Das Schnitzel Haus

We showed up on a Friday about an hour after they opened, and the place was already packed. It was so busy that we were moved to the overflow room on the left, and within about 20 minutes, that room was completely full as well. Not long after, there was a line forming outside. That alone speaks volumes about how good the food is. Our server and the entire staff while clearly pushed to their limits, were super friendly, polite, and helpful. They didn’t miss a beat. Service did take a bit longer than expected, but given the sheer number of people in the restaurant, it was completely understandable. The food was fantastic. I ordered the chicken schnitzel with potato pancakes and a salad, and it was absolutely perfect. I opted for a side of mushroom gravy as I like it on my potato pancakes. I also tried the pierogi, normally a Polish dish, but the photos had me curious. They did not disappoint. They’re a little different from the traditional Polish pierogi I’m used to, but the filling was excellent and the outside had a slight crunch. Honestly, they were better than many other pierogi options in the area. This is a fantastic restaurant, well worth both the money and the experience. I would definitely go back.

I had the chicken and dumpling soup, and the dumplings were very tiny which I think we're actually spaetzle. The soup itself was very good and I also had the chicken cordon bleu and it was fresh, hot was delicious. I'm glad I asked for the cheese sauce on the side I didn't care for that as much, but you might like it. My daughter had the sauerbraten and although the meat was tender and lean, it was a bit too tangy for her. Our server was wonderful and she kindly offered to get her a different meal, which she did. And we were very satisfied. The service was very good our server was very attentive and polite.

All week I was craving good comfort food made from the soul. This was it. Also, my first time ever having schnitzel anything and I was so impressed. I will be coming back next month when I'm back in town to try something new. The cucumber salad was divine - a definite must try.

Food...superb! Atmosphere...quiet & warming. Service...just right. Their sauerkraut balls are the best I have ever had including the ones I made homemade. Potato cakes are devine. Everything is absolutely amazing. Only thing I would have to say negatively about this place is they should offer a larger variety of beers as my gut doesn't seem to like certain beers. Come here every time we are in the area.

The food always tastes super fresh and home-made! Love the beer selection. They have the best service and staff out of all the Parma spots.

The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. We started with the sauerkraut balls which were crispy and delicious with a fantastic aioli on top. I had the stuffed veal with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut and my husband had the sampler plate. Everything was amazing and our server Jenna was awesome! Can’t wait to go back and try more.

Had the girl behind the bar she was good. Had the duck hit the spot...had the kolsch it was cold ...rolled it up on my way home. We will be back to das schnitzel with the crew!

1st time visit as I live out of state. Amazing food, Amazing service! Thanks for an excellent experience handling my family reservation of 12.

Thursday, November 16, 2023 Das Schnitzel Haus tastes like childhood. From the food, to the drinks, to the atmosphere. Such comforting food. The sauerkraut is phenomenal. A MUST when you're in town.

Went here Christmas Eve for Dad's bday dinner before church. Our group of 7 was seated in the party house next to the main building. LOVED the coziness and holiday decor. Wonderful atmosphere. It could seat several other largish parties, too. We all enjoyed our meals. I had the Deutsche Platte, basically a German sampler platter. If you are unsure what to order and eat meat, this is a great option. Only slight miss was that our server could have mentioned that my son's lamb shank would take 20 minutes. We were a bit time-limited; we also should have mentioned that to our server when we sat down. Not a big deal and we were enjoying our company.

Das Schneitzal Haus is a favorite in Parma! Authentic food and atmosphere, you're sure to walk out with a full belly and great service. Their menu has changed recently, with less options, but it looks like they still have all their house specialities. The previous menu was a whole book, and I get overwhelmed when presented with too many options. Food- If you're a meat lover and want to try a variety of items, the Wurste Platte is for you! Honestly, it's enough for 2 people to share. It contains Bratwurst, Knockwurst and Hungarian Sausage. Served with 2 pierogies, caramelized onions and sauerkraut. Beer- Locally brewed and homemade! Goes great to wash down dinner!! Parking- it's hidden, but parking is also available in the rear of the restaurant!

