I've been to Brauhaus Schmitz twice so far. Â The first time was as part of a Living Social Beer Tasting Trolley tour and it was a fantastic experience - the owner talked to us and gave us a bunch of cool beer information, the beers they had for us to taste were all great and the snacks we ordered were delicious.
The second time I went (just this past week) was still enjoyable, but not as great of an experience. Â Our beers were awesome (as always - the beer selection here is hard to beat), but the service was a little slow (which was kind of frustrating because it was the middle of a weekday and the place was kind of empty) and we had to ask for a few things more than once because our server forgot about them. Â The food was pretty tasty, but the stars of our meal were definitely the sides and appetizers we ordered - their fries and potato pancakes are always safe bets and the "blue cheese & almond honey" appetizer (served on a thick slice of pumpernickel) is a delicious combination of salty, sweet, creamy and crunchy.
In Philly for the weekend. Â While at Reading Terminal, I discovered the Wursthaus booth, which is affiliated or owned by Brauhaus Schmitz. Â Currywurst for lunch put me in the mood for a German dinner and atmosphere.
The German beer selection is extensive, and they claim the most German-specific beers on tap anywhere. Â I was unfamiliar with most, but my waiter sensed my uncertainty and brought a sampler to try.
For dinner I had two sausages: Bauernwurst and Speckwurst with the spatzle and another side I can't remember. Â All were authentic and delicious.
Atomsphere was also great. Â Tables are close, and the place has an energetic vibe. Â One table was taking jager shots while our close by neighbors were drinking beer from das boot. Â We struck up a conversation with them, much as you would in a German brauhouse. Â
I wish we had a place like this locally. Â Would suggest to anyone interested in visiting Germany for dinner, while in Philly.
My mom and I dined here for lunch on a Friday around 1pm. There was a decent sized crowd and only one waiter who was a superstar. We each had a half liter of the Hofbrau Original, the cheese plate for an appetizer, and shared four wursts and sides between us. Overall a very pleasant and delicious experience!
On the "kaseplatte", there was a Limburger, Camembert, a Stilton, and something hard and bitey. I most enjoyed the pine nut and honey spread, sweet and nutty. As well as the Hungarian paprika onion spread, sweet and smokey.
It's hard to choose favorites, but my mom and I admitted we liked the Ungarischewurst the best. It's description reads "Hungarian paprika, red wine vinegar, and garlic", and you could certainly taste all of these. The Bratwurst was probably the most recognizable of flavors, with caraway and majoram. Speckwurst is made with bacon, and Baurenwurst with beef.
I definitely recommend getting the sauerkraut, it's a traditional side for a reason, it pairs so nicely with the wursts, a little bit with each bite. The Kartoffelpuffer, or potato pancake was dense, in a good way, and not greasy. The Rotkohl, red cabbage, was sweet and delicious, again it pairs nicely with the wursts. And personally, I usually could take or leave Spatzle, which is sort of a noodle dough riced into little nubs, but this was also very tasty.
I've been to Brauhaus twice for dinner, back before I was Yelpin' and have nothing bad to say about either of those experiences - good food, large portions, tons of great beer, helpful waitresses and waiters. For a more recent recap, yesterday my boo and I went for a little Sunday Funday action in the early evening for some beer and snacks. We sat at a table at the bar and ordered some brewskis from the bartender who was also our server. Â One thing I love about Brauhaus is the fact that they use the authentic glassware for all of the different beers which is very cool. We needed some beer munchies so we got a soft pretzel, red beet eggs, and the sauerkraut fritters. I love the mustards that come with the large delicious pretzel, the red beet eggs are always good, but those sauerkraut fritters - man, were they a perfect compliment to the dunkel weissen, I can't remember or pronounce the beer that I was enjoying but it was great and the bartender remembered it for me! Â The staff here is always nice and helpful if you have questions about the beers or the food, willing to give suggestions, and all though sometimes service is a bit on the slow side I believe it's typically because of how busy it tends to be here especially on the weekends or when there's a Union game. I love the Brauhaus and will definitely be returning again soon! :)
Review Source:Rating this based on drinks, atmosphere and service... didn't try any food.
Awesome extensive beer list... literally a whole book of em. Â got a liter of one of their dunkel hefe-weizens and sampled a few others... great selection to choose from.
The wait staff is very friendly and thoroughly trained on knowing the menu (at least for the drinks it seemed). Â Huge place with tons of long tables and a good size bar area. Â There's some different gaming areas, darts, etc which are off to the sides so they don't interfere with seating areas. Â Great spot.
