Eckhard's

Last night, Chris and I went to Eckhard's for supper. We first heard about this great German restaurant from our friend Charlotte in Orlando. When she learned we would be stopping at TTN Chesapeake Bay for a few days on the way back to Ontario, Charlotte insisted we try this fabulous German restaurant closeby. Only problem was, she couldn't remember the name of it!

We arrived here on Friday and immediately asked local staff if they had heard of such a restaurant. Nobody had! Now Chris had been drooling all the way from Orlando to Chesapeake Bay, dreaming of her favourite German meal, "weiner schnitzel, schpetzel und salate", so we just had to find this place!! Terry has been the manager at this park for many years and she came through for us. Name and phone number supplied in a voice mail. Excellent and thank you Terry!! We called for a reservation on our way to Colonial Williamsburg. As she hung up the phone, I could tell from the smile on Chris's face
that we were in for 6 pm last night.

Eckhard's is located at 2700 Grey's Point Rd, Topping, VA. Telephone 804-758-4060. About 30 minutes north of TTN Chesapeake Bay. Their fare includes "German, Italian and Other Fine Foods". All dishes are entirely homemade. Chris indeed had her schnitzel with all the trimmings. I had the "schweine maxen" or pork leg special, which was fabulous. Done to perfection and it just fell from the bone. Servings were large so we did not leave hungry and served piping hot. In fact, it was a chore for us to eat it all. We both shared an apfel strudel a la mode for dessert. What a great evening!!! Eckhard's was busy when we got there and was getting even busier when we left at 7 pm.

Well done Charlotte! Thanks for a great tip!!
