(from Google)What an awful dining experience last night. For the setting, there were a total of six different groups of people, not crowded at all. We had to wait 15 minutes to order. Fish was supposed to come with clam chowder but a different soup was served. Fries weren’t ready when the fish came got them on one plate after we were done eating our fish. Crab cakes and coleslaw were awful. When we complained not even an apology from the lady in charge. We were there for over an hour and a half on top of that! NOT GOOD!
Long wait to no one's fault. Told us immediately there was one chef and one server it would be extra time. Great environment and view of the lake. Sat by a window. It was nice talking with my husband as we waited because the internet is not the best. Unplugged lunch! Food was fantastic. The Ruben was dripping yummy krout and dressing. Fires made to perfection. Lightly salted. Tombstone burger was made how my husband ordered it, medium. He said that was one of the best burgers he's had. Says alot when he has 60 years of eating burgers behind him.
Not sure why some reviews are trashing this place. The food is very good, Käsespatzen (Spätzle with cheese and onions) are just like I had them back home in Bavaria. Homemade also the Kraut, simply delicious. Weihenstephaner Helles vom Fass (Lager from close to my hometown on tap) Waiters are running a marathon and of course a bit of patience is all u have to bring when going there. Amazing lake view included. And we will be back for sure!
The view is the only thing this place has going for it. We genuinely used to love coming here, but the place has declined over the past few years. They were not busy. The waiter acted like we were a bother. We asked for straws, and it took 15 minutes to get them, and he placed them down unwrapped on the dirty picnic table. We got appetizers to split because I can't eat much due to Health concerns. My friends got entrees. They charged us for a split plate, and I simply had 2 fries off of my friends plate. We ordered the salmon special, and it was not fully cooked. They would not take it off the bill and only offered to reheat it when the manager came out. The owner manager Jeff was extremely rude despite us originally being kind. Needless to say we will not be going back. I would recommend packing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and walking the lake before dining here.
Food was absolutely top tier. Service was great, and the views of the lake and hummingbirds really adds to the ambiance. Don't forget to ask about what type of sausage servers like, they might give you an option that's not on the menu and it's fantastic. German pancakes are great, and corned beef hash is as it should be. Ambient noise is too much, you can't hear people at your own table sometimes.
