Biergarten @ Old World HB Restaurant & Bar

This was my second visit to this German restaurant in Old World Village, and I have to say—I still love the place! The atmosphere is charming and full of character, which really adds to the experience and makes you feel like you’re stepping into a little piece of Europe. It was extremely busy during our visit last weekend, and unfortunately, the service was a bit slow. We had to wait over an hour just to get our appetizer, so I ended up canceling it and going straight for the main course. The staff were okay, just clearly overwhelmed with the crowd. We ordered the Beef Goulash Stew with a side of potato pancakes, which was absolutely delicious and brought back some nostalgic memories. The Meat Pie Strudel was also tasty, and we finished with a classic Napoleon cake for dessert. Despite the slow service, the food and the atmosphere made it worth it, and I’ll definitely be back again to try more dishes!

Delicious, authentic German dishes, and American options as well. Very reasonably priced. Wait staff are amazing, and the vibe is terrific (outdoor as well as indoor dining). The flavors are outstanding! Parking may be a bit of a challenge during peak hours, but doable.

We really like this restaurant. So fun! We came here for lunch for Mother's Day and they were giving every woman a rose. They also had live music with two guys who were such talented singers. Orders were taken and delivered without issues. Our waiters were great at checking on us. We had a party of 8 and everyone ordered something different. I got to try all the different dishes and I have to say that my favorites were the pork and chicken schnitzels. The sausage appetizer was good too. I like that we could choose any side dish with our mains. They had a big list. The cocktails were good too.

( Drank a beer taller than my self-esteem.) If Bavaria and a SoCal dive bar had a delicious, drunk baby — this would be it. Sometimes you need to run from the plastic-wrapped brunch spots of Huntington Beach and find a place where the schnitzel is crispy, the beer is tall, and nobody cares about your follower count. Biergarten @ Old World HB is that place. I wandered in off-season. No Oktoberfest circus, no fake German accents, no line of influencers posing with pretzels the size of hubcaps. Just locals, dark wood, cold beer, and me — a man on a quest for edible joy. I ordered the chicken schnitzel, which arrived looking like a medieval shield forged by a drunk Bavarian blacksmith who took great pride in feeding the hungry. Crisp, golden, devourable. On the side? German potatoes — soft, seasoned, and whispering “don’t stop.” Then came the beer: A half-and-half hefeweizen taller than my self-esteem, cloudy as my future, delicious as my last good decision. Each sip was like being hugged by a German grandmother who smells faintly of hops and hard wisdom. And then — Underberg. That tiny bottle of herbal rocket fuel. They had it. I drank it. The bartender smiled knowingly, like a seasoned guide who’s seen many a weary traveler cross that bitter finish line. I’ve never been here during Oktoberfest — and honestly? I’m not sure I want to. I found perfection in the quiet. No crowd. No spectacle. Just beer, schnitzel, potatoes, and a moment of true peace in a world that moves too fast. Go off-season. Sit. Drink. Eat. Smile. Prost. 🍻 #BeerTallerThanMySelfEsteem #SchnitzelAndUnderberg #OldWorldHBMagic

The food here is just okay. The sausage sandwich was passable, while the cabbage roll was so salty that I had to order extra sides to balance it out. Similarly, the schnitzel sandwich was helped by the buns to counteract the saltiness, but the lack of hot sauces was a drawback. The Nurnberger was also just okay. On the upside, the beer selection is fantastic. The Slap and Tickle IPA stood out as particularly good. The ambiance is pleasant, making it a nice spot to hang out and enjoy a drink. The service was good too—they use a big block of red and green to let servers know when you need help, which is quite efficient. However, due to the consistently salty food, I’m hesitant to bring friends here for a group dinner.

Pleasantly and efficiently greeted and seated by a young lady with an injured right arm (in a sling) who appeared well versed in ADA regulations regarding service dogs. She was very accommodating. The venue was in an old world Bavarian motif, which provided a very appropriate and appealing atmosphere. Ordered a rather large German beer, and an order of pork Jager Schnitzel with my side choice of potato pancakes. EVERYTHING was excellent and plentiful. Service was friendly and prompt. Initially, one might think it was a bit pricey, but the reality is that it is a good value for the buck!!

