Horst Gasthaus

My mother and I had dinner at Horst Gasthaus this weekend (Saturday). Another locally owned and operated restaurant just blocks from Ocean Creek Resort.

If you enjoy German food, or want to try it, Horst Gasthaus is highly recommended. Mom and I did not have reservations, I recommend securing reservations as early as possible. Especially in high season or on a weekend that has car shows and St. Patrick’s day events. The wait was supposed to be long, but the staff took a quick look at the availability and got us seated at a bar table almost immediately. They got us drinks for the few minutes we had to wait, got a second round of drinks before happy hour expired. We had 2 servers waiting on us.

We ordered from the happy hour menu. I ordered the 2 sausage combo. Two different styles of sausage served over Sauerkraut, which was fantastic. I also ordered their German potato salad herby and the tang I expect from german potato salad. I also ordered cucumber salad which as a nice tang and another fantastic side. Fresh rye bread as well.

My mom ordered a Pork Chop, the Spätzle and Cucumber salad. Pasta being one thing almost every nation has in their repertoire, the Spätzle is very well done and another favorite of my family.

The service here is always impeccable but they went above and beyond to make sure we got seated quickly, got the Happy hour deals, had the drinks we wanted and even though Happy hour was not the original goal of coming here, waited on us like we were the only people in the restaurant.

Added bonus they usually have traditional German music, live most weekends, a great accordion player. Yes accordion can sound great.

Happy hour from 4pm to 6 pm. Follow the on facebook at Horst Gasthaus
