    It's hard to say no to beer and soft pretzels. They do a out of live music.

    We ordered a berhoff burger and a wiener schnitzel. While the burger was ok, the schnitzle was probably fried in the same oil they use to fry fish: It had a taste of fried squid.

    chipotle chicken sandwich is the best and probably the cheapest sandwich they have. Also the only sandwich that comes with a side of chips!

    The bratwust could use quite a bit more flavor, but luckily there was spicy brown mustard to save it. Chips are good though
