The place was small but the white interior, open space and smart arrangements did not make us feel crowded at all.<\/p>\n<p>Jenny&#8217;s Bratwurst and Sauerkraut was generously portioned. The sausage was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Loved those fries: thick, crispy, and delicious with the house made mustard.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_2849-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_2849-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sausage &amp; Sauerkraut @ Bestie\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sausage &amp; Sauerkraut @ Bestie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I ordered the specialty of the house: Currywurst, with the choice of Elk Cumberland saussage.

However I wish I had ordered the fries instead. I paid an extra dollar for a salad intend of fries. Although it was delicious with spinach, dried cranberries, walnuts, and creamy dressing, the salad was rather small.  I left the place still a little hungry.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_2848-0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMG_2848-0.jpg\" alt=\"Elk Cumberland Currywurst @ Bestie\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elk Cumberland Currywurst @ Bestie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Overall I quite enjoyed the food.
