Best German Restaurant in Newport News

Enjoyed a great dinner at Deutsche Ecke. Was a little apprehensive at first, the shopping center was a bit run down. And then, I got to Deutsche Ecke: Growing up in Germany, the Knödel and Roulade tasted like my grandma’s! Delicious! And the cheese cake with apple slices was out of this world! New favorite spot when visiting Newport News! If I lived here, I’d Gert the lunch specials all the time. Proprietors were super-nice and enjoyed the conversation with them, a true family-owned gem. Go with confidence.

Authentic German cuisine! Everything is HOMEMADE from SCRATCH! As an American I asked my European friend about ketchup for the schnitzel and he reminded me that's what the lemon was for lol it was so juicy and tasty, no ketchup needed! The pretzel appetizer was clearly authentic with fresh beer cheese, similar to the cheese from Oulemec in Czechia. The beer selection is perfection, highly recommend the darker schwartzbier, but Paulaner is the lighter go to. Dumplings are like none other. Red cabbage side is great, not sure if it's pickled but it's very savory. Potato salad is so tasty and original, definitely not like what Americans call German potato salad. No matter what you choose, you can't go wrong!

I’m Swiss, and I have to say this is some of the most authentic German food I’ve had here in the States. It was absolutely delicious, and I will definitely be back. We had the Jägerschnitzel with fries and potato salad, and everything was spot on perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We also took the cakes to go, and they were just as impressive. Highly recommend if you’re looking for real, hearty German comfort food.

This place has reopened. Google still has it as closed. The food here is authentic. Lunch prices are great. Simple but amazing. The staff was attentive and kind . For lunch, I got the BRATWURST UND KNOCKWURST W/ POTATO SALAD for $11.50. It was so good! If you like German food, please go support this restaurant.

Atmosphere was naturally good as I went with a group if 30+ German Club people. In fact, they typically only open for dinner at 4 pm and to accommodate our group they opened up early at 2:30 pm. They also offered us a special dish not available from the menu. The food was actually very good, but I gave it a 5-star rating because half my plate was Grünkohl and I only got like 3 slivers (1 sliver=1/2 a small potato) and very little meet. Typically, when I go to a restaurant I have to ask for a container to take leftovers home which will serve me as another meal. This is the first time in a very long time, I had no leftovers to take home. However, overall the prices are very reasonable compared to for example the Biergarten in Portsmouth, though the menue itself is not very extensive, but reasonably authentic. Setting is very basic and plain without any elaborate decorations other than perhaps the table clothes with a Bavarian theme standing out. Service was very attentive including the owner coming around to talk to us... in German, LOL
