The quality of the food is amazing. The service is great and the taste will rock your world. The outside of the building looks cheesy but once you enter its a whole different world.

Went for breakfast, we tried an omelet, eggs Benedict, and the French toast, all were excellent! We loved it so much, we decided to go back for supper. We tried the Wiener schnitzel and the jaeger schnitzel, and were very pleased with both. STRONGLY recommend the spaetzle and red cabbage. While we were there, an older gentleman who was born... More

From the moment you walk in you are surrounded with a great feeling. The coffee was the best I've had in a long time and the food was delicious. The waitresses were friendly and the restaurant is spotless. Give it a try.

The last thing I expected on a vacation to Ft Myers Beach, was such authentic German food. I could make a meal out of the red cabbage and spaetzel (both just melt in your mouth). I suggest that you skip the salad that comes with some of the entrees and choose the many other wonderful options available. My only suggestion... More

Had breakfast here twice and everything was cooked perfectly. I have finally made my son and wife a fan of German food. The jaegerschnitzel and sauerbraten are very good as is the homemade spaetzle. Everything is cooked fresh to order and the chef has a lot of pride in his craft.

This restaurant was the most authentic German food I have had here in the U.S. (and I traveled to Germany to live for a while!) The apple streudel and potato pancakes were delightful. The service was wonderful too and the chef cares about what you think, so tell him!

If you crave authentic German food, this is the place to get it! Our sauerbraten and jaegerschnitzel were as good or better than any we've had in Munich or Deggendorf, and the Warsteiner on tap and the German reisling were perfect companions. The red cabbage was oh sooo good with subtle hints of cinnamon and clove. The chef hails from... More

In the middle of a 10 mile walk we stopped here for a break. we highly recommend the apple strudel! we sat outside on the small deck which offered a nice break in the middle of a long walk. service was cheerful and friendly, even for such a small order.
