Stoudts used to be THE BOMB for Oktoberfest. We've gone several years, but this past year, 2016, was pathetically lame. The music, Joe Weber, was decent, though they don't play enough actual German (oopma, polka, waltz, drinking, anything!). The beer is, as always, good. But it was very poorly attended and the atmosphere sucked. For the price, it just wasn't fun. It used to be a blast!

As far as the restaurant, the food is mediocre. The beer, again-great! But, they make their own bread and its eh. We've been there for dinner and lunch. It's just not that impressive.

It's sad, actually, because Ed and Carol Stoudt really built an amazing place that had incredible activities that were well-attended throughout the year. It's the end if an era.
