Erhard + Angela Koch

Germany raised it. Fayetteville made it home.

Erhard and Angela Koch relocated from Germany shortly before opening Schnitzelhouse in May 2025. In a little over a year, the truck became the top reader pick in a city that knows food trucks.

This is straightforward German comfort food: crisp schnitzel, rich mushroom sauce, currywurst, fresh sides, and the kind of hospitality people remember after the tray is empty.
