If you like loud music and dancing you'll love this place. The food is fantastic and all of the employees understand the meaning of friendliness and customer service.
Ten out of ten to them. Men's room definitely needs attention and disinfectant.
I'm pretty sure the fixtures and paint are the original ones installed.

Absolutely one of the hidden gems of Detroit. We came on a Friday night after hearing great things about this place.
We have been to Germany before so we knew what to expect going in. The staff were super friendly and the waitresses had great looking dirndls.
Everyone was really fun and friendly and helpful with the menu.
They lead everyone in many sing alongs and play live music, many guests tend to sing along. The food was authentic and really great.
I've had schnitzel in Germany and this was made exactly how it would be in Germany.
Also you can get it with a mushroom gravy which I never saw in Germany so this place officially makes it better. The beers were good and they had barenjager shots as well so it was grand. They have their own fenced in private parking. The atmosphere is very Bavarian and tons of fun.
We cant wait to come back, this is easily one of the best restaurants in Detroit. Highly recommended.

Quite an experience.
The food was very good but could have been a little bit warmer.
Granted, they were extremely busy.
The service was excellent.
Alice did a wonderful job.
My only real complaint would be that the noise level was unbearable at certain points.
It eventually subsided, and normal conversation resumed.
I realize that is the nature of such an establishment.
