Best restaurant in jarrell! I have lived here 5 years and have not found any place in town that can compare. The food has always been delicious and fresh. I've never had something from here I didn't like. My top recommendation is the bratwurst it is always cooked perfectly! This is a must try spot for anyone that hasn't been here yet!

I love their cupcakes ! Wish I had a picture of one of them. Very delicious and homemade. It's inside the ExxonMobil gas station in Jarrell, Texas . Ask for the baker Chris, aka The Cupcake Man . He has cakes as well he can make for you. He's a very cool dude !

Customer service AND food was literally amazing. Most places don't nail both. I waited probably 5 minutes for this AMAZING pretzle burger. Hope this place stays in Jarrell because its a new favorite

Solid German food in a small town gas station. Don't be fooled, stop and enjoy. Get some black forest cake and thank me later.
