Gourmet Haus Staudt

Nice German beer garden style atmosphere and great German store in the front. That’s about all the positives I have for this place. The service is chaotic and the food honestly the worst German food I’ve ever had. The Käsespätzle were some kind of soupy pasta with random shredded cheese on it. Absolutely disgusting. Replying to the owner: I did indeed order it from the menu. No special requests....

Staff/ beer tenders are friendly and can help you decide on a beer. They have lots of local and international options on tap. Indoor and outdoor seating. Long picnic style tables as well as bar stools. Food menu is German beer hall themed bratwurst mostly. I usually just get an order of fries with curry ketchup. I’m plant based / vegetarian so that’s all that I get. I tried potato pancakes and they were okay nothing exciting but good for a snack. Friends have gotten their meat options and they didn’t have complaints. Great place for a day beer! Cheers!

I love this place so much I almost always eat my food before I remember to take photos …which is why it took me so long to review this place XD The food is amazing The main waitress/host(?) is really chill, the food is always delicious. As someone who can’t eat most pork due to a lack of a gallbladder, I can handle the pork sausages here?! Which is amazing. The imported beer is amazing and won’t mess up my stomach. If you have dietary issues, give this place a chance. Prices are totally fair for the amount and quality of food you receive. Kinda want to gatekeeper this place lmao but too good not to share. Some of the best fries in the Bay Area also they have the best curry ketchup :D

Highly recommended spot for a chill drink and some good German food. They have a wide variety of beers/ciders and their sausages are very tasty.

Dog friendly outdoor dining. Delicious German food with a great selection of German and domestic beers on tap. Root beer is also very good.

Great beer. Menu is a bit limited but the food is good. Like their outdoor seating best, but even that can get a bit noisy.

Dropped by late after dinner to grab some dessert. Tried the raspberry chocolate cake and the tiramisu. The cake was decent, but the tiramisu was honestly the worst I’ve ever had—dry, hard, and seemed stale. When I brought it up, the person at the counter was dismissive, though they eventually swapped it for the tres leches, which turned out to be much better than the other two. Overall, not a great first impression—mainly due to the poor service.

We finally managed to visit and had a couple of good beers with a pretzel. Service was good and fun to experience a German beer hall layout in the Bay Area. The Gourmet Haus Stadt is located right next to the train station, so it's an easy find from both San Francisco and the South Bay. The best bit for us was wandering the attached German shop. An incredible selection of food, wine and beer that brought back lots of memories of our German travels. Plus the odd item from other countries, like Stroopwaffels! Looking forward to returning and picking up some food next time. 🇩🇪🥨🍻

Exec summary: great German food in a Disneyland like setting The Navi sent me all over the place. Drove past it and finally just street parked and walked. The back (front?) is a market and I was confused but followed the noise to the restaurant. And I'm glad I did. I LOVE this place You sit at big benches , service is super prompt and friendly The beer list is extensive. (Orval on TAP!!!) The food is outstanding. I feel like I'm back in Germany Of course, they have classic metal playing (how German) You must come here !!!

Always a good time at Gourmet Haus Staudt. There's much to love about this place from the super friendly and helpful staff, the selection of beers both German and domestic, the food, and the store. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. On Thursdays, they have a pork knuckle schweinshaxe dish that is one of the few places that serves it the way I had it in Germany with the potato dumplings. It's not as good as what I had in Germany but it's one of the best ones I've had in California. It's meaty and not dry with a little bit of crackling. The rest of the food I've had in general has been good, but not amazing. The one disappointment was the kasespatzle which was a watery cheese linguini rather than the egg based noodles I've had elsewhere. That being said, I come here more for the beers, ambiance, and nice people and the food is to make sure I don't get too drunk.

Was craving German food after a long hike, stopped here late in the day on a Sunday. Everything is kinda sticky inside, gives dive bar vibes. We shared the Full Haus sampler platter which comes with all of their sausages, two pretzel sticks, schnitzel, spatzle, and pickled veggies. The sausages and pickles are pretty good, but the schnitzel was very thin, dry, and lacked any flavor. The platter was a good size for two people (with leftovers) but it was just okay overall. Bathrooms were pretty nasty as well!

The restaurant is behind the German store - you'd easily miss it! Food here was good. The service was friendly and it was an overall easy going experience on a Saturday afternoon in their back patio

The ambiance and the staff were amazing Karen and Fernanda out did them selves. Super professional, friendly and highly efficient. Please give them a shout out from the big group we had for my Aunts memorial. The food was also terrific. The beer the best!Thank you for the impeccable service and kindness.

