Edelweiss German Restaurant

If you’re not a cheapskate this restaurant is really nice.. food is good.. beer and wine very good.. I just asked advice on what to get.. German waitress was nice and helpful.. I liked it and would go back whenever I’m in the area.

This quaint little German restaurant serves wonderful food and the sides that are served with meals (sauerkraut, red cabbage, green beans, spaetzle, etc.) are "all you can eat", so all you have to do is ask for more! The reviewer who complained about the size of the side dishes was either uninformed or was being intentionally negative. Unfortunately I have not been there for dinner but they have German bands entertaining some times! If you are in the area and love German food, jump off I-81 and give this place a try!

As a devotee of German cuisine and culture, I was excited to find a German restaurant near a small town we visited in Virginia. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The atmosphere was certainly pleasant and a very nice older woman was our server (she was German herself). But the food was not very impressive and quite overpriced. I ordered sauerbraten and it was a couple of slices of thin, cafeteria style roast beef in a watery gravy. The side dishes that come with each order were very sparse ... a tiny dish of sauerkraut, one of red cabbage, one of spaetlze and one of green beans ... for our entire table! My wife ordered beef stroganoff which was somewhat better because it at least had more meat (although it was salty). Our son ordered a hot dog from the children's menu and there was no hot dog bun, an inexcusable omission for such a simple dish (he is four years old).



Our two adult lunch entrees, our son's children's entree and a small dish of rice pudding (ordered for our 2 year old daughter) cost $41. This was ridiculously overpriced for the quality and portion size.



I have eaten German food in Germany itself as well as in many restaurants in the US, and sadly, despite the nice atmosphere and friendly service, I found Edelweiss to offer the worst value.
