I was first taken when I moved here 18 years ago. I have gone back every year since for my birthday or special occasions. More notably for Valentines day with my boyfriend the last 4 years. With having a German Mother and Oma and living in Germany for many years. I can not say enough about how REAL and good the food is. My Mother and Oma would be proud. It does get a little rowdy sometimes, but it is so worth it. But they do need to bring back the Liverball soup!

Food was good. Music loud but fun. After dinner we went down stairs for the polka band music. We had a party of three couples, all of us clost to our 60es. A twenty something year old girl came to our table pulling on the arms of the husbands looking for a dance partner. When the husbands refused her, she started in on the women. Most of us did not appreciate this. She hardly took no for an answer. All the time this was going on, four twenty something year old men are out on the dance floor dancing with each other. I had to ask my own daughters if this was a new thing going on, girls asking married men to dance in front of there wife's. Both said no way.

We went here with a large group of people for a birthday party and had a blast, it was everyones first time here. If you are looking for a quiet romantic dinner this is not the place!!! There is an accordian player and a singer that goes around the dining rooms playing your favorite polka music with many of the patrons joining by either singing, swinging their mugs (or should I say tubs) of beer, or pounding on the table to the beat of the music. You can get "da boot" of beer and you keep passing it around your table until it is gone. Then the waitress had a snuff board (never seen this before) and I was that a blast, that cleans your nostrils out! The food we got was awesome however a bit pricey for the amount you got, but I understand they have a lot of overhead to cover with all the entertainment etc. I am not sure but I think there was beer wagon or trolley set up in the parking lot when we arrived, so I think you can start drinking before you even get in the building! We didn't check out the bar downstairs but from what I hear it is even crazier than the dining room, will be sure to be back to check that out sometime and also to have dinner again. If you have a group of people and want a loud, festive, fun, intertactive dining experience, this is the place to go!!!
