Awesome meal !!! Our server, Joshua, helped us decide on what we should try. Loved it all. Started off with the giant pretzel 🥨, yummy. I had the pot roast which was so tender & flavorful. My husband had the traditional pork schnitzel which he...enjoyed. We also tried the spatzle and cheese & German potato salad...both were very tasty 😋. Took apple strudel to go for a treat later. Will definitely return again when we are in area. Great meal & awesome service !!!More

Everything we had was absolutely wonderful! From the beer, pretzel, potato pancakes, sausage sampler to wings and the potato salad - all of it was great. The server Christi was great and BJ was awesome. We will definitely be back!

Our server Josh was great and personable! He took time to have a personal conversation with us it was like he became a member of the family during our lunch. He also made great recommendations with the Salmon and the pot roast. It was delicious...would definitely come back next time we’re in town! Ask for Josh he’s great!❤️More

I enjoyed the pot roast here very much but my family and I’s favorite part of our visit at the restaurant was our server Joshua. He was nice, patient, and gave us suggestions on what we should order. He was also consistent with checking on...our table to make sure we were all content and that our drinks were filled lol. He was also a great conversationalist. He definitely made this a five star experience and if I ever visit Tennessee again I’m gonna have to come back and request Joshua yo be my server! 10/10!More

Great German food and locally brewed German style beer. I lived in Germany for 5 years and this place is authentic. Sit at the bar to catch Michael's "comedy show".

Great food with large portions. We got the sausage sampler appetizer and the Goulash (dinner special). As recommend by our gracious host BJ. It was all delicious! Also for dessert we got the apple fritter things (I don’t remember the name) it was a 10/10.

We came in after an enjoyable but exhausting day in Gatlinburg and our server BJ and the bartender Micheal couldn't have been more fun! BJ kept our drinks full and our conversations lively, Micheal joked around with us about our drinks and they introduced us...to Jimmy and Bill! It's such a wonderful team/family they've got and we can't wait to come back!More

Upon arrival both Christi and BJ greeted us outside. Once we were seated, Christi gave us a full rundown of the menu - what's popular, what she recommends, what they were out of. Even let us sample a few of their beers. Both Christi and...BJ were very attentive and friendly. Even with having an issue with something we ordered, Christi was very apologetic and both her and BJ were willing to help to make things right. Everything we ate was great. The apple strudel is beyond amazing!! Highly recommend!!More

Fantastic food!! We got the goulash, potato cakes, pretzel, apple dessert and chocolate cake. All were so delicious. We especially loved the goulash, pretzel, and apple dessert.
