Nice place for lunch. Reasonable prices, especially considering you get a bread and pretzel basket with your order. I had e chicken schnitzel sandwich. Chicken portion was good sized and the bread was a decent multi wheat instead of a white bread bun.
Beers are big but so is the price tag on them.
Very friendly staff at lunch and great collection of regular customer beer steins on the walls.
Top notch in all regards except one (availability of parking). This place serves up the best authentic German food in the area dining rooms decorated with decorative beer steins on all of the walls. Our waiter was efficient and attentive to all our needs. But what was best of all was the beer and the food. We had the Oktoberfest Märzen Hacker Pschorr on draught and loved it. Prost! For dinner, we give high marks to the wurst platters and schnitzel meals. Fortunately, we still had room for dessert and the German Chocolate Cake and Apple Strudel were both rich with flavor and simply delicious. We hesitated about coming here for a long time because of all the horror stories about parking. For that reason, we chose to come on Sunday night an hour or so before closing, when Checkers was least busy. This worked and we parked in their back lot. As a result, we are so happy with our enjoyable dinner at Checkers
My grandparents came to the USA from Germany so I was raised with German food. My family even had a chocolate factory when Grandpa was young. The food was good good but nothing compared to my grandma's cooking, of course! At least what I remember! The service was excellent.
I had not been in here in a while, so I was surprised to see the new bar they added on. I looked great, was nice and cool on that side, so we sat in there. Also there was live music which was nice. I ordered my go-to Jager Schnitzel, spatzel, and red cabbage. The Schnitzel was made perfectly, the Jager gravy was very bland, and the red cabbage was so strong it made my tongue feel burned. We tried 2 other gravy options but still very bland. It seems like it's the same gravy base with different add-ins. I will go and try again and will update this review if the food is back to the amazing experience I've had so many times before. The staff was fantastic, very friendly and attentive.

We came here to enjoy a little bit of the end of Oktoberfest and we love German beers and food.
We got a Hacker Pschorr Oktoberfest, Märzan bee (5.8%) I just can said was delicious!!
Additionally we got Sausage Sampler: Bratwurst, Knockurst, pepper and cheese bratwurst, chicken and apple sausage. It’s come with cabbage German style… it was “ok” we were missing the hot sausage and I can suggest to add more vinegar to the cabbage.
Additionally as a gift from our “close neighbors” we had a “homemade apple strudel” which was good.
The atmosphere is great, I’ve love the decoration and the most important and nice was the costumer service. Joe was the person in charge of us tonight and he was awesome and he went beyond improving his great Spanish.
This was my first time trying German food, outside of a pretzel or bratwurst. I visited during lunch hours - the place was nicely tucked away and not crowded. Plenty of German decorative drinking mugs line the wall - if you want to earn a mug on the wall you can.
The server I had was fairly new to the lunch hours, so there were some delays. She was a bit old, so to the point! If you know the northeast attitude, then you get it.
I like the chicken schnitzel (they have a variety of different schnitzels) which comes with gravy. Two sides came with the meal: I got the red cabbage, which is a pickled cabbage (the pickledness was very strong) and I got the potato dumpling (kinda like a giant gnocchi).
For dessert, we got the German chocolate cake and the apple strudel. The strudel was my favorite - it was light and not overly sweet. Highly recommend the strudel.

I love everything about Germany; I also lived there many years ago and still crave their food, even though… I’m Italian (so please, don’t repeat this to my Italian family and friends!).
I was therefore very happy to find out about this restaurant and to hear good reviews about it; and of course, I went to try it as soon as we could.
The restaurant was opened back in 1982 by a German chef, and the tradition is now continued by his nephew.
We came here on a Saturday for lunch: it was barely noon and the place was already packed (they open at 7am). Their parking lot is very small and was already full when we arrived, but we did manage to find a spot across the street.
You first enter their long and narrow bar, and from there a door takes you to the dining room.
In the dining room you feel as if you were in a German restaurant, and their walls are literally covered by German Beer Mugs and Boots – all of them with plaques with names on it.
These plaques are part of the “German Beer Tour” that the restaurant began in 2012, which sounds like fun! What you have to do to participate is first to request a “German Beer Tour Passport”, which list all of the 30 draft (imported) beers offered by the restaurant. This passport will keep track of your drinks: once you have drunk all the 30 German beers, you become a “Deutsche Bier Meister” (German Beer Master) and receive your own plaque on the wall, a German beer tour T-Shirt, and “Das Boot” to take home.
