Roemer Topf

One of my favorite restaurants in town. Worth the trip and the service is great. They have always been nice and the boys love the drinks.

Pretty Authentic... it was a gorgeous afternoon so we mostly sat outside and enjoyed their "beergarten"... until the mosquitos which were a nuisance but our own fault for not bug spraying ourselves... went inside and enjoyed live music...the owner is very funny and tries hard so everyone has a good time... the beers are awesome and the dark ale kicked my husbands rear... would def be back

We were looking forward to trying this German restaurant, instead we left very disappointed.  

I ordered the Rouladen hoping to enjoy a meal my Mom always made (I am German, my parents are German)  and I have made myself.   I know what German food looks and tastes like very well having eaten it for close to 50 years.

When it came out it looked pretty good.  Two rouladen on a plate with red cabbage and spaetzle. Unfortunately that was just a ruse ,what I received were two paper thin pieces of meat with a hint of bacon and pickle and at least a half cup of sliced up onions in each!   I guess the taste was ok if you like alot of onions.  NOTHING like what rouladen looks or tastes like AT ALL.  

My husband's meal and our other two guests meat portions were small.  They ordered pork dishes.  The taste was ok.  Although the spaetzle and red cabbage tasted ok, I believe everyone's food came out warm.

Their beer selection was really good I'll give credit for that.  Our waitress was pleasant.  

There is not much of a German atmosphere, what you might think one would be like.  But when we came in I thought, if the food was delicious as we had read it would make up for the lack of character to the place.

Go if you like, but just remember, the main portion of your dish is not what I consider authentic German.  Unfortunately it was not worth the trip from St Louis.  The best part of our evening was the drive back through the backroads of Illinois.