I have been here a few times in as many years. I haven't had a bad experience at any visit. The waitress is always friendly. Some days are busier than others. And you have to expect longer service delays. But that's not a problem for good tasting food. This place is located on pearl road just north of snow road. It's in a very easy to get into and out location. I was told they have a brewery across the street. But I have never been to it.

Schnitzel was awesome, beers was great and service was friendly. They have several sister-restaurants which seem to have a slightly different focus in what they offer.

This was visit the family had to do per our mother/wife. You approach the building and then walk inside and you can really feel the German pride at Das Schnitzel Haus. We go there a little after them opening and there already a good number folks in already. As time went on, it really started getting packed, which had you feeling that was bound to be really good. Ashley was our server. Very cheerful and was aware of dietary restrictions because the menu is not labeled but the kitchen can make adjustments for a few dishes. I selected the baked walleye, gluten free with no breading. A good sized filet of walleye and it was cooked so well with the spices and garlic butter. I really liked the green beans with the garlic flavor. The potato salad looks like au gratin potatoes but it doesn't have the taste. Definitely a bit of a shock to me. A had a little bit of it, my mom really loved it so she's getting the leftovers! My parents got their own wurst plattes. A bratwurst, knockwurst and a Hungarian sausage. Sizable links for sure. Really good and strong flavor on each. My brother got the burger with french fries (at a German restaurant, but whatever). It was well complemented with the cheese, German spice blend and toppings. One small negative was the patty size was much smaller than what we're accustomed to having. Overall, still good he said. Overall, really enjoyed my time there. It sure seemed like everyone else was too. Danke Schoen Das Schnitzel Haus!

Amazing food, excellent service and craft beers. What else could you ask for? Not to mention being located in Parma (which I love). Highly recommend. Try to come here every time we're in town because we miss it so much. It's a must try!

The staff is friendly. The service was very slow. The portion size on one of the meals was not worth the price. They did have a nice menu selection.

It was my first visit to Das Schnitzel Haus. The food was spot on! Everything was quite good and authentic (we were just in Germany this summer). I had sauerbraten, spaetzle and German potato salad. I loved it all and was so happy to have leftovers. My son loved his kase schnitzel. My mom said the paprikash was excellent. We were seated in what seemed like is maybe a porch in the summer. So not in the main restaurant. It was quieter than the main restaurant but by the end of the evening we felt kind of isolated and a bit chilly. We arrived on time for our 6:45 reservation. We ordered by 7 and didn't get our meals until about 8 pm. I'm not certain why the delay. Not being in the main restaurant we couldn't tell if they were understaffed or overcrowded or if there was an issue. It did seem others who arrived after us left before us, so perhaps there was a glitch. We didn't get any appetizers. Their kolsch Beer was tasty. All in all we loved everything and the server was kind and helpful and efficient but the wait time (with no explanation) was a downer.

As a Yelp Elite for 11 years, I can say with confidence that the Yelp App saves lives. Ok maybe that's a bit much but I truly would be lost without it. I found my way to Cleveland to visit family and attend a concert. The trip was amazing up to that point and we wanted to end our trip on a high note. My sister was craving Chicken Paprikash, Pierogies, and Schnitzel. She was convinced there had to be a restaurant in the Cleveland area that could fit the bill. This is where the Yelp App comes in. I did a simple search for Chicken Paprikash and Das Schnitzel Haus came right up. Das Schnitzel Haus also carried a 4.2 Yelp rating. What more was there to think about? We hopped in the car and made our way to Pearl Road in the Parma part of Cleveland. We pulled into the parking lot and beheld the glowing yellow sign that let us know we were in the right place. Immediately upon entering the service was first rate. We were seated right away and there were waters on the table in less than a minute. Next thing you know we had an ice-cold pint of Helles in our hands. Life was good. The vibe of this place is awesome. Plates of Schnitzel were whizzing past me and aromas of brats and pierogies filled the air. We feasted like Royality in this place. We ordered up everything we had been craving! We got the Chicken Paprikash, Pierogies, and of course Das Schnitzel! The cook on Das Schnitzel was perfect. We left there feeling overfed and euphoric. I only wish I could go back but I live in Virginia. Danke schön Schnitzel Haus.

