"While teaching classes at DIT, the students recommended that I check out the Knödelwerferin it's where they took their parents when their parents came to town, they said. I didn't get around to checking out the Knödelwerferin while I was teaching at DIT, but...finally checked it out this Saturday while running errands in DEG with my partner. If you're looking for someplace with high-quality Bavarian food and friendly service, this is it. The food was great and ranged in price from about for salads or smaller dishes with a side salad to about for a steak with sides. My partner had grilled pork with mushrooms in cream sauce and spätzle. I had the cheese spätzle with a side salad (and stole a bite of pork). My partner is a picky eater and praised his food. The portions were huge neither of us could finish everything. I was also impressed that there were vegetarian options other than just cheese spätzle. Beer-wise, beer is from the Passauer Löwenbrauerei, Weltenburger, and Brandys Braugarage. That was OK with us, because the main breweries in Deggendorf county don't have the best reputation. Our server was friendly, checked in with us to see how the food was or if we needed anything, but wasn't pushy or in our faces. The down sides... the acoustics in the restaurant are terrible and the restaurant is generally loud. On top of that, the tables are really close together, so it's easy to hear your neighbors' conversations. There were really weird decorations for Karneval, including a life-size human (male) mannequin wearing a clown outfit and Bozo wig. It was also really difficult to get to the restrooms, including going down a few and then going up a lot of steep, narrow, slippery, twisting stairs. My partner is visually impaired and due to the difficulty of going up and down the stairs, opted to wait to use the restroom elsewhere. Also, the restaurant could have incorporated the Knödel theme more I saw spinach dumplings on the menu, but that's about it. (For English speakers and some German speakers who didn't seem to get it there's a legend in Deggendorf that the city was attacked by a Germanic tribe that surrounded the city walls and was just waiting for the locals to surrender by waiting until they ran out of food. Around the time they were starting to run out of food, a woman made dumplings out of leftovers and was going to take them to her husband, who was on watch, when she noticed some spies. She threw the dumplings at the spies, who then reported back that the people in Deggendorf still had so much food, they could afford to throw it at the spies! The tribe then retreated. There's a small statue dedicated to the woman on a side street about a block down from the restaurant"
