Herwigs

Herwigs is currently in its tenth year of business, and is doing exceptionally well. Herwig himself still works at the restaurant with his son and wife.

Though the Austrian Bistro serves traditional food in a town with only a 20% Austrian population, they have had no problems staying in business.
The fast food chains have nothing on them they say, because Herwigs is like coming home for dinner. The food changes everyday and it is completely homemade.
The best part about Herwigs is the “invasive dining” aspect. All customers must order their food in Austrian, they must eat all of their food and they must be prepared to be teased throughout their meal.
When people say they are full, Herwig rubs their belly’s to help them finish their food. Bernd, his son, often threatens to beat people with a large wooden stick. (Jokingly of course) These are just some of the ways Herwigs entertains its customers.