Food was not good, and they were out of everything at 5:00PM. Ambiance was greater than usual, but the food declined terribly. The waiter was great, and it was not his fault, he took care of our party of 20, attended a table of probably 10 and another large party while working the bar. Couldn't wait to Pauline's Helle but they were out, ordered a lamb shank but as the dinners were coming out was told they are out, ordered something else, asked for menu. Ordered something else and told it was out also. Finally ordered Cevapi sandwich. It was tasteless, and the fries were also. Two of the Chicken Paprikas dinners were fine, but one was watery. (And I mean watery, like they didn't have enough and added water). Most people said the food was not good, but they ate it. All in all, I will not go back as it has gone downhill.

This was my first time trying German food so I had no idea what to expect. The perogies and German chocolate cake were exceptional. Rueben sandwich came with a hefty portion of green beans. The portions are large.

Wow- this place was great. Service was excellent, food was amazing. Big portions do come with an appetite. Would definitely come back.

Very good bratwurst sandwich and kolscjh beer. The horseradish mustard was great and service very good The German potato salad was sweet without mayonaise , , very good. Took potato salad home for wife as she likes, Nice old school ambiance, sat at dark wood bar

The food was great and so was our server. The host was not good at all. He sat us next to the door and the door didn't close whenever someone came in and it was 45 degrees out. We brought it to both his attention and our server. No one came to look at the door and the host never asked if he could move us. So ambiance was not great this visit. Hopefully they fix their door before winter really hits.

Absolutely amazing food. Everything we had was delicious. Great portion sizes. Friendly staff. Will absolutely be back if I have the opportunity.

Absolutely delicious Paprikash, just like my grandma made. I had it delivered, and the food was still very hot and It was so good, I am going into a food coma

Chicken paprika was made with canned chicken. For the prices they charge it should have at least been actual cooked chicken. Not a $2 dollar can. I won't go back.

The best pierogies I've ever had. No question! Potato pancakes could have been crispier but they had lots of flavor. We sat outside and it made for a nice appetizer!

I haven't had German food this good since I was in Germany. The red cabbage was almost just like my mom made, the service was surprisingly fast, (and it was a busy Friday night) good atmosphere (but alas no German music) very friendly waitstaff. The Black Forest torte didn't have Kirschwasser, so it didn't taste the way a German one would, but it was ok. I live in North Carolina, and am sad that I am so far from a good German restaurant.

Had to send corned beef sandwich back because it was rubbery and fatty. I Ordered a different kind of sandwich and it arrived when everyone else was done. I ate while everyone else watched me. A wrong drink was brought to the table. Our table of 3 shared one mini loaf of bread. When I asked for more bread, we were informed there would be a $3 charge. Really? This used to be my favorite restaurant but now I am rethinking. Branka used to be concerned with pleasing a customer. The manager on duty just had excuses for the corned beef they should have been embarrassed to serve.

No complaints here. Service was fast. Was told the main dishes are made completely from scratch, and the attention to detail on them was there. Food was delicious. Might be the best German in Cleveland! Better prices than Hofbrauhaus.

We love eating German food and this was some of the best I have ever had. There was nothing that we disliked. The service was 5 stars. The restaurant was short staffed, but we didn't even notice. Our food came out in timley fashion and was presented nicely to us. This restaurant reminded my of my grandmother cooking. If that is what you are looking for, then this place will fit your needs. Prost!

Server Jenna was great! Recommended: Appetizer: potato pancakes Main: Lamb Shank Sides: mashed potato Go here now ! Great food, great taste, and great service!

Great!! ethnic menu. Well flavored. Made me feel young and eating my aunts goulash and spatzels. Cucumber salad was great. I'm gonna try the whole menu with many return visits

Decent German food. Really liked the potato pancakes. The chicken paprikas was just okay. Service was excellent. Ambiance is moderately nice to casual.

Always have a great meal here. The food is delicious. The only menu item that I did not like was their version of chicken paprikash. Would love to share my recipe with them!! The wait staff is kind and courteous. The dining area is clean despite the high volume of customers. Decor a little out dated, but so what. It's the food we go for.

