text: Olde German Schnitzel Haus our local award winning Germany restaurant closed at the end of August nnI found no less than three German restaurants while searching on Yelp and oddly enough they were all exactly one hour from Hickory n Berliner Kindl German Restaurant in Black Mountain Bookmarkedn The German Restaurant in Yadkinville Fantasticn Waldhorn Restaurant in Pineville BookmarkednnI have had Waldhorn on my to try list seemingly forever so I headed toward Pineville for lunchnnI had every intention of ordering German sausages sauerkraut fried potatoes and German beer but they had a dish on the lunch menu that sounded appetizing It was a veal dish with sauteed mushrooms in a brown gravy atop Spuetzle accompanied by sautueed vegetables This dish sounded good to me so I changed my mind at the last minute It was delicious but it was a very plain Jane looking dish so I did not take any photos nnI was seated immediately but it took a good ten minutes for the young male bartender to stop talking golf and NASCAR before he pulled my Spaten lager When he did get around to his duties he did a very good job nnNote Spaten brewery was started in the year and it is delicious beer It is also deceptively potent nnI also drank a Spaten Oktoberfest beer and that was fantastic as wellnnI enjoyed Waldhorn and it was well worth the hours drive nnWhen I return I will try an assortment of German sausages with mustard sauerkraut fried potatoes and a German beer or two nnWaldhorn Restaurant is highly recommended
