One afternoon while we were having dinner with my girl's parents,she was talking about this place where they make really good ribs.She says every time she thinks of that place, it makes her mouth water.So i'm like,bbq in Germany?It's a diner that's about an hour and a half drive from their house.I'm game,so when do we go?So last night,my girl called up a couple of her friends,hopped in the van and headed to a small town called Oyten.Mind you my girl and her family live in a city/farm town and once you leave there,it's mostly farm land.Once we reach Bremen we pull off the exit and "Daisy's Diner" is sitting right off the freeway,excuse me autobahn.We pull in to the driveway and it's a pure diner.Afew old classics are parked out front,an black on black mint condition 1970-71 Buick Riviera,an old 40's panel wagon,and a few others,with diners standing outside smoking cigs and talkin cars.We step inside and it feels like a 50's old diner with tunes form the fifties playin,different metal signs adorn the walls such as,Indian,Green River Soda,old Coca Cola signs and more.What's was interesting was the menu.Even thought it was in German,it was completely in english too!Remember we are in a small town in Germany,never thought we would find an american themed 50's diner here!But according to my buddy Jake, there were american bases within 15 miles of here.Everything you could think of is on the menu.Hamburgers,crispy curly fries,giant malt shakes,and of course ribs!Hot dogs,potato wedges,steaks and i mean large steaks!Rib eyes,porterhouse,filet 10/12/14 ounces.Then there are the ribs!Sunday is rib day.There were 5 choices:the Jack "Daniel's" ,Tennessee,Homemade old fashion bbq,Sweet Apple,and The Hot.Your choice of spareribs or beef.We went with Jack Daniels, two apple,and two homemade.Plus with a couple order of fries and a baked potato meal for my girl.While waiting for our food,the drinks come,being nosy on other tables seeing what people are ordering.The plates are big!Be very hungry when you come here.One thing was cool,was the Seattle Seahawks pennant on the wall!SEATTLE REPRESENT!Our food arrives and the plates are big!Basically for 10 euros you get a slab and a half with a tomato cucumber tickle of two slices,two slices of garlic bread, napkins, toothpicks and we dig in.There was one hiccup,only four tiny wet naps came to the table!Sorry you get knocked one point for that!Besides that, the meal was filling.The ribs weren't bad,i like my ribs to fall off the bone but these were pretty good.More than plenty bbq sauce dressed the ribs,the baked potato came with a side of blue cheese dressing,but the salad was a nutty combo,Corn,lettuce,kidney beans,tomatoes,bell peppers and thousand island dressing.Once dinner was done,and a few minutes to relax a bit they ordered ice cream which is the small Ben and Jerry's ice cream with 5 choices.After it was said and done this was a really good meal Now we have a hour half ride back home!
