It is a place that I am very pleased and enjoy every time I go. The food is very delicious, the beer is very good. The owners are very friendly and attentive. I think they are also very clean in terms of hygiene. I am excited every time I go and I will continue to go.

I had a fantastic time at Das Bierhaus. The menu had an impressive selection of beers and dishes that paired perfectly. The Stapen was exceptional and full of flavor. The staff was welcoming and professional, ensuring everything was served promptly and with care. The cozy and lively atmosphere made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to beer enthusiasts and food lovers alike!

Ok food, very cramped seating, and a bit expensive. Beer is pretty good here though! Got the combo appetizer, cheese platter and wurst platter. Food was decent, but definitely not worth the price or portion size. In particular you only get 3 sausages for $23, which is kind of insane even if they're special German sausages. Decent selection of beer, Ludwig's had a bit more variety. Nevertheless, the beer was still great. All in all though, I enjoyed my time here. It was fun sharing the platters with friends!

I am giving this three stars because I think it was not well thought out for a group of 34 persons, mainly seniors who aren't that mobile. Our group was seated outside on a wood chip ground which made it difficult for wheelchairs and cane users. Besides that, we were given wood benches to sit on which made it even harder to get into your seat - four to a wooden bench sharing one table with another bench of four persons. We had to be careful when getting into and out of our seats because the benches would tip as well as the tables tipping onto you. You can imagine - bunched up seniors trying not to tip over and holding onto our plates/cups when one person moves. There really wasn't room except to sit because they stored all the outdoor heating lamps and extra chairs in that area. I have no idea what their logic was because there were ample outdoor seating on the concrete floor with tables that had induvial chairs with arms. It would have been the same size as to where we were sitting. It was Sunday and the restaurant wasn't crowed. If it wasn't for the food, it would probable be one star. The chicken schnitzel and spaetzle were excellent. Portions were ample; schnitzel crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; accompanied by fresh cranberries; speaetzle could have used more seasoning; mushroom gravy added more flavor and the squeezed lemon slices from the ice tea gave the meal a zest. Yummy delicious. Burger and fries were disappointing. the burger was just the patty and bun - no lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, etc. It was rather dry. Beef bratwurst, fries and sauerkraut - I would like to have the fries a little browner and crisper. Bratwurst and sauerkraut were okay. Pretzels and Cheese Appetizer - pretzels were not the best and the cheese looked like it was store bought. The pretzel tasted better with a combo of the mustard and cheese. The Greek pastries looked appealing and inviting. I could not decide on what to get, so I got one of each. The savory ones I never had before so I cannot compare. Would I purchase it again - no. It was not to my liking. The sweet ones I was familiar with. It could have been much crispier. I prefer the walnut over the pistachio. The walnut had more flavor. It was not soggy so that's a sign that it wasn't sitting that long. I was told they make their own Greek pastries, that's why I bought one each. I am a fan of baklava. If I am in that area again, I definitely would return for the chicken schnitzel and spaetzle.

Amazing bratwurst and schnitzel with spatzel noodles. Great selection of beers. I had the König Pilsner and loved it. Perfect temperature and choice of 500ml or 1L glass stein. The staff is attentive and friendly and there is ample indoor and outdoor seating. They also serve hamburgers that looked good; their fries are simple, but nicely prepared and the pretzel was amazing. The restaurant is associated with Olympus Greek Cafe, who have really, really good Gyros and kebabs, so there does wind up being something for everyone. I highly recommend Das Bierhauz!

Great little spot to enjoy some coffee or beer. Was great that they were open late hours. Wonderful atmosphere outside on the patio. Great staff - even hooked us up with a heater for us outside. I enjoyed an excellent cappuccino and some walnut baklava that was divine.

Tried Das Bierhauz last night, and it was a great experience. I ordered the pretzel, and wurst platter and both were exactly what I was craving. I enjoyed the spicy mustard over the sweet mustard, but both were good with the sauerkraut. Topped the meal with creme brulee cheesecake and a turkish coffee. Great experience, would recommend you try it.

