After just seeing this place featured on Diners Drive ins
and dives, I wanted to try it out especially for the krautburgers which are
something I’ve always enjoyed. I was
assuming this place would have cheap prices and be way too much food to eat, but
I was wrong on both.
We arrived close to 5 o’clock; the place seemed kind of
empty. The hostess said it would be a
5-7 minutes to get a table ready. I’m not so sure why, but we waited for a few
minutes. When there was a table ready we
were seated. All three of us ordered
iced tea. When I opened the menu, I
realized the prices weren’t so cheap and I also couldn’t find the items from
DDD. So we asked about it, the waiter
said didn’t you get and insert in the menu.
He said there was a new girl up front and maybe she didn’t put it in, so
he went and got them. After reading the
insert dad and I both got the krautburger dinner ($20). Which came with a salad
or soup and fried calamari or a dessert, we both got salads and went with the
dessert. Mom after reading the regular
menu got the jaeger schnitzel ($21) this came with Spätzle and red cabbage as well as a
salad. After seeing the prices and
reading reviews saying they have big portions, I was thinking the portions must
be huge.
I thought the salad was not exactly fresh and had seen
better days; the homemade ranch dressing was really good and was thick. Our waiter told us about it being homemade as
well as telling us about everything that was homemade, it’s good to know things
are homemade but I kind of got tired of hearing this after a while.
The bread was great and homemade and had real
butter with it.
My krautburger was good, but was hard on the outside and too
cooked. I thought the meat and cabbage
mixture was very good, but I thought it could have used more of it and less
bread. The honey mustard dipping sauce
was really good to go with it also homemade.
I never thought about honey mustard with krautburgers but it was very
good. I also didn’t know I needed such a
heavy duty knife for a krautburger. Mom
enjoyed her meal very much and I approved of it. Once we were all done the waiter came and
gave us our dessert choices.
I chose the
palisade peach dessert which I don’t recall the exact name of. This was very good and fairly simple just a
pastry shell topped with a whipped cream with fresh fruit on top. I wish it was
larger because it was really good.
Dad
had a mocha brownie ice cream dessert which he enjoyed very much.
This place turned out completely different than I expected
not exactly cheap prices and not really huge portions. Also it seemed like they were trying to be fancier
than I thought it would be. I didn’t
think my meal was great, good but not great. That was until the dessert came,
which was great.