Awfully pricey for the product. Somewhat barn-like atmosphere, oppressively noisy because every surface is acoustically bouncy. I'm guessing this place is more than 85dB on a slow night. This is probably a conscious decision by management to make the place feel "lively." Indifferent waitstaff and noticeably slow delivery on food orders on a not particularly busy evening. Authentically northern European in that it substitutes quantity for quality in the food department.But the brats were pretty tasty and the spaetzle a step above passable. That said, at these prices the food needs to be at least a step above this level. As expected, wide beer variety and good quality though not particularly good value, once again. Can't think what would bring me back here.
Review Source:I know very little about German cuisine, but I am always up for something new. Â Brauhaus Schmitz has a number of fine beers to select from, most of which I cannot pronounce. Â When I went they were specializing in sour beers, which is not something I go for, but was able to fine two beers that fit my palate. Â
For an appitizer I ordered the potato pancakes with apple sauce and sour cream and my significant other had the hungarian goulash. Â Both were terrific, and would make a good snack if you were just getting drinks. Â For dinner I had two sausages (one with bacon and the other with pork and beef) with the spatzle and kartoffelsalat (german potato salad). Â The potato salad was the star here, the sausages were very salty. Â This was my first time trying spatzle, and I thought that it tasted like scrambled eggs. Â I got to try the schaschlik as well, which I like far more than my own meal, though I thought the fries were a bit of a throw away. Â I would have much prefered this dish with two sides like the wurst.
Service was a bit slow, but it was very busy on a Friday night, and we knew what we were getting into.
All in all, I plan to go again. Â Now armed with a little bit of knowledge about German food, I will order some new dishes (except for the potato pancakes, those are to stay).
Awesome beer list, waitresses in cute barmaid outfits, and cool beer mugs. This is a great place to go to try a bunch of different beers you've never heard of, and maybe some you have heard of. Sadly it can be a bit expensive, and they don't tell you when you come in that happy hour is only at the bar (you can't get it at the tables). Also, they apparently don't have a license to sell beer for you to take home, so if you want to buy some interesting beers as a gift or if you find an awesome beer you want to have again later you will be sadly disappointed. This place would gain some serious points if they got a license to sell their bottles of beer to take home. As it currently is though, I don't think I would return.
Review Source:This place is amazing!!!! Despite me falling on my butt ( thanks stilettos) everything about this place is AWESOME!!! The waiters there were beyond helpful and patient with me as i asked them for opinions, suggestions, moon positioning, everything.
Im not much of a beer drinker but after going here i can see myself becoming quite the beer maid. The food was amazing,fast, easy, no fuss. I will defiantly be coming back.
the potato pancakes were fantastic as was the red cabbage. Â i didn't try any of the sausages but the person next to me at the bar ordered some and they looked amazing. Â this was my first time in philadelphia and brauhaus was only 3 blocks from the concert venue i was going to. Â i would definitely come back and try more stuff from their menu.
and the bartender was hot. Â that always helps.
Super. Â
The German draft beer selection is incredible.
The food was very good. Â The kroketten were delicious, and the wife and I got the "butcher's plate for two".
When the plate arrived, I laughed. Â The mound of meat and sausage on the plate was better suited for a party of 4 than 2. :) It was excellent though. Â The sausages were tasty, the pork shank was flavorful, and the pork chop was juicy and delicious. Â It was great nibbling on the meat as we downed our beer, and at the end of the night, we had a 5 pound bag of meat to take home. Â
Service was great, beer was great, atmosphere was top-notch. Â Great place for a fun dinner out. Â If beer is your thing, this place is great. Â If german food is your thing, this place is great. Â If loads of meat with beer is your thing, this place is incredible.
Great for beer. Â Not so great for food. Â
The beer selection is extensive and the waiters and bartenders are very well educated on the beers. Â They provide great recommendations.
The sausages I have tasted on various occasions at Brahaus have been kind of dry. Â The fries they had were actually quite delicious and I liked the curry mayo (is that German?!) Â The other side dishes I have tried are just so-so, kind of bland.
This is one of the only non-trashy bars along the South Street corridor, so if you find yourself near 7th and South, it is definitely worth checking out for drinks... and although I'm not impressed with the food, it's probably better than a lot of other options in close proximity too! ha.