The food is always excellent! I highly recommend the sauerbraten, and the strudel. The remodel in the restaurant is very nice too.

In town visiting family & wanted to try something that we don't have at home. Das Schnitzel Haus was a nice surprise. It felt like we were transported to Bavaria with the beautiful German decor, excellent beer & people speaking German all around us. Our server was very helpful in suggesting and explaining the dishes. Service was attentive and prompt. The stand out is the food. Everything was delicious and in generous portions. Not pictured but do get the apple strudel and the Black Forest cake. They are to die for!

Food was very good but ordered online and clicked curbside pickup, entered type & color of car. After 15 minutes past scheduled pickup time, I called & asked how much longer. I was told they do not have curbside pickup but someone did bring out my order. Don't know how much longer I would have waited if I didn't call.

I was looking forward to a relaxing dinner at Dad Schnitzel Haus, but Tina G [the server]'s behavior completely ruined the evening. I asked if the establishment served beef stroganoff she said, "No. somebody else called asking that earlier today, it shows us having l it online, but I don't know why. But, we do have Veal stroganoff as a special". I was perplexed, why they would offer Veal stroganoff but not beef stroganoff, but ok. I took some time reviewing the menu and I clearly asked for Veal stroganoff special. Whilst reviewing the menu and waiting for my food, there were arguments amongst the server and other employees about how she provided false information about who was not supposed to be working, and raised voices between staff about how she creates confusion and drama. When my order arrived, it was the wrong dish. I asked "this is veal stroganoff?" She said no, it's Veal Paprikash. I said, I ordered the special Veal stroganoff. The server inattentively argued that she said Veal paprikash; which I assure you, she did not. I kindly asked to take the order to go. The server offered and brought out the wrong dish. I questioned why she would recommend veal paprikash I was looking for a stroganoff dish and I should have followed my gut. Instead of apologizing and rectifying the mistake, she became argumentative and insisted I was incorrect. I called back, and asked to speak with a manager and; who I assume is the same person answered and said that there was no manager, and the owner is rarely there, indicating that I would have to leave my contact information otherwise I would not be able to get in touch with the owner. Seems fishy to me. This unprofessional behavior left me feeling disrespected. I paid for a dish that I do not like but I will not be returning to this establishment. (BY THE WAY, the restaurant across the street has beef stroganoff).

Wow, Das Schnitzel Haus is just fantastic! The food is amazing, best German food I've ever had. I've eaten here many times and have never had a bad experience or meal. My Florida relatives always want to eat here when they come visit because the food is so good. Our most recent experience was just perfect, our server Vladi was awesome, he knew the menu and was super friendly and helpful. We tried the cherry strudel for the first time, it was so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend trying a dessert. The ambience here is great, it feels like a German restaurant. Am a little sad they got rid of the kase speatzel, it was so good. But there are so many great menu choices, something for everyone. Even the bread they give you at the start of your meal is amazing. If you're considering eating here, give it a try, Das Schnitzel Haus will quickly become a favorite!

Delicious!! From the bread (OMG, it is so very good and served warm!), to the salad (I had the gherkin salad which is a cucumber/dill salad) to the Wiener Schnitzel, everything was delicious. Our waitress even put a fresh pot of coffee on for me. My sister had the Kase Chicken and reported that it was also delicious. We both had more than enough and took a hefty container of leftovers!! I am so looking forward to introducing my husband to this gem!!

We discovered about this place from Oktoberfest and liked it. We decided to check this place and were not disappointed. For appetizers, we shared roasted Hungarian peppers, sauerkraut balls and potato pancakes. My boyfriend really liked the potato pancakes cause they were not greasy. I wished they were more crispier. The sauerkraut balls and the Hungarian peppers were so good. The sauerkraut balls were not too sour at all. Also, I got a liver dumpling soup. The broth was great and hearty but I did not like the texture of dumplings. For entree, I got Deutsche Platte (Samples) which consisted of goulash with spaetzles, sausages and pork schnitzel. The schnitzel was delicious. I never had something like that. Tasty and not greasy at all. The sausages had good seasoning but not firm. The beef goulash was yummy but the spaerzles let it down cause they were to doughy. Overall, it was great and fun to share all these foods with family and friends.

