Eating Omaha....Barchen

We needed to get together with Jill to deliver some gifts for her birthday so we made plans to hit happy hour locally and choose Barchen,  a German Style Beer Garden in the Benson area.

Mostly beer but sadly, mostly out of beer. Nick tried to order several beers and at least 12 were not available so he settled for what was available. Not much of a beer drinker myself, I sampled a Moscow Mule which was refreshing on this summer evening. The temps were cooler and the shade provided by the large umbrellas provided a lot of relief.

We started with pretzels and mustards with a cheese sauce on the side. Very tasty and went great with beer as well as the Mule.

Jill chose the sausage platter for dinner. A large board came to the table with 8 house made sausages on a bed of sauerkraut.  A sampling of just about everything but it came at a price, $38 for 8 sausages. A side of coleslaw rounded out the fare. Just the right amount of acid to sweet. Most of the sausages were delicious. There were a few I did not care for but the platter disappeared after a bit. More than enough for the 4 of us to eat and that with a few beers and my drink totaled about $105 plus a tip. Pricier than I thought but a nice evening in a great setting with friendly service none the less.
