Alpine Village Market Cafeteria

Quick, fresh, clean and low key, the Alpine Market cafeteria is a haven for German expats to gather and have some honest and affordable food. The beer and wine selections include whatever you can buy from the market. And the portion sizes will leave you satisfied.

Looks beat up like some of those old places with cheap booze, and that’s because that’s exactly what it is! But then you order food and it all turns upside down! Got the Goulash which came on some thick noodles and it was some of the best comfort foods I had in a while! Absolutely delicious and it’s a ton of it! But wait, it comes with 2 sides also (I got potato and Greek salads) and I ate enough for 3 days right there! Not just German food, but different European dishes to choose from, all big portions. Service is OK, parking is OK too, unless you come here where there is an event or something. Great to stop at the Market next door since you made your way here anyway.

Last time I would have given it three stars, but today I give it a 4!
Largely due the the customer service at the deli counter given by MICHELLE!
She was great and what a huge difference to the lady who served me last time
(coupled with the rude customer next to me, which they can’t help), but this time
I got extra super service! The ladies at the bakery seemed to ignore me for a while but once I got their attention she was nice (but Michelle made up for their half a star) and at checkout they were very good and helped me with a problem without questioning it. I appreciated that!

Totally love this spot. Great food, the taste never changes its always delicious. I really love this spot. Hope its always there. its great that after you eat you can always go walk it off at the swapmeet.

People are watching the soccer game as I type this. Cheap food and lots of old people. It means that food is cheap and traditional.
The world cup is a great way to bring people together to gather and watch on who would win.
Especially when different countries are involved and we are at a german market.

It’s not often that I come here. German food is rather heavy, I do frequent the deli often though. We went of a friday, depending which day you come there are different specials. Today they had clam chowder.
Easily the best chowder I’ve ever had the privilege to wrap my tongue around. The clams were clean, sizable and plentiful. The creamed broth wasn’t thick, it was even light, nothing heavy about this chowder. They give you some of their rye bread along with the meal. I highly recommend getting a side of their liverwurst to shmear on the rye.
I also went with the red cabbage, which has a great balance of red wine viegar and apples.

Clean, fantastic food and can’t beat the price for the portion. Grab a beer from the great selection at the market and get a sandwich or meal special.

The Alpine Village Cafeteria is a simple counter off to the side of the Alpine Village Market with a rather substantial dining room with vinyl tablecloths. You order at the counter from the menu of German specialties and sandwiches. We decided to split the Goulash Soup ($ 3.95), which is an incredibly good deal. Offered daily, this tomato based broth is jammed with tender meat, potatoes and a handful of red bell peppers. Seriously, there is about 2.5 cups of soup. Then, you also get two slices of a mild German bread shmeared with butter. The bread needs the butter — it is a little dry without it (I think it is bauernbrot). But, it was tasty. We also ordered the Knockworst meal ($ 7.95), which was a large knockwurst sausage with a crisp casing served with two sides. We picked the spinach salad and the red cabbage rather than the fried potatoes and sauerkraut. The spinach salad was baby spinach leaves with an oil and lemon vinaigrette — really excellent quality. So delish! The red cabbage was very traditional — chopped red cabbage with a little tang — served warm. The sausage was mild and super fresh. Delicious! DH had a Spaten Optimator with lunch, which was only $ 2.70!
The staff here was a bit less friendly than in the market. But, ultimately, they were disarmed and they were not too bad. Next time, I am ordering the Reuben!

Great goulash with great sauerkraut. The goulash was plentiful and hearty. The potion size are large and worth the money. The cucumber salad has to be the best part of the meal. Only German place in the area and always open to fill your need. Don’t forget to stop at the market for all good German goodies!

I am definitely come in this place. Aside from the staff are friendly and nice. The trio sausage was delicious! Great service and great food.

Tried the polish sandwich which was great plus the French bread type bun was crisp on da outside and soft on the inside, really complimented the flat ironed sausage. Fries were ok. The beef stroganoff came with 2 sides and 2 slices of bread. For once the stroganoff had way more meat than noodles, other places skimp you, not here though. It was good but I was already stuffed so I packed most of it for another day or dinner. Going to have to try other items, see if they can raise this 3.