Great service. My son loved the schnitzels. I am vegetarian and had egg plant which was not bad.

Stopped by for a drink before dinner I love Weiss beer and they have 4 options on tap. Good variety of beers on tap The pretzel was below average and sweet mustard was terrible Good place to have a beer

The food, service and ambiance here are fantastic. We chowed down on two veal jaeger schnitzels and they were fantastic. My family is from Germany and they felt right at home. We drank a huge glass of Fruh Kolsch and loved every drop. This made me feel like being in the Alt Stadt for sure. If you're in Mountainview and you want German food, then this is definitely a place to hit. Vielen Dank Bierhauz!

I had a pretty disappointing experience, a friend got me a gift card online for Das Bierhauz, so me, my wife and daughter came here for dinner. I ordered our food and when I tried to use the gift card to pay it kept getting denied, come to find out the gift card is for their Redwood City location, which is affiliated but they don't accept the same types of payment I guess. That seems like a major flaw in their system and should be made clear when gift cards are purchased. The food was ok pub food but in my opinion not worth the money. A kids cheeseburger is $16. Which is $1 less than a regular cheeseburger. Most expensive child's burger I've come across. Unfortunately now I'm stuck with a gift card to their Redwood City location, hopefully they accept it and I'm not grifted out of another $90

Went for happy hour on a thursday evening. Their happy our is a pretty good deal - I got a liter of strong cider for about $11 before tax/tip. I wasn't a fan of the 50s era old timey rock and roll they were playing. Service was very friendly.

We originally weren't sure if this was a German or a Mediterranean restaurant because there were two different names on the outside of the restaurant. The Biergarten tables and big Bavarian flags outside drew us in to check it out. It turns out that they are a blend of cultures since the food is mostly German but many of the desserts were Mediterranean. We only had room for the beer and German food on this visit, but we will definitely go back when we're in the area to try more next time! The veal was a bit thick (not pounded/flattened like the traditional version) but it was still very tender and tasty--especially with the jaeger-style mushroom sauce on top! The spätzle's texture and flavor was more like American Mac & Cheese , but again, the flavor was good--especially if you're a fan of melted cheese! Great place to go on a nice sunny day or after work to relax since it's right next to a Caltrain station.

Crazy busy. 1/2 hour wait for the Gyro plate I ordered at the counter. You can't order by scanning the QR code on each table. Why? Idk. The priority of service is the beer. Then cakes. Lastly the food. The gyro plate was tasty and plentiful. At $20 for the meal, it better be good. Buttered rice. Tender but salty gyro meat. Tasty warmed pita. Lettuce & tomato chopped small salad. If I do return, it won't be the day the German School of Silicon Valley has their German Holiday Market. Too crowded.

This restaurant is part of Olympus Caffe & Bakery, and has indoor and outdoor seating. I had the Gourmet Schnitzel, which is made with breaded eggplant; I wanted to try it since I had never seen it before. My husband had the Jaeger Schnitzel, which is, unfortunately, made with veal. (I would have tried to talk him out of it if I had realized before.) Both dishes came with a cheezy spaetzle and Lingenberry jam. He liked his meal. Mine was okay, but I think I would have liked the Chicken Schnitzel better. The jam is tasty, but does not go with either the creamy mushroom sauce or the cheezy spaetzle in my opinion. We got a slice of Pistachio cake to take home. Unfortunately, the cake sort of melted in the car; however, it still tasted great! The food is good quality and the employees friendly, so I would come again.

I love their beer happy hour here. Where else can you get a liter of beer for $10.95. They have a decent beer list of german and craft beer. They have a nice patio for day-drinking in the sunshine.

The food at this place is phenomenal - they have amazing German food & Mediterranean food. The sausages & the sauerkraut are amazingly fresh, the gyro is great, and they even have a pasta that is so fresh. The service is great, you can order on your phone or you can go instead and order, and the food will be brought to you. The ambiance is fantastic! There's plenty of seating inside & outside but outside feels like you are eating at a garden / brewery. It's so cozy and cute! Some people even play some board games while they eat, super cute / casual place in downtown Mountain View.