We brought my father here for a birthday meal yesterday after a long day touring Eastern State.  The food and service were exceptional as was the beer and our server's knowledge of the menu, attentiveness and recommendations for drinks.  I had an issue with one of my dishes not being quite as I ordered and they removed it from the bill,  no questions asked.  I never complain in restaurants and was not expecting anything, yet they really went above and beyond for me when they didn't have to.  Aside from that minor hiccup, everything was truly outstanding and the restaurant itself is so cozy and welcoming,  I could spend a whole afternoon here.  I will be back as soon as I can with more of the family and recommend highly.  The currywurst appetizer is  fantastic!
Review Source:I squealed when I got the menu. It was all the food I grew up with and it was pretty darn good. My boyfriend was a bit overwhelmed by the menu, so I can see someone not being familiar with traditional German food having a hard time picking out something they may like. I was a little disappointed by the Spätzel but the Wurtz Platte was terrific. I stuck with the lighter beers, but will definitely be heading back to sample some more. There is so much to choose from! The only downside was the noise, but that's how beer halls go.
Review Source:This place delves deeper into the traditional German cookbook than any restaurant I've visited in the U.S. Â Of course Brauhaus Schmitz serves standards like schnitzel (thin pork cutlet breaded and fried), sauerkraut and spaetzle (home-made pasta bits). Â But they have fleishsalat (literally meat salad), which is chunks of a mild sausage tossed with tomatoes and a viniagrette, served with good dark bread. Â Cheap, delicious totally authentic country food. Â They also have Schweinehaxe, a long-cooked pork shank, sort of like an osso bucco but of course pig, you never see that anywhere. Â It's a real treat to see these old-world, old-school classics!
The list of beers on tap ("Bier vom Fass") is jaw dropping astonishing for the diversity. Â Unfiltered Hofbraeuhaus "Traunstein Zwickel"? Â You'll be hard pressed to find this wonderfully cloudy lager in a bottle and here's it freshly tapped and so, so tasty. Â Weihenstephaner Kristall-Weizen? Â It's difficult to find a crystal-clear filtered wheat beer even in good beer stores, and here you're can drink frothy glasses of it straight from the keg. Â The list includes beers from North Germany (Jever), the Ruhrgebiet (Frueh Koelsch), Â the widely distributed Warsteiner pils and Koestritzer dark, plus a very large selection from Bavaria including Hacker-Pschorr. Â Not to mention a few American craft beers that are done in the German style including Ramstein Maibock and Schneider-Brooklyner. Â Have I dropped enough names? Â Have I bored you yet? Â I want to try every one. Â Repeatedly. Â And the beer list is why I have to give five stars despite imperfections elsewhere.
Pretzel is a relative steal at just $4. Â Sauerkraut was perfectly cooked until tender, not stinky or crunchy. Â Fries with curry ketchup were bliss.
We visited during the Spring and they had Spargel (white asparagus) on the menu! Â This is another classic that's just never seen in the U.S. Â Our order of Spargel with Hollendaise sauce was good but the sauce was cooked to the point that it thickened into almost cheese sauce, still tasty but a little goofy.
They promise Nuremberger bratwurst here, by the half meter ($15) or meter. Â Well, it's sorta kinda good. Â Forgive my bias, sausages sold on the street in Nuremberg on a roll are what Americans would call breakfast sausage, little fingers. Â Here at Brauh. Sch. these sausages are not as fat as classic bratwurst but nowhere near as small the name promises, our were slightly miscooked with a tough (instead of snappy, crispy) skin.
One notable miss was the schaschlik, skewers of pork in a spicy hungarian red sauce. Â The sauce was outstanding, spicy, yummy. Â But the meat was alternately ridiculously fatty or so overdone it was leather, notably overpriced at $19.
The dessert selection is woefully inadequate. Â A Schwarzwaelder Kirschtorte was chocolately, creamy and tasty but lacked all trace of Kirschwasser (cherry schnapps), basically a reinterpretation. Â I want Dampfknudel mit Vanillesoesse! Â Alas, not on the menu but maybe if everyone asks repeatedly .. Â :)
Prices are kinda high, but if you drink at the bar 5-7 every beer is just $4. That helped a lot.
Friendly barkeep, and there's plenty of soccer on the big TVs if you are a fan.
How do I justify a full five stars considering all my bitching about the food? Â You're right to ask. Â The beers are just that good. Â
Look for the big quiet dining room and bar in the back!
