Kirker's Inn - Hawthorne

It's just what I expected. I've only visited in the afternoon and have always sat at the bar. They offer a diverse menu, but I like to keep things simple. I appreciate Kirker's for its German dishes, the great beer, and the friendly staff. The pizza is what truly elevates Kirker's to local legend status. It's delicious, and I might even like it more than Kinchleys.

The restaurant offers delicious food at excellent prices. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. There is also a diverse selection of menu items to choose from.

The service was excellent, truly. The food was decent, but we finished it all out of hunger. If you're seeking authentic German cuisine, this is definitely not the place to make a special trip to, as we did.

The first time I went here, I sat in the booths, had some nice German food, and a few really good beers (in my opinion Paulaner). The second time I came, I sat at the bar, split a pizza with my friend, and also had a really nice beer (same). Bothtimes, I had a great experience due to the nice staff and excellent cooks. I'd highly recommend, if you haven't tried thisbefore.

The restaurant itself isn't much to look at, but sometimes those are the best spots! There’s street parking available, though I can't say how easy it is to find a spot during peak hours. The menu is extensive, and I particularly enjoyed the potato pancakes. The waitress was incredibly attentive and even offered to take a picture of my family while I was having fun with my camera. They take a short summer break around July 4th, which is understandable. Just be sure to check if they're open before you go!
