Braumeister Der Restaurant   

Patience, my friend: Sift though all the pizza shops, fast-food joints and 24-hour convenience stories that mob the streets near the West Side and you'll find a wunderbar Bavarian gem: Der Braumeister. Catering to folks with iron stomachs and a predilection for German brews, the place certainly stands out in the neighborhood. Inside, though, everything in sync: The traditional beer-house decor fits in perfectly with the menu. A haven for those with hearty appetites, De Braumeister piles on the wiener schnitzel, paprikash and a variety of sausage combos, which are best washed down with a stout lager. Those with more homebound tates might find a burger or steak to their liking. All will no doubt find a brew among the 100 or so imported beers and German wines. Der Braumeister will serve food as long as people are coming to eat it, but here's a tip: Get there early in case it's a light night; they'll shut the grill off.
