The other reviews are spot on. I was craving some no nonsense, straight to the point good eatin’. Meat and potatoes. Germans do that pretty well.
Our usual haunts are Old Heidelberg or Checkers Old Munchen with their trusty German fare and excellent decor. Last night, the food Gods nudged us towards this joint.
While we were pulling up into the plaza we were slightly disappointed and upon entering the restaurant, we were slightly skeptical and began doubting some of the good reviews we read because it’s not much by way of a restaurant setting. It’s a few tables thrown together in a rather bland, minimally decorated room but boy, we were in for a surprise.
The chef and the hostess both are extremely pleasant and friendly. We were personally greeted by both, albeit because it was slow on a Sunday evening.
Ordered the Bitburger - excellent as always.
Apps:
1. The goulash soup was a show stopper. It was an amazing precursor to good things to come.
2. 2 sausage platter - terrific!
3. Potato pancakes - on point.
4. Bread plate - excellent.
The roast pork, sausage and schnitzel main course. Absolutely outstanding.
The sauerkraut and red cabbage - some of the best I’ve had.
The Apple strudel and the drunken cherry with ice cream was above and beyond and sealed the deal completely.
The key take away points were this - the food - each and every dish tasted like home cooking. Authentic, absolutely fresh and very very tasty. Sorry old Heidelberg and checkers - this is the new bar to beat.
I don’t say this too often but thank you chef! You truly put your heart and soul into the food and I could taste it in every bite.

What a great find! Don't judge this place by it's no-frills interior and hole-in-the-wall location. Chef Rene in the kitchen is preparing some seriously good eats. Classic German-Austrian Cuisine was exactly what I was expecting. Fresh baked bread was complimentary and delicious. Comes with their house whipped butter, which has an interesting flavor profile to it, with some cheese and spices blended in. I started with the Escargots, served in a hot crock with plentiful minced garlic and a butter-stock broth. Would have been even better with some crostinis, but another slice of the fresh bread was sufficient. The escargot was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Ice cold Acqua Panna mineral spring water from Italy (my favorite) was a perfect palate cleanser before the main dish arrived. RUN don't walk to try Rene's Schnitzel!! Pounded in house, hand battered and breaded, and lightly fried to perfection - this was the fluffiest and most moist schnitzel I have ever had! I went with the Schnitzel Holstein, sans gravy, served with a fried egg on top. Personally, I would have enjoyed two eggs, and maybe even gravy on the side, but I'll ask for that next time. Frankly, I could have downed two of these bad boys, as the portion size is relatively modest (not small, but definitely not large), but I was thoroughly satisfied. The waiter suggested that I try the Apple Strudel, and I obliged. The strudel was a disappointing finish to an otherwise good meal. Limp pastry, skimpy apples, served with a spray of canned whipped cream, and a drizzle of flavor-contradicting Hershey's chocolate syrup. Next time I'll go without and simply savor the flavor of the Schnitzel instead. All in all, a great West side spot for excellent Schnitzel, and this foodie will certainly be back!
Had a wonderful meal served to us by Stephan. Our party of four had the pork schnitzel, sauerbraten, wienerschnitzel, and Jaeger schnitzel. All of the food was wonderful. The sauerbraten was some of the best I have had. The spaetzle and red cabbage were phenomenal. Very flavorful cooked perfection. Don't let the small size fool you. This is good food at a reasonable price. Thank.
This is the best German cuisine in South Florida.
We had the pork schnitzel which was the best I've had in the world. I've been to Germany 🇩🇪 and Austria 🇦🇹 and don't remember having food this good.
Everything is made from scratch. Rene came out at the end of our meal and greeted us. He's a great chef and this was a surprising find for us.
It is a small dining room, maybe only 4 or 5 tables, so you should call ahead for a reservation. They're spread out for the pandemic.
I wish they had draft beer choices, as a half liter pour would be perfect to pair with dinner, but the bottle selection is pretty good, especially if you like Hefeweizens. I can't speak for the wine.
Absolutely in love! Chef stayed open for us on a Monday afternoon. Rene's was my father's birthday dinner wish and it was an outstanding choice. Nothing we ordered was less than perfect. From the schnitzel and goulash to the homemade desserts (that we devoured so fast I forgot a picture lol) Rene is an amazing chef, baker and server. If you are even thinking about going, say yes. You will be so happy you did.
Thank you again for a memorable experience. We will be back asap!
Mein Gott, dieses essen war köstlich! Was feeling a little German tonight so I decided to stop by Rene's and give him a try. Wow, wow, wow....the food and the service was excellent! It was like going home to grandma's house for a home cooked meal. If you're ever in the mood for some delicious German food then a visit to Rene's is a must!
Awesome schnitzels. Great service. After skipping this place for the last couple of years i discovered it's under new ownership and gave it another chance. What a difference. Had the pork chop schnitzel and Viennerschnitzel, both tender and delicious, and those home potatoes were definitely something I've got to try. My new favorite spot for German and Central European food! Saved the apple strudel for the next visit! Thank you Chef René, it was a pleasure.
Goulash, Weiner schnitzel, sausages (some in house made), and apple strudel were all excellent. Schnitzel was tender to the point that we couldn't believe how tender it was. Couldn't wait to taste which is why pictures are of 1 bite into each course. Awesome food and service. Well done.
One of the best places to eat German food. Rene was so nice and authentic which reflects his food. Stephan who served us was also hospitable. Perfect place to just relax and enjoy amazing food. Worth the flight!
We ate our Thanksgiving meal here today and it was one of the Best meals we ever had. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and absolutely all American traditional meal. We were VERY pleased. I recommend you try this place.
