Great restaurant and market. We have come here for as long as I remember and the food selection has always been exceptional. The restaurant is cheap for what they serve, with New York steak with 2 sides and a soup only costing 15$. You should stop by if you are around Legoland. (Steak'n'Stein pictured)

Our family loves this restaurant. Went in this morning for an early Father's day breakfast. They work hard here and we appreciate it. They are short staff right now so please be patient the food is worth it. Thank you to everyone here who works hard 7 days a week.

Great place for great food and shopping! They have an extensive meat selection, as well as lots of German groceries and even some Indonesian. They even carry fresh Fleischsalat in the fridge! Prices are very fair considering import fees, etc. They also have excellent sausage selection. We ate first, then shopped. When you walk through the shop toward the back you can order food at the counter and then bring it to your table (menu is online if you want to look ahead of time). I got the Rouladen - comes with 2 sides, plus soup or salad and dinner roll. Big portion and absolutely delicious. I got mine with German potato salad and half-and-half Sauerkraut/Red Cabbage. Plenty of food, so come hungry! Salad is fresh & crunchy. Soups change daily. When we were there they had Oxtail and Potato soup. You can taste they are homemade - both excellent. Staff were all very nice and very friendly. We felt welcomed and appreciated. Will definitely be back!!!

Hidden gem if you're looking for some German goodies. Try their dinner meals! Super generous portions that come with two sides and salad or soup and a dinner roll. Draft beer is $4. In total I spent $15 for an awesome meal! Also found the ingredients for Berliner Weiße!

The seafood shop next door shut down; the main store may have some European specialties, probably boxed, and very, very little. I've always thought it odd that it's hard to find good seafood in a County on the ocean!
