We came upon this place by accident and it turned out to be the best kind of surprise. It is in an old log cabin that looks like a resort restaurant from the 50's. It is noisy (great accordion music), cramped and not a fancy place. They were packed on a Friday night. The waitress was friendly and professional. I... More

We love the wiener schnitzel so much that we stop every time we go up or down 81. The black forest cake is yummy good. The music, ambiance, and service are spectacular! Stop by if you are in the area.

Driving back home from a funeral in Richmond, Virginia on Easter Sunday. My wife's family background is German/Polish with lots of traditions on holidays. We were sad because of the funeral and that this Easter there would not be the traditional German food we eat at Easter. Driving through Staunton, VA we spotted a sign for Edelweis German Restaurant, so... More

Visited from Charlottesville for a Saturday night family dinner, food probably not worth the drive, more for the experience. Nice atmosphere, but food leaves something to be desired. Sides were good; however, main's were for the mostpart overcooked. Good selection of German imported beers, wish I had the beer list before I started into my entree and I might have... More

Even though the atmosphere is nice, the food left a lot to be desired. We ordered the sampler platter - and one dish tasted like the next dish which tasted like the next dish..... Veggies were edible but pretty tasteless. I wouldln't drive out of my way to visit here again.....

This restaurant was located close to our bed and breakfast. The food was great and reasonably priced. We shared the sampler with a few extra sides and could not finish the generous portions.

We stopped here on the advice of friends. Kind of quirky to find a little German restaurant on the side of the road, but it was a pleasant surprise. The owner was super friendly, going from table to table and was actually our waiter. Lots of German beers to choose from. My husband ordered the brats and some other sausage... More

I don't usually take the time to write a review about anything unless it either greatly exceeds my expectations or I feel people need to be warned away. This place was great! We travel through Staunton when visiting family in NC or TN and like to stop for a real meal on the way. Fast food is verboten and we... More

I had driven by the sign many times while on trips to Richmond but never stopped until recently. The decor and atmosphere was great. My wife & Mother had both been to Germany and they said it was just like being there. The owner came out and introduced himself then spent several minutes talking to us, telling us about the... More
