Fort Worth, Texas - Edelweiss German Restaurant Entertainment

The Edelweiss German Restaurant is a warm and extensively decorated restaurant/beer hall offering various Old World favorites such as weinerschnitzel, sauerkraut, sausage plates, and jaegerschnitzel. My wife and I love Edelweiss to pieces; we even got engaged there. Granted, it may sound at first like just another German-themed restaurant complete with "oompah" band, but here's what I believe makes Edelweiss a good Roadside America candidate:

(1) The owner and chef, Bernd Schnerzinger, sings to the audience almost every night -- while wearing lederhosen.
(2) The in-house "oompah" band frequently employs a full-size Alpine horn and a musical saw.
(3) A stage in the middle of the restaurant easily accommodates riotous Chicken Dancers of all ages. The restaurant sometimes makes special guests wear chicken-shaped hats while dancing.

The Edelweiss has been around since 1967, and business shows no sign of slowing down. Neither does Bernd. [Daniel Barnett, 10/13/2001]
