  Why 5 stars? Because it's much cheaper than that time I went to Munich.

  I've always enjoyed German food, so I bookmarked Schiller's quite some time ago, but was just finally able to make it in recently.
  
  Schiller's is certainly more than just a place with German food - it's a full-on deli and somewhat of a convenience store, filled with German snacks.
  
  My wife and I both had our eye on the roast beef sandwich, but it turned out they were out of roast beef. I'm not sure if that's normal due to it's incredible popularity, or if we just caught them at a bad day. Either way, while we were disappointed, fortunately there were a ton of great sandwiches on the menu. I opted for the #1 Schiller's Sandwich with macaroni salad and the wife ordered a Reuben with German potato salad.
  
  I was in love with everything on my plate. While it was a simple sandwich that I could have probably made at home, every bite was perfect. Any sandwich with thousand island and coleslaw on it is usually going to be an easy 5-stars for me and this was no exception. Plus, the macaroni salad was incredibly addicting - the only bad part was that I wished I had more!
  
  I enjoyed a bite or two of my wife's offerings, but I liked mine a lot more. The good thing was that she liked hers more, so anyone who says marriage is hard doesn't know what they're talking about :)
  
  I couldn't help but score some German chocolate before we paid for our food at the end, which I promptly scarfed down most of on the ride home. The (assumed) German woman who checked us out and (assumed) owned the place was super sweet and the type of business owner that you want to support, regardless of how much you enjoy the product. The good news for Schiller's is that I also loved the food!

  There aren't many options for German food in Tampa so by default Schiller's German Delicatessen gets four stars. The food is delicious, the German owners are super friendly, and everything in the deli is very fairly priced considering the items are imported from Europe. The building is dated and is in desperate need of renovations, but I can overlook this since the deli is family owned. I would suggest calling your sandwich order ahead because the service is a little slow.
  
  I always order the bratwurst lunch platter or the bratwurst reuben sandwich and the German potato salad. The grilled bratwurst and tangy sauerkraut are excellent and my toddler can inhale more brats than it seems humanly possible. I want the recipe for the warm German potato salad with crumbled bacon!!!
  
  Side note: if ordering to-go, check your order before leaving. On three separate occasions they have forgotten to add my potato salad to the bag.

  This is a great unassuming little German deli and mart with all kinds of goodies.
  
  I've been here multiple times for lunch, purchased spaetzle to make at home and mini kegs.
  
  All of their products are authentic.  I like the Bavarian sandwich for lunch.  On an onion roll  Pressed.  Usually to go.  ;-)
  
  I do think some items are priced quite high, but for good German beer in a mini keg, the prices are fairly reasonable and for their deli sandwiches, they are priced well and super tasty!

  I lived in Germany for a few years, so I am always looking for a German restaurant, deli, or store when I move to a new city.  Tampa has all three in Schiller's.  They carry all the food products (and more!) that I remember from my time spent in Bavaria, including Dallmayr Prodomo coffee (you have to try it, just once - rich, dark, silky).  They have Rotkohl, they have Spaeztle, they have real Hefeweitzen!   And a full deli!  
  
  Es is das Beste vom Besten!!

  Family owned and operated. What a gem! There's heavy construction in front of their property but it's worth the drive around. I went 2 days in a row and also bought some dry goods to send to my mother for Mother's Day.
  
  Super friendly and their quality of food is a must!!!!
  
  I will be going back.
