Customer Reviews
This place was great. I got the schnitzel, husband got the goulash, and kids got a burger and macaroni and cheese. We started with some pretzels and vegetable strudel, and ended with Apple strudel. All in all, excellent meal. Fresh and full of flavor. They had these excellent fresh baked rolls come between courses also. It was a warm and cozy atmosphere and the staff was lovely. Wonderful night, will be back.
The staff was extremely friendly and told us about the history of the restaurant. The starter bread with the marmalade was amazing, we wish we could have bought a jar to bring home. We got the duck and burger which were both cooked perfectly. I just wish we lived closer so that we could go more frequently.
The overall experience was pretty good. The staff was very nice, the ambience was nice. Very quiet, good for date night. That being said, they have room for improvement. Here is our experience: We were greeted right away, had a reservation, but the restaurant was less than half full. Ordered a wine and appetizer. The shrimp cocktail was $14. That's not unexpected, but when it arrived with literally 3 shrimp, we were thoroughly underwhelmed. Ordered our entree's that came with bread and a salad according to menu description. The bread and butter was fine. The salads never arrived. Next thing we know our entree's were dropped off. We ordered the salmon and the Veal. The Veal plate was huge. Two filets, side spaetzel and carrot salad. That plate was reasonably priced at $30. Howeve
My wife and I went to The Countryman's Pleasure for a couple of reasons. It was my birthday and as we had lived in Germany (Bavaria), it was a trip down memory lane. We had an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms, Sauerbraten for an entree and for desert, Linzer Torte for my wife and Strudel for me. Words cannot describe how delicious that meal was. It was absolutely great and the service was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly and very knowledgeable. If I have anything negative to say it would concern the restaurant's website. It REALLY needs to be worked on. It is not well organized. Much of the text is a dark gray on a brown background making it very difficult to read. There is a feature that allows one to make reservations, but for a date only. There's no way to enter a time. The websi
Love this place! My family has been coming for 20 years and even after a change in ownership it is still great. There is such a cozy and authentic German atmosphere and the service is great. Not to mention everything we ordered was delicious and authentic!
