I've never been to a place like this. Came here with a group of 15 for a celebratory meal. Sylvana and her family treated us royally and with warmth from the beginning. The food was unique, and extremely satisfying -- like a Central European Thanksgiving meal, served in a down-to-earth homestyle atmosphere (surrounded by many antiques sure to pique your interest). Also -- a great deal. Highly recommended, would love to return!
Great vibe, best food, even better hosts. Trynna come back here to buy the whole place up.
Upon entering this establishment, you feel like you’ve come home. Quaint, unique with all of its antiques and knick knacks. Food is beyond delicious, and the owners are very hospitable. Highly recommend!
This is not your typical restaurant. Walked in for the first time and were very surprised. This is an old inn with plenty of antiques to check out. Off to the right is the dining area and once you place your order you can walk around and pick up an antique or two if you want. Make sure you head upstairs and take your time.
On to the food. I am mad at myself for not coming in sooner. From the first bite to the last everything was delicious. The owners also make you feel very welcome and at home. Highly recommend!
My parents have lived very close by and we have never been there. My husband found it on Yelp! and decided he wanted to go try it for his birthday. So tonight we went for the first time. It was fantastic! Our only regret is that we haven’t been there sooner! Loved everything about it! Can’t wait to go again!

When we came in, we were surprised when Sylvana said to us, "the thing most people don't understand is that this is not a restaurant." Considering how hungry we all were, we found this somewhat disconcerting. Happily, it turns out that the dining experience at Der Jaeger's is akin to going to a new friends' home for dinner, and finding out, to your relief and joy, that your new hostess is a great cook and an interesting conversationalist. At the end of an unusual and delicious meal, having to resort to any financial agreement seems more difficult for the hosts than the guests, as though it truly was simply a party. If you enjoy novel experiences and great food, I highly recommend giving Der Jaeger a try!
Love everything about it! Sylvana is a master German chef! Savor the good food and an authentic experience.
Wonderful Dining Experience! Sauerbraten was delicious! Atmosphere has delightful Euro charm, Staff was warm and friendly.
Outstanding! Great food, unbelievable museum like atmosphere and the nicest people you'll ever meet.
The wonderful smells as we walked in the door made us feel as if we were entering a relatives home for a holiday dinner!! The food was delicious 😋

Had a wonderful time at Der Jaeger on Friday night! To merely call it dinner would do the whole experience a disservice. To set the scene - think of the most wonderful and fresh German/Central European food and combine that with a fascinating antique shop (set-up across multiple rooms) and a warmly informal atmosphere and you'll have something of an idea of what to expect. First we ordered - be sure to ask what beers are available - then we wandered the antique shop while our food was made fresh-to-order. We had - the Sausage Sampler (grilled fresh with a great sauerkraut), pork schnitzel, beef rouladen, potato dumplings, spaetzle, and cucumber salad (with chocolate mousse for dessert). Stand-outs for me were the pork schnitzel and cucumber salad, but everything was super fresh and delicious. And the atmosphere was so fun - we enjoyed ourselves immensely and are already planning the dishes to get again/try next time! Pro tips - make sure to call for a reservation! Check out the bathroom as well - lots of fun items in there too! Be sure to arrive with a hearty appetite and sense of humor and you will have a fabulous time! Thank you Sylvana and Janusz!
The most memorable, unique, an delicious dinner we’ve ever had, seriously! We stumbled upon Der jaeger by complete accident. We had no idea it was a husband wife team with the most amazing 3 table restaurant (reservation only!) antique shop combo with German food to die for - all prepared by the wife in the kitchen which you can see from your table. As we waited for our meal, we explored the antique shop. The entire house, including the upstairs and every room is full of amazing things. You can probably spend all night browsing but we had food to eat! We went crazy and ordered 3 entrees and 4 sides for 2 people and everything was out of this world good. Absolutely delicious. I can’t believe this place has been up the road from our home for years. We can not wait to go back and will be bringing family with us next time. If you’re looking for a comfortable, truly homemade, absolutely delicious, super unique dining experience, go! What an absolute hidden gem.
OMG! Talk about a wonderful experience! The food is incredible and the owners, even more-so. It feels like you’re having dinner with the German family you didn’t know you had. You are absolutely not rushed. The food takes some time but it gives you the opportunity to explore all the antiques in the building. Talk about an incredible collection. Overall, the food is amazing and the experience was nothing less than awesome. You will miss out if you never get the chance to try Der Jäger. Make sure to make a reservation in advanced! It’s nearly impossible to do a walk-in!
We called very last minute for a reservation and to our surprise they had a table available. Drinks (he was hand picked a german beer and i was given the most robust and sweet raspberry wine), bread (ohhhh the bread basket included themes pretzel like bun that is to DIE FOR and dinner ( absolutely everything about dinner was spectacular, way too much to detail),were absolutely delicious. We were invited to walk around and look at all of the antiques while waiting for our dinners to be prepared. So glad we did as it was fascinating to see room after room of beautiful antiques. This was an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Dinner and drinks were again absolutely delicious and we are looking forward to going again, perhaps getting dessert next time.
Amazing find with fantastic people in the middle of nowhere.
I might be biased here because I absolutely love German food and my wife is German. All the times we’ve come here, never had anything we did not like. The atmosphere here a special, the museum adds a touch of history, and Janus will tell you all about every single piece. Silvana cooks the meals to order with greatest of flavor. The friendly conversation( German and English) and seeing something new each visit in the museum makes this place special to us. We’ll always be return customers. Thank you so much!
I truly have no words to accurately explain how wonderful this place is. I’m in my forties and this is the first time in my life I left a restaurant smiling from the inside out. I am home now two hours later writing this review and still smiling. It’s something you have to experience for yourself.
Amazing, cozy place. Family oriented with delicious food. The owners are very hardworking, very kind. The art collection is something that you have to look ar while you are over there. Thanks for that evening.
Such a beautiful place. Coming from a cool, the food is absolutely spectacular. The taste and all the details that go into the food is unmatched. What an absolute gem. The owners, Sylvana and Janusz are the best combo, and will make you wish you were their child! Love love the entire experience of dining here. Would be a shame if I didn't mention that the antiques available here are superb. One of a kind. Can't wait to be back dor both, shopping and dining. Na zdrowie!
Have to agree with the other reviews in that this place is magical! The owners were both so very kind and accommodating.
We went there for my birthday and had a fantastic time. It is byob so they brought us some glasses and we walked around the historical house checking out all the art work.
We ordered the sausage sampler and the food was incredible! It feels like your in Europe so enjoy your time there and the experience.
If your looking for fast food and to be in and out this is not your place. If you want an authentic European style dinner with great people, energy, and thoughtfulness, this is your spot.
We were also surprised with a free birthday liquor after our meal and when we got our bill it was so very affordable. They could charge a lot more if they wanted. They accept credit cards as well.
Thank you so much for an unforgettable evening!
Help keep this restaurant in business and tell your friends!
This was the best German food I've ever eaten! It's a very unique dining experience. The owners and cook are very intimate and you feel like they are just cooking for you. (Which they are) They cook for one group at a time. The pace is much slower just like it is over in Europe. Enjoy your time and fellowship before your meal. When it comes, you will enjoy it!!! This place is amazing!!! Its better German Food then any fancy Philadelphian restaurant! -Bravo