My wife and I came here for lunch. We really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, both the inside and the patio were great. We decided to sit outside because of the beautiful sunny day, and we felt we were on vacation. We had a pretzel (good), cucumber salad (awesome), potato pancakes (outstanding!) and a schnitzel (great). We actually ordered a second round of potato pancakes. They were so tasty and crispy. The service was also great. We were helped by a server in training and her knowledgeable trainer, they were both great and attentive. We enjoyed their attentive service. Lastly, a very nice and welcome surprise was how clean and good smelling the inside restrooms were. I know that is the expectation everywhere you go but in this case it was better than expected. We will definitely be returning to try additional items in the near future. Keep up the good work Biergarten!

A total blast and staff made it the best birthday experience. The food is amazing. Come here for fun and great food.

Old World Café & Restaurant is one of those spots that never disappoints. Today I had a spicy Italian turkey sandwich with freshly sliced German salami on rye, loaded with German mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and onion. They do have cheese, but I'm lactose intolerant -- and trust me, this sandwich didn't need it. Everything here tastes like it was made with care. The bagel dogs with smoked sausage and sauerkraut are ridiculous, the pastries are next-level, and the gelato? Imported straight from Italy. You can taste the difference -- it's the real deal. Plus, it's not just about the food. They've got a full restaurant and bar on the other side, live entertainment, tons of outdoor seating, and the kind of service that actually makes you want to come back. If you're looking for a fun, laid-back weekend spot, or even just a solid place to grab lunch during the week, Old World has it. The vibes are always good, the food is always great, and honestly -- who needs a passport to Germany when you can just step through these doors? Pro tip go to the restaurant and order the pretzel you will not be sorry it is so big so fresh so hot and comes with German mustard but also beer Cheese! Check them out at germandeli.com.

I came to Biergarten at Old World for the first time this weekend for their Pretzel Festival. First off, the area is so cute. You'll feel like you've been transported to a little German village, right here in Orange County! At first I was a little disappointed by the festival, but the staff made everything better. To clarify, I LOVE soft pretzels and was so excited to try all their cool combos (especially after seeing some on social media). The thing that was really disappointing, was that the pretzels were sitting out, not being warmed and were completely hard and nearly inedible. I spent $62 on 3 pretzels, sauces and pickles, and the pretzels were not worth the price. My friend and I spoke to the staff to let them know and they went above and beyond to make things right - it improved our whole experience! We ended up getting the pretzel sandwich, which is warm with gooey cheese and warm ham and it was sooo good! It paired perfectly with the various dipping sauces. Also, we got the cinnamon sugar bites and they were so tasty! I wish I had them right now! I'm addition to the pretzels, they also had multiple stations for beer and a full bar. The bartenders were all super awesome. The bar manager made me a mocktail -- lavender lemonade and it was sooo tasty! Sadly the security would not let me take it to-go, because they "couldn't verify it didn't have alcohol" -- even though it comes in a different cup than the cocktails. One of my favorite parts about this space was the indoor concert hall with dance floor. They had great bands and everyone was really into it. Overall, while it was somewhat of a mixed experience, I'd still come back, especially since the staff were really helpful and friendly!

What a lively restaurant! The staff were super friendly and people are allowed here. They even have live music on the weekend. They are not connected to the other part that has a concert, but the food is typical German food and customer services on point. The decor is very German like and I think you'll have a good time no matter what.

