Very Disappointed

by Expectdbest at Citysearch

My husband and I have patronized the Village Corner Bakery in Stone Mountain on several occasions, mainly to support businesses in our neighborhood. The food was just ok and the cakes use to taste as described on their website. This year I ordered the Grand Marnier liqueur cake for my boss, based on the description of having, ?4 layers of yellow cake soaked in Grand Marnier liqueur?. I told my boss about it and he was excited. To our disappointment and my embarrassment, there was not a hint of the orange liqueur. It basically tasted like a yellow cake with butter cream. My other complaint is when I placed the order the person I spoke with was rude. However, when I called to complain to the owner about the cake I had purchased, I found out that the rude person I had placed the order with was the owner and he was still rude! He asked, ?What do I want him to do?? I said check with the baker to insure the liqueur was not left out. He said he would and call me back. Of course I have not heard from him even after calling back and leaving a message. It would appear that customer satisfaction doesn?t matter to him, but it matters to me so that is why I am writing this review. Businesses like this don?t deserve our hard earned money. Don't waste your money here. There are a lot of businesses that take pride in customer satisfaction and the quality of their food.

nice but not great

by mcoreo at Citysearch

Nice outdoor seating, once we got sat which took about 20 minutes and they were not even busy. The menu was limited especially for lunch/brunch. Service very disjointed. The sausage platter was excellent. I must say it was better than the German places we've eaten at in Helen- those were horrible. I would go back here to have some beer and sausage.

• Pros: great German Sausage
• Cons: Slowslowslow service, limited menu, overpriced

Sehr Gut

by gfgayle at Citysearch

This is the best German food I had since I left Germany many years ago. The prices are reasonable and the food delicilous. The desserts are to die for. The building is quaint and the service great. I have never had a bad dish.

• Pros: The food is phenomenal.
• Cons: It is a little hard to find.

SURPRISINGLY GREAT FOOD!

by aqualuna at Citysearch

I don't understand the bad reviews-we went here last weekend and had an incredible meal where EVERY SINGLE THING was delicious. I've had plenty of mediocre brunches in this town, so I wasn't expecting much, but we were so happy to have such a great experience.

I got the potato pancakes with smoked salmon, and they were delightfully crunchy, and also came with the traditional sour cream and applesauce (which tasted homemade and had cranberries in it-YUM!)

My husband's sausage platter was so tasty that I kept asking for bites, and my daughter had an apple pancake that was packed with green apple slices and came with real freshly whipped cream and some of the best bacon I've ever had.

The bread was wholesome and fresh and the service was friendly.

This is a new fave and I am bringing out of town guests this weekend. A treat!

• Pros: great food
• Cons: none

Good beer selection and pretty good food

by RickGwinnett at Citysearch

Nice selection of beer that changes from time to time, friendly bartenders, quiet and NO SMOKING inside. Okay for kids - well behaved customers. I would appreciate some additional Americanized snacks, they don't quite get the right formula for nachos, but the snitzel-waggen-furter-fruten German stuff is good. Nice atmosphere, but I would like to have a lock on the men's room door. Surprise?

• Pros: Beer Selection, indoor and outdoor seating, No Smoking allowed inside, good breakfast
• Cons: Servings are large, more snacks would help

by truelyunhappy123 at Citysearch

I am very unhappy with my experience at this hell kitchen! Chef ramsey would love it! The prices were totally over proced and claus and hilde were so rude! It is just a FAKE world and would NEVER EVER go there agin! so save your money and time and go somewhere honest and fair. DO not eat that food you will get SICK! Thats a promise. The I team was there last year if that tells you anything!

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: uncomfortable,costs to much,disgusting food

Much less than expected.

by katiebug78 at Citysearch

Hello, my fiance and i are knew to georgia. we visited this restaurant with some of our neighbors two weekends ago only to find an overall bad experience with a very upsetting credit card bill two weeks later. we had been charged gratuity twice because we left a tip without knowing that it was already included for only 5 people dining. hoping to find an oktoberfest celebration, we instead found rude service (10 minutes to be greeted at our dirty table), stale bread as an appetizer and a dishonest server who did not mention the added gratuity to our food and beverage check. we obviously do not plan to return. i hate to leave negative feedback but this experience was awful. we're from southern california and so far the "southern hospitality" we heard so much about isn't what we expected at all.

• Pros: lots of parking in a nearly empty lot
• Cons: too many to mention. it was a disaster all the way around.

A good eats gathering place with real Deutsche beer. Authentic and not part of a chain...yeah.

by tmuse at Citysearch

Recommended by a friend quite a while back, I was surprised by the welcome and the menu. I came looking for a good Pilsner and left with a sense that I'd made some new friends. Since then, I'm back almost weekly.

Good food (wurst platte is a treat), good conversation, and a most excellent Dinkle Acher Pils. Tschuss

Great Bavarian Treats & beer

by dunwooodyfoody at Citysearch

This place was a blast to visit and the food although a bit pricey was authentic and delicious. Service was friendly and attentive and the place was well kept and clean. bakery items were out of this world and very fresh. Stone mountain is much better after a few Pints of Spatens

• Pros: Bakery, Beer & Faulines
• Cons: Parking

waste of gas money

by ibmxmacgeek at Citysearch

the entire city of stone mountain was a real waste of time for my group and i. we looked forward to a nice dinner in the german restaurant and ended up with upset stomachs (2 members) and people feeling kindof ripped off. prices were pretty high, and the food we received left alot to be desired. the women said that the restrooms were dirty too. lots of traffic also outside. not worth the trip. big lesson learned.

• Pros: nearby to the stone mountain park area
• Cons: value for the money