Patrick F.

Yelp
Overall a nice place to stop for lunch. I enjoy the outside seating area, which is very pleasant when the weather is nice. The order process of making your order inside and bringing your order to the table is efficient and works well. No waiting for a check when you're done. Food is good, I enjoyed the all beef bratwurst. The big plus is they have a great beer selection on tap. Again, for me enjoying a great beer outside on a nice day is always extra special. Also dog friendly for outside dinning another big plus.

Ordered from here via DoorDash and loved it. We both had the knackwurst which were great, loved the mustard and the (non-sweet) sauerkraut. The apple streudel was great and the creme brûlée cheesecake superb. I'll be back

There are so many ways to review a place and I try not to be negative but this place has issues. I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MY GUT. #1 - this is a Greek restaurant and a German restaurant. Two separate menus, but no differentiation. Different names for each. RED FLAG #2 - they do have traditional German dishes, but the deserts looked questionable. Black Forest chocolate cake looked like it had jam smeared on top. Red flag #3 - no one eating at 230pm - let's call this a pink flag, not quiet red After a long day in customer meetings my team of three we're looking for a place to eat. We were rotating who's choice it was and mine came up. Being of German descent, I have a lot of traditional foods that I love and I know that there's general foods that just about anyone can enjoy . I was very wrong about this place. I had the curry wurst with fries, my coworkers had a green salad which they thought would have Taziki. The sausage was completely flavorless and anemic. The solid was unappetizing. The fries were cooked well but was flavorless. To try and redeem the experience, I ordered a profiterole and slices of baklava, along with a pistachio cake. The stand-up star of this was the cake, I would come back just for that but only that. The amount of chocolate syrup just poured on top of the profiterole was trying to mask the fact that it was store-bought cream puffs. Pistachio baklava was indistinguishable from standard baklava. It was fine, but not worth having. My coworker asked for a sour cider, and the person taking our order offered up some thing that was nauseatingly sweet. One out of five experience , beautiful California weather aside the location is also right off train tracks and I felt like every five minutes. There was a loud train going by. Would not recommend

Came here after a coffee date. Been awhile since I've had a nice German weiner. The girl at the counter was nice and was easy to talk to. You order up front and get your number to bring to your table. I got the wurst platter and a Hefeweizen. The wurst platter and with 3 different dogs. They were all season pretty well and unique to themselves. I couldn't remember which was which but I definitely like them a lot. The mustard that came with the platter really elevated the taste of the bratwursts. Very chill place to grab a nice beer. Prost!

A group of us came around 6 PM on a Tuesday. Plenty of seats (indoor and outdoor). Most of the customers sat outside because it was a warmer brighter day. The staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. They had a casual to lively ambiance when we were there because a soccer game was on. I ordered a Das Burger and my wife ordered the Beef Bratwurst. The Das Burger is filled with beef patty, turkey bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and pickles in between a brioche bun. The beef bratwurst consists of beef sausage, garnished onion, mustard, and pickles. Both are served with fries and sauerkraut. Their fries are really good. Hot and crispy. Next time we'll try their beers!

Juliana P.

One of my favorite spots on Castro Street. They have really ample outdoor seating options that are shaded by large luscious trees -- and great for large groups. You can expect: friendly staff (who give awesome suggestions), solid shareable dishes, and a prime location to start a German beer crawl in Downtown Mountain View. You have to take a sip every time the CalTrain goes by! Prost!

Came with a group of ~25 on a reservation, and they handled the volume fairly well. There were certain cases where some people at one of the three tables got food significantly faster than others (like an hour difference), but appetizers and drinks came fast. One drink order was forgotten but the server was super nice when reminded. The drinks range in alc % which gives a lot of options, and the menu is split into german food and mediterranean food. I got the döner kebab plate and the meat was very tender. The grapefruit beer is really yummy - especially for a beer, but it is.. pretty much juice at 2.2%. They have non-alcoholic beer too! I thought that was cool.

