    This place is totally a hidden gem. In fact, the only reason I'm rating it now is because I'm moving, but I've enjoyed the generous portions, quality food, reasonable prices & no crowds for years.

    If you like roast pork, treat yourself to the schweinshaxen (roasted pork knuckle). It is has a crispy pork skin (better than bacon) that is to die for. One of the best bites on the peninsula.

    Hidden gem for authentic German beer and (hidden) Biergarten in the back - great stop on a chill sunny afternoon.

    Decent but unexceptional German baked goods. If you want exceptional you're going to have to go to Backhaus in San Mateo instead.

    Esther's is not located in the "570 Showers Dr" shopping area. It's real address is about a block away, across El Camino Real at "987 N San Antonio Rd".

    Straight up, black coffee isn't bitter - it's almost a bit sweet.

    Food is tasty & not expensive, but vegetarians beware: their items such as sauerkraut & potato salad contain bacon.

    They no longer accept FiveStars card. Instead they are using the Rewardy mobile app which is actually better than FiveStars card since Rewardy shows you clearly how to earn points for next reward.
