Old World Biergarten Restaurant & Bar is the closest I’ve found to truly authentic German cuisine, and it’s genuinely delicious. The dishes have that hearty, comforting depth you expect from old‑world cooking. The gravies and stews were rich, savory, and full of flavor — exactly what traditional German food should deliver.
Their Spätzle, the classic German egg noodle, could have been even better if it were made from scratch, but everything else on the plate carried the experience. One standout was the sauerkraut — honestly some of the best I’ve tasted. They add little bacon bits that give it a smoky, savory edge without overpowering the tang. It’s simple, but incredibly well done.
Overall, Old World Biergarten offers a warm, authentic taste of Germany, and it’s a spot I’m glad to have discovered.

We had a family lunch here on Sunday, and it was a wonderful experience. The selection of food and beverages was excellent. I ordered the Polish-style hot dog, and my husband chose the pork schnitzel with German potato salad—both were absolutely amazing. Everything tasted fresh and delicious.
We were also impressed by the wide variety of beers; it was really hard to choose just one! We will definitely be coming back to try more items from the menu.

Fun Bavarian themed restaurant!
We tried the house baked Bavarian pretzel, Nürnberger bratwurst, bockwurst, vegan beyond sausage, spicy ginger chickpea soup, kremes, cinnamon stick, and bernliner krapfen. We drank German beer and mulled wine.
We truly enjoyed everything. Stand outs were the pretzel, Nürnberger bratwurst, mulled wine and cinnamon stick pastry.
Larger parties have gratuity added to their bill.
Highly recommend this place of you are looking for authentic German sausages!

It’s been a few years since we came to Old World HB. We wanted to check out the Christmas market and decided to grab dinner. It was a Tuesday evening around 6:30, most stores had closed down. There was barely anyone in the village. Biergarten on the other hand are almost full inside. We were seated right away, 2 tables next to us were celebrating birthdays. We started with a Hofbrau Original lager to chase down the house baked Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese. The warm pretzel is quite good, especially with mustard and beer cheese. Next the trio mini sausages with sauerkraut, which definitely hit the spot. For the main, we shared a Jager Schnitzel and Paulaner Hefeweizen. We’re pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food, comparing to similar dish we had earlier this year in Frankfurt. We’ll check out the Schweinshaxe next time.

So much FUN!!! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing, everyone here, from the patrons to the staff, is festive and that is what makes this such an amazing experience. There is dancing and various contests for those who want to participate. Marco is so much fun and inteacts well with the crowd. To clarify I was here during Oktoberfest on a Thursday evening….. It was busy, food line was 45 minutes but did move quickly and we met some cool people while we waited. Parking was free and a good time was had by all

Crazy fun place that many people have never seen or heard of, and this is because it’s hidden in an apartment building parking lot! They decorate to the Hilt for Christmas There must be close to 100 Christmas trees and million mini lights spread out over everything! The food is delicious: it’s authentic German Faire and it’s cooked to absolute perfection. Get out there and enjoy this hidden gem in Huntington Beach ⛱️

Went on a lovely date with my boyfriend who wanted us to have a cultural experience going back to our roots. We got to walk around before and after dinner with wonderful shops, architecture and amazing plants and art all around. The staff were in costume and very attentive. The food was delicious and there were definitely some other foods I’d like to try off the menu. We ordered a la carte and shared everything. We also tried the pretzel with beer cheese. Its a must try. Such a lovely evening with my love.

Over the years, this spot has gone on a downward trend, especially after Covid, but it seems to be picking back up. The food is a bit overpriced and the choices are bit limited compared to other German restaurants, but it’s decent. The beer prices are a bit higher as well here which isn’t ideal! During the Christmas market, the food was limited and they ran out of pretzels for a while even after paying, so that was no bueno, but they sorted it out eventually. Overall, you can’t beat the experience, just don’t go in expecting a great time with food. Considering this is one of the only real Germany plazas, I do hope it returns to its previous levels.

It’s a great place to try German cuisine in a local California restaurant. Food is served in generous portions. Beer can be served in pitchers when friends come with you. Try the pretzels with dipping sauce. They are out of this world.

The restaurant is beautifully decorated for Christmas. We ordered the pork shank with garlic green beans, schnitzel with bacon and mushroom gravy, sausage trio, and kids butter pasta. The pork shank was massive. Meat was tender and perfectly cooked. You have to pull it off the bone but the texture is nice. Green beans were well seasoned and crunchy. The sausage trio was great with beer. Their sauerkraut is really good too. The kids pasta must’ve been good because my kid ate the whole thing in a flash. The French fries were very crunchy and well seasoned. The star of the show for me was the schnitzel. The sauce was sooooo good. Overall this place is good. Whether you are craving comfort food or bar food, they have it. Drinks are plenty. Must try their grapefruit beer.