Apparently you can complete your “journey” at your own pace, so even if we don’t live very close to this location, I may request my passport next time we go!
I love “Leberwurst”, so once I saw it on the menu, I ordered it without even checking the other dishes. Even if I ordered it in the size of “appetizer”, the portion was really big. It was so good that I ate it all nevertheless.
I also tasted some of the food that our friends ordered (pancakes and various sausages), and liked them all!
The service is very good and fast, and the prices are very decent, above all considering the big portions.
They also have HH from Sunday to Friday, offering ½ off all their imported draft beers.
I look forward to coming back!
Simply amazing. One of the best schnitzels I’ve had in Florida. The quality exceeded my expectations. The only place that comes close is Bohemian Biergarten in Boulder, Colorado.
Becky and Denise were perfect, and made our visit feel complete. We’ll definitely be back!
I can't believe it's taken this long for me to hear where the old Cypress Nook crew ended up. Great move Matt and you're a Detroit Red Wings fan, too! You want proof... check out the bathroom!! We absolutely enjoyed our breakfast and Denise took great care of us, just like the old days! We'll definitely be back for lunch and dinner!!
This place is nicely decorated and has a very homey atmosphere. German mugs and plates are all over the walls and the dining room resembles more a European small restaurant than your typical American eatery.
At lunch, on a Saturday, they were pretty busy, but service was quick and attentive anyway.
The food, if you like German food, is definitely on the best of its kind in South Florida and very closed to the real German food, unlike other places where the menu is heavily Americanized.
I had the Kombination platter and the sausages are very good; so are the potato pancakes.
They have a good selection of German beers, priced pretty much all of them at $ 8.50 for half liter, that’s a bit more than a pint.
Definitely a place I will stop by again, good food, good beer, good service and a nice ambiance.
Celebration for friends' anniversary. Delicious food. I loved the sauerbraten! Highly recommend the chocolate cake for dessert.
Very good German restaurant. The food was very good and the beer was even better. Lots of steins on the wall. Small place so call and make a reservation
Great service. Waiter was patient and kind.
I don't like sour kraut, so I ordered red cabbage, surprise! , it's sour kraut! Cucumber salad also sour. I ordered Gypsy Schnitzel and the sauce and veggies were delicious and few, but the meat was bland. Split Pea soup was delicious but pricey I though at nine bucks.
The beer was great.
If I ever go back, I get some type of sausage.
Outside was some great entertainment; a young lady playing guitar and singing with a rhythm machine sang Happy Birthday to my Wife.
Visited Checkers on a very busy Friday night. We made a reservation with Resy. We arrived a little before our reservation time and were seated about 20 minutes past the reservation time. The host didn't seem too concerned with seating reservations before walk-ins. The server was friendly and attentive. The kitchen seemed a bit slow. Food was good by South Florida standards. Prices are fair.
Excellent German/Austrian food!
Served as soon as we sat down - rye bread and soft pretzel bites with grainy mustard - nice touch.
Started with the bratwurst & knockwurst appetizer served with spicy mustard and sauerkraut, all very tasty.
Opted for the veal schnitzel (I usually prefer pork) It was very tender with just the right thickness and breading. Some places don't pound it thin enough, but this was perfection.
A pint of Paulaner was just the ticket to complete a great meal.
Looking forward to seeing you again !
We have a German restaurant we love in Columbus, Ohio and were craving some German. The veal schnitzel was perfect. Crisp coating on tender veal - great taste. The warm German potato salad was better than what my mother used to make. The spaetzel was the perfect addition. For me the cabbage was just a little overcooked, but still a good counter point for the other flavors on the plate. I only gave 4 stars for atmosphere because we were stuck next to a large - very noisy - family so our dinner conversation was impossible. Oh...the beer was good too.
Love love love this place! As soon as you open the door you’re engulfed in the charming yet stocky energy of German culture. Food delicious, beer selections superb, and service so amazing. Our server Kelly was great; chill, informative, and funny!!! Highly recommend this hidden gem!
I debated about giving only 4 stars but don't want to change their overall rating. Amazing food and service. My only complaint is its too bright in there. Wish they would reduce the brightness by 20% otherwise I'd give them 6 stars.
