The Schmankerl Stube Bavarian Restaurant, Hagerstown, MD

Where to start about this first meal stop on our trip to Texas...

We had a [presumably] new server.  So, things did not go well.  Enough said on that.

Amy had the Herzhafter Sauerbraten  Fall apart good, but a little more vinegar was needed, but that is just our taste.

I had the Wiener Schnitzel, great crust, with Spätzle:

And of course, BEER!

The house special this week is the: Grilled Tournedos of Beef Filet topped with Seasoned Lump Crab, served with Potato Snow and Vegetable of the Day - Not sure how German, but definitely Maryland.
