I've been eating here since it opened years ago, and while I miss Max and Moritz, the owner's other, more formal restaurant that was where Anthony's is now, Steinhof's is always a reliable, good and well-priced meal.

I'm pretty boring when it comes to ordering, so I can only speak to the tomato soup, ham and brie plate, meatloaf sandwich, chicken paprika, goulash, and wiener schnitzel, all of which are great. In the dozens of times I've eaten there, I only had one bad experience, and this was late on a saturday, and they seemed to have some issue with the kitchen that night, as in someone didn't show up for a shift. There is one waiter who can be a prick sometimes, the guy with longish black hair and smarmy demeanor. He really pissed me off once by saying "Look, I'm really busy, so don't call me over if you don't know what you want." I guess that was the second bad experience I've had there.

For those of you who ride the 5 Boro Bike Tour, do yourself a favor and exit off the expressway right by Costco, and ride up to Cafe Steinhof for lunch. Helluva lot better than dealing with Staten Island.

And Babs, racial discrimination, in that area of the Slope? You've got to be joking. Maybe your bf shouldn't be such a beer snob and drink the beer he ordered and was opened for him before he cries wolf.
