Renate's German - Hanover Park

When I walked in, the smell made me immediately think of a Kneipe in Germany. I liked that because I hadn’t smelled that smell in a long time. Now to the food! The food was ok. I know it’s difficult to recreate good tasting German food but much of the sauces we had there were just not very good. The Gulasch was just meat and a very light sauce that seemed to be bound with too much corn starch. The Jagerschnitzel also had some strange weak tasting sauce on it. I expected it brown and with lots of good spices. The Leberknödel soup was salty and had just a bunch of broken up liver dumpling pieces. The only thing that was ok were the Ruladen and the Sample Plate. Obviously, I can’t say much about anything else since I didn’t try them but would like to go back for a few dishes I saw on the Menü. I was really excited to go there but am not sure if that’s going to be my go to German spot in the future. When I think of schnitzel and sauce, I’m thinking flavorful and rich taste. Maybe the owner needs to sit down and reevaluate the food she is serving. I really want to have people leave there smiling because the food was delicious and maybe I just ordered the wrong thing!

Excellent German food at very reasonable prices. Family owned and operated. Price per person: $20–30 Recommended dishes: Pork Schnitzel

Hidden gem. Stopped here for breakfast, had Mikes sausage skillet and apple pancakes. Great flavor with both of these items. Coffee was a 5 star flavor. The owners greeted us at front door, love the fact it is a family operated business. Mike the owner mentioned that they are serving food in several local Octoberfest events. Look for them or stop in, you won't be disappointed. Food: 5
