I really enjoyed my lunch here the other day. This is the type of place one should come to with a good person or group of people to talk with. It's the ideal restaurant to spend a couple of hours to truly enjoy the full experience. The portions are huge which is why the prices are on the higher side, I believe. You should defiantly split a meal or take your other half of the meal home. I had the Mandel Schnitzel which was a nice pork tenderloin served with a fantastic strawberry sauce. The Schnitzel came were two giant tenderloins that are covered with almonds. The meal comes with two sides, I ordered the Spätzle and sauerkraut everything was fantastic and worth every bite. The interior of the restaurant is typical Bavarian. I loved the decorations and wooden chairs and tables. The service was a little slow but other than that I had a very good experience here. They have a great selection of German beers!

Once again I visited the Fredericksburg Restaurant and the food was outstanding, as usual. The bonus this time was the GREAT service from Lance. Always checking with us, engaged with us and very personable. Great addition to the serving staff.

After years of passing by the restaurant, I went and was not disappointed. It looks and feels like a German pub. Wood on the outside and cozy on the inside. For large parties they have a separate menu. Somehow we got the Family Menu with a small party and had the Family Style Vegetables. I still am not sure how they made them but it was the best dumplings, carrots, and other seemingly ordinary veggies I have ever had. And when we finished them they brought more. Of course, they also have Schnitzel and it is incredible. The prices are good but I have no idea about the dessert since I usually cannot think about dessert and often have to take left overs home.

I was always curious about this restaurant. We passed it on Rte 29 everytime we went to visit my wife's family in MD and yesterday we finally had the opportunity to go. Plainly stated, our experience was a big dissapointment. Food: I have been to German restaurants before and can say that some traditional dishes could be bland; however, all of what we were served wasn't just bland, but mushy and oily. Crispy duck was not crispy. Skin was chewy and undercooked. Sesoning was OK. The veal cordon blue was OK, but they need to reassess their plate decoration. Canned pineapple slices on a $30 dish do not cut it. The Spaetzle was also overcooked. It looked like a bowl of oatmeal and my pasta-loving wife would not even touch it. The Blaukraut had no texture to it. It was a bowl of overly sweet cabbage pudding and it stayed right where the waitress left it. The kid's meal was atrocious. The mini-burgers were previously frozen and tasted liked cardboard. Our daughter ate the fruit that came with them instead. The Potato dumplings tasted like some kind raw dough ran quickly through the steamer. They did not taste like anything made with potatoes. We chose not to order any dessert to avoid further disappointment. Price: Very expensive. I have eaten better at other restaurants for less. Atmosphere: Nice. The wood, windows, uniforms of the staff, and the beatiful location give it a real rural german feel. They should put the power outlets elsewhere though. No one wants to see a power outlet in the middle of their table! The table top lamp connected to it looked like no one had ran a clean rag through it since WWII. Service: OK. Waitress was decent. Food came quickly and she was friendly towards our children. Overall: We will not be going back to the Bavarian Chef. The food leaves a lot to be desired for the price.

I was passing with 10 friends to DC and we stopped by. The food was perfect and the service is great.
