My friends raved about this place so much i had to check it out. I was not disappointed AND was even overwhelmed a bit by how great it was.
First of all, you get there and the decor is charming for the theme. The bar offers so much variety and the staff were incredibly friendly and nice. The menu is small and completely worth every penny. It is priced so reasonably with incredible portion sizes that my mom and I split a meal and were STUFFED by the end of the evening.
We happened to get there when they had the band playing. A nice live band that played everything from German to Italian to Spanish even some classic American music. There was dancing and everyone in that place was so friendly, including the customers! Someone even came up to me and offered me a cookie!
I was a little leery about the food. The reason being is that German food is not known for its high flavor profile and my own palette is more Italian leaning. Imagine my surprise to find a DELICIOUS meal! You could tell everything (Maybe not the soup) was homemade. I read a comment that complained about the spaetzle and the schnitzel and may I just say I had a very different experience entirely. The schnitzel was so juicy and full of pure flavor that you could taste everything! And the spaetzle was a wonderful side. I loved the German potato salad and the cabbage was incredible!
My friends and I had an incredible, wonderful time. We all had a nice glass of Riesling, and a piece of cake which was amazing! You better believe if you are looking for a fun, friendly evening out full of REAL food, this is a neighborhood CLASSIC that everyone should visit at least once. I am planning several more trips personally! - Rafael D.Brookhaven, PA399321Feb 26, 2016
I am not really a fan of german food, but this was by far the best I have ever had. Kudos to the chef on a fantastic meal. This is my parents favorite stop when they are in the area. This is a must try for all!!!

I liked this place. A bit divey. Good service. Good food. It's hard to find German/Austrian food around here and they do it very well.

I was super excited to try the food here - I heard great things from friends! Unfortunately, I never got the chance... The wait was ridiculous, I waited with friends for a half hour but was never even acknowledged by an employee. I couldn't deal with such a frustrating wait, I had to leave. Maybe some other time...

Great place, reasonable and friendly with a bar! I've traveled to Austria and Germany and it has that atmosphere and food. We eat there regularly and they have a room for special events. My father had his eighty-fifth birthday party here last year and we are returning for his eighty-sixth! next week. The staff is so helpful and they have great bands and the place is just a lot of fun for the whole family. For some of the people that complained, you really don't get it- stick to chain restaurants I guess!
My family loves it here!! Keep up the great work, AV ;-)

The burgers here are awesome! I know this is a German spot and burgers are not exactly German food. The bread that's served is really good too- not sure if it's homemade or not. The crabcakes & stuffed mushrooms are usually really good, but the last few visits, they have been very mustardy (a little too much mustard powder). The service is not very quick and is somewhat friendly.

So so so sad! This place used to be the best...homemade food served hot and quick in a fun atmosphere. We had so many memorable family dinners there!
Not sure what happened, but the food is nothing like it used to be. The service was horrendously slow, inefficient, and unpleasant. The old-school servers who worked there back in the day must be rolling in their graves!!! - Eric W.Philadelphia, PA02Aug 24, 2018
We recently moved to the area, tried Hop Angel down the street which was good and wanted to try another similar place, so we tried Austrian Village. The bread for the table was stale and likely recycled. We had the soft pretzel which was warm and nice. The fried pickles were okay, but a little soggy. The mushroom schnitzel was bland and my wife ate maybe a third before giving up. The sauerkraut was very different than expected, not in a good way. The sea bass special was unseasoned and after taking several bites, it was noticed under the skin was a red/purple covering half the filet. I don't know if it was the bloodline or poor food safety, but that was it for me. After having our plates taken away, we waited 20 minutes for the check. I'm typing this review with my stomach cramping. Unfortunately, we will not be back. On a side note, we noticed a sign out front stating they were seeking cooks.
