German roots
The menu stays focused on recognizable German comfort food, from schnitzel to currywurst.
The real story · established May 2025
Two people. One truck. A very loud crunch.
Erhard and Angela Koch brought the food they knew in Germany to Fayetteville—and local readers made Schnitzelhouse their top food-truck pick.

Erhard + Angela Koch
New to Fayetteville. Not new to the food.
According to The Fayetteville Observer, Erhard and Angela Koch relocated from Germany shortly before opening Schnitzelhouse in May 2025. The menu began with the foods that need little explaining once they hit the table: pork schnitzel, German potato salad, currywurst, and a Schnitzel Burger built for two hands.
Just over one year later, in June 2026, Schnitzelhouse became the top pick in the Observer’s survey of Fayetteville-area food-truck fans. Readers singled out the currywurst, Jägerschnitzel, fries, and Schnitzel Burger—and repeatedly praised the hospitality at the window.
That is the whole idea: German comfort food without theater. Freshly prepared food, direct flavors, and a welcome that feels personal.
