Strongly recommend the sausage and the root beer. The sausage is perfectly seasoned and tender, and paired with some sauerkraut it’s juicy and full of flavor. The root beer has a unique aroma, when you drink it, it really feels like having an actual beer. Joseph is also very warm and genuine, and the atmosphere is special and distinctive. I really loved this place. Highly recommended!

During my first visit to San Antonio with my wife and daughter, while attending an oncology conference, I had the pleasure of discovering this wonderfully authentic German diner. For much of the trip it was just my daughter and me, and this restaurant quickly became a place of comfort and consistency for us.
From the very beginning, the service was truly impeccable. We were warmly greeted and seated right away by a friendly host, and our server, Clarissa, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She was attentive, thoughtful, and especially considerate in offering menu suggestions suitable for my 13-month-old daughter. My baby absolutely loved the cornbread and the split pea soup—both were clear favorites.
We were so appreciative of the outstanding service and inviting atmosphere that we returned multiple times over the course of four to five days. This diner made our stay in San Antonio even more memorable, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Great Place for a hearty, or healthy, meal! Food fabulous. Root beer, and adult versions, really good. Anten our server was the best. Come back here every time I’m in San Antonio.

The food here was simply fantastic! The potato pancakes were flavorful and the apple sauce that came with them was not Mott’s lol it was legit fresh ground/grated apples. The pastrami Reuben was incredible and the dressing served with it put it over the top. Don’t forget about a root beer! Service was fast and friendly, I’ll be back! I highly recommend passing up all the tex-mex on the river walk and coming here!

Fantastic place to get breakfast in the San Antonio Riverwalk area. You have to try the root beer float! My daughter got the regular root beer float and I got the adult root beer float with alcohol and it was delicious!
I ordered one of the breakfast plates and added a brat for an additional $3. The food was really good but the root beer float was the real treat!
Really cool location with a lot of character and history. Definitely a unique spot and a must when visiting the San Antonio area. Keep in mind they serve breakfast all day but close relatively early.

This is a casual, friendly and affordable German deli style diner.
The portions are good. The service was great.
My husband and I were visiting from NYC and here is our feedback about each menu item we ordered:
Deviled eggs: 6/10 (needed flavor)
Potato pancake: 7/10
Roast beef with gravy: 6/10
Red cabbage: 7/10
Cheesy spatzle: 6/10
Meatloaf:8/10
Sweet potatoes: 8/10
Root beer: 10/10
Overall it was a GOOD experience. Not great but we would come back if we’re in the area.
We loved the scriptures on their menu and the fact that it’s owned by a Vet. Thank you for your service! God bless you.

LOVED it!!!! Everything was fantastic! Our server was the BEST. We never had to ask for anything. Our food truly was amazing. Pretzel with beer butter. Pancakes, potato cakes, waffle, sausage, and chicken and biscuits. The gravy is perfect! You must try the root beer, served in a cold mug with the frost on top! So good! I want to go back ….now!

We were looking for somewhere for lunch that reminded us of our trip to Germany. This was it! The food was terrific, the service was top notch, and the prices were fair.
We started with the sampler and our party of 5 obliterated it almost immediately. The pretzel was the perfect temperature and size. The meats were all cooked to perfection.
I had the schweineschnitzel. The outside was crunchy and the inside was moist. The sides were good but the pork was the absolute star.
We didn’t realize they closed so early so they did start cleaning up around us but every staff member was so kind and insisted that we weren’t an inconvenience and that they had to be there to clean up anyway and asked us not to rush. We will definitely return next year during our next trip.

This place was recommended for breakfast by a tour guide right outside our stay at the Hyatt. It’s a short walk away, not on the Riverwalk. We wanted something different. This place did not disappoint.
Excellent food. You’ll find gluten free options and great service. Appropriate for all ages and the prices were very reasonable. Check them out!

One of my absolute favorite restaurants. We eat here for breakfast and lunch whenever we visit San Antonio. House made root beer and traditional German cuisine is so tasty. Also. The German chocolate cake is amazing if you can get it before it’s gone.
