Searching for some delicious German food? Look no further! This is the closest to authentic German food we could find in Houston (MUCH better than the more known options…) and we should know, as my wife was born and raised in Bavaria. So far we tried their pork shank (#1 recommendation), Schnitzel, Schweinebraten, warm potato salad (also BOMB!) and braised cabbage. All of it was very tasty! Another gem is their Mr. Green cider, you should absolutely try it if you love green apple flavor. The people working here are extremely friendly and kind. We will be back yet again! 🙂

Was looking forward to trying this place but, unfortunately, it’s a “No” for us. Service was super friendly and our entrees came out in a timely manner; however, menu was pricey for what you get (compared to similar places we’ve patroned); place was freezing (had to sit by a window to get some heat from the sun, but the AC was still blowing hard on us); Hubby’s sandwich was dry (to add jaeger sauce on a sandwhich was $5!! At least 2 Tbs of sauce could have been complimentary!) and fries portion was miniscule; lastly, my cabbage rolls (w/nothing else, just the rolls for $19) was bland and the tomato sauce was too salty. They do have great reviews, so please do give them a try for yourself; your experience may be better.

We were in the parking lot for a different restaurant and saw this place. It intrigued us, so we called an audible. Lots of local brews on tap, a very cool music theme, and a good atmosphere. I am not from here, but if I lived near, I would come back. Food was also great. I had a schnitzel sandwich. Tasty.

The food was high quality. The fish and chips were very good, though the portions aren’t particularly generous. The sausage sampler and the Kohlrouladen were typically German. Side note, the Germans are not world famous for their cuisine, lol, but the quality was good.
Now let’s talk price. It’s expensive. You can’t normalize it by saying eating out is expensive – even adjusting for inflation it’s high. Two entrees, one appetizer, and a soft drink = $75, incl. tip.
The service is fine and the atmosphere is casual and friendly. It’s hard to reconcile that informal atmosphere with the prices.

Nice place with very good service and many craft beers on tap (i think around 30). The menu offers a mix of Pub food and German food. All food options look very good and the Schnitzel was good as well. Definitely a recommendation.

Just a delight to come here.
Trivia night was fun!
The pork shank was divine—somewhat similar to what you get in Germany.
There were pieces of unsweetened apples cooked inside pork.
The masked potatoes, as well as fries, were pretty awesome.
Fried fish was light and flaky.
The beer selection was stellar (keep the 512 pecan Porter).
Fried pretzel rolls were ok, but mustard and cheese were really good.
Overall, the staff was so incredibly accommodating.

Amazing beers, delicious food, cool environment…what more can one ask for! A great place with a unique and inviting atmosphere that feels like home. The Apple walnut & Brie salad is incredible, the Turkey club is to die for, Kohlrouladen and schnitzel are huge delicious portions…my goal is to try everything. I seriously can’t get enough of their food! Bring all your friends!!

If you’ve never had German/American cuisine then this is definitely a spot you want to check out. Watershed has a really nice “neighborhood/hangout bar” vibe and it’s very warm & welcoming as soon as you walk through the door. They’ve got a great selection of 30 craft/imported beers on tap and wine.
We ended up ordering the pretzel bites w/beer cheese & dijon mustard, bratwurst, roasted pork shank, and the kasepatzle. We really enjoyed everything but that bratwurst & the kasepatzle really won us over. Staff was super friendly and gave great recommendations for newbies like us.
We’ll be stopping by again soon!
