The food was below par. The spaezel was way to thic and dry. The apple streudal barely had apple in it. There should have been a lot more apple - not just the pastry. Our server Kyle was excellent.

Overall the experience was average. The food was good but nothing outstanding a bit overpriced. Beer was average too however the Hofbrau was on a watery side. It was the last day of the Oktoberfest season so it was very noisy even if we were indoor it was actually noisier than outdoor where the band was playing. That was not my first visit at Teske's and probably not the Last one but Not for Oktoberfest.