Das Bierhauz is run by the same owners as Olympus Cafe, so they also share a menu with them. I got the jaeger shnitzel plate, which is a classic for German food. I ordered at the counter and then found a seat at their patio. The patio area is nice and shaded, so I definitely recommend sitting there on a nice day. I enjoyed the jaegerschnitzel, although I did wish that there was some sauerkraut to cut the heaviness. Since they share a menu with Olympus, I also got an Olympus omelette, which hit the spot. I managed to finish most of the omelette and as a meat lover, I really enjoyed both dishes. Would love to return to try their other dishes!

Vicky Y.

Yelp
Loved the vibes and the abundance of outdoor seating. Great place if you're looking for a spot for large gatherings/hangouts! Here's what we got: Chicken Schnitzel Plate (4.75/5): the mac and cheese was mid-- reminded me of Kraft mac and cheese-- but the star of the was the chicken schnitzel and the mushroom sauce! Love how saucy it was and the chicken was perfectly fried. If you're a chicken katsu fan, you're going to love this dish! The lemon and lingonberry sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and sour if you choose to add it onto your dish. Wurst Platter (4/5): was an interesting experience tasting three different types of sausages with varying tastes and textures. All were juicy but nothing really stood out. I've never had sauerkraut before and it was surprisingly sour. This seems pretty authentic but only get it if you enjoy sour food.

Nancy F.

Yelp
This is a German/Mediterranean eatery with a nice outside patio. Hard to figure out what they are going for. Seems like it was called Olympus and Bierhaus. Really not sure , but both Styles of food on the menu. Loved the German beers on the menu. Cannot speak for the food, outside of ordering a pretzel with cheese sauce. It took over 20 minutes for a soft pretzel! The cheese sauce was awful of the cheap mix variety. So, will have to give them another try, but wait times looked long. It wasn't that crowded either. How long does it take to heat a pretzel? One nice feature is you order at counter and get the beer right away. Also, they have a nice happy hour from 3 pm to 5:30 pm m-f. Will have to try it again as I like the outside atmosphere.

Lloyd C.

Yelp
Nice place with 3 restaurants-in-one. The ambiance is nice and they have both indoor and outdoor seating, but on nice days, the draw is to eat outside. The service is ok. Food was pretty good. We went with the German food. We got the Wurst Platter - veal bratwurst, beef bratwurst, beef knockwurst, sauerkraut, garnished onions, dusseldorf mustard, sweet bavarian mustard, roll bread. This was a good sampler plate to try different sausages. This was good. Pretzel with melted cheese (additional charge). Served warm with soft inside and toasted outside. This was one of the best pretzels we have had!!!

Mihai P.

Yelp
I went when it had medium reviews, and it exceeded the expectations. All the food we had was tasty, the staff was nice and helpful. The only reason for cutting a star was that they have some strange transition between lunch and some in-between menu for which we had to wait a bit. Good selection of beers too.

Gioni R.

I'm here for the beers & atmosphere. The foods here are just ok. We ordered sampler plate, schnitzel was fried with lots of butter. Had better pretzels. Service was good until it got busy. I would come back for great German beers.

Das Bierhauz in old town Mountain View is a wonderful place to enjoy beers and food in a beer garden overlooking the Main Street and historic train station. The customer service is excellent and my significant other was static to see his favorite beers on tap and beers that are often served at Oktoberfest in Germany. I enjoyed a lagger sampler, that was delicious with generous pours. My kiddo loved the kids' chicken nuggets and the freshly baked pretzel that we shared. There was plenty of shade and the patio & beer garden is dog friendly too. We will definitely return to Das Bierhauz next time we are in Mountain View.

