If you enjoy German cuisine and a wide variety of beers on tap, this restaurant offers a lively atmosphere with great food and live polka music on Fridays. The service is generally good, and the staff dressed in traditional German attire adds to the authentic experience. While the building could use some updating and a deep cleaning, the hearty portions and fun vibe make it worth visiting, especially for groups looking to share a boot of beer and enjoy a festive night out.

This German restaurant is a great spot for those who enjoy traditional Bavarian cuisine and a wide selection of beers. The live polka bands on Fridays add a fun touch to the atmosphere, making it a lively place to visit. While the service and food were good, the restaurant could use some updating to enhance the overall experience.
