"The once-common German restaurants of Yorkville, Glendale, Staten Island, and eastern Queens are now few and far between in New York City. This well-decorated spot fielded by Fred and Amber Urban is one of the best remaining, a barroom with a magnificent beer selection, and roster of Teutonic dishes that offers quality and volume, but little in the way of surprises. There are wursts and schnitzels galore, plus one of those gigantic hot pretzels." - Robert Sietsema