Every experience i have had at Brauhaus Schmitz has been a good one. With bundesliga on the tele and whatever Dunkel they have on tap, im a happy camper, usually camping at the bar. Their small plates are all delicious, and with in haus sausage making and cured meats its a good bet you wont be disappointed either. That is unless your a vegetarian.
Review Source:Good beer selection, but the food is less than satisfactory. I went with a real German and she said that this place was sub-par.
Went with a huge party and all the fried cutlets tasted the same, the fried sauerkraut was extremely salty. None of the food was exceptionally good and are all mediocre.
A place where you can get wurst by the meter and beer by the liter. I think that is all that needs to be said.
Get a half liter of beer, a Pretzel and some roll mops and watch the Union game at the bar or stay for a whole crispy fried pork shank with kraut and a potato dumping.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Philly.
Alright, Yelp, I'm going to be honest with you: Â The first time I went to Brauhaus Schmitz about two years ago, I was beyond disappointed and vowed to never go back. Â A lot of the beers were not available and the food was mediocre. Â I really didn't want to go back, like, ever, which made me sad because I really wanted to like it.
But, here we are two years later and I'm giving you four stars. Â You've won me over and you might see me again on Thursday. Â Yes, I said it - I'm coming back for more!
The restaurant is absolutely enormous since the recent rennovations/expansion, so it was easy to get a seat when we walked in on a Thursday night. Â The menu is overwhelming in a good way, so you should be able to find what you're looking for (if what you're looking for is German food). Â Flipping to the back of the menu is the impressive beer listing. Â My boyfriend and I ordered two beers that we couldn't pronounce, and they were delicious and came out in huge mugs. Â I mean, what more could you want? Â Oh you want a plate of meat? Â No problem! Â We ordered the butcher's plate for two which can only be described as meat heaven. Â The order came out on a large cutting board and included sauerkraut, a smoked pork chop, pork shank (amazing), some different types of "wursts," and potato pancakes. Â For the $32 price tag, this was a TON of food for the two of us, which, of course, we finished completely. Â Sadly, there was no room for dessert :(
One other comment I have to include is how amazing the servers are here.  I forget the name of the gentleman we had, but he was really good.  He knew his beer, he knew his German food, and, more importantly, he could pronounce everything on the menu without issue.  My only gripe is that  if I had to hear how authentically German he was one more time, I probably would have said something.
So, Brauhaus Schmitz, you've made a believer out of me. Â I'll see you soon :)
Before visiting Brauhaus Schmitz, my favorite German restaurants were in Asheville, NC and Portsmouth, VA. After two visits to Brauhaus Schmitz, I have to say it is my new fav German restaurant in the US. The layout of the restaurant is very warm and has a fun beer hall feel to it. Try and make a reservation before coming because we had to wait 45 minutes and didn't get a table until after 9 pm.
Our server was very engaging and helped recommend certain beers and schnapps. It was my first time trying Kummel which was pretty tasty - the Helbing variety was quite smooth. The weinerschnitzel is done perfectly and you can't miss out the spaetzel.
Warning to those adventurous beer drinkers....do not drink the Rauchbier voted "Top 50" in Mens magazine - it tastes like bacon. Unless you like beer that tastes like smoked bacon...
I'm going to have to go against the grain here, because this place was just not my jam.
Their beer list seems to be pretty authentically German, which means you're looking at $7+ for a lot of beers. This definitely isn't a $4 Kenzinger type place. I got a $6.50 Hefeweizen which was a Hefeweizen ('nuff said) and the boyfriend got the liter of the house brew (which is a light beer like Budweiser) and got a kick out of the huge mug. In contrast to other reviewers' experiences, the server definitely didn't take time to walk us through the slightly complicated beer menu or make suggestions and was more like "drafts start on this page."
They start you out with white and dark (rye? pumpernickle?) breads with herbed butter and two mustards: a true yellow and a sweet whole-grain. This was nice. Both of us had enjoyed unbelievably delicious bratwurst in Germany, so hoping this would be the real deal we went with the house made Nürnberg style bratwurst. Also, in a metric system fail, we opted for $28 "for two" meter-long portion. The server assured us this was good for two.
This thing was a beast. For the metrically challenged, this is three plus feet of sausage. The table next to us actually said "holy crap" when it arrived. Good for two? Really? We would have been just fine with the half meter.
