We would like to welcome you to our Restaurant located in Historic Downtown Bryan in a building dating back to the 1880s, a time when settlers from Germany and all over the world began making their homes in Bryan. For more than 3 years we restored this building to its former glory.
Great craftsmanship was required to build a replica of a real 1800s pine ceiling as was used commonly throughout Germany and Austria at the time.
We hope you will enjoy our selection of homemade traditional dishes and our range of quality German beers, all of which are still brewed in accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516.

This is definitely a top 5 place in my opinion for restaurants in Bryan/College Station. Good German food, favorite being the Jagerschnitzel and Spätzle. Beer is also very good and honestly pretty cheap especially for the liter beers coming in at only $15. Atmosphere is usually pretty quiet which is nice. We have been probably close to a dozen times and never had a bad experience. Love this local place.

Good drinks, big portions, fair prices. Nothing fancy, but a reliable spot for hearty German food in Bryan.
Quiet and comfortable inside with classic Bavarian tavern decor.
Got the veal, tasty and well-breaded…
Spaetzle and potato salad were solid sides.
Service was quick and friendly. Our waitress even gave us pretzels to-go as they closed, which was a really nice touch.

Great place if you want to take a short trip to Germany. My mom loves German food and said this was great. The kids enjoyed it as well.

This place is great! The ambiance is perfect. The food came out surprisingly fast, and the schnitzel was so good.
I returned for another round. And WOW! It was even better than the last time. This time I asked my server, Morgan, for input. I totally should have done that before. She was spot on! This place is an absolute golden find. I only wish I lived closer so that I could come here more often. Without a doubt, I will return EVERY time I’m in town.

We enjoyed the atmosphere, music and service at this German restaurant. We were celebrating our anniversary and had a wonderful time. We wish they had sauerbraten and cabbage rolls on their menu.
I ordered the heaven and hell schnitzel and it’s supposed to be veal, which is very tender but mine was not-it was tough and even though they said it was real I’m not sure it was – other than that, all was great!

I spent a few years in Germany in the service. It is very rare to find anything close to actual Germain food in the states. This is the real deal, the Rahm sauce is not exactly what I get in Germany but the Schnitzel is spit on and the sauce is close enough. Next time I will go with the Jager version. All the sides were great, the service was friendly and the place had a lively qnd friendly crowd. I cant wait to visit again when we are back in town !

We had a wonderful time here and it was so nice to get ACTUAL SCHNITZEL, not some overpriced theme park garbage. It is very authentic, so be prepared for a lot of vinegar in items you wouldn’t expect it in with normal American food. We got the sausage sampler, which admittedly seemed to come with many more potatoes than sausage, but still presented very delicious and unique savory flavors across the 3 sausages given. We both ordered the pork weiner schnitzel, mine with bratkarttofeln and my husband had spatzle. The schnitzel itself was kind of plain, which is to be expected when many other options come with a gravy. We eat our with lots of lemon, which was provided at request. The spatzle and bratkarttofeln was THE BOMB! I would almost come back just for those 2 alone! We happened to be there when their liter steins were all $10 so we definitely took advantage of that. It was nice having pilsner urquell on tap again. My husband really wanted the hofbrau, but they were out so he settled for the helles instead. They also serve plenty of Irish food considering they share an open wall with the Irish pub next door. I would love to come back and try more of their food options should I find myself in the area again. The waitress was super nice and the area was very clean and spacious. Being that my husband is from Germany, he said this was the closest to home he’s felt in a very long time.

Absolutely loved this place, especially the atmosphere which is a great call back to original Germany. Had the greatest schnitzel I’ve ever had in my life and I have eaten it in Germany.
The only negative is they do not have German red cabbage or potato balls which I thought were complete staples and couldn’t believe they didn’t have it but still a five-star experience.
I will definitely go back!

We had a fantastic dining experience at Bavarian Brauhau! We were recommended by a friend who was right when she mentioned how delicious everything was. The meal started with an amazing leek soup that was rich, creamy, and full of flavor—truly a perfect starter. If I could describe it poetically, it felt like a warm hug!
Next up was the Bavarian sampler, which gave us a delightful variety of traditional German dishes, each one more delicious than the last. The schnitzel was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making it a standout on the menu. Lastly, the bread pudding was to die for! It was so wonderfully textured and sweet that I dream of it even a week later.
The restaurant has a cozy and authentic Bavarian atmosphere that adds to the overall charm. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable meal.
If you’re in the area and craving some authentic German cuisine, Bavarian Brauhaus is a must-visit! Next time I come out to visit my friend, I’m coming straight back!