Hidden Gem Alert: Gourmet Haus Burgers Worth the Hunt! With summer right around the corner, the search for the best burger is on--and if you're lucky, you might just catch the elusive Gourmet Haus Burger. While not a regular menu item, when they do make an appearance, they're absolutely worth the bite. Perfectly juicy, stacked with fresh toppings, and served on a toasted bun that holds up to every delicious bite, these burgers are a rare treat. Pair one with a cold beer and enjoy the laid-back, welcoming vibe that makes this spot a local favorite. If you see the Gourmet Haus Burger on the menu, don't hesitate--order it before it's gone. You won't regret it!

We love this bar! They have great outdoor seating, great beer, yummy sausages and salads, and a cool grocery store attached. The food seems pretty authentic and the staff are very helpful. Though I haven't tried it yet, I heard their dessert and brunch menus are great too (Thursday cheesecake is a hit). If you're looking for a family friendly beer garden, this is it.

Great bockwurst! Tasty potato salad and authentic sauerkraut. Fun German vibe/decor. Very friendly staff! Reasonable prices. Some German music playing softly in the background would have been nice.

It has been probably 15-20 years since I last came here and I have forgotten how much I enjoy this place! My friend and I had a lovely time here for a weekday lunch earlier this week. Unlike the rowdy beer hall experience, the vibe here on a weekday lunch was chill. Service was comfortable, quick, and friendly. The food and beer is good as always! I ordered the two sausage plate; you choose from the list of available sausages, and I got the Bockwurst and the Käsekrainer. The plate also comes with the traditional potatoes salad. Both sausages were yum; bonus that they sold them in the market in the front too, and I picked up some frozen Bockwurst to bring home. The potatoes salad was delish too - especially given the bacon bits.

Came here a few weeks ago with some family for a small birthday celebration. Had some really great German beers, Weinstephaner 1512 Keller bier was my standout. We shared a German sampler with schnitzel and sausages. The food was pretty good, the drinks were awesome and the service was amazing, very friendly and willing to help you choose some of their favorites. There is also a store attached to the bier garden. The restaurant was clean and tidy and I will return for more German beers and treats. Highly recommended.

I used to stop in here a lot when I was in Redwood City everyday. It was a chill hangout after we would get out of school and it accommodates large groups and loud gatherings. The vibe is super chill and the service was great. Today I did just stop in to eat, we were going to stop at a German restaurant in the city but our next destination was in Redwood City so I suggested the gourmet haus. I'm used to the schnitzels being as large as the plate and this was very small but still good. Love the vinaigrette on the salad and got the käsesspätzle and wished when we said not the veggie one they didn't exclude the onions. It was a bit plain. Next time bacon and the crispy onions might spruce it up a bit. The jäger schnitzel sando was sooo good and the mushroom sauce tasty! I enjoyed the homemade chunky applesauce with my potato pancakes. I highly recommend stopping in here for a good, tasty and affordable meal. We hit the market in the front on the way out and all the Christmas stuff is there which was exciting.

Had a great time when I went with my friends. Super friendly staff, great sausages and beer, and everything for a pretty good price too. This was a much more down to earth setting than Wursthall, but the curry sauce wasn't as nice what Wursthall had. All in all would definitely come again.

Love the schnitzel, the beers, the service and the ambiance. Great place for great times.

This is one of the hidden gems in Redwood City. Imagine walking into a grocery store which extends up to a brewery with an amazing seating lots of food. I love German beers and especially breweries. This place had a wipe. It's very cozy seating lots of local people had amazing suggestions. Their food was amazing. It was not very pricey. If you're thinking about getting some nice Pilsner jefe lager hazy IPA go there. Super good a lot of sauce options which goes for your bratwurst and I am telling you that you guys are going to go back again and I have to recommend you guys to try buying stuff from there too because it's very European and they have amazing brats that you can grill or cook it in your house

At the top of hotel darling, great food and fantastic views (you can see the mountains, for example). Two short blocks from main street. Service was also good.

