Gasthaus Zur Elli
A local favorite, this German restaurant is located in the heart of Prosperity, South Carolina. The locals consider the eatery and the proprietor, Ms. Wendy, a gem. This quaint restaurant has limited seating so reservations are required. Dress is casual along with the atmosphere. Expect to spend two hours at dinner. Salad and dessert are included with the meal. There is no menu at Gasthaus Zur Elli. Instead your server will present the seven to eight specials being served that evening. It is like having your very own personal chef.

Julia's German Stammtisch
On the outside, the only thing German about this hole in the wall restaurant is the lederhosen adorned cartoon-like characters painted on the windows. However, once inside patrons are immediately greeted with a warm smile and cozy atmosphere, feeling as if they are stepping into a loved one's home, rather than a place of business. Julia boasts to have the best schnitzel you will ever have short of Germany. Save room for Julia's famous Butter Cream Torte. She prepares her famous cake on Wednesday or Thursday. The torte sells fast, so stop in early. Tip: Julia's German Stammtisch only takes cash, so plan ahead!
