Die Kohlroulade bringt deutsche Küche in die Stadt: The Cabbage Roll is bringing German cuisine to town! Nestled in the heart of St. Joseph, this family-owned restaurant is committed to spreading German culture to locals. As the only German eatery in town, The Cabbage Roll, located at 2641 Lafayette St., offers authentic cuisine for customers seeking something new. More than just a restaurant, it’s a tribute to rich German culture and tradition.
German cuisine is something of a lost art in America. With few German eateries to choose from, the tradition of deutsches Essen (German food) has seemingly faded. However, owner Andy Halamar and his late partner, Larry Matt, were dedicated to reviving this culinary art in St. Joseph. They opened a local spot to celebrate German culture, serving traditional dishes like cabbage rolls, schnitzel, and more. After the passing of his partner, Andy reopened the restaurant with the help of his family, much to the joy of local fans. The small restaurant has since blossomed into a local favorite, gaining over 3.9k followers on Facebook.
German cuisine is quite delicious. The Cabbage Roll serves up dishes like bratwursts, sandwiches, schnitzel, jaegerschnitzel, tenderloin, pierogies, cabbage rolls and more. Each meal is served with a choice of sides, including chips, applesauce, German fried potatoes, creamy macaroni salad and our personal favorite, hot German potato salad. They also offer a variety of traditional American dishes, with specialty items rotating weekly. And let’s not forget the delectable desserts made in-house. From cakes and cheesecakes to tortes and pies, there’s much more than just hearty entrees.
When you’re in the mood for something new, adventurous and full of true culture, pay The Cabbage Roll a visit. Whether you’re dining in or ordering take-out, the German decor (especially festive during the Christmas season), authentic German music and outstanding customer service make for an unparalleled experience in our city. Don’t miss out on the chance to savor authentic German dishes while supporting a beloved local family business. There’s nowhere else like it!