The restaurant is located among a cluster of other eateries, boutiques and medical offices. Picturesque. Multiple Instagram-able opportunities. Fantastic customer service. Food was Superb! Biergarten Restaurant. Enter a German chalet: cobble stone floors, pseudo-wood log walls with exposed overhead beams, and stained glass windows. Went for lunch on a Friday. 11am Immediately seated. Drinks & menus quickly appeared. Within 30 minutes the inside seating started to fill up. Because of evening musical entertainment the restaurant also offers outdoor seating in a cozy covered alcove. Love the wood-block tool used to signal service. One side of the block is painted red (meaning we're good), and the other side painted green (need service, please). We asked for menu suggestions. - Chicken Schnitzel fresh, crispy, partially smothered with a delightful cream gravy. Potato salad. Rate 9/10. - Chicken Schnitzel sandwich. Delightful schnitzel served with lettuce, tomato, white onions, and avocado on a brioche bun. Just typing this made my mouth water all over again. Yum. Rate 10/10. Served with red cabbage, which was slightly sweet & vinegary. I'd rate the cabbage a 7/10. They offer a host of sides. See menu. - Kasespatzle Cheese Noodles. Noodle bits sautéed in caramelized onions, chopped bacon covered in cheese then baked in a caste iron skillet. Shareable. For me, this dish was star of the meal. Rate 10/10. On our way out, my lunch companion stopped at the accompanying delicatessen where she purchased pre-made salads, deli meats and specialty cookies for her family. We'll be back with our luncheon group.

Can I give ten stars? I was here for a delicious dinner of Pork Schnitzel. I then ate some German Chocolate cake. Later I had a Bratwurst. I stayed to see the Johnny Cash tribute concert. Food first. The Pork Schnitzel with mushroom bacon gravy was so good. I had mashed potatoes as my side so I could soak up all the gravy and not leave anything behind. My plate was clean. I really loved the German Chocolate cake was also yummy. At the concert I had the Bratwurst with lots of brown mustard. Brats are a favorite of mine; this was on the top of the list as one of the best I've had. The concert was next. There was a Dolly Parton tribute before Johnny Cash. Not a big fan of hers. I was here for the main event. The Cash tribute was so good I didn't want it to end. The concert hall is small. Seating is at tables that you reserve. You could also sit outside if you wish. My standing room location was so close to the stage. I couldn't have been happier. Next time however I will purchase a table. Overall, I had a great time. I will surely return for another event. Great service, yummy food, and a fun concert.

Our favorite market for European deli meats. The restaurant is a bonus. Food is always delicious and fresh. I would recommend the garlic green beans - they are amazing. Plenty of parking available. A great place for the whole family.

We really like this restaurant. So fun! We came here for lunch for Mother's Day and they were giving every woman a rose. They also had live music with two guys who were such talented singers. Orders were taken and delivered without issues. Our waiters were great at checking on us. We had a party of 8 and everyone ordered something different. I got to try all the different dishes and I have to say that my favorites were the pork and chicken schnitzels. The sausage appetizer was good too. I like that we could choose any side dish with our mains. They had a big list. The cocktails were good too.

We were in the mood for a fun adventure on a sunday afternoon. Lucky for us, it was St. Patty's day weekend which gave us lots of options to grab a green beer and have a good time. Old World was the most obvious choice and headed there for a bit of fun at their Irish Fest. Arrived in the afternoon around 3:30pm and were pleased with the amount of ample (free) parking. I honestly love this venue. Its like a cute little quaint town once you get inside. Totally adorable. Once inside the fest, we got in line for some green beer (duh) and opted for the grapefruit hefeweizen. Totally delicious, but super low in alcohol content (2%) which we didn't notice until later, but didn't mind. The place was happenin' with Irish music, tons of folks in green, and tons of great entertainment for all ages. I, personally was impressed by the amount of alcohol stations in the place. Really cut down the amount of waiting around for a drink. For me, the highlight was the food. I'm not super well versed in bratwurst, but the one we had was delicious! Covered in sauerkraut (with bacon bits) which added tons of flavor. We also had the gigantic pretzel sandwich - super yummy. After a little bit of entertainment, we headed inside the restaurant for a seat and some dessert. I loved loved loved the apple strudel and my "lucky charm" cocktail. Both were great. Fun time at Old World! I noticed that they have tons of other fests coming up and i'm totally looking forward to come to the next one!

