Schnitzel Haus

Excellent place for a family dinner. Well thought out beer menu and authentic German menu. Will become a regular!

I came here with a friend and it was my first time trying German food. I can't remember everything we ordered because my friend took the lead on that but I know for sure we ordered the schnitzel and it was really good. The waiters and the managers were so helpful and kind. We stayed near closing and they were very generous about it however for their sake I wish we got out a little bit earlier. I just think they were so sweet. I definitely recommend, and considering it's close at home I plan to go back frequently. The prices were definitely affordable, however because we ordered quite a few drinks and appetizers the bill came out around $120 which is really great considering the portion sizes. Definitely stop by if you're in the area.

This is as close as it gets to the authentic "Bier Halle" experience (at least in Bay Ridge). The cuisine is unashamedly German (depending on your tastes this could be a negative or a positive :-) and the choice of German beers is truly impressive (I mean, real German beers, not "brewed in Brooklyn, tastes somewhat like German"). Overall, highly recommended (even though your nutritionist might not approve).

Update: after such a nasty response by the owner I highly doubt we will be back. Good food, nice service but somewhat slow taking into account that there were no other customers at the restaurant. The place only accepts cash. Who carries so much cash with them these days? It was a big group of us and it was extremely annoying that we had to run to an ATM machine in order to pay for our meal. You can always add an option to use a credit card for additional fees instead of having your customers run to an ATM machine after having a meal or let them know ahead of time that this is a cash only place so they don't feel trapped.

I had dinner with my friend. The house spiced cider was perfect, highly recommend you try that. We ordered beef goulash and potato leek soup; they were delicious and big serving size too. For the entrees, we got the pork tenderloin and pork schnitzel; one entree was enough to feed two people. The sauce was delicious, just a bit too much salt on the meat for me. Customer service was wonderful. Definitely give this place a try if you want German food.

The food is pretty good. Love the sausages and Schnitzel. The beer selection was great. Atmosphere is pretty nice and comfortable. The service was OK considering it was just the bartender doing everything (she was great though).

This was my first time trying German food, and it was definitely an acquired taste for me. I ordered the chicken paprika, and I found myself liking it more with each bite. It did take a while to come out, but the menu mentioned that it takes longer to prepare. Unfortunately, there was a band playing that made the experience less enjoyable. The vocal mic was way too loud, and honestly, I’m not sure who told the singer he could sing. On top of that, when it came time to pay, I was told it was cash-only, which confused me. I didn’t see any cash-only signs, and the menu clearly states there's a 4% non-cash adjustment fee, so I knew I could use my card for payment. Plus, there was a lit credit card machine at the register. When I asked the server (who I believe is the owner's wife) if it was a cash-only night, she said it’s always cash-only. I’m not sure if that’s true, but I didn’t want to make a fuss, especially with the loud singer. I just went to get cash and paid. I don’t think I’ll be returning to this place.

the food is tasty, (soft drinks are flat and tasting kinda off but who cares) but the poor service and long wait for even getting the menu is ruining it all. Then it's only cash (it's 2023 so that's kinda weird) and there is a fee if one wants to share a dish (kinda funny for a German restaurant to be so controlling but whatever) so all in all the great food tasted sour because the place only seems to welcome some but not all guests.
