For those not inclined to the delicacy, the sauce is worth a dunk with the freshly baked rolls. Soups and salads come with dinners, with a visit to the salad bar. Though offering the typical greens, there are also meaty alternatives. A turkey salad, ham salad, both dressed with too much mayonnaise, were ample and hearty dining. On the lighter side, chicken liver pate, corn salad and marinated mushrooms provide appropriate alternatives to lettuce and dressing.
Soups are full and hearty, too.
When I ordered my prime rib rare, the server candidly indicated she doubted any was left. This thoughtfulness was appreciated, as opposed to being faced with wrong degree of doneness. As it turned out, I received a nice full cut of medium rare that was tender and served with a horseradish-mustard sauce and a flavorful au jus. The German side of the menu originates from Jaeppelt's background, and offers a marvelous alternative to steak, prime rib or seafood. There are too few such restaurants in the Inland area, and I was delighted to find the Anchor still offering schnitzels, bratwurst and the like.