Very fun atmosphere. I'm sure weekends are incredibly busy. Pretzel sandwich was served on a large Bavarian pretzel with several dipping sauces. The Jager fries were much like poutine without cheese curds. Their perfect margarita came with a shot of gran marnier on the side and was quite delicious. Finished our lunch with a lovely cake flight with a variety of five different options. All quite good. Really enjoyed the visit

Always a fun and festive time! You feel transported to Germany every time. We came on a Saturday and they had a real German polka band that adds so much to the experience. Service was great...everyone was sooo attentive and ON it! Schnitzel and potato salad are my faves.

Delicios German food and old world ambiance here - been missing access to real German beer and food since Alpine Village closed in Torrance last year. Service here is pretty good despite always being pretty packed and busy - just use the wooden blocks painted red and green - turn to green end up when you need a server to come over for an order or help, else keep it red side up. Pretty typical but expansive German menu - beer menu is quite extensive! Try a lot of things and share with your friends - you won't be disappointed! Plan to be back for Oktoberfest! Oye oye oye!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with my two friends - it was a lovely day, and the outdoor seating was simple, yet aesthetically pleasing (though a bee occasionally terrorized us). I ended up ordering a polish sausage, and we also ordered a Bavarian pretzel and some kind of limited menu item (some form of savory dumpling). The food was so yummy and salty, and I especially enjoyed the bouncing and texture of the sausage. The pretzels also paired really well with the provided sauces - the mustard especially. I will say I felt really greasy afterwards, but that's on us for only ordering greasy foods. Overall, a good first experience with German food. I'd like to come back again during a non-Christmas time and see how different it will be. Santa showed up and jump-scared me, so coming at Christmas was pretty fun.

The Beatles band played 3 sets. I was okay with earplugs until the 3rd set, when volume was absolutely deafening, even with my earplugs. The sound was no longer clear and I couldn't get some of the lyrics. This totally ruined the whole experience. Food was good. I had a very thin slice of breaded and fried chicken schnitzel, German potato salad, a slice of apple strudel, and a can of Diet Coke for $37.65!!! Very Pricey, but tasted pretty good.

Biergarten is a charming restaurant located in European inspired, Old World Village. It is both a restaurant, deli, pastry shop and mini-store all in one. Most of the shops surrounding the restaurant were closed Saturday evening but there was a concert at the venue attached to the restaurant. I was lucky enough to sit by the bar and could see the concert playing in the adjoining room for the night while eating dinner. For service, Biergarten uses a unique service - a wood block painted half green and half red. You turn the green side up for service. Staff is dressed in European style costume, adding to the immersive ambiance. Menu is diverse and we ordered the French onion soup, cheese potato special, garlic green beans and polish sausage. Everything was super filling and I would order it all again!

Let's try something new. Me and my nephew decided to try something new. Biergarten was a great choice. I have had German food before but Biergarten was exceptional. Located in Old World in Huntington Beach. There is a great deli and bakery at the entrance. The waitress was wearing what I think are lederhosen and the food and decor are authentic. Try Biergarten when u are in the Huntington Beach area and take a stroll through the German village the whole experience is great!

Love coming here for German events, including Sausage Fest and Oktoberfest. It does get crowded, but that's part of the fun. Arrive early and get a seat, or reserve a table for a few extra dollars. There's always a great selection of Bavarian food that will easily fill you up. Many of the items can be shared because they're large orders and on the heavy side. It also keeps the cost down since that's the only downside here. Having just gotten back from the real Oktoberfest in Munich, I couldn't help but notice the cost difference. A liter of beer (2.6 US beers) in Munich was $15. One 20 oz. glass here was $20. That being said, I love the venue and atmosphere with the singing and dancing. There's lots of seating inside and outside and everyone is always in a good mood.

What a waste of time coming out here for Pretzel Fest. Those were hands down the most disgusting pretzels I've ever had in my life. Absolute garbage! It was so bad that they begged people to buy them for $5 halfway through the event, because every table around us had the same reaction of cold and stale. If you're going to charge a cover fee, you better not deliver week old pretzels!!! What an awful business practice.

