This is my first time writing a review, but I had to write after having experienced a wonderful time there on Feb. 20, and then noticing the hatchet job someone else wrote about this place. We had a Birthday party with 13 people, and the food was INCREDIBLE!! From the goulosh soup (which I HIGHLY recommend) to the various entrees (most had the Jaegerschnitzel, Wienerschnitnel, Sauerbrauten, or Salmon), all the dishes came at the same time, were all hot, and everyone RAVED about the quality AND quantity of their various dishes. The service was great, and noone had an empty glass the entire evening. The reputation of the place is well deserved, and in my opinion, they are as good as ever. Definitely worth the trip for great food, at a decent price. By the way, I do NOT have blond hair OR blue eyes.

I'm late in placing this review but would be remiss if i didn't. I went here for my Birthday in April of 2008. It had been a long time since I came here looking for a good meal. Boy was I dissapointed! I expected the service to be bad as usual. (It seems they only give good service to you if you speak german or have blond hair and blue eyes at this place). The main reason for me not coming here often in the first place. But now the FOOD is bad! The Bratwurst was and Kassler Ripschen were cooked terrible! The ingredient quality has gone down hill. Everything about this place now screams budget cuts and cheapness. What a shame that another great German restaurant in queens has gone down the drain.

Zum Stammtisch consistently churns out good sauer braten -- a rarity in the New York City area for some reason. The wursts and schnitzels are also good, and no trip is complete without a mug of freshly tapped beer.

Zum Stammtisch is a fabulous restaurant where you can find echt or traditional German cuisine. The warm pumpernickel bread is wonderful as well as everything on their menu. I recommend their schnitzel and potato salad. Their apple strudel is yummy as well. I highly recommend this restaurant!

is the best and not even to compare to back home, it is just outstanding. all schnitzel are wonderful and the`red cabbage taste like grandmas. as a special on certain days you can get boiled beef with a horse radish sauce you will remember.
