    Nice neighborhood gem. This german restuant is well worth the visit. The food was deliciuous and extremely reasonable. They have a good selection, something for everyone. If you are into beers they also have a good selction of german beers as well as good wine selection that includes wines not typically on the average wine menu. The staff are super friendly.

    We came in off the Mass Pike, and it was easy to find the restaurant and to park. Greeted promptly, and our table was ready for us. The server was friendly and efficient, able to recite the day's specials from memory and to answer our questions about the menu. Our food came out quickly and exactly as ordered. We would stop here again when we are passing the area.

    The restaurant was comfortable, we were seated right away. It is an old fashion decor. Service was good and food a little on the heavy side but good.

    We really enjoyed our dinner at the Student Prince! I chose it based on positive OpenTable reviews, and it did not disappoint. It was the perfect place for a casual, Friday night meal with my daughter and my friend. We loved the crisp potato pancakes (we had two orders of them) and the gigantic pretzel. My Boston scrod was very good. I do think that the steak frites had too much sauce on it for my daughter's liking, but she is a picky eater. The entree sizes are generous, so come hungry or be prepared to take leftovers home. The decor is phenomenal, and the accordion player and his friend playing the baritone (at least I think that's what it was) created a very festive atmosphere. However, it was also very loud, so if you are looking for an intimate meal, this probably isn't the place for you. But, if you want to have a fun meal, this is a good choice.