I enjoyed the food at his location overall. Checked in the front and was seated outside. I like that they have a green/red object that indicates for the servers to come or not. I got these items. Nurnberger - This was delicious. Simple, clean, but hit hard. Get all the toppings its worth. (4/5) Jaeger Schnitzel - They initially gave us the schnitzel without the sauce but we had it returned and they added it. The sauce is a game changer and delicious. Portion was pretty big and the schnitzel was crispy. (4.5/5) The holiday drinks were also tasty and they don't skimp out on the alcohol. Overall liked this little German spot. There was some mishaps on service and the items we had but I enjoyed the food and vibe here.

Very nice and we had a lot of fun! Very friendly people, very nice entertainment, delicious food and very pleasant ambiance!

Went to pretzelfest to eat pretzels and you had to pay a $10 admission fee just for the right to go in and buy a pretzel. Sucked it up and got a $10 Parmesan Pretzel that absolutely SUCKED! It was so small, barely bigger than a hamburger bun and it was ice cold and barely any flavor. To sum up; $20 for a Bull awful pretzel.

Came to the Wurst Fest with a friend after finishing at Mayu Silk for Water Marbling which was only ten minutes away! I went yesterday which was Sunday and arrived around 115pm. There was no traffic to get into the streets of the event, and parking was actually pretty easy, and free! I found a spot right in the parking lot of the Old World and walked right in. The area was crowded in a good way, with a very spacious seating area that had plenty of shade! The beers were ice cold, my friend and I got the Oktoberfest, which was very refreshing on a hot day. We also decided to try the sausages. My friend went with the Elk sausage and got the mac and cheese, and I got the Duck/Bacon Sausage with a side of cucumer salad. Honestly the sides were big enough that we could have shared the food, but I ate my whole cucumber salad. I am not a particular fan of sausages, but mine tasted pretty good, topped with those onions and red peppers, and I think because I ate the cucumbers it felt balanced and not heavy in my belly. What a fun event with the band playing German music and people singing along and dancing! I loved it and felt like it was October (my favorite month) during June. Would love to come to more events here especially if they host an Octoberfest!

Great place- but so busy that it was a bit chaotic. The place was so packed on a Sunday evening, that the waitress kept mixing up our order and then we never got drinks for more than half hour, had to ask if everything was alright before she went to the counter and requested our drinks-by which time the mulled wine and pretzel were cold. They did the right thing though and replaced it with hot items after- so no love lost. Honestly would just try at a slower time cause the hot pretzel, sauces and beer were very good.

I love the food here. The service is horrible. ordered a beet sals.. it arrived with no beats. sent it back and asked for goulash with asperag. it arrived 20 min later with potatoes. could not get refills in our waters.... I really love the food. sorry I won't be able to go back.

We got seated promptly and we were ready to order our food and drinks.... But somehow a big table next to us managed to order first and that's when we believe everything got derailed. My beef rouladen made it first, and I didn't want to eat before everyone else, so it got cold. The two burgers and the appetizer (fried Brie cheese) made it next and we still had one adult without food... many minutes later, the schnitzel made it to the table. I don't recall a restaurant bringing food with that many minutes of deference! But the kids enjoyed the burgers (one had a little pink that we threw away), and the schnitzel was the best we've ever had. The rouladen was... cold lol. The beers were good, cold and in stein glasses. We shared a cake-flight, we had princes cake, black Forrest cake, etc but the winner was the apple strudel. Would've been better warm and with Ice cream! It got louder as afternoon progressed, but nothing crazy, we left earlier in the night.

Fun place! This Old World German Village is very charming. You can walk around and have afternoon tea, eat pretzels, drink beer, shop, and just have fun. Lots of parking it's across the street from a Costco. Come here and you would love it!

Great food & entertainment. Servers are right there for you. Sauerkraut cocktails are good, too!

