Really enjoyed my lunch at Schnitzelbank! The bratwurst platter was excellent! The sauerkraut was a pleasant surprise. I’m usually not much of a kraut fan but it was very good and not over powering at all. Be careful with the mustard though! It was very good but the waitress hasn’t lying, a little bit goes a long way.

I had been wanting to try this for years and finally got my husband to go on our way to my work conference. You get a ton of food! It was delicious to try so many things. My only complaint was the teeny tiny tableware had that was against a wall.

My husband and I drove two hours specifically to dine at The Schnitzelbank in Jasper, Indiana, after hearing it was the best place in the state for authentic German food. I lived in Germany for most of my childhood and have traveled extensively throughout the country for work. My husband is a former executive chef, so we’re both very particular about how food is prepared, served, and presented.
The Good:
We visited at lunchtime, and the restaurant itself was warm and welcoming, with traditional Bavarian décor and a friendly atmosphere. The servers, dressed in dirndl attire, were polite, attentive, and clearly working hard to handle the crowd. The salad bar was excellent—fresh, clean, and well presented. My spätzle was cooked perfectly and tasted homemade, and the green spinach casserole was flavorful, rich, and cheesy, though a bit heavy as a side. My husband’s bratwurst, sauerkraut, and German potato salad also appeared to be homemade, which I truly appreciated and consider one of the best qualities of this restaurant.
The men’s restroom was clean, and the gift shop was charming, offering a wide selection of German-themed and novelty items. The restaurant also features large side rooms that would be ideal for family gatherings or private events.
The Bad:
Unfortunately, my entrée—the Rouladen—was a serious disappointment. While I understand that a dish like this is typically prepared ahead of time due to the long cooking process, this one was clearly not properly reheated, not temperature-probed before serving, and not plated appealingly. The center was cold, the gravy had separated into grease, and it was excessively salty. The beef itself was tender, but the overall dish looked and tasted like slop on a plate—a poor showing for a restaurant known for German specialties.
My husband’s bratwurst had an Americanized flavor, lacking the seasoning and snap you’d expect from authentic German sausage. The potato salad was as expected, though short on bacon, and oddly included egg, which threw off the traditional flavor balance.
Menu Confusion:
According to the menu, my entrée was supposed to come with a side salad and potato glaze, but the server asked me to choose two sides instead. I didn’t realize this meant replacing the listed items rather than adding them. The staff were courteous but could have explained this better.
Overall Impression:
The Schnitzelbank has charm, friendly service, and an inviting atmosphere. I truly appreciate that most everything appeared to be homemade, which shows effort and pride in the kitchen. Unfortunately, the execution, temperature control, and presentation fell far short of expectations.
The ambiance, service, and salad bar were the highlights of our visit, but the Rouladen and overall authenticity left a lot to be desired. If I could go back, I’d skip the entrée altogether and enjoy the salad bar—or maybe try the fried gizzards instead.

We recently dined a Schnitzelbank Restaurant in Jasper, Indiana, hoping for a decent German meal. We spent some time over in Germany a few years back, so we tend to be a bit picky about the food. I have to say, this place held its own surprisingly well. The atmosphere is pretty authentic, reminded us of a little gasthaus we used to eat at near Munich.
I went with a classic Reuben sandwich, something you see on menus over there sometimes. It was a solid sandwich. The corned beef was good, not too fatty, and they used actual rye bread that tasted right. The mix of kraut, cheese, and dressing worked fine. Nothing over the top, just a good, sturdy Reuben.
On the side, I got the German potatoes. They were served warm and had that classic blend of vinegar, bacon bits, and onion. They weren’t quite as sharp as the ones we had in Bavaria, but they were close enough to satisfy the craving. Cooked well, not mushy at all.
My wife had the bratwurst plate. The sausage was properly prepared—plump and grilled nicely. It tasted authentic. The sauerkraut alongside it was good, maybe a little milder than what you’d find in a true German market, but still had the right flavor profile.
The real highlight for both of us was the German potato salad. They nailed this one. It was warm, had a really nice balance of tangy vinegar and smoky bacon flavor, just like the real deal. No mayo in sight, thank goodness.
Overall, it’s a very decent spot if you’re looking for honest, straightforward German cooking in Indiana. It brought back some good memories of our time overseas. Worth a stop if you’re in the area.

This is top-tier German cuisine right in the heart of the American Midwest. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress was highly educated on the offerings and was able to provide several suggestions on food and drink. We opted the sauerkraut balls for an appetizer. They are a heartier version than I’ve had anywhere else; not lacking in delicious ground pork. The had a delectable beer selection including several drafts and bottle of imports for the road. They had several menu items that I wanted, but we chose the chicken schnitzel and the pork shank. The schnitzel was a simple classic take, and I would definitely recommend it. The pork shank was quite the spectacle, and certainly did not disappoint the palate. It was a very large portion and savory gem to say the least. The gift shop also offers several trinkets and treats. This place is a 5 out of 5. I can’t wait to go back!!

Delicious! We got the 8 meat spread with a bunch of sides and it was so very good. It was so much food we had a whole dinners worth of leftovers for the next night! Plus everything tasted even better the next day. I don’t recommend the “draft root beer” it was $6 and tasted like it was from a regular soda machine, not with it. The German fries were so amazing. If we are ever in town again this will be a stop for sure. Enjoy!
