I'm going to start this review slightly negative, which I think is okay because I did give Oma's 5 stars in my review. My first visit was inspired by cravings for German food. So I was (more than a little) disappointed when I arrived at Oma's Place and found it to be nothing more than a typical American sandwich deli that happened to have a 'German Dish of the Day' for $7.99.
Of course, then I ordered that first GDotD - which happened to the cabbage roll day - and was treated to two good sized pork cabbage rolls, lightly covered in sauce, with a side of warm and tangy potato salad. The tagessuppe was Corn Chowder - served piping hot - in a light broth with lots of potato chunks and corn kernels. It was amazing.
And then I went back again for another GDotD - on beef rouladen day - a single, good sized rouladen, exceptionally tender, with rich mashed potatoes and sweet red cabbage sliced unusually thick.
I'll make my way though the all the GDotDs eventually. As for the rest of the Oma's Place experience, the lady at the cashier was super friendly. The restaurant itself was open and bright - with huge windows - and several benches outside in the shade for some outdoor eating. I'll admit it... I don't think I would head out here just for sandwiches (when in Phoenix, I'm down in Tempe), but I absolutely would for the german food.
