Siegfried's Delicatessen reminds me of an old school cafeteria... except the food is really, really good. The moment you enter, you smell the rich aromas of German cuisine. The process is fairly simple, just step up behind the long line of patrons also looking to place their order with the incredibly nice "lunch ladies" behind the serving station. 

This place is incredibly busy, but you can get in and get food remarkably quickly. The only problem may be seating if it's packed. There are tables for groups and a long counter for loners (or groups who like to face the same direction when they eat).

I opted for the Wienerschnitzel and Spaetzle with gravy. My side dish of choice was the sauerkraut.

I was a little unsure about using the lemon on the Wienerschnitzel. It was superb with and without, so leave it to your taste buds to decide.

The Spaetzle was delightful. I must advise, I think the texture is a bit of an acquired taste. Very easily acquired, though, I imagine. 


The Sauerkraut was excellent and complemented everything very well.

The food was very hot. Excellent comfort food on a chilly day, or any day for that matter. The people are nice, the food is good; go to Siegfried's if you're downtown and hungry.
