    The giant soft pretzel served with mustard is really good, especially with beer cheese. It really is giant, though, so plan on sharing--half a pretzel is big enough to be a whole meal or 2 by itself!

    German beer is always great. Service was a bit inattentive at the bar, but I hear that's not common. Burger was great. Pork belly Ruben is a great idea, but over-smoked.

    Pair the Weihenstephaner Vitus, a complex and fruity wheat beer, with the butter-brushed pretzel and its accompanying obatzda, a crock of silky beer cheese: Read more

    The giant pretzel was delicious, the staff pick wheat beer was fantastic the beer cheese soup was tasty. My salad, however, was very disappointing, as the figs were cooked to charcoal. Skip the salad.

    The potato pierogies are a delectable appetizer. The portion is probably only enough for two people. They glisten in photographs.

    The Steeler fans rent the place half of it on Sundays. They have nothing to do with Germany so beware if your looking for an authentic place try a different day!

    So many great food options with plenty of German beer to pair with it. You'll leave here full because you just can't stop.

    Beer was great, food was great, currywurst was VERY disappointing though (beware! Served with NO sauce!).

    Nice selection of German beers, the decor reminds me of a smaller haufbrau house.

    Good service. Nice beer selection. Burger was good but extremely overcooked. Brisket sandwich had too much sauce and the smoked flavor was overpowering.

    Nice atmosphere, but most beers on tap are literally twice the price of the other german bars in the city
