Flugplatz was highly recommended by local residents. it is a cozy place with a nice view. I didn't care for the house salad, I think it was a radish salad. I ordered the classic pork but after some confusion, received the beef. It was fun to watch the cook work the indoor grill. My steak was great. The pan roasted potatoes were very good. I only wish I had ordered a nice glass of red wine with my meal. I would definetly go back.

Just got back from Flugplatz. Not only was the food definitely worth it, the view from the back patio on a good day was amazing. The workers were all very friendly and did their best to communicate. The grounds the restaurant is on, is basically a smaller scaled air strip. while we were out there.It was cool watching home made airplane makers out there flying there planes.

Very good restaurant, not fancy more of the rural authentic style. Very good meat made over the typical local fireplace. Nice family personal. One of the best Spießbraten in the city.

Very nice venue with an English menue ... the spiesbraten is well recommended and one of the best I've tasted it's a small airfield too.
