Its a comfortable space, with great food. And no, I dont own, work, or have any investment in it. Even though I drive an hour to get there from where I live, The Gunk Haus is absolutely worth the trip. If you like mushrooms, you have got to taste these. And the portion size was crazy large, for the prices. My small question brought one of the chefs tableside with a complete and friendly answer. The wait staff was polite, and aware without hovering. The food for lunch today was incredibly good. All in all, this was a top notch experience. To top it off, I was able to have Kirschwasser (cherry spirits) with dinner, which I havent yet found stateside and was a big plus. However, the beer cheese with the pretzel was exceptional, and the spaetzle and apple strudel were to die for. The chicken schnitzel was nicely done, if not the best Ive had, and the pretzel was very light and bread-like. Schnitzel, spaetzle, strudel, wurst, etc. You go for the ethnic staples as the measure of a place like this. I will tell everybody that I know not to go to that restaurant it is not run by German people.even the Weiss wurst was cold and boiled to death.tasteless!!!!. He should be fired!!!!: He certainly does not know German food. To make things worse, then they put cumin in the sauerkraut!!! sauerkraut has onions, caraway seeds, pork fat and sauerkraut!!!! I dont know who the chef is, but it was awful. This was horrific!!! Worse than horrible.Some chef decided to put a lot of cumin in the potato salad.yuck!!!! who puts cumin in German potato salad ? and it was not served warm. German potato salad is made with celery, onions a little vinegar, olive oil, red or regular potatoes with pieces of thick bacon. This was the worst a German food I ever had.!!!!! Not German at all !!! My mom was German. We will definitely be back to this place on our future trips upstate or to Berkshires. That happened on Friday, August 17th and the bag arrived today, Monday, August 20th. He already had the bag in a safe place and was so kind to agree to go to FedEx and ship it to my house in NJ. I called the restaurant and spoke to Dirk, who manages the place. She is visiting from overseas and had her ipad, iphone, passport and wallet in there. My mom forgot her bag there when we stopped on the way back from our vacation. But what set this place apart was the service. Delicious crepes, quiches and great burger. Food is really outstanding - classic German fair with a modern twist. It is a big place with a very nice outdoor terrace that offers great views. Reviews were very encouraging and they couldnt be more true. Great affordable place for lunch or dinner! I was looking for a place on the way to upstate NY and found this little gem.
