My building had a Biergarten fest back in the fall, and had Schnitzelbank do the catering. It was pretty good, though I'm sure hauling it from Jasper may have decreased it's goodness a bit. I'd like to try the restaurant itself.
It's some of the best German food I've had in a while . . . great beers on tap (if I remember, all German imports), authentic dishes, and if you want even more authenticity they'll make it "your way" (eg: adding a fried egg to make any veal dish "a la Holstein").
If you're at the restaurant and look in the back, there is a building even bigger than the (huge) restaurant with around 20 catering trucks surrounding it, ranging from 4 to 6 to 18 wheels!
They also do a mean filet (simply broiled with butter and parsley), smoked pork chop, and fried chicken. They also have an awesome salad bar.
