German American Klub of Indianapolis
We went to the German American Klub of Indianapolis for dinner last night with my parents and I think that we were the only non-members there in the “crowd” of about a dozen people.
I ordered the Sauerbraten (beef, not horse*) which was interesting with the initial apple butter type taste with a bite of vinegar at the end. Tasty and different than anything I had ever had before, but I’ll probably try something different if I manage to get back there. For dessert I had the bread pudding with whiskey sauce which was also tasty (which I found funny to see it listed on the kids menu as well…sure, it’s cooked out, but that caught me as funny).
If you’re into beer, it looked like they had quite a selection, but that’s not an area which I can offer much critique (I have found a few beers that I can tolerate, but it is not my drink of choice). And speaking of my drink of choice, they only offer Pepsi products, so not having Coca-Cola available is my only real complaint (I did the Dew which isn’t my favorite, but it is better than Pepsi).
My verdict is, if you want good German food and don’t want to fight with a crowd on the weekend (not during their special events though), give them a visit. Price wise, it was a little expensive ($15-$16 for most dinners plus drink ($1.50), dessert ($4) and tip), but for the cuisine I don’t have anything to compare it to, so that may be normal. And I love to support local eateries, so what are a few extra bucks for something different than the major chain restaurants?
* And no, they do not offer horse meat…at least that I saw…but traditionally that’s what was/is used. (I know that we sell horse meat to foreign countries, but I’m not sure that you even legally serve it to humans in the States. And I don’t really care to know so I’m not even going to search to find out.)