Aside from the ridiculous size it was not tasty--more like a breakfast sausage without that customary bratwurst kick. I have enjoyed better Johnsonvilles. Let's not lie, I have professed love to a hot-off-the-grill Johnsonville on a bun. The spaetzle was a bit like scrambled eggs without salt and the kartoffelpuffer (potato pancake with sour cream) was delish. I never bad mouth fried potatoes.
$58 later, and enough leftover sausage to feed a construction crew, I left unimpressed.
Stopped in on a Friday night on a trip into town. I could see this place being a really fun Sunday fun day or Saturday day drinking type of spot, or possibly happy hour if you want lower key.
Nonetheless, good spot for crafty or foreign beers. I had the wheat beer and a friend had the pilsner -- both good. Want to try more from their extended list next time around.
Kitchen was closed when I was there (later) so can't speak to food. Will try next time I'm back in town.
Kommen für das Bier. Bleiben für mehr Bier.
Brauhas Schmitz is hands down my favorite German bar/restaurant in America. They have everything from an amazing beer on draft and delicious German cuisine. Every time I have been to Philly this place has been a must on my list. No matter what I do I have to make it to the start happy hour. Schmitz has my favorite happy hour special. Each time I'm there I have to try as many new beers as I can. In addition to the great beer, the food is also just as amazing. German food is some of my favorite food and they have the best around. If this place had currywurst then I would by a plane ticket right now.
This is the perfect place in you're a beer lover or lover of large plates of meat (of which I am both).
The quality of food at Brauhaus really surprised me. I was expecting something a notch above bar food and instead I received an absolutely delicious meal complemented by a fantastic beer selection.
I do believe, dare I say it, that their soft pretzel is the best I've had in Philly (I loved the spicy mustard too). The Gemüsespätzle was fantastic. My boyfriend got the Sauerbraten and said it was the most authentic (and tasty) version he's had outside of Germany.
Thanks for classing up the bar scene, Brauhaus!
If I wanted to pay a ridiculous amount of money for a beer and a brat, I'd take the trip to Munich. Â
The prices in this place rival any average bar in New York City. Â Expect to pay upwards to $40 for a couple of beers and a brat here. Â
And if the owner ever takes a look at this, you're on South Street in Philadelphia. Â I can get $2 tacos and pierogis a block down the street. Â No wonder every time I go in there it's only about 1/4 full.
This review is for restaurant week.
What's better than a liter of beer and huge portions of goulash, potato pancakes, and sausage? Not much! Had a fun experience here for restaurant week. The menu was a bit limited since their regular menu is so so large, so I felt a bit limited but was not completely disappointed. I ordered the hungarian goulash. Not like goulash you can get abroad. It resembled more of a what I called, "a european chili." I also got the kale salad which was a huge like! I don't think I've ever had just plain kale in a salad before but it was so good. It had a roasted garlic dressing, thin red onions, and shaved smoked gouda.
I was disappointed with the sausage selections my table got (weisswurst, bratwurst, and baurenwurst) . Overall I felt they were relatively flavorless and demanded some serious mustard attention. This is in comparison to the sausages you can get at Frankford Hall which comes from Ilg's Butcher shop where the sausages are unbelievable. I am looking forward to going back again and getting the house sausage and others that were not available on the restaurant week menu.
The Braushaus Housbrau was very good. Easy to drink and great to wash down the food :)
Wait just a minute. You (yelp) mean to tell me that in the almost two years that I have lived across the street from this fine fine establishment/in the almost four years that I have been frequenting this fine fine establishment, I have not once...EVER....written a review? Just how drunk am...wait a minute...I'm going to stop right there.
Brauhaus Schmitz has got all the German wunder going on. From the kitchen comes a ridiculous selection of wursts, of which the bauernwurst is easily my favorite and can now be found on a roll topped with slaw at Wursthaus Schmitz at the terminal market. Pair your wurst with some kraut (I wish I could fill my bathtub with the stuff) or German potato salad so reminiscent of my grandmothers it at times makes me want to cry, and pull your meal together with one or five...or ten (then die) of Brauhaus's neverending rotating beers on tap. Get the boot! Get the boot! Or at the very least a liter, go big or go home, this is not a place to wimp out.
Happy hour here? One of the best in the city. All beer on tap is $4, two Paulaner Salvator's and I'm ready to say goodnight. The staff? Amazing. The boy bartenders are friendly and super cute, the waitresses are always looking perky in their traditional dirndls and big...uh....smiles, the kitchen staff: Jeremy, Henrik, and you Ritter! plus the rest are cranking out some awesome awesome food, and Marci...have you met her? Sweet as pie. My neighbors are regulars, fellow yelper John F. had his daughter's zero birthday here, and you're more often than not guaranteed to run into someone you know here regardless the time of day because it's just that kind of spot.
