Jägerhaus, Authentic German Cuisine.

Jägerhaus, Authentic German Cuisine.

Jägerhaus is the first German restaurant that I patronize. It is located at the corner of East Ball Road near the 57 Freeway ramp. It is not that visible from the street since it is in the corner of a strip mall. We have been in that area several times before, but we never noticed the restaurant. We noticed it after we dropped our dog at our friends’ house, and we decided to eat there before we picked him up.

From the outside, the restaurant’s structure looks just the same with neighboring shops, nothing special. However, the inside is surprisingly convenient and homey. As I stepped in, I felt like I was entering an old European house in the story books. On the walls are old pictures, and the tables and chairs gave us a “classic” feeling. Window curtains with tiny fruits patterns give different accents to the room. Statues of different animals, like squirrels, and a variety of beer steins are standing on the wall shelves. The beer steins give strong German’s character to the restaurant.

After we got our seat (under a squirrel figurine), we were greeted by an lady who reminded me to a dormitory school teacher from Enid Blyton’s books. She greeted and asked whether it was our first visit. We had a nice small chat with her and before she leaving us with the menu, she offered some explanations on the menu items, which made us really excited.

The lady, Ms. Schwaiger, is the restaurant’s co-owner. We did not know until she gave us her business card. Her voice was firm but she showed tremendous patience in answering our questions about the food. She also explained how the food were cooked which it is a good marketing strategy to attract new customers.

When our orders were served, they looked so tempting and the portions were generous but not gigantic. The food tasted so delicious. The mashed potato was mixed with sauerkraut juice which gave it a different taste. The sauerkraut was not too sour. The dinner rolls were soft and delicious. The meats were tender and juicy. We had a wonderful dinner there. We were grateful that we had a chance to taste different food from different country.

The food is somewhat expensive since it offers exquisite meats such as deer meat, wild boar meat, rabbit meat, and variety of sausages which you might not find them in regular restaurants. Furthermore, it offers excellent customer services and different eating environment.

Despite the price, you will not regret eating there. Eating good German food in a cozy restaurant with professional customer services!!
