Kolb's, though serving a great variety of dishes, is the only restaurant in New Orleans that makes a specialty of German food. The interior of the main dining-room at Kolb's is a very interesting reproduction of some of the features of a German tavern, while on one side is a Dutch Room with fireplaces and chimneys.
The food in general is excellent and the surroundings are very pleasant. Among the German dishes the proprietor recommends the following: wiener schnitzel with vegetables, German pot roast with potato pancake, stewed goose with dumplings, pig knuckles with sauerkraut, and home made pork sausage with red cabbage.
At night a Tyrolean orchestra in costume plays wine and beer classics, and both orchestra and guests join in singing old folk songs.
