They also have me a bunch of mustards and horseradish to go with the Old World Sausage Sampler! Speaking of it was very nice that they wrapped up the bread so it wouldn't get soggy! The Potato Pancakes were nice and crisp and the Apple Strudel was an awesome choice for the dessert considering I dont think I could have finished one of their cream puffs! As always it was delicious, 10/10

Bowl of Soup of the Day was chili and it was fantastic. Jumbo Chocolate Cream Puff was a mixed bag. I didn't care for the pastry, but the filling was delicious. Hot Kraut und Pork was a very small portion with only one small piece of pork. Everything was well packaged; hot food arrived hot.

Extremely rich food and lots of it. The Traditional Corned Beef Reuben was excellent and fresh along with potatoes on the side. The Sauerkraut-Bratwurst Balls also were very creamy and rich. The Jumbo Specialty Puff was pumpkin flavor and the star of the show for me. I've got plenty of leftovers. Don't order here unless you're very hungry!

I ordered the Chicken Griller with white bread, and the bread arrived completely soggy from the chicken juice, to the point I could not pick it up. The potato salad was good. Chicken soup was good but you get a small portion for the money.

1st time eating here and I mostly ordered from them to get some soup (sick day!!!). Chicken Noodle Soup was good quality, thicker broth with a good flavor and good size/texture noodles. The other soup was a Sausage and Bean soup, tasty, bit watery but some crackers helped thicken it up. The soup had more sausage than beans. Lastly I got a Ham and Cheese sandwich which was decent but nothing special. Potato salad was not my thing, no, no , no, they need to let you sub sides especially since they have some good looking sides but never paired with the entree I'd eat.
