About the Restaurant

Chef Armin has been cooking German food for decades and has a passion for providing the highest quality meals to guests. When you walk in and are greeted by the friendly staff, you’ll feel right at home!
The History
In 2015, Gary, the Maitre d’hotel, and Chef Armin took over the restaurant from previous owners, and their main goal was to bring traditional Austrian and German dishes to the shores of Anna Maria Island. Locals and visitors alike have loved coming to have some great conversation around delicious classic meals.
The Menu
The Schnizelhaus offers everything you’d expect to find from a true German meal. Try sauerkraut, spatzle, or multiple varities of schnitzel, and finish off your meal with desserts like an artisan cheese board or apfelstrudel. Of course, you can wash down your meal with an authentic imported beer or wine.
