Food is very tasty, ordered the Belgium waffles with strawberry jelly, scrambled egg and German sausage. Everything tasty and good portions. Service is fast, server was nice and attentive. They have pastries to go and coffee to go too in case is too busy to find a place to sit.

This was my first time visiting. The food and pastries were good, but overall, nothing really stood out to set it apart, except for the Opa’s sausage, which was definitely a highlight. The atmosphere is simple; I was hoping for a bit more in terms of ambiance and decor. The dishes we tried were the smoked pork chop and the croissant sandwich. Service was good, and I recommend arriving early if you want to grab a seat quickly.

Waited over 30 minutes to be seated which I understand but by the time we where seated breakfast was over and they wouldn't give us a break..I then ordered Chicken fried steak off the menu and they said it was sold out. Really 12 noon and it's sold out. Got some cookies to go that were good but probably won't be back.

Stopped in Fredericksburg for a late brunch, was pleasantly surprised by the Old German Bakery. We ordered a giant pretzel for our appetizer which was excellent. I ordered the Country Fried Steak and Eggs. The gravy was light and actually added to the dish. The Haus potatoes were perfectly seasoned, and the steak itself was done amazing. I also tried the German Pancake which was delicious and surprisingly refreshing because of the lemon zest and syrup. The portion sizes were great and the prices were reasonable for the portions. I would highly recommend stopping here if you’re in Fredericksburg.

I highly recommend this casual restaurant. I went at a busy time & had to wait about 20 minutes, but it was worth it. I lived in Germany years ago, and this schnitzel was very authentic and tasty. It was served with crunchy home fries and a salad. The iced tea was fresh, large and had crushed ice. The service was excellent. There is also a bakery if you want to get some goodies to go!

Great casual Old German restaurant/cafe bakery. Luckily we had cash as the card machine wasn't functional on our visit. Everything was absolutely delicious from the fried green tomatoes to the price and small town home feeling from the staff. Super friendly and did not break the bank unlike other eateries near by/Fredericksburg.

Great service in a friendly atmosphere. We had breakfast and picked up a few pastries for later. They do have good biscuits. The line at the bakery stayed busy the whole time we were there.
