Good food and service. The decor is not the semi standard goofy kitsch thankfully. Very nice decor in an neat old building. Not the best German food I have ever had but very solid. The home made strudel was amazing and himbeer candy they had up front (very hard to find) was a great bonus. Highly recommend visiting if you need to scratch the itch for German food.

The staff are wearing what I believe to be period and culture correct wardrobes which is awesome! The layout of the restaurant is very unique, cozy and matches the rest of the historic building that it’s inside of. The food was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend going here.

This is one of Wilmington’s best kept secret! Great food, great beer, great services and awesome atmosphere. It’s a must do if your visiting downtown and heading to the cotton exchange. The schnitzel was amazing! We also go the Bratwurst plate and was really good.

We stopped in for lunch yesterday and enjoyed a nice meal. The staff were friendly and space was nicely decorated with exposed brick walls and original wooden beams running across the ceiling. I had the Red Rueben and German Potato salad which was very delicious. For dessert we had the Apple Strudel and Strawberry Cake which was also scrumptious and the owner makes at home. There was quite a selection of German beers on tap and various snacks and candies for sale as you walk in. I would recommend stopping in and I know I will be back soon.

It’s awesome. A simple menu, but what you’d hope to find at a German pub. Tasty sausages, great German beer and it’s an awesome, cozy atmosphere.

Every time I come here, it hits the spot. I’ve tried quite a few items on the menu like rouladen, veal weiner schnitzel, and especially the wurst samplers, and I am always ecstatic with my plates. The wait staff takes great care of me and the deserts are second to none. I am also fascinated with all of the German decor on the walls.

This place is fantastic. Usually I only get to eat at hoffbrau which is awesome for the biergarten vibe. but the German Cafe has a much more intimate setting. you just feel like your at your favorite local hole in the wall in Munchen. I highly recommend this place for both atmosphere and their stellar plates. If you have an apetite for some German quisine this place cant be beat. PROST!

The best food I have had during my recent trip to Wilmington. The Cheese Sampler Platter was an excellent appetizer. The chicken and wurst main courses were very flavorful and included some incredibly good vegetables. For dessert the triple chocolate raspberry cake was the perfect finally to a fantastic meal. All of this while sipping on some fine German beer made this visit a very memorable experience.

Wonderful food in a wonderful setting with wonderful service. I don’t get to enjoy German food often enough and I loved the Schnitzel Jager style (with gravy, mushrooms, peppers, and onions) at The German Cafe. It’s in easy walking distance of the hotels along the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, so I would definitely put this on your list of places to eat if you’re staying along the riverfront in Wilmington!
