The German Cafe - Porters Neck

Make a reservation for a fantastic date night (with your partner or alone) at The German Cafe today! The novelty of being immersed in the German culture in Downtown Wilmington, NC was exactly what I was reaching for on a rainy Friday evening. Arrive at 5:00 p.m. and make a night of delicious German cuisine. Harvey personally returned a call as I inquired about German Clubs. The food, staff and owners are 10 Stars!!! Danke. Parking: Convenient parking lot steps away from The German Cafe which allows for up to 3 hours validated by owner!

The potato pancake was super thin. It felt like a tortilla. It was extremely small and super thin. I was disappointed.

Food and service excellent. Parking: They validate your parking which covers for three hours.

We had high hopes for this place when we decided to drive to Wilmington to try it. I was excited for all those beautiful cakes posted on the Facebook page. Well, there were no cakes at all and sadly the rest was really nothing special. The schnitzel preparation was not good. The potato pancakes were soggy. The ruebens were ok. The only one out of the 6 of us that enjoyed their food was the kielbasa order. Overall it was expensive for what it was and everyone left hungry.

All I can say is wow!! Best Reuben I’ve ever had, they make their dressing in house and it’s AMAZING! Highly recommend! And the waitresses were all so attentive they all dress in traditional dirndls as well, so cute!
