Eat Like a German (sort of)

Our backyard food station turns into a mini-Bavaria with a variety of tasty options to satisfy any palate. Enjoy bratwurst sandwiches, pretzels, German potato salad, braised red cabbage, and waffles from our backyard food station. Or grab a bite from our inside menu, which will be a trimmed-down version of our regular options.

Prost to full bellies and happy taste buds.
