Description
As one of the oldest family-run German restaurants in the country, this spot remains a relic of Yorkville's history as a bustling Germantown. Inside, wooden planks and vintage wall art create the feel of an old-world tavern. The kitchen sticks to traditional recipes, starting with sausage platters before moving to Wiener Schnitzel and crispy potato pancakes. For groups, the notable pork shank is sized for two to three people, served tender on the inside with a crackling exterior.
