East Side Restaurant

This is a place you go when you want to get out of the norm. Walking in you are completed transported to Germany. From the Decor to the music and the entire staff is dressed the part.

I went in with my dad and brother and sisters to get a feel of what the place after driving by the billboard so many times.

Service was decent- our server was very very VERYYYY helpful with the million questions we had for the menu. It took us some time to all come up with what we thought we would be able to eat. It honestly was difficult . Myself never eating German food. But to he honest it was good.

The warm pretzel was awesome!! So good and you could deferentially tell it was made fresh!

TIcky Tocky Ticky Tocky OH OH OH~! This was yelled out so many times my younger brother and sister chanted this saying for about a week. LOL  We watched the other tables around us chant with beers in hand before chugging down. * at 12 PM on a Saturday- Now they are not shy here when it comes to the drinks. We saw a table with a boot beer. A Glass shaped into a tall boot filled to the top for the guy to drink. TICKEY TOCKY TICKY TOCKY OHOHOH!! haha

This wouldn't be a place I would run to every week to eat. but once in a while its a cool location.

The restaurant is first rate.  You get both food and atmosphere here.  I have visited several times and had the German pot roast, Sauerbraten and now Jaeger Schnitzel.

As others have pointed out there is a substantial price tag to dinner but know that it includes all courses (including coffee and desert).  When you order the "big" beer they bring it out and the dining room chants.  Lot's of fun.

Service is always very nice and accommodating.

The German cole slaw and horseradish cottage cheese with crackers must be experienced.  We also received a generous amount of fresh bread, soup, salad, corn, applesauce and then the main course.  The Jaeger Schnitzel was done nicely and came with a delicious brown sauce and mushrooms.

They have a fine selection of German beers - I chose a blonde from Spaten and it worked nicely.

We also added the red cabbage which is a treat and will normally come with the sauerbraten.

Desert was also fine - but by this time the sheer amount of food was beginning to overwhelm.

The accordion player also made several appearances and even played a few kids songs for some of the small children present.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good German food and beer and a nice atmosphere.  This is a family run place and you can tell.

I came here two times, and both times were SO fun and SO yummy.  Totally worth the price!  The service is a bit slow, but if you get enough beer to last you, and you wait in patient anticipation for the food, it's one of the best German food experiences you can get in New England.

I really recommend their potato pancake side.  Their spatzle was only okay.  Everything else was delicious!
