Fish Fry Fridays and Pork Shank Saturdays are tasting promotions currently going on and there is even magic on Sundays.

The beers are huge in massive 34 ounce steins. Featured this month is the original flavor from Munich called simply Oktoberfest Bier.

To get a good sampling of the food try the sausage tower. It includes a variety of sausages paired with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. The pretzels are brought in from a bakery overseas.

The dining room can fill up fast on the weekends so have your order ready to go as servers can be overwhlemed by the volume of hungry guests.
