Newportville Inn

Didn't have any expectations because we have never been there before. Didn't even realize they served German food. But was very pleasantly surprised! Our waiter was very friendly outside area was very nice to enjoy our delicious food. Potatoe pancakes were delicious and beer selection was awesome! Was impressed they even let us go inside to finish our beers and brought us our check inside when we started getting annoyed by bugs . Would definitely go back!

I can't say that I know many places to get German food around here... but even if I did I'm confident Newportville would still rank high on my list.

You've gotta be in the right mood for it, just like with any place, but if you're looking for some of the best wursts of assorted types, pork chops, schnitzel, potato pancakes, and pretty much anything else you associate with German heritage than this is the place to check out.

Parking can be a bit difficult, but from what I've seen you can just park up top at the beer store.

The food varies from pretty good, to good, to great.  I can't say that I've ever had anything I didn't like there and the portion sizes will definitely satisfy even the biggest eaters.

Though I don't really drink beer I've gone with people who do and they've been impressed by several of the offerings.  These are some pretty picky folks too, so that's a good sign.  Plus they had a cider on tap which is always a plus for me, but I didn't even need it because their Strawberry Lemonade Cocktail was fantastic.

My sister is convinced it can be too loud.  I honestly don't really remember that being a problem and if it is I'm sure it's only at prime time when anywhere you go is sure to be a bit louder.

All The Saxon Ladies (all the Saxon ladies): A Review

Alack! How cam'st I to have neglected to praise my favorite German restaurant? Well, my friends, it's time to set things right. Please join me in a close reading of why Newportville is the best:

The food is bountiful and delicious. I can't recommend the "Farmer's Feast" enough. It has a smattering of several wursts, sides (like red cabbage and potato pancakes!) and other carnivorous delights. The only thing better than the Farmer's Feast is if you come during Oktoberfest and order the Oktoberfest special. It's includes all of the same gluttonous ecstasy as the Feast, except with extra stuff.

I have deducted a star from their rating for the most trivial of reasons--but it's important to me. They used to give you, with your salad, what I termed the Tri-Dressing Container (slightly evocative of the Tri-Wizard Tournament). Liberating you from having to make a high-stakes decision, that of which dressing to choose for your salad, without due consideration, the Tri-Dressing Container gave everyone at the able all 3 dressings--Italian, Lemon Poppy, and Something Else. You could defer your decision or mix and match. They, within the last couple of years, have retired this genius construct and now force you to make a decision in advance. The reasoning: h1n1 concerns. I don't even know what that means. I have mad mixed results in begging or flattering my way into them bringing out the container, which still lives in their kitchen. In short: bring back the Tri-Dressing Container and I shall restore your star!

Oh yeah: service is good, beer is good, ambiance is nice, yada yada. Bring back the container!

Highly recommend.
