It’s been nearly 17 years since my last visit, and I’m delighted to see that the restaurant has maintained its exceptional quality and consistency over time. Every dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and a thoughtful respect for classic recipes. I came here with my son, and we both truly enjoyed the experience. We have no doubt that we’ll be coming back very soon. My only suggestion would be for the staff to be a bit kinder and more attentive, perhaps offering a small welcoming smile.

The food portion is great and so is the taste.

We got Ruben and Prime Rib, it’s so tender for the rib and well seasoned. The butter grilled bread of Ruben is 10/10 crunchy and tasty.
Highly recommend mushrooms for sides, juicy savory and tender. (The vegetables just like Costco frozen vegetables “nah”)

The vibe of the bar is nice, chilling and no pushing sell for anything.

Dining in here just like go to the same old place you like to have your comfort food even it’s my first time here.

Cafeteria style : Line up – order and choose – pay – find your favorite table. Waiters are attentive to help bring your tray(s) and etc. Remember to leave a tip on the table.

Traditional American comfort food, with that comforting flavors. Near extinct, please support this business more often and keep it going.

Super friendly services. Cozy seating areas. Prices are the most reasonable.

Def a gem in the Bay Area!

My favorite Hofbrau restaurant. I love the oven roasted turkey and corned beef. It’s cafeteria style, where you get a tray and go through line to pick your food. I like being able to see all of the meats, entrees and daily specials. You’ll end up having a hard time deciding and wanting more than one thing. They have a variety of hot and cold sides, salads and desserts. Truly a unique experience.

12/1/2025: The Christmas decorations are up. I didn’t see a tree though. There was hella traffic coming from SF to RWC. By the time I got to Harry’s, it was 8pm and no line. My order was a Danish beef steak (minced meat patty) $16.89, available on Monday nights. It felt like a Salisbury steak in American terms. I wonder what made it a Danish steak. This dish came with a tangy tomato tasting sauce with mushrooms and onions. It was easy to chew as it was minced meat with less fat than a hamburger patty. It tasted fine. It came with a dinner roll, mash potatoes and a side. In my case, I selected coleslaw.

Original review: Harry’s Hofbrau is awesome. It is a cafeteria type of restaurant. It reminded me of a better version of the old Tad’s Steakhouse’s on Powell’s St. My meal tonight was a tri-tip steak dinner $23 and a Manhattan clam chowder $6.75. Both were OK. The tri-tip steak was perfectly cooked medium rare. My sides were the mash potatoes and mushrooms. The mash potatoes were drenched in gravy. The soup had a strong tangy tomato taste. Well done everyone at Harry’s Hofbrau.

Love coming to Harry’s Hofbrau for a homey meal. We enjoy the pastrami and tri tip here but thought the roast beef was too chewy. Mashed potatoes here are amazinggg!! Line can be long but moves quickly. Good value for the price, and they have a good beer selection

The roast beef was great. Turkey was a bit dry. I won’t get the Ceasar salad again, there wasn’t hardly any dressing, it was bland lettuce. Friendly staff, I’d go back and try something different

In general, the only people who go to Harry’s Hofbrau are (like me) over 65 and have been going to Harry’s for decades. This is not cuisine in any respect. It’s more like old-fashioned home style cooking. The meats are very good, many of the sides are, too. Staff is very friendly and efficient (no surly, disinterested teens). The place is always clean and welcoming, though I think the furnishings are unchanged since my first visit with my wife’s family ~1982. You should definitely go at least once. Restaurants are having a very tough time and I’m not sure how long Harry’s will be around.

Quiet for a Friday afternoon in September. Super nice bartender and plenty of options on tap. I will definitely be back now that I’ve set foot inside for the first time in the 29 years I’ve lived here.
