Restaurants we have been to so far....

I have decided to go ahead and list the restaurants we have already tried with brief descriptions, and as I am sure we will visit them all again at that point I will give them their own posts with photos.

-Mezzos: This is a cafe and wine bar located at Marktler Straße 61  84489 Burghausen
located right next to the train station. We went there for dinner during the week and they had a wide variety of items from pizzas, sausages, schnitzel, and some house specialties. I had the Wienerschnitzel and it was okay....nothing special. I will say this place does get crowded and the night we were there they had multiple tables reserves for groups that night so we had to eat fast. I would definitely go back here though and try something different and not sit at a table where we had to get up at a certain time.

-Da Claudio: This is a Pizzeria and Italian restaurant located at Anton-Riemerschmid-Straße 7 84489 Burghausen. I will keep my description brief on this one as we are going here for dinner on Thursday night and I will be interested to see how it is at dinner time. Previously when I went here it was for lunch. What I will say now though is I did like at lunch they had a special of the day and it came with either espresso or dessert included with it. I got the special of some ttpe of roasted red pepper Schnitzel and it was delicious! I am excited for Thursday!

-Wacker Cafeteria: Ok, so I know this is really not a restaurant but we did eat here and if you are an employee or family member of an employee you can eat here. Now while I have only been here once, my husband eats here everyday during the week and loves it. They have a great variety with specials everyday. When I went I had a pasta dish, my son had a pretzel, and my husband got grilled beef liver with mashed potatoes and toasted onion (Yuck!). I can say though we all loved our meals, so they are doing something right. I definitely plan to go eat here with my son as soon as it warms up some.

-Italian Restaurant on Wacker Straße next to Lotto place: I have to apologize with this one as I have no idea what the name of the restaurant is as we just went there this past Saturday night and at that time I had no plans on writing this blog. We will defeinitely be going back there though so I will get the name and pictures! We decided to try it out because it was so close to our home, and what we found was pure deliciousness!!!!! My husband got a pizza, which he loved. It was a little doughy for me, but I prefer a very thin crust pizza. The sauce and toppings though had great flavor. I got one of their house specialities. It was the only schnitzel on their specialty list, I want to say it was something like Zagren Scnitzel but am not 100% sure. In fact, I was not sure exactly what I would be getting as all I could make out in the description was schnitzel and cheese, but I thought if it has these two things it can't be that bad. (If you have not noticed yet I am a big fan of schnitzels and consider myself somewhat of a conosieur...lol). Well what I got was amazing. It was a schnizel stuffed with black forest ham, multiple cheeses, and Quark (this is a type of cheese/yogurt you will find in a lot of things from items like this to desserts).  So basically this was like schnitzel cordon bleu x 10! I will say the side dishes they served with it of french fries, their house italian rice, and a blueberry compote (think cranberry sauce) were interesting, but who really cares when it is served next to that!

-Chilis: So for you Americans this is so not the Chili's Bar and Grill we all love and enjoy back home, well at least I do. It is located at Marktler Str. 5, 84489 Burghausen, and truly provides an ecclectic mix of food. They have pizzas, schnitzel, italian entrees, BBQ chicken wings and potato wedges, Indian food, and the list goes on and on. They also have a happy hour, Indian buffet the last Sunday of the month, breakfast, Breakfast buffet every Sunday morning, and dessert. On this trip here I was yearning for a taste of home and went with the BBQ chicken wings and potato wedges. They tasted nothing like the ones you get back home, but they were really good. They had a little bit of a bite to them, and my son loved their seasoned potato wedges. My husband tried their BBQ ribs and said they were just ok. It is hard to compare though when you've had the ribs from Sweet P's in Knoxville. Yummmmm.....

-Subway: Now this is exactly the same as back home, well almost. There are two locations I have seen: one in Burghausen on Marktler Straße  and one in Neuötting. We went to the one in Neuötting. It had pretty much all of the same options and most things were in English and German. They did not have all of the varieites in bread, and the bread was a little different. Also for all you Ranch dressing lovers....there was none of it to be found. However, instead of that I do recommend the Asiago Caesar. It was just as tasty on my Oven Roasted Chicken breast.  

There are two other places we have already been to, but I just so happen to take pictures while we were there so I will post them separately. In the chance I have forgotten something I will update this.