Potato salad overly sweet. Sauerbraten tough Spatezle was super tender. Peroigies fried?

The food was good. Had a little weight. The waiter was OK atmosphere was wonderful no problems.

Such polite employees, absolutely wonderful. Started off with the Bavarian pretzel, served warm with German mustard as well as a cheese sauce. Nice taste and enough to share Next had the Sauerkraut balls, stuffed with cream cheese, corned beef and sauerkraut. It had a breaded coating, also very good. my main course was Jager Schnitzel, 2 nice size pcs of breaded pork smothered in a brown gravy with mushrooms ( just like Grandma used to make ) with really good red cabbage and speatzel. The speatzel lacked a little flavor however the gravy picked it up All of that with a couple of German beers...Yum..you gotta go and check this place out

Enjoyed it. Potato pancakes were awesome. With melted cheese. I mean, come on! The breading was nice a crisp. If we ever make back to Cleveland we will be back. Staff was great.

My sister and I had our first visit. I now understand why so many people love it. The food was delicious. The menu had so many options. I had the schnitzel with spaetzle. She had stuffed cabbage with mashed potatoes. We left happy, tummies full, and enough leftovers for lunch the next day. The service was fantastic. The atmosphere was a comfortable, old world European. We definitely will return.

I'm not an authority on German food so take this with a grain of salt, but the meal was pretty good. Ordered the jaeger schnitzel with red cabbage and salad. The schnitzel was hot, crispy, tasty, and covered in a brown gravy with mushrooms. The gravy wasn't a super complex flavor, but was a welcomed source of moisture.. without it and the dish would easily be plain and dry. Understandably really this dish reminded me of Japanese katsu with a different sauce. So it was a familiar yet different experience. Pretty good. The red cabbage had a slight tanginess with some warm spices, rightfully seems like a popular choice from all the pics. Vladdy was a great server. Super nice and helpful explaining the whole menu and beers, differences between dishes, and his favorites. He knew I wasn't sure what side dishes to get so he assured me that if I didn't like anything, then he'd make it right. Top notch Lots of other options on the menu that sounded good so pretty good chances you'll have a solid meal. Oh and local beers from the brewery across the street

Best German food I have had! Everything we have ordered from Das Schnitzel Haus has been fantastic. They have a great variety of food and drinks. The staff is always helpful and kind. Our whole family loves this place.

Was recommended by many so I had to try it and wasn't disappointed. I had the Deutsche platte and it was excellent. Great schnitzel, sausage, spaetzl and red cabbage. All excellent flavor. Wait staff was attentive and pleasant. Ambience was great for a mom and pop German restaurant. Will go back again when in the area for business. Great job!

One of the absolute best restaurants in cleveland! Food is second to none and I love the laid back atmosphere

Just great food ,ambience and service with a smile. We will return again and again. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

I never had a bad meal here. Everything was great and the service was excellent. You should call ahead to make sure you don't have any wait.

We had a family birthday dinner at Das Schnitzel Haus tonight. It looked like it had been updated since I was last there. Brighter and more comfortable chairs. Our server was very nice and very attentive. Das Schnitzel Haus's food tastes every bit as homemade as it is. The special care they take in making their food is evident in every single bite. I highly recommend trying the Wurst Plate. Gives you a sample of their skillfully made sausages. This restaurant is a good choice anytime!

This is real-deal Eastern European comfort food. The sauerkraut balls were tender inside. The Reuben was the best ever, it was very moist and tangy. Bread was airy and toothsome although the butter was not soft. Service by Tina was excellent and attentive. The strudel was great filling, cheese. Dough was slightly tough. All things considered I would give it a solid 8.5 out of 10. For me, that's high praise.

Food is always delicious and service is great! Good selection of drinks. Wide variety of dishes on menu to appeal to anyone.

Food is always fresh and delicious and the servers are pleasant and Happy to be here, I highly recommend the Hefevizen on draft