My boyfriend and his parents took me to this restaurant last Sunday for their brunch buffet as a late birthday treat. I was quite literally in hog heaven! Not only do they continue to bring you champagne and orange juice (at no additional charge), but they have a fully-​stocked waffle and omelet bar! I fell in love with the salmon and the goulash. I’d never had it before. The fact that I am German and had never before been to this place makes me a little sad. Everything was amazing! The service was prompt and friendly. I finished the meal with a little piece of German chocolate cake and it was just to die for, especially paired with the champagne! I can’t wait to come back here!

mmmm! I was really liking this place as we walked in today. Its like being in a totally different area or town. The lady at the counter was very friendly and the menu looked great! My wife got the goulache and I the ruben sandwich, we both had greek salad on the side. Overall it was very good, the only reason I didn’t give five stars is because the goulache was a little bland and I’ve had a better ruben at the New York Deli but still def worthwhile and I will go back to try the schnitzle and German Meatballs.

A must in this area. It was a chilly day, so we wanted warm food. I got the stuffed cabbage with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut, he got a bratwurst, fried potatoes, and kraut. It comes with the standard bread and butter, which many don’t know is standard fare in Germany, so great touch!
REAL potatoes, great gravy, sauerkraut to die for, it was wonderful! We both got a beer too… it was amazing! Fresh food, homemade, helpful with the menu, it was just great all around. For the price, it was wonderful. You know it’s good when the line wraps out the door for a cafeteria! The menu is varied, so you can find something you like… you have got to try this place if you like German food… and do NOT miss the market… I love markets that take me to the country it represents, and this place does!
We bought an apple strudel and ate on the patio after our lunch… having been to Germany, let me know tell you. this is fantastic. Funny thing is I’m Irish, but those Germans sure know how to eat!

Fast convenient and prices are less than a full service restaurant. They serve beer and deli sandwiches and they are located on the side of the grocery store.

Tried this place as a result of its grocery which carries interesting German food.
Our party tried 4 different dishes and some sides.
The Goulash soup, a specialty contained a thin poor tasting broth and contained lots of very fatty chunks of beef — almost inedible unless you like to eat beef fat.
The Greek salad was awful. The brats were OK, served on good buns.
The other items were pretty mundane.
If you want German food, get some products in the grocery, take it home and cook it yourself.

Stopped going there a few years ago due to outrageous rude behavior by some of their staff. So, this afternoon I thought, let me try it, again. Really wanted to have some food from my home country.
Well, went to that «cafeteria» with my friend. We looked at the menu hanging on the wall by the counter, only a couple in front of us being served. The clerk behind the desk and another person there, did see us, but waited until they were finally finished dealing with the people in front of us, to tell us in a snippy manner, we are closed now! No, they couldn’t tell us right away that they are about to close, they rather let us wait first. And they «really» would have been «over worked» to serve us some food.
Then we went to the market. Got myself some cold cuts which, by the way are so outrageously over priced. Went to the «cashier» who looked a bit bored, I addressed her politely with a hello and how are you. Got barely a respond with her chewing a gum with her open mouth, reminding me of a cow chewing on hey. Very unpleasant. I must say, having had some quite unpleasant experiences in the past and now, again. I do not understand where the owner of that business get some of their employees. Rude, obnoxious and plain unfriendly. They have absolutely no respect for their customers. I wonder from what holes some of them crawled out from.

I’ve been coming here for years and mostly on the weekends. Parking is terrible on the weekend but the sausages are worth the hectic lot. There is out door patio and it’s dog friendly as well. I eat where my yorkie can eat.

I absolutely love the café at Alpine Village! It instantly became one of my favorites. The food is extremely fresh and they are extremely generous with their serving portions. Though I am no expert on the subject of authentic European food, the food here tasted homemade and was absolutely satisfying.
The service was excellent. It’s a sit-​down type of place, but you order and pay at the cashier. They were extremely efficient and friendly in their customer service and I have absolutely no complaints.
I ordered a roast beef sandwich, which came with goulash soup on the side. It came with delicious bread and also potato salad. I absolutely loved every bit of my food. I left feeling extremely satisfied. The beef in the soup was tender and the paprika peppered on top was perfect.
Alpine Village is such a nice place. I really like their market. Their deli is great and has a variety of meats to choose from.
I could tell that their clientele are regulars and strongly support the place. Other restaurant patrons were extremely friendly.
Their bakery is also fantastic — I got several types of cookies. They were really fresh and high in quality.
Alpine Village has excellent food and a great atmosphere. Without a doubt, I give the Alpine Village café 5 of 5 stars, and would love to go back and try other food there.

This is for the cafeteria, not the market.
For the price, I’d expect more.
the food is just that, a cafeteria that’s attached to the restaurant. The staff are friendly, and the slop your food down on the plate just as well as any other place.
they charge quite a bit for what you get, I think I spent about 12 dollars for the main course and goulash soup. The food is alright, but I think taht they charge too much for what you get.
I was told that the proper restaurant across the parking lot is actually much more worth it. I’ll have to give that a try next.