Lots of seating, next to the cal train. Theres heater lamps. The cuisine of this place is interesting. Theres german, mediterranean, and fettuccine Alfredo ? Interesting indeed haha I got the Chicken Schnitzel Plate and it was alright. Reminded me of chicken katsu. I wasnt sure how to eat the jam, on its own or on the noodles or the chicken? The happy hour prices are pretty good, u can get a half liter of beer for $5 before tax, or a 1 liter for $10 before tax, which comes out to be 4.23 cups. My friends only got one beer and were feeling great at the end of it Note that happy hour does end early. Its from 3pm-5:30pm

Solid beer garden! This is my second time here. Service is always pretty fast. You come in to order before finding a seat outside. Thank god they had heat lamps since it was cold outside. Drinks were also solid. I got the grapefruit radler and it was absolutely delicious!

Caroline K.

Yelp
Perhaps this is very highly rated due to location? But the food was disappointing. My cheese plate had toasted white bread and some sliced provolone that tasted like it came right from Safeway. The pretzel was ok but again tasted like heated up store bought pretzel and the cheese also tasted like it was out of the jar. The "kid's meal" prices were ridiculous . $13 for a hot dog and $14 for a burger ? I asked if they could give me a hot dog plate and charge me extra just for another hot dog (no fries) and the answer was no. I don't know how this place is highly rated and Stein's just down the block has worse ratings when it has great food, beer and ambiance. Yeah the outdoor patio here is nice but I took out of town guests here based on Yelp and was quite disappointed and embarrassed to be honest !

Adam S.

Yelp
The service was fine and the staff was friendly, and informative. Also, the food was edible and fortunately I did not feel or get sick afterwards. I ordered a Amber beer, a cheeseburger, fries, and the black forest chocolate cake. Why am I leaving 1 star? In short, the price for value was way off... Normally when I pay as much as I did to eat out ($40+) I expect the food to be made with fresh ingredients and cooked there. However I'm not convinced anything was actually made or prepared there. Instead it seemed like everything was frozen and microwaved, and or pre-packaged and opened before serving. I find this to be appalling and gross. Additionally for frozen food, it was all very bland, dull, and the fries weren't even salted. I will not come here again. Lastly, the Amber beer was terrible.

Great drinks and food! Came here for work and had a great time. The pretzels and wings were great

Duha S.

Food came out fast and was really good. We got the speatzle (chicken and vegetarian version with eggplant). The noodles were perfectly cooked and wonderfully cheesy. The berry jam on the side was delicious and tart- a nice palate cleanser. The fried eggplant was soooo good. I heartily recommend for any vegetarian. However it was a little oily. For two plates our total came to about $50 but it was a lot of food and I left stuffed. The place was pretty empty on a Sunday night but that only meant our food came out very fast.

There are some fusions of different foods and cultures that you really question and wonder if they will work. For Das Bierhauz, the combo of German beers and Mediterranean foods(Turkish desserts and Pastries) it really works! I'm a person who loves to drink. I found a place that has a giant boot of beer! You had me by the liter! No one should drink on an empty stomach, so if you're a fan of pretzels. Chicken souvlaki or gyro plate either lamb or beef. You have found your happy place. They have different bratwurst from beef to veal. And different specialized coffees from espressos, macchiatos, to dirty Chai lattes. From you see from our pictures you will find some delicious foods that we were able to dine on. But I am curious about the different desserts. They have that I was just too full to not try... Carrot cake looked amazing as well as in napoleon type pastry . It looks like it had some powdered sugar. And the place has everything you could want in a European German Mediterranean way. They also have a happy hour. Miss staffier was quite friendly. They have great seating for indoor and out. If you're a type of person, that has trouble making up your mind. No, definitely find something here that you would like. And if you're a homesick student who misses out on European or mediterranean culture. This may warm your heart as it did my stomach. I will be back! It's definitely a place where I would bring visitors or people from out of town!

stopped by here on a friday night around 6pm for some drinks and dinner. this place has a small indoor part and a huge patio section spilling out onto the corner of castro street. the inside was empty but outside was mostly all full at this time. i recommend grabbing a table and then going up to order at the counter. this place is two restaurants in one--biergarden and olympus café. the german side has classic like sausages and pretzels while the greek side has gyros and pitas. there's about 20 different beers on tap as well. we got the lager in a boot and the cider which were both solid. the selection is somewhat limited but overall will have something for everyone. for food we had the gyro wrap and jagerschnitzel. the cutlet was very crispy with creamy mushroom sauce and came with cheesy spatzel. the veal itself was a little tough but still tasty. the gyro wrap was ok but nothing to write home about. i couldn't help but compare this place to ludwigs biergarten down the street: ludwig's may have tastier food and greater selection on tap but this place is about 20-30% cheaper! so pick your poison. overall had a great time and will come back to try out their happy hour deals

