Came here with a large party because some wanted to try the Danish buffet to sample multiple styles of food. They did offer a lunch portion and for dinner which was nice since we were rather full from enjoying other Solvang treats! I had the meatball plate which seemed well prepared but not a style of food I enjoy. The... More

I only had the ebleskiver to go so I can't really comment on the atmosphere and overall service but the taste alone. What I can say is....really? What is all the hype about it? The donut didn't have any special texture nor taste. The raspberry jam couldn't be more ordinary. Many deep fried pastries can easily beat the ebleskiver I... More

This restaurant does not deserve a visit. My wife and I have lived in Sweden and Denmark, so we know a little about Scandinavian food, and this place ain't it. Smorgasbord was sad, so we passed on that. My wife ordered a lamb shank which was flooded with the same gravy that they put on the meatballs! I ordered the... More

Met some friends for a Saturday get together. It was a little crowded, there were eight of us, but we only had a short wait. It was my first visit to the Red Viking, neat place. Food is good and reasonable. I had to try the Æbleskivers (hey, it's a round pancake), they were pretty good. Overall a good place... More

I stopped at the visitor's center and they recommended the Red Viking for variety and the Bit O' Denmark for atmosphere. I was interested in variety so I went to the Red Viking. The Smorgasbord was pretty typical with filler items. but the pickled herring was delicious, the pates were tasty and meatballs were a bit on the salty side.... More

Very good pea with ham soup and great signature desert. Good service, feels like local dinner. You can get desert only from the window outside as well.

My wife and I wanted to try a Danish meal on our visit to Solvang. Our waitress was patient and suggested the various choices on the menu. We had, respectively, the Danish meatballs (mashed potatoes with gravy and red cabbage) and a combination of Danish sausage and meatballs (also served with mashed potatoes, gravy, and red cabbage). We never had... More

Nice service, but the food was average on taste and how it was cooked. My schnitzel was overcooked and it was like chewing rubber. My husbands pork chop was not as tough, but not the best. They need to pay attention to their cooking. Not the best.

Took the trolley ride earlier and learned this restaurant had a smorgasbord. Have to say I had to talk my husband into eating here as he was thinking of much safer "American" type food! LOL Our waitress was very helpful, pointing out exactly what everything on the smorgasbord was. It was fun to try some different entres, salads, appetizers and... More
