I definitely enjoyed the brat I got. Quality tasty ingredients from the bun, through the mustard they had there. Very nice. The pretzel I ordered was a little dry, but I appreciated the artisan quality it had - not your usual SuperPretzel hanging from a metal rod above a light bulb.\n\nAs another person mentioned, the food isn't your traditional German style. They're pulling inspiration from German fare, but creatively altering it to make it an enjoyable culinary experience.\n\nIf this place lowered it's beer prices a little (wink wink), it'd steal a lot of traffic from Tempe, me thinks. :)\n\nI think this place is the choice for a date if you both want to drink beer with dinner. You also have Scottsdale to play around in afterward.
