Absolutely stellar service but definitely make a reservation!! The food and drink was amazing!!! It was like a hug in a meal!! Our server, I think his name was Nick, was absolutely amazing as well. I got the chicken cordon blu and was floored and loved the potato dumplings.

I was very grateful we were able to get a table since they were completely booked with reservations. The service was stellar and the food was excellent. I was quite surprised at the amount of food, easily two+meals for my appetite. Turkey was moist, white and dark meat, gravy, apricot dressing, cranberry jello salad, creamed corn, mashed potatoes, snow peas, sweet potato puree, peanut soup, and pie included! See the photographs. Everything was beautifully presented with garnished like micro greens and biquinho peppers (which I had to look up).

We called and ordered our food to-go and everything was excellent. Never had food that was this well presented in a to go container as well as our order we received. Looked as good as it would if sat inside and ate. The amount of food well fed 3 maybe 4 people.
We got the pretzel with cheese (not pictured), chicken cordon bleu, traditional Baverian sausage platter and the German chocolate cake. Staff were so kind to answer a question about a sauce ingredient and put it on the side due to precaution for a food allergy. We’d definitely return.

Disappointed and Confused by the Hype
We went to Bavarian Chef for dinner while on vacation, and unfortunately, it was a major letdown. My husband was really excited to try it—especially after seeing how packed it was the night before. We figured that had to be a good sign.
I ordered the Schweine Kotelett with homemade applesauce, German potato salad, and red cabbage. My husband went with the German-style Thanksgiving turkey, which came with zucchini and green beans.
Sadly, the food was incredibly underwhelming. His turkey had no flavor at all, and the vegetables were drenched in vinegar—so much so that they were hard to eat. The only thing he enjoyed was the iced tea.
As for my meal, the pork chops were thick but completely flavorless. It tasted like someone just breaded and fried plain pork chops—no seasoning, no depth. Even the applesauce couldn’t save it. We each took a few bites and left the rest. I wish I had taken a photo of our full plates—it was that bad. We didn’t even bother taking leftovers. It felt like we just donated $80 for food we couldn’t eat.
The only bright spot was our server—she was very kind and attentive, and we truly appreciated her service. We always make it a point to tip well, but in this case, since we couldn’t eat the food and left nearly everything untouched, we felt the $80 bill itself was more than generous for what we received.
We were genuinely looking forward to this meal, especially after the amazing smells coming from the restaurant the day before. Maybe the regular chef wasn’t there that night, but based on our experience, I just don’t understand the hype. I have to give it a 0/10.

We had the Wiener schnitzel and the Mandel schnitzel. Both were delicious. For sides, we had potato dumplings, red cabbage, green beans, and spaetzle.

German food so good, you’ll swear you’re in a Regensburg brauhaus. The restaurant has a limited beer selection, crowded waiting area, and grandma’s house aesthetic (the walls smell like mushroom gravy), but you’ll forget all of that when your taste buds are doing the chicken dance.

I have been eating here a few times every few years, for 20+ years. Wonderful restaurant serving German food that is good for large and small groups. We over ordered this time not realizing how much food was coming. The portions on a lot of items could easily be shared (such as the soup). Service was good and everyone was friendly. We enjoyed the salad and the huge pretzel with cheese and mustard. The crab soup was good but too much. The sausage sampler was really good. The pork schnitzel tasted bland with only the mushroom sauce. Will return, thanks for the good job.

This was the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion with it still feeling special but not stuffy at all. OH MY GOODNESS. The food was immaculate, the service incredible, and the atmosphere so cozy. We sat in the upstairs part and it was so intimate and lovely. The drinks were well made and strong. The cake we had was delicious to the point where I had to take a moment. Overall a wonderful experience and we will definitely be coming back! Well worth the over hour drive.

Feels like being in a time warp of an old fashioned German living room.
The restaurant serves authentic German food in a cozy atmosphere. Delicious beer from the tap.
The portions are ginormous ! And besides your plate you also get 7 different side dishes.
All very tasty and we couldn’t try the desserts as there was absolutely no room in our stomachs.
We recommend it and it was fun.
