Das Alpenhaus Delikatessen LLC

It is seldom that an experience outdoes the anticipation, especially when the length of time to the experience is significant, but in this case Das Alpenhaus did not disappoint!! I had bratwurst on a stocky, crunchy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside roll, with just the right amount of brownish mustard and house made, warmed sauerkraut. The bratwurst was amazing!! None of the flavors in it were too much.
It had some seasoning to it but also some sweetness, and the sauerkraut...amazing. It has taken me YEARS to finally stop in, but now that I have I can't wait to go back to try their Ruben as we as their Hot Pastrami sandwich and will keep going from there. There are nice little tables inside, as well as on the porch, and some bigger picnic type tables inside with cool wooden chairs very typical of a traditional German pub, or whatever the word would be.
There are also a number of other traditional deserts and breads and such in the shop. The people working there are friendly and warm and obviously there to ensure you enjoy your visit. Very glad I finally made the time and my stomach is extremely satisfied with the result!! Prost

I’ve been wanting to try this German Deli out for a long time and boy am I glad I did.
Super cool place to grab a beer from the homeland and the Wienerschnitzel sandwich was to die for.
Beyond amazing! I ate it so fast I didn’t even get a picture of it! Huge sandwich and I recommend doing the cordon blue edition.
Definitely going back to try more things.

VERDICT: I highly recommend this place for a good beer off the tap and a schnitzel sandwich. FOOD: The schnitzel sandwich was absolutely delectable.
The pretzel buns had excellent sponge and crumb, with perfect density.
This prevents the bread from washing out the flavor of the sandwich itself.
The mustard cuts through the strata of cucumber, lettuce, onions, and tomatoes.
These work to frame the egg-washed pork brightly, keeping the sandwich from being heavy.
This pairs well with Weissbier on tap (and their tap menu selection is excellent).
Together, they for a fulfilling meal without a post meal nap required.
(Also photographed is the Bratwurst on a Brötchen, but I did not eat or taste it, so my review does not factor it into the rating.
My dad who lived in Frankfurt, Germany said it's pretty authentic with the bratwurst containing a slightly higher cereal content than US bratwurst.
He enjoyed it thoroughly.) As for the pretzel, it had a density higher than that of a Bavarian pretzels around town, with less stretch in the bread before tear, but more of a dense sponge.
Flavor and skin were enjoyable, and their coarse ground mustard proved an excellent addition. SERVICE: Good service overall, when you take into consideration how nearly all of it is made fresh.
From order-to-food was about 20 minutes, but the quality of the food itself is exceptional.
It can take a little time to get your food, so factor a little extra time if you were expecting more deli-speed service. ATMOSPHERE: Feels like a small corner shop.
I enjoyed the heavy wood furniture and decor akin to what I'd expect a German deli to look like: flags, dark wood motif, with brighter lighting, glass table with pictures beneath.
I'd say they leaned into the motif, but wisely avoided certain stereotypes and less desirable notes such as music (at least that I noticed) or lederhosen...