First time visiting Biergarten at Old World HB, and for the most part, I am pretty impressed. Prior to the concert, we had dinner in the restaurant, and the service and food were great. The only issue, and this is a biggie, the bathrooms are NASTY! If you would have asked me the last time I thought someone checked them for cleanliness and supplies, I would say 3 days ago. That's how yucky they are. As for the food though, YUMMY! I had the schnitzel sandwich and fries, and it was so good! So much flavor, and the fries were perfect crispy and salty. The concert venue is the real star of this place. The whole back area has food (more limited than the restaurant menu), great drinks with super friendly bartender. There's tons of table, and a huge dance floor. Overall, a great location.

Ate here once. I loved it. Who knew I liked sauerkraut? I'm really here to talk about the live music. I! Love! The! Music! Venue! If you have spent hundreds to see a band, you'll love the cover bands they have here. Great price! Small venue. 2 bars (1 inside and 1 outside). Get up close to the music and rock out or sit outside and chill. Table is recommended if you have a big group. If not, get in the floor and enjoy. Great covered parking too.

Terrible. We went to see the sublime cover band. We ordered salad, Brie cheese, soup, pretzel and sausage appetizer. It took 40 min to get the pretzel and an hour to get the rest of the food. They gave us a voucher for $10 off our next visit. After speaking with the manager he graciously comped our pretzel and Brie cheese . The food was mediocre and the service was horrible! Our water was never filled through the 2 hour dining experience. Needless to say we missed the band. Ya, won't be using the $10 voucher.... I rarely complain because I understand the service industry but this was a terrible experience! There was hardly anyone in the restaurant.

Love coming here for the Plum Festival and this year was no different! We came across the Biergarten after exploring the festival and decided to put our name down for a table. Though it looked pretty busy, we were able to get seated right away. The servers were sooo sweet, helpful, and attentive! I believe part of the reason why service flowed so easily here was because of those big red and green blocks they leave on everyone's table-- allowing the staff to know when it's time to come over and help us! Such an easy and effective system tbh. I also really appreciated how the servers took their time to chat with us and wanted to hear about our experience at Old World. My boyfriend and I ordered the Sausage Trio and the Jäger Fries and not longer after, it was ready at our table. First things first, I want to acknowledge that they mainly serve beer/pub food here, so everything pairs better when you're drinking. Unfortunately, we dug into our food without ordering any beer and found everything to be...INCREDIBLY salty. Funny enough, we were accidentally given a gigantic glass of their German beer and were told we could just keep it LOL. Was definitely a pleasant surprise and kept us going for the rest of the night! Although the food was a bit over-salted, we still enjoyed everything and finished all of the fries-- which was generously portioned! The fries alone could honestly feed up to 3-4 people. My favorite was definitely the sausage trio and I love how well it paired with the sauerkraut! They are mini sausages though, so they're definitely not the most filling-- especially if you're sharing with someone else like I did. The Biergarten in general exudes a charming and vibrant atmosphere with the outdoor space that includes rustic wooden tables and lots of colorful flowers. Guests can definitely enjoy a lively, communal vibe/aesthetic! With a diverse selection of craft beers and authentic German cuisine, the restaurant encourages socialization, which makes it a great place for gatherings! Overall, (minus the saltiness of some dishes) the service, food, and experience at the Biergarten was amazing and I'd love to visit here again one day and try more of what they have to offer!

Work ended early so I invited the hubby to happy hour. We decided on Biergarten coz we've never been there. Well, I'm glad we went coz this place didn't disappoint. The vibe was easygoing; it wasn't too busy yet. Our server was friendly and informed us about the red/green system. The items we ordered were tasty and delicious. Can't wait to return and enjoy their other offerings.

