    The beer Hofbrau Dunkel was cold and refreshing. The schweineshcnitzle and Spatzle was fantastic. Reminded me of when I was in Germany in 1980. Great place and atmosphere. Will be back.

    Went in for fish Friday. Food and service were top notch. But there was a party going on in the back of the restaurant that was super loud. Got us thinking that the arched architecture may have amplified it. Would definitely go back for the food drink and prompt service. Very historical building.

    We started with the Giant Pretzel...and we all said best pretzel we have ever had. Six of us with six different sandwiches and liked them all. Think our top vote would go to the walleye sandwich!

    Awesome experience. We had reservations for 5:45 on a Friday and they were ready for us. We parked in the lot adjacent to the restaurant and were having a dinner before a Disney on Ice show with our 4 year old Daughter. Honestly for a bar/restaurant on the Friday before St. patty’s day they were family friendly and provided great service. The waitress gave great food and they didn’t seem rushed at all. We will go back soon!
