Reviews
One of my favorite places in the Bay Area. Great family-owned business. My food is always tremendous. The small bar area by the entrance is warm and inviting. The patio is fantastic when the weather turns warm. May wonderful visits over the past 23 years!
Service was great, as staff was very friendly. Mushroom sauce in the schnitzel was amazing. Good selection of sausages in the appetizer. Will definitely dine here again. Atmosphere became more festive the longer we stayed. We opted to eat inside but they had a live band out back.
For a person who is vegetarian and doesn't like beer, I can highly recommend this place (and I will be back). Despite the few options for a vegetarian, you will not miss the food, nor will you leave hungry. In addition to that, there is a wide variety of liquors for your palate. The service is great, and the place is cozy. Just spend a great Friday afternoon (or any day) enjoying its delicious food, drinks, and atmosphere.
Went for Friday night dinner & enjoyed everything we ordered. About 1.5 ltrs of beers, followed by a sausage platter & sauerbraten with pickled red cabbage, sauerkraut & potatoes salad sides. Was a bit pricey ($40+ pp) with the amount of food ordered, but loved the diverse menu, so had to. Wonderful ambience and attentive servers.
This place is a hidden gem for anyone who loves German food/beer. The beer list is fantastic with some great ones on draft to enjoy in .5L or 1L. I sat at the small, perfectly kitschy bar with some regulars and the owner manning the taps. The small plate of boar sausages was tasty. They have a bigger dining area with a totally different feel than the bar and a small outdoor beer garden. The owner even apprenticed in Germany, so you're getting the real deal. Totally recommend for a taste of Germany.
Quite literally walking into Germany here. When we visited Germany, you got these vibes of traditional German both cuisine and overall decor and service, I will attest to that. Munchen I see you! Awesome waitress too, thank you from Canada! Try the schnitzel and sausage (and more).
Probably the best German restaurant in the South Bay. Food is almost always very good. Tonight the schnitzel was a little over done and chewy. The goulash was fantastic and the Octoberfest plate was good.
I love the Bavarian lodge feel and enjoy the beer bar.
Service was and is top notch.
Good choice if food and beer. Pork hog was perfect, but pretzels overcooked. Dog friendly (patio).
