This German restaurant is very small, but very quaint with limited inside seating. We got there just as it opened, first people there. LOL, the inside, and porch seating filled shortly after we arrived... it's a testimate to good meals coming. There's plenty of seating outside, which looked well maintained, to include limited seating on the porch. The staff was fabulous, caring and professional. Food came in good time, and it was good; much, much better than other local (Kemper, Harker Heights) German restaurants. We will be going back.

The best surprise I've had in a long time. The food, service ambiance was amazing. I love findings these gems, careful you'll drive right past this tiny place with 4 indoor tables. I'd wait an hour if I had to!

Sides are not that great other than the potatoes, green bean salad tasted like canned beans served cold, but the schnitezel was amazing. Nice people working there.

We were looking for Bavarian food, and this restaurant popped up in our search. It's a tiny eatery with a quaint and quirky aesthetic. The service was lovely and attentive. There's a charming origin story on the menu as well. My husband and I picked schnitzel, but he went with the potatoes while I went with the Spätzle because I couldn't remember what it was (and there wasn't a description, nor did I ask.) I did wish I had picked the potatoes in the end. Both plates came with warm red cabbage. We also ordered a side of potato salad and a bratwurst. Both of those were enjoyable. The cheesecake was alright, though more cake-like than creamy. My favorite part of the meal was the Mandarin Cream cake. Everything was affordable, but we were disappointed there was no beer selection. For us, trying Bavarian beers is part of the experience. I'm sure there's a reason they've chosen not to serve alcohol here, and we respect that. It was missed, though. I can't say we won't eat here again, but we were looking for more options.

Delicious authentic German food in a warm friendly setting! Can't wait to return. Small homey restaurant where you can see and hear the ladies cooking your food and it didn't take long at all to get our hot, freshly made food.

Okay I can't stop thinking about this place. I was up in the Harker Heights area and was looking up food options when I came across this quaint little restaurant. Saw great reviews and said hey why not. I went on a Saturday and it doesn't open until 4pm. I got there around 5pm and the parking lot was almost full. Inside, it's actually pretty small but they do have outside seating which is what we did. We got the Wiener schnitzel and zigeuner schnitzel. Each schnitzel come with 2 sizes so we got sauerkraut, home fries, spatzle, and potato salad. Everything with delicious! The Wiener schnitzel doesn't come with any gravy but we got some on the side to try. Highly recommend. The zigeuner schnitzel has sauce with bell peppers and omg I'm still thinking about this. Sooo yummy! All the sides were so good. It was my first time trying spatzle and I loved it! The potato salad was probably one of the best potato salads I've ever had. It has a bit of sauerkraut mixed in it as well which I think gives it the extra delicious flavor. Next time I'm going to try out the red cabbage. The meal also comes with free bread in the beginning. I tried out their spetzi drink as well which was fanta mixed with cola. Definitely give it a try if you've never tried it before. Overall, I loved everything about this place. Food was great and the staff was friendly. I'm definitely coming back here again!
