Fun to do Das Boot ! Great German classics. This place is always busy so expect a wait to sit outside at peak times.

Patricia Wright

Awesome food, great entertainment and the service was wonderful. Went there with a group from the German/American Club in Legacy and it was perfect! My 3rd visit there and not disappointed once......

Krissy Bermudez

Love this place. Try the schnitzel Hollander art , the white asparagus really makes it great. There's live music if you go on the weekend, but try to get a reservation , place fills up fast!

Ken Gross

Hands down the most authentic German restaurant . Ranks #1 in all my favorite German across the U.S. Don't forget the butcher shop around the corner called Magnolia market . yum.

James Supinski

One of the best German restaurants you will ever have the chance to visit. Great food, great atmosphere and great times to be had.

Clark Winslett

Absolutely love the Holländer Schnitzel Art and the potato cakes and the Bee Sting cake and basically everything. Do yourself a favor and just eat here.

VP Miller

They have little accordians for the kiddos, and make a mean Shirley Temple . Ease kids into German cuisine by asking for Leiberkase (mixed meats loaf , fried, delicious!) with potato pancakes ... prima!

Angela Urbina

As a German this is as close as it gets to real authentic German food . Some items could be added to the menu, such as Schweinebraten, and Rehbraten, wildschweinbraten, leberknödel

Theo Hollerbach

Try the Corned Beef And Cabbage With Red Potatoes And Dijon Egg Sauce - A 10 year tradition of turning whole steamship rounds into the most tender lean flavorful corn beef

Sean Norton

Upset that one man can't have a boot! Besides that food was filling and the beers were delicious. Pricing was high. Maybe make it a special occasion night.

Gary Barrett Jr

If you leave hungry it is your own fault. Best German food around. Have not experienced anything from the menu that I did not like. Dine on an entertainment night for a real gasthaus experience.

Mike D

German food should be served in moderation - not sure if that's helpful when choosing between the strudel and the bratwurst - true story

Alexander Kolozvary Jr

Watch beerfest movie and then stop by for a "DAS BOOOTTttt!" The food here is great. Stop by the market next door afterward for the chocolate cake balls.

Shawna Beleckis

Authentic German food at its best. I'm partial to any kind of wurst !

Nicki Dion

Gr8 German restaurant had knockwurst potato pancakes and sweet red cabbage awesome and a pilsner would go back even tho it's 60 miles lol

Genevieve McGinness

Beer selection is awesome. The Pretzel was ginormous and cheese dip was great!!

Frank Caramanica

Best German food in the area. Newspaper sized menu with excellent options. Plus friendly professional service .

Sally Word

Anyone who thinks this is authentic or tasty has never had real or truly good German food . The only "good" thing here is the beer & the band.

Eliseo Gomez

Eisbein is a must order if you love pork , this dish just melts in your mouth & full of flavor.

Susan Clary

Fiery owner who yelled at our Dachshund meet-up group even though we made reservations . Aside from that, try the Schnitzel w/ fried egg , anchovies and capers it was awesome!

Mark Lane

Schnitzel is great

John Bryan Iadeluca

Don't forget dessert ! Apple Strudel , Black Forrest Cake , Chocolate Cheesecake , etc ... It's Fat Kid Happy Time sitting in the glass case!

CVO Rider

Best German food I’ve had since leaving Germany. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

The food is the closest thing to my Oma's home-cooked German meals and the atmosphere is authentic . I highly recommend!

Susan Holland

My favorite place in central Florida! I am in love with the entire menu!

Moe Betta

Everything is good. So worth it if you want a real taste of Germany. Gemütlichkeit

Best German band I have ever heard. Anyone who can play cow bells, the saw and a turkey baster (yea) has my respect!!!

Kryphos Drgn

Everything is good. But the gourmet potato pancakes are probably the best.

Randy Sisto

Beer , schnitzel , spaetzel , wurst and great service.

On a stormy wet night in Sanford this place is still packed with people enjoying the excellent German food , beer , & live music .

Michele App

Best beer selection around. One of my top 5 places to go. Really love it here.

While the service was extremely slow...the food was incredible and the atmosphere was excellent plus a huge selection of German beers . What more can you ask for???

Will Hendrickes

Get the potato pancakes ????????

Jennie

In the name of all that is holy... The chocolate pie is simply orgasmic. If you pass this up then you are beyond mental.

Jon Weigand

Saurbraten was excellent and entertainment was a hoot!!

Marvin Corea

The Rubinstein was good, but a bit small. Desserts are delicious!

Greg Schulz

The sauerbraten was excellent. Their iced tea was good if you like unsweetened.

I had the schnitzel with mushrooms gravy , red cabbage with spaetzel .

Music , food, everything, real german ambiance..
