My family and I went on a Friday night for the German buffet, as suggested by others on Tripadvisor. It was obvious that many people had called in and made reservations, and there were not many open tables available, but things were adjusted and a spot was found for us. The food was excellent and tasted authentic (I have been... More

Small local place that you don't want to miss. Authentic German menu with lots of choices. Loved the red cabbage and the German fried potatoes! And the sour cream raisin pie was the best I've ever eaten. The owners are very nice and fun to visit with. Buffet on Fridays are the best time to go and try several dishes... More

Using Tripadvisor, we tried The Cabbage Roll for a unique experience. We were tired of the same chain eateries and this was a great surprise. Most of the reviews mention the buffets but we can attest that the lunch was great too. I had the sauerbraten and my partner had the jager schnitzel (he will fuss that I did not... More

Can't believe the food. Can't believe the atmosphere. Can't believe the service. And they cater too!! Awesome buffet. Liquor free but then who needs it when the food is this good. Desserts to die for are included in the buffet price. If you go, you will come back. Go with a group or go alone, just go and find out... More

The Cabbage Roll is an excellent local German Cafe. I cannot speak for the menu items, but the buffet items were fantastic. The prices are reasonable for the buffet and the service, the atmosphere is great. It is like you are eating in a grandma's house who overcooks and you feel compelled to try everything. Additionally the dessert options are... More

This is a small German cafe that's built a loyal local following over the years. The food is good, if not outstanding . . . the highlights seem to be the deserts, which are excellent. I've always felt the quantities were a little on the modest side, but I think that's because the owners have been trying to keep the... More

Good German food is difficult to find in this area, but the small, out of the way Cabbage Roll fills the bill nicely. Food is fresh and individually prepared. Service is outstanding. I have eaten German food in several parts of the US and the food here is some of the best. Hours are limited mostly to lunch, but they... More

We finally found the Cabbage Roll, and were so glad we did! A little cafe, it has wonderful, authentic German good and the ambiance to match. And desserts . . . if you want REAL German chocolate cake, come here! It has good local patronage (always a good sign), and is simply great fun. I wish we lived closer to... More
