Simple but great. Their fries are still some of the best and the endless beer and sausage selection is great.

Really fantastic German food and beer, which is less common in LA. Their focus is on different types of bratwurst and beers, including some more unique flavors like rattlesnake and rabbit. We took my uncle here for his 21st and he got one of the large mugs of beer. We each got a different type of sausage and shared fries with a variety of dipping sauces. They have an outdoor seating area, as well as an inside area with a secondary bar and DJ area, but I'm not sure when the DJ plays. The atmosphere is dark with large community tables and some private tables around the corners of the restaurant. Really fun spot to go with friends or family if you just want to have some drinks, good food and enjoy the evening.

They have a great selection of sausages, and the most unique and tasty for me was the rattlesnake rabbit, along with the bratwurst. They also have a wide variety of drinks, including my favorite sarsaparilla soda. Prices are fair for the flavor and quality. I’ll definitely be coming back to try out every flavor.

Yes there’s an awesome selection of items to put between a hot dog bun, but it’s the fries I want.

I’m so glad this place - my trusty late night place - is still here after all these years. They have the best fries EVER, and amazing vegan sausage options. They’re open late, so it’s always been my favorite place to eat after a night out. The atmosphere is also great, so it’s a nice place to hang out whether you’re with friends, on a date or alone!

I was very excited to check this place out! Some good things some less great. Let’s start with the food! 5/5! Great fries, awesome sausages. The lamb is 100% the best! Also love all the sauces they have and the sundried tomato mayo was delish. Now the beer.. meeeh I tried 3 different ones and they were mid. 3/5 for that. Also it was a summer night and the beers wernt anywhere cold enough. Now what I disliked the most, the patio wasnt furnished so we had to sit inside… no problem right? However the inside area has no air circulation at all. So it was very very hot and had to keep stepping out to get some fresh air then going back in. They should have installed ceiling fans or turned the AC on. Maybe I will come back one day but overall I was dissapointed by the beers and vibe!

My first visit at 3pm on a Friday afternoon, and the wait was not long at all. It's mostly street parking, some metered some not, and some paid lots. Watch the signs. Important to note that you place your order at the counter inside near the outdoor patio, take a number to your seat, and a server delivers it. My group of 5 ate outside at picnic tables with plenty of umbrellas to shade the sun, tall "hedges" to block the little bit of street traffic, and there was a nice breeze. There's a WIDE variety of sausages and beverages, and the service was fast. I had the VEGETARIAN MEXICAN CHIPOTLE with caramelized onions and sweet peppers. Just enough heat in the sausage so the sweet peppers were perfect, and I went with some honey mustard to also balance it. Everyone liked their dishes and drinks. They also offer indoor seating. My only criticism might be that the fries were too salty (but still delicious), and the pesto mayo was great but the portion was too small. The "Klein" (small) fries are more than enough for the average person. I would definitely go back to try other things!

Great spot with a fun vibe. I love that you can draw with crayon on the tablecloth there. The selection of foods is awesome, with lots of crazy options. The price is steep, but it's worth it for the experience. I didn't know they sold snake meat, but they do! Great for someone feeling adventurous. There are plenty of normal options too though. It's a great spot to go to with friends.
