Have you ever gone into a brand new place and immediately experienced the warmth and welcoming like a close family environment? You know, a sense of coziness.
The German’s have a one word name for that. They quickly tell you that it’s called… Gemütlichkeit.
I can tell you straight up that the Schnitzel Ranch Restaurant in Huntsville, Alabama has that Gemütlichkeit feeling working for them full time and it’s always in high gear.
As soon as my family walked in the door, we were greeted by several staff members to the Schnitzel Ranch. They were all friendly and eager to get us seated.
Granted it was their first opening of their new place since relocating from across town and the excitement of their new place was obvious. That was fun to see.
Yes, GermanHeritageUSA was in the Haus!!!
Schnitzel Ranch Restaurant Owner and Chef, Renja Schmitt was busy speaking and taking pictures of patrons when she glanced up and recognized my face saying, “I knew you was going to eventually show up!”
After some good conversation with Renja, we were all seated and I was seriously debating on ordering either a 2 or 3 liter bier boot. I settled for a simple 1 liter mug. In minutes I was enjoying a Paulaner Premium Pils that was quite refreshing after a late afternoon drive into town from Nashville.
The Schnitzel Ranch Restaurant is pretty much in downtown Huntsville Alabama, not far from the Von Braun Civic Center at their new location on Church Street.
The select menu at the Schnitzel Ranch is fantastic folks! I had personally ordered the Jaeger Schnitzel dinner loaded with sauerkraut and warm kartoffelsalat on the side.
Delicious!
Besides just great German food and beer, the Schnitzel Ranch offers a full bar selection of a variety of spirits too! They can make you just about any type of drink you desire
By the way Renja, I did take your recommendation and tried a shot of Asbach Uralt. It’s a very popular old fine Brandy from Germany that’s now at the Schnitzel Ranch… Wunderbar!!!
In conclusion, a special thanks to Schnitzel Ranch owner and chef Renja Schmitt and the rest of the staff for a FIVE STAR dining experience. We will definitely be back!
