Nils BuurmanApril 17, 2014As an Exchange Student from German I can fully approve the quality of this restaurant 😉 The Schnitzel, Potato Pancakes, Roulade and Bratwurst are very good and like at home!
ZekeDecember 5, 2016on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 7-9pm, Silvia plays German tunes on the accordion for guests. She's absolutely adorable and so fun.
Behrad EatsJanuary 20, 2016The delicious and massive Fried Pig Knuckle on top of sauerkraut and potatoes is a must order item but it's only available during Oktoberfest.
i'm from western europe and i tell you: food is awersome here! autentic german food. And black forest torte is just to die for!!!
AndrewMay 17, 2016Great restaurant hidden behind the bar - behind the convenience store! Try the sausage platter.
In addition to the restaurant in back, there is a pretty substantial German grocery portion in the front, complete with toiletries, deli items, and ice cream.
Mira W.November 5, 2012Great service! I love being called "dear" by a lady I don't know. I recommend the Austrian potato salad, potato pancakes, red cabbage, kaese spaetzli and venison sausage.
Stephanie CAugust 28, 2012Place is AMAZING. Real European food, a bakery w Sachet torte, nut and apple strudels, a grocery, a cosmetics counter, a bar w live music . . . And good food. Nice.
An amazing place to get European groceries or dine in a bar with genuine German beer and cuisine!
It's got it all! Bakery, deli, bar, cafe, great food and if you are lucky, live music!
InternsROCK!June 3, 2013Interning in D.C.? Grab a key tag from The Washington Center and buy one entree and get the second one free during InternsROCK! June 7 - 16th 2013. internsrockdc.com #InternsROCK
William la BlindFebruary 1, 2013Quirky. Old school DC lunch place mashed up with German restaurant/grocery store. Worth stopping by. The German food is very good.
Kurt HaaMarch 13, 2016Here is a pub/restaurant/shop for German/Austrian food lovers. Very simple, very traditional and very cozy
Joonseok OhMarch 1, 2013Get the Vienna Schnitzel with sautéd potatoes and red cabbage with a glass of wheat beer. Worth every penny.
Beer? That's nice. Beer is everywhere in the city. But schnitzel, goulash, and spaetzli? Its the kaiser's own food, the Holy Roman Empire right here in downtown D.C.
The bar and restaurant is past the grocery in the front. Have a few liters and buy some delicious mustard or other German treat on the way out.
The FeastJune 10, 2011Hoagies are an Italian-American invention, but the 'German Cold Cut Hoagie' here is worth a try. This version piles German luncheon meat and Swiss cheese high on a soft roll.
Matt SilvermanDecember 3, 2014Really good bratwursts and potato pancakes. Try the German potato salad.
Samantha Jo WarfieldNovember 18, 2011Got questions? Ask the shopkeeper/owner. She's not only adorable, but full of knowledge, spunk, and great stories!
Dan HenningJune 17, 2013Food is great, accordion player gets old and loud after a while. Could do without her for a more pleasant meal.- InternsROCK!May 23, 2011If you're interning in D.C., grab your wristband from The Washington Center and get 30% off during InternsROCK! June 10-19! Details:
AdamJuly 30, 2013Do *not* get the "vegetable patty platter"! The vegetable patty is a regular old commercial veggie burger, heated up and served plain with no sauce or anything (and not even one of the better brands).
R.J. KonkoleskiNovember 11, 2011The german potato soup is just like grandma used to make. With bacon! Tschusse.
Ashley ConwayMay 31, 2010Gather friends for a round (or 3) of German Steins. Make sure you can handle the hangover the next day!
- They play the 1812 Overture and have a woman that yodels while playing an accordion. Seriously, what other reason do you need to eat here?
Emma KellyMarch 25, 2010Awesome deli food here and a great selection of german baked goods and candy.
