If you are looking for an authentic Austrian restaurant with am great beer list, look no further. It's like dining in an Austrian gasthaus except everyone speaks English. The portions are huge and the large bread service is worh paying for.

Our first time here to celebrate a birthday. 5 diners. Our waiter was super helpful and friendly, explaining the various drinks on the menu and then the meal choices. The food was fantastic - so much food that we all took home half our meal to enjoy later. I had the sauerbraten and it was velvety moist cabbage, not too sweet, with beef that simply melted in your mouth, it was so tender. My hubby had the schnitzel and the waiter assured him that he could cut it with a fork - and he was right! It was that tender and flavorful. We had a round of specialty cocktails and then tried some of the draft German brews - all wonderful. We had our small granddaughter with us and, although they don't offer a kid's menu, the waiter was quick to suggest she try their spaetzle which she devoured. We topped it off with apple and cheese streudel as well as the trio sorbet and some coffee and it was perfect. The restaurant was busy on a Saturday night, but, wait staff were keeping up with all the table request and cheerfully making the rounds. One of the best meals I've had in Kansas City and highly recommend it - the old freight house ambiance is charming and inviting, and everyone was working diligently to be sure we had a top-notch experience from start to finish.

Went for an early Mother’s Day dinner. Had reservations but still had to wait 10 min for a table. Server could have cared less if we were there or not. Took the order and disappeared. Didn’t check on us at all. Someone else delivered the meals and she showed up after to give us the bill. The food was Luke warm to almost cold. Will not be going back

We came for an Austrian/German dining experience and found that, but was more of a fine dining experience. (This is not a negative note, just didn’t realize it was going to be at first.) Our only negative mark is that we didn’t get our drinks we ordered until after we had been served our meals. Everything else was great! Or meal was fantastic and the cheese strudel for desert was to die for!

Food was good, really happy to find a German place in KC. We had the schnitzel and spatzel and would say they were very good, but not as good as the stuff we’ve had in Germany. Overall very good and we already booked another weekend while we were there.

The waiter, I think Joshua, was awesome! The food was amazing! The FRITTATENSUPPE soup was incredible! The basket of fresh made rolls were so good. One had in it what tasted like cranberries but the waiter said it was black currant. I wanted more! The appetizer Wammerl was amazingly! The Hungarian goulash was a little spicy like it said but so good. Then lastly the dessert Topfenstrudel, cheese strudel, was great! We also had the coffee and hot chocolate which were a little bitter, not sweet. But we’re very good. The food was incredible from start to finish along with the service! We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

Party of seven of us went before theater at Music Hall, and advised on reservation and to server that we needed our checks by certain time so we could drive, park, and get to seats…. Wonderful, tasty food and it came out fast! Sat outside on the patio and only had one train passing with horns… fifteen minutes before we had to leave, we requested checks, then requested twice again. It was a lovely meal but we were stressed and pushed for time, even though we had planned amply in advance.

We all thought our food was great except for the red cabbage that I ordered. I passed it around the table for all to try and all agreed it was nasty. Cinnamon must have been dumped in--not tasty at all! Our other dishes (schnitzel) were great.