Parking is behind the restaurant/mall complex. Don't go past it. The hostess and servers were really nice and efficient. The inside decor is nice. It is a little dark. We got their pretzel and also a sausage on a bun as well as a whiskey sour. The pretzel was huge and came with cheese and mustard sauce. We asked for ranch and they also gave us garlic butter. The mustard was very good but much better on the sausage rather than the pretzel. The ranch and garlic butter were great with the pretzel. The sausage was a decent size but was overshadowed and overpowered by the many peppers and Sauerkraut, both of which were good. The sausage and bun at the Sausage Garden in Solvang are superior, but Biergarten's is not bad. The pretzel at both places is good but different styles. The whiskey sour was not watered down and was well flavored. On the whole, the service and experience was excellent and we would come back to try other stuff, but they just aren't as good as other comparable places we have been to elsewhere. 4 stars is about right.

I came back to try the dinner at the restaurant and I have to say, not bad at all. My kid and I love the big*ss pretzel which it was gone within 3mins. The sausage was perfect with mustard and the Schweinshaxe or pork shank was perfectly cooked. Bring back memories of Germany trip. The service is good, can slow sometime (especially when you need something) but it's aok. The beers selection is great and perfectly paired well with the foods. The only thing is that the whole place is big but feel abit distant and cold at the beginning.

Great food, cool vibes, and free events! What's not to love?! A nice tucked away German-themed village with weekly concerts and shows. You'll find some sweet deals in the market area as well, one dollar pastries are amazing!

My friend and I popped in here during the holidays with our dogs, we loved that it was dog friendly. We got the pretzel, I consider myself a pretzel connoisseur and this pretzel wasn't really it. I felt like it lacked flavor. The beer was great. Service could have been better as it felt like they would forget about the outside patrons.

I don't even know where to begin. . Something like a piece of heaven on earth! Made me happier than Disneyland lol I fell in love with the ambiance as we parked and just then I knew I was going to have a great day! Everyone working there was super sweet!! They have so much to offer and your tastebuds will be soo happy. I could come here everyday!!! Another plus is they have non alcoholic beer options. Yay! Bitburger is my favorite beer Go spend the day there and don't forget to get a delicious homemade Apple strudel that pairs nicely with an out of this world organic coffee from The Coffee Tale right across the way and you must shop at the German deli before you leave !!

The food here is just okay. The sausage sandwich was passable, while the cabbage roll was so salty that I had to order extra sides to balance it out. Similarly, the schnitzel sandwich was helped by the buns to counteract the saltiness, but the lack of hot sauces was a drawback. The Nurnberger was also just okay. On the upside, the beer selection is fantastic. The Slap and Tickle IPA stood out as particularly good. The ambiance is pleasant, making it a nice spot to hang out and enjoy a drink. The service was good too--they use a big block of red and green to let servers know when you need help, which is quite efficient. However, due to the consistently salty food, I'm hesitant to bring friends here for a group dinner.

We came here for Easter lunch (there is no brunch or buffet on Easter) and we are so glad we did! We ordered three different kinds of schnitzel with spaetzl, potato pancakes and paprikash. We also had two mixed drinks. It was so, so good! I ordered the chocolate espresso martini and it was a heavy pour. LOL. All of the food is great - the paprikash has a tomato base and large chunks of chicken in it. The potato pancakes were heavenly and came with a side of sour cream and applesauce. The schnitzels were of good size and they wre generous with the spaetzl. The atmosphere reminded me of when I lived in Germany and our waitress was Hungarian, which thrilled my Hungarian husband. Everyone was friendly and dressed in traditional German togs. Old World is a cute village with live bands and lots of little shops. There was a live band playing Beatles and Billy Joel in the concert hall. I hear this place is gorgeous at Christmas - we will be back for sure!

I'd pop into this little German village which is historical chateau look in border of Costa Mesa and HB. It has its own little private ample parking lot with security. Came on a Sunday with my wife in October for October fest feel and there was Dutch dog race and the restaurant was busy beer garden and interior dining. I order their best potato salad and hotdog combo Togo to get a taste of Germany . The waiting staff was splendid they took my order it was 30 min wait but heck we your the village and did shopping while waiting. Old world village is a charming place like slovang to be honest. They are very diverse as well. Old world charm with modernist at same time. Awesome food and place to hang out and tour with friends and family.

Staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The giant pretzel with cheese amazing. Outside crisp, inside soft and delicious. Came on a live band night: Rick Springsteen and Pat Benatar cover. They were really good. Only bad thing. Sitting second table from dance floor far side of entrance. Part way through first set. Someone started smoking what smelled like a clove cigarette. Luckily it was only a few minutes and the smell went away. Then during the second set. It started up again. Stronger and lasted longer. Who every was doing it was hiding it. But the stench was horrible. I would of preferred the scent of regular cigarettes, vape, pipe, or cannabis. That clove cigarette scent was horrible. Ending up leaving at the beginning of the second set.

If you're looking for a fun way to celebrate Oktoberfest in the OC, travel to a quaint Bavarian village without a passport!! We experienced Oktoberfest at the Biergarten in the Old World Huntington Beach for the first time. SO MUCH FUN! Even with the extreme heat, we were able to enjoy! From huge pretzels, German pastries and mouth-watering bratwurst to overflowing beer, weiner dog races and live traditional music, there's something for everyone! Wonderful customer service.

Took my wife and niece to check out the festival in the area. We were all hungry so we decided to eat beforehand. This place looked cute and was conveniently in the same plaza. Had some good indoor/outdoor seating. The decor looked great. Took us about 30 mins to be seating on a Sunday afternoon and was served our food super fast. The food was decent but on the greasy side but I expected it being a bar setting. The Jager fries were very good and their burger was also good. Wouldn't come again just because of how heavy the food is but most of it tasted great.

Pretty good, you get done good authentic German food. The pork shank was good, spatzel was good, rouladen was good.

I'd really love to give them a higher review because it holds a special place in my heart (we had our wedding reception here 40 years ago). We are here a few times a year for various events, including Octoberfest. Today we attended Bierfest and then went into the restaurant for a late lunch, early dinner. Everything was great but my only complaint is the menu items don't match the description. I ordered the pork roast with crispy skin and what I got was pre marinated pork loin slices that were baked. No skin at all. I was excited to see it on the menu since that's one of my favorite things at Hofbrauhaus. But a huge disappointment! I don't know why I keep bothering to come back and eat here. But the pretzel is awesome! Service is always slow.

Great place for a beer and German cuisine. Love going here with my wife to get away for a little bit. They offer dishes you don't really find other places. Solid beer menu. Extra nice to sit outside and imagine we're grabbing a meal somewhere in Europe... People that work there are exceedingly friendly. I haven't experienced Octoberfest or their live music yet! But we will sometime soon, I'm sure.

Was very disappointed in the pretzel fest. Pretzels were cold and stale. Could barely eat one. Beer was very expensive. Will not go again.

DONT COME for the bands if you want to dance, I guess this place is real life footloose! Security is UNNECESSARILY FORCEFULL!! They BRUISED my whole arm up!! I've tried to contact the business but of course NO RESPONSE so they clearly don't care for the safety of their customers. I need to know the security company so I can press charges. Sucks because I've been here before for the food and was pleased but this traumatic experience as a female being assaulted by men with intent to throw me down steps and hurt me further really turned me off to ever coming back.

Stopped in for the last Friday of Oktobetfest. Ordered a weekly special, vegetarian schnitzel. Ot was so good! Zucchini, cabazge and cheese shnitzel with fried panko. Came with delicious fries. The server was also our bartender and he was great. Food came out fast. Then we joined the festivities with two love bands for the night. Very fun Friday!

Came tonight for Oktoberfest, there were still a good amount of people for a Wednesday night. But then again, the World Series was playing on TV all over the place and the Dodgers won. Tried one Oktoberfest beer, it was light which is good for me - forgot to snap pics though. Shared a bratwurst and jalapeño cheese dog with sauerkraut and potato salad for sides with my husband. Food was tasty, crowd was nice and the whole place was cool. Glad we were able to come check it out before it ended.
