I was so surprised by how insanely good the Schnitzel is. My husband got the Jager version and was also obsessed. It really tastes like home and so comforting. The service was quick and didn't break the bank either. I'm so glad this is close by as I will be going back frequently to get the Schnitzel!

The place looked nice, with blue and white plaid table clothes that slightly reminded me of Bavaria. Although it's in a repurposed fast food restaurant, it's very much mom and pops-style decor and not a dive; also it boasts an outdoor seating area as well, which is a charming European touch. The waitstaff was friendly; everyone was greeted with a "hello" as they entered. I ordered Jäger Schnitzel which came with a lemon slice, German potato salad, German coleslaw, a bread roll (with margarine spread), and lastly brown mushroom and onion gravy on the side. I also ordered a lemonade (which came in a can), and a piece of Key Lime Pie to go.
Let me preface this by saying I lived in Germany on and off over five years; I genuinely love German Bavarian food, none more than a great Jäger Schnitzel, it's a meal everyone should try once.
I enjoyed the meal overall, but it wasn't without its missteps, the main one arrived at my table with an excellent cut of schnitzel with the gravy in a bowl on the side, which quite literally was the first time I'd seen it that way. Part of the greatness that is Jäger Schnitzel is those last few minutes where it soaks up that gravy while still in the pan. Overall, the taste of the gravy was satisfactory (I'll come back to that), and while they cooked the schnitzel well, I've noticed a trend that permeates nearly every restaurant I've eaten at in the Clarksville area, under-seasoning.
The German potato salad and coleslaw tasted great and didn't suffer from a lack of flavor, but I do have a slight gripe about the coleslaw, it's one that happens regularly: the juice from the slaw drains onto the plate giving every other item that sweet taste which puts me off when I'm enjoying a savory cut of pork in a nice mushroom gravy. The gravy's taste was adversely affected by the slaw juice, but not enough for me to not clean my plate. Still, it's a lesson learned should I once again order the schnitzel.
I've yet to eat my key lime pie, but I'll try and remember to update this review once it's inhaled.
Overall, I'd give the food three and a half stars, but since I can't figure out how, and the service was excellent, I'll happily round up. I would recommend this place with the caveat that the coleslaw should be on the side, while the gravy should be on the plate.
Next time I go in, I'll try some of the Korean parts of the menu and leave another review. -

While the food is perfectly acceptable, and I actually found some of their Korean options to be quite good, but nothing here really stands out as being something I would come here for specifically. They also no longer serve liquor or beer; which for a restaurant that serves German and Korean food is strange to me.
Honestly, I really think they should pick one style of food and focus on that. It seems like they are a classic American diner, but they have German and Korean food. I suppose the only benefit for them for having multiple different styles of food is that they managed to keep their menu small, and didn't try to cram it full of item's they can't manage.
Overall, the place is okay, and I would definitely grab a burger here if I were in the area over going to McDonald's or Wendy's. -

Delicious Jager Schnitzel! I have ventured off of this meal only once to try the spicy pork, and...while it is tasty, it's not as good as the Jager Schnitzel!
Nice large piece of pork, ponded out pretty evenly and fried to perfection. The sauce is good too...with the onions and the mushrooms - Yum!
I always order mine with fries, but tried some onion rings today as well. Would be mo' better if they were fresh fries and rings....but hey, the Jager Schnitzel alone is worth the trip.
Friendly service staff and the little man running the register is always super cool and friendly.
Definitely recommend. -

They are the best German schnitzel spot in all my travels in the US. If you want to know what a legitimate dish should taste like, stop here and treat yourself. During the Cold War, army families were deployed to Germany and the cross pollination of culture produced a culinary boon to communities connected to the military. Campbell's kitchen is the last vestige of this phenomenon. Mr Campbell and his wife are hard working and dedicated people. I live in Los Angeles and this place is why I return. Long live Campbell's Kitichen!!!
