2 stars for the food, add on 1 star for the "brauhaus" experience. Was definitely a little cheesy, but it made me feel like I was back in Germany!
So, the food. I'm afraid of coming off as pretentious when I say this, but............this is not what schnitzel tastes like. *hides*
The schnitzel I had in Germany was thinly breaded, and the one I had at Bayerische had way too much batter and tasted like it had been double fried. It was like eating chicken fried steak. We also ordered some sort of beef stew, which was nicely spiced, but the beef was sooo overcooked. I couldn't finish the dish because my jaw hurt from chewing.
The bf completely enjoyed our dishes, though, so I think I'm just a snob :P I still think this restaurant provides a really fun and unique dining experience in Bryan!
This place is definitely the most authentic German restaurant I've ever been to in B/CS. I'm originally from New Braunfels where everything is German themed, and this place fit with the same decor scheme.
Having been to Germany last Summer I can say this place's food is definitely similar to what I ate over there. Thankfully the Germans discovered how to fry things and I love fried things.
I had the Pork Jägerschnitzel with spätzle and it tasted just like what I ate in Germany. The food coupled with the wood ceiling, large seating booths, and authentic German music made me feel just like I was in Germany in December. That is, until I stepped outside and felt the warm Texas weather.
Our waitress was friendly, the food was authentic, and the decor was unique. Be sure to check this place out if you want something different than TexMex.