With the addition of the Brauer Bund and it's beautiful tree bar allowing more room especially on those really crowded nights, this is hands down one of my favorite South Street neighbors and will continue to have me visiting time and time again.
TLDR: Huge beer selection, authentic food, bustling ambience, slightly overpriced, but justified for a great German experience!
Spending a summer in Germany has (to the dismay of my friends) made me a big beer snob. The beer selection here is the best I've seen outside of Germany. In fact, even in Germany, I've never seen so many available in one place. Appropriately sold in 0.5 or 1 liter mugs, this visit more than satisfied my cravings for rich dark German beer.
I personally prefer the any of the Dunkels (Hofbrau, etc.) for a deep malty flavor or the Warsteiner if you like flavor development. If you prefer a lighter beer, Franziskaner Hefeweizen (wheat beer) is lovely though not my cup of tea. For an intense Belgium beer experience, try the Delirium Tremens from the infamous Delirium in Brussels (or the ever-popular Duvel). Ask your server - they are so much more knowledgeable than me!
The food here is adequately varied with an authentic selection, but I found it to be overpriced. Luckily drinking beer by the liter means your entree will be more than enough to fill you up. The würst ($16) were good (I especially recommend the Ungarischewurst - slightly spicy and very delicious). Of course you can't go wrong with käsespätzle (similar to a German version of mac & cheese, to put it crudely -- but so much better), but $15 for such a basic dish was a bit a of a stretch. The kartoffelknödel (potato dumpling) side was dreadfully tasteless -- not far off from eating a ball of yeast.
The atmosphere was everything you could ever want in a German pub -- the air of a Bavarian beer hall minus some of the ruckus plus a pinch of refinement. Come here with any beer enthusiast, or just to enjoy some hearty German grub. You can't go wrong. On occasion, shelling out a little more for an authentic German experience is worth it.
After researching authentic German restaurants, I chose Brauhaus Schmitz to take my step-mom to. She is from Germany and over the holidays I wanted to bring a little bit of home to her. First, we found amazing parking on South St, nothing to do with the review, but certainly a nice way to start the night. We decided to have a coupe drinks at the bar before dinner. My family went with Warsteiner and I tried the Konig Ludwig Weissbier, De-lish. I love wheat beers, so I had a few of these.
My father and Iordered the jagerschnitzel with the cucumber salad and spatzle. I was impressed with my meal. It was a little on the salty side, but overall it was great. My fiance ordered some wurst. He wasn't overly impressed and thought it was really bland. My step-mom ordered the Zigeunerschnitzel. It was spicy and full of flavor. Â My step mom was pleased with the meal, of course nothing is ever as good as mom's home cooking, but she thought the flavors were authentic.
Wow. It's been too long since I ate real sausage. I've been subsiding  on Morningstars and I forgot what real meat tasted like.
We went here in October and during restaurant week-it was packed at 7 on a Wed. We were seated fairly quickly though. Â I enjoyed the potato pancakes and the Bavarian pretzel but the sausages are what really made the visit. Â The knackworst and the bratwurst were amazing. Â
The only downside-I'm not a beer drinker and the drink menu is obviously very beer-centric but disappointing for us wine and cocktail girls.
Brauhaus Schmitz is a charming, warm, slightly upscale pub in the heart of an otherwise touristy/trashy South St. district. Its a great place to day drink, hang out, have lunch, and chat with locals.
My friend and I happened to walk in for lunch at the same time as a VERY large party with a reservation so we were given the choice of sitting at the bar, or upstairs, but if we sat upstairs "we'd probably have to wait a while for service cause it would take our server a long time to get up there"....um.....OK.
Naturally we sat at the bar benches which were pretty uncomfortable. Our waiter was very charming, even if he did for get our order. We mused over the numerous sausage offerings and sides and the crazy list of beer!
We both ordered winter themed brews with some sausages and sides. The saurkraut was maybe the best I've ever had. The latke, not so much, but I am picky about latkes, and this one was SMOTHERED in sour cream which was a little much.
My friend got the potato salad which was KILLER. We were both pleased with our selection of sausages with homemade mustard (we both got the knockwurst and bratwurst).
I would definitely come back, just would probably opt for a bar stool rather than the bar bench. Plus I really want to try the pretzels, they looked great!
