First visit to Best of the Wurst German Kitchen, a hidden gem at 625 Harrison St. in Riverside, behind Lightning Jack's Marina, on the Rancocas Creek. Gorgeous waterside views on an absolutely beautiful night, highlighted by some spectacular food.
For appetizers, we requested they go extra, extra spicy on an order of mussels, and the heat level was intense. Didn't count the shells, but there must have been 3 dozen mussels, with sliced kielbasa, a rich, savory tomato-based broth, and a delicious loaf of bread. Loaded potato pancakes are extra crisp, and covered with sour cream, bacon, red onion, and Gruyere cheese, with a side of apple sauce.
For dinner, we had their Polish Cheesesteak, which is ground kielbasa, and served with their haus-made cheese sauce on a long roll. Indescribably good. Served with fries that were very crisp without having to ask for them being well-done.
Their B.O.T.W. Roast Beef is sliced sauerbraten, with Fontina cheese melted over it, and covered in ginger snap gravy, and it's possibly the best sauerbraten I have ever eaten. The sauce is outstanding, and I wish that I had a gallon of it, right now.
