Best Of The Wurst Reviews

German food was excellent!! The downfall was their service Ordered oysters, only to find out when the meal came out, there were no oysters left!! Mussels were then ordered, very spicy tomato sauce !! One waiter trying to do it all, and he said it was only his third day there...can only get better!!

Fantastic food and the outside deck is awesome being on the creek. The waitress Vicki is super friendly and Chef Wilhelm cooks up some awesome food.

Excellent food. Never had a bad meal, here. The service was exceptional. Our server, Theresa, was the best I've had this year, bar none. This girl is on top of things with a personality that will stay with you for days. The ambiance is lacking in the colder weather, but once it warms up and the deck opens up, get a table down by the water and enjoy.

I went to their website, and I'm expecting the restaurant to be austere, formal, dark... Decorated with a lot of wood and beer steins. Probably in a converted 1900s house with green trim. So I was completely surprised when the GPS took us through a compact, residential area and abruptly announced a turn onto a small gravel road leading to a marina. Right on the water is a two story building right out of the movies (a more worn version of Dukes bar from "Haven"), and inside were greeted by an alligator assuring us this is a German restaurant. I saw absolutely none of this coming. The interior doesn't seem to have AC, but luckily they have beautiful seating on the back deck. It's a gorgeous view of the water looking at a hiking trail on the other side. There are Christmas lights overhead, with flowers wrapped around the deck railing. One happy group was engaged in a karaoke performance. I apparently know nothing of Germans and austerity. The menu was smaller than what was online, but they had specials as well. The Dusseldorf Chop was delicious - the eggs were well cooked, as was the pork. The spaetzle was just fun to eat. For the uniqueness of the site and the amazingness of the food (not to mention the great name), there's no way not to give this place five stars!
