I decided to try out Lederhosen one night when I was poking around the West Village because my friend Stephanie had spoken highly of it and told me that I MUST go there.

Set down a few steps from the street, it was warm and inviting.The dining room was comprised of several wooden tables and little else aside from a large mural that covered all three walls floor to ceiling of, what I would assume, was the German countryside.
Our waitress came promptly and we ordered drinks from the pretty extensive German beer selection. A Schneider Weisse (light colored wheat beer) for me, and a Diesel (50/50 beer and Coke) for my boyfriend (surprisingly good!). Our waitress came back for our food requests and I ordered the Bratkartoffeln (fried German potatoes $4.00) and the Bratwurst ($5.00). The fried potatoes were delicious, similar to home fries – warm and slightly salty (probably fried in pork fat), with a crunchy outside and a soft inside. The Bratwurst came complete with while and red sauerkraut, onion, and mustard on a crunchy roll. The sausage was small but filling and definitely worth the five dollars.
After our food was served our waitress, who was rather unpleasant to begin with, seemed to forget we were there and it was a good 20 minutes after we had finished eating before we were able to flag her down for our check.
Overall the experience was great, cute relaxed atmosphere, good food, and good company.
Next time I will try one of their homemade dinners. This is not a place to take the kids, as it is more beer garden than restaurant but a good place for a few delicious beers and a brat with good friends.