If I were in the area and had time, I'd stop for a beer. Otherwise, there are plenty of good beer places where I live that have way better food. I made a point to try this place. For food, order at the counter. Get a number. Have a seat. After ordering food I was looking around and noticed no one else was having a meal. Not a good sign. It was a wet night so not many people outside. (which would have been a good day time / warm night spot). Inside with the tables filled, it was a tight space - like twist or turn to walk between tables. There were people hawking to see who was going to finish next and then sort of eye and hover. Since we were the only ones eating entrees, we received our food fairly quickly. There was a reason for it.... ***Pretzel- bread like with soft center. It worked but I was wondered where they are buying those? ***Veal brawt with f.f and kraut. - good sausage highly doubt home made, below mediocre shoestring f.f. from the freezer and the kraut wasn't delicious. Value here didn't exist. *Veal schnitzel - patty was def from a bag in the freezer and thrown in the deep fryer. It was partially burned and hard crispy. Lots of mushrooms in the sort of brown sauce. Sauce was bland. The spaetzle wasn't fresh and reminded me of a store bought, on the shelf, add the water, pour in the cheese packet, mac n cheese. Wouldn't do it again. *A coke in a can. It was all self serve and no cups or ice was out. Maybe we should have asked. ****A liter of beer. That was the best thing all night. And speaking of beer, there wasn't anything that's not a standard now a days. With a German flag in front, I was hoping for a keg of something regional. No such luck. There was a bunch of greek / med food on the menu. Marin Sun Farms is a good source for meat, so maybe a burger? The desserts in the case looked like it came out of a box, so we passed. $71, pre tip (no real service to speak of): won't do it again.

Fun environment and a nice place to wind down after work. Great service on top of that! Definitely coming back!

The food very clearly is reheated trash from Costco business center or some other supply store. I'm just waiting for pop tarts or a frozen Betty Crocker came to show up on the menu. Service was ok and ambience is fine because it's on Castro which is why people go there. Beer selection is ok. Steins nearby is better ambience and menu for sure. There was another beer garden here called Bierhaus previously and I really liked that but Mountain View seems to have changed. The owner of the building, I guess, liked the concept and kicked the restaurant out, took their liquor license and opened a copy cat concept but with bad food.

Perfect spot for summer evenings and fall afternoons. This place gets big brownie points for their large outdoor seating area, friendly service, and delicious food. Sitting outside with a hot chocolate or a German beer in a boot glass transports you straight to Europe. In the evenings the trees are lit with LED rope lights which ads a romantic appeal. There is a confusion here because it appears it is actually a double restaurant, the other being named Olympus, with two separate menus. But the confusion doesn't really matter since it all works out in the end. I wish we could order food from the table, but we can order libations via mobile app which is nice. I've seen this space go through quite a few different ownerships over the years and I'm pleased with the current setup. They're doing a great job.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We had a large group. We sat outside, but with the large heat lamps that was tolerable. The beer we had was amazing. The food was good. They had middle eastern food and traditional German food. The group I was with ate a blend of everything. I would definitely go back. As usual the price is more than I expected, but that is pretty normal these days.

Food tastes like pre bought and microwaved. Service is above average. Ambiance with Caltrain buzzing by is a bit annoying. The best part of my OKtober fest experience is the 20 German beer collection! Yummy indeed, no Bavarian music played here...

Amazing options with great customer service. Fire pits in the evening with a cold beer is the best way to wind down. Plus great deserts.

Food was alright, but I've had better. The schnitzel plate was bland and the macaroni was giving Kraft. The Kebab was dry, but the customer service was good. | IG: Smackinfood
