DeLand's hidden gem serving homemade German favorites and legendary prime rib for nearly 50 years. Where every guest becomes family.
What started as a cozy neighborhood lounge founded by Bill & Emmy has blossomed into DeLand's most beloved destination for authentic German cuisine. After Bill's passing in 1980, Emmy carried on their dream—opening Nashville Station, then Southern Lights, before returning to her roots.
In 1995, Emmy reopened the restaurant at Time Out Tavern, bringing her legendary recipes and warm hospitality back home. Today, with her son Mark by her side, Emmy still greets guests personally, ensuring everyone feels like family the moment they walk through the door.
Our secret? Everything is homemade with love—from the freshly baked bread to the tender Sauerbraten that's been marinated for days. This is German comfort food the way Oma used to make it.
From crispy schnitzels to tender sauerbraten, every dish is crafted with authentic German recipes passed down through generations.
More than just a restaurant—it's where memories are made and traditions continue.
Every meal starts with our warm, homemade bread—baked fresh daily.
Warsteiner and other authentic imports served ice cold.
Emmy herself greets guests—you're family from the first visit.
