While I can't comment on the authentic-ness, I have been to this restaurant many times and it is always good. The place is cute and cozy, the portions are generous and they will re-fill the family style side dishes. We always have leftovers to take home. This is one place we always get dessert.They are homemade and absolutely wonderful!

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
