreshing. They serve you in large glasses too but the beer is so smooth, it really goes down easy.
When we were seated and looked at the menu, none of us could decide on one thing. It all looked great and of course, by now we were just starving. We each made an order, I got the "Schweinebraten" (Pork with dumplings and sauerkraut).
We were then served bread and asked to help ourselves at the full salad bar. The salad bar had lots to offer, and certainly helped to hold us over for dinner.
I was a little embarassed how long it finally took to get our food. It's pretty custom to have to wait for your meals in Germany. When you order, you must expect a wait of at least 30 minutes but I wasn't accustomed to that anymore (call me americanized!). But fortunately everyone was fine (thanks to the great bread and salad bar) and we weren't in a rush.
Once dinner finally came (and the restaurant started to clear out slowly), everyone seemed happy with their dish. I really should have ordered a Schnitzel, the pork was too 'smokey' for me, and the dumplings were not the kind I enjoy, but if you enjoy pork, you should be able to enjoy this dish. I was trying to be 'different' and go for something 'new' but usually there is a reason why you like what you like and why you should probably stick to what you like ;)
Point is, we all had a good time, the plates were big, we went home with left overs, I think it was a nice experience and I do recommend it.
Just make sure you get the Schnitzel or Wurst next time ;)
