Men's Health MagNovember 17, 2011Where else can you drink Oktoberfest beer, year round, from a boot-shaped stein the size of your thigh? Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan drank here. Go for the Spaten Season—Oktoberfest…because you can.Upvoted Sep 21
VISITMilwaukeeJanuary 17, 2013Sauerbraten? Goulasch? Schnitzel? It’s all here! Get a taste of authentic German cuisine at the place that has served legends like John F. Kennedy, Bob Hope, Audrey Hepburn and more!
Great lunch from start to finish. Pretzel bread to start. Excellent service. Great range of dishes from traditional German to an option or two for vegetarians.
Della ZNovember 18, 2012Awesome Sunday brunch with strawberry champagne. Great spread of an unlimited buffet with German fare, omelet station, waffles, dessert, etc. Good service and very authentic!
Ed MartinMay 26, 2017Virtually verything. Try sampler platter. 3rd generation family owned. Famous people including 4 US Presidents, actors, actresses, singers have eaten there. The most famous German restaurant in USA.- Andrew FAugust 28, 2017A favorite of celebrities ranging from Carrie Underwood and Katy Perry to 1980's pro wrestler Baron Von Raschke (??)
Watched a great show about Milwaukee bars, turns out they follow the manager of the bar (Mary), over the amazing staff that keeps the place afloat. Too bad they dont follow up with hidden cameras.
