“ ????????Had dinner here with some friends and everything was surprisingly good. The pork knuckle was super crispy and the meat just fell off the bone. The ramp steak was cooked just right and the portion sizes were generous. What I really liked was the apple strudel – warm, flaky, and not too sweet, with ice cream on the side. It was the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, a great spot for a casual catch-up with good food and drinks. Would come back again. ”
“ I had the pleasure of trying these cinnamon sugar pretzels and they were absolutely delightful! Soft, warm, and perfectly coated in cinnamon sugar, they struck a great balance between chewy and fluffy. The dips were a highlight rich, velvety chocolate and a ice cream that paired wonderfully with the pretzel. The presentation was also lovely, served on newspaper-style paper with a charming rustic touch. A comforting and fun dessert perfect for sharing or indulging solo. Highly recommended if you’re craving something sweet and satisfying! ”
“ During our roadtrip we found this german style restaurant on our way through Mackay. As German of course I wanted to try this place and show my Australian friend some authentic food. The brezel with Obazda and the Löwenbräu were excellent and felt like home. The Lunch Menu with the Schnitzel was ok, but didnt feel really authentic to me. The panada was very crispy and the meat quite dry. But I would definitely come back again and try the other dishes! Interior was really nice! ”