For the second year in a row, Vegetarian DJ chose to go to a German restaurant for his birthday on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, to eat bratwurst and drink a couple of pints of beer. This year, we went to Gourmet Haus Staudt in Redwood City. Located in downtown, we easily found the restaurant, but were surprised that no customer parking was allowed for patrons as the lot is reserved strictly for the neighouring business office. No worries, though - we immediately found street parking across the street. We arrived at around 8 PM. Self-seating either in the two front patios, the bar inside, or the indoors dining room. We opted for a table inside at the front corner. The decor inside the venue definitely reminded me Germany. The menu is quite limited, focusing on various Bratwurst offerings and Schnitzel-based dishes. This is definitely not a place for strict vegetarians and vegans to grab a full meal. Very little to almost no vegetables served here, unfortunately. In addition to DJ's two pints of beer and V's Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Juice, below are the food items that we ordered: Bavarian Pretzel With Salami and Cheese, $14 - V found the Cheese to be "strong," but he liked it. The Pretzel was soft and warm. Bavarian Pretzel With Obatzda (Camembert Dip), $14 - The Camembert Dip looked scarily spicy, thick, and rich to me. To my pleasant surprise, it was lighter in taste and texture than I expected. FLAMMKUCHEN (FLATBREAD), $13 - Customized to replace the AVOCADO SLICES with extra BACON. Perhaps the original amount of bacon is skimpy because with the supposed extra amount, the tomatoes of the SALSA FRESCA still seemed to outnumber the bacon pieces. Otherwise, V enjoyed this pizza-like dish. Brat in a Bun (Smoked), $11 - Good, but I have had a much more tasty Bratwurst elsewhere, so was kind of wanting a bit more flavour. The amount of Sauerkraut could have been more generous, too. Brat in a Bun (Bockwurst), $11 - DJ fully enjoyed this. I found the Bockwurst more bland than the Smoked. Side of Potato Salad, $5 - For the price, the serving is tiny. DJ still liked it, but found the spicy pickles a bit odd. Pommes Frites (Fries), Large, $8 - Served golden, fresh and hot, but could have been crispier. VANILLA GELATO - These were pre-scooped into disposable cups that you could take to go. No complaints from the kids, but Z notice that although the ice cream was at the rim of the cups, there was empty space at the bottom. Heads up - Other than the few ice cream desserts offered in the GHS Specials, no other sweets are offered unless it's Thursday when they have a few cakes or baked goods. Oh, and water is self-serve. No likey. Service was quick and friendly. We were bummed that the store was closed during our visit. DJ enjoyed his birthday dinner here. He will likely to return for some boots of beer.

Excellent beer It's a small German grocery and German restaurant in the back. Food was Okay. Nothing special. Service was good. May go back only for their grapefruit beer.

Really enjoyed this place. Had some great draft Belgian and German beers and ciders that we hadn't had before so that was a pleasure. I think their brats were just ok; nothing to write home about. Curry platter with them was decent as the curry was good. Enjoyed the pretzel with everything on it; cheese spread isn't traditional but still nice. Potato pancakes were honestly the best of the food items. Hadn't tried them with apple sauces but highly recommend. Overall decent food but great beer. Service was also excellent; our main server was very attentive but we still got lots of service from other servers. Would go again for a beer and snack

We come from East Bay for the yummy pretzels and beer. That have a great selection of beer and Germany foods.

Love this place! I practiced yoga a few doors down for over a decade before I ever tasted a beer here. Before that beer I enjoyed last December at the chill bar scene, I would visit and purchase German gifts (they've got better Haribo selection than Walgreens down the street... or any grocery store, for that matter!). I sure do miss the beer selection and the staff - always friendly & sweet! Within walking distance to Caltrain, so no need to drive tipsy, if you indulge in a beer or two. Also, the selection of advent calendars is second to none. Support local

Two visits about a decade apart; I am a regular! I have nothing bad to say-service is good and prompt, food fresh and hot...had an outstanding draft German Pilsner last weekend. It had been a very long time since I had a draft German beer. Lesson for me? Take a break from the strong CA IPAs once in awhile. :)

This german bar is amazing the vibe is pretty chill and the workers are very nice and attentive. I've been coming here since 2014 and have never had a bad experience. Their food is also pretty authentic its amust try!!! Good place to have a nice liter beer and a nice giant pretzel. Additionally you also can do some quick german shopping at their nice shop.

My partner and I have been coming here for the past few years since we moved in the area. Overall, the service has been the most consistent out of all the restaurants and bars we have visited. The sense of family and the familiarity the staff builds with the reoccurring customers is unlike any other. The food and beer are rotating so it's fun to try the new menu items however, my partner and I like to return to the weihenstephen vitus beer at the end of a beer try. As far as the atmosphere, inside and out is perfect. Whether it's a cold day to sit inside or a sunny day to lounge in the patio, both aesthetics are great. This place is genuinely a slice of Germany and more. Thank you for the great times and simple pleasures!

I've been visiting Haus Staudt on and off since I moved to the Bay Area 9 years ago and it never disappoints. My fiancé now tends to go more often as it's on his way home from work, but we had a chance to stop for an after work drink and snack. Their pretzels are great (although I knock a lot of the salt off) and I can usually find something I like on the beer menu. We also love the ambiance and I like to sit out on the patio when the weather is nice. Service is always great, even when their busy, and we like to stop in the store on our way home for unique grocery items (or chocolate and beer).

Huge portions of food. Definitely reccomend coming hungry or sharing. The pretzel with cheese and meat was very soft and tasty.

Caught lunch with a friend here and they have outdoor seating so she can bring her dog. They have a storefront of their products and a cute homey restaurant attached to it. The server was very friendly and the staff brought water for my friend's dog. They made great food recommendations and the food came out very quick. Really lovely community and teamwork at this establishment, keep up the good work!

Hadn't eaten all day and need a beer to wind down my weekend. So glad we got to check this place out. Sunday closes at 7pm, kitchen closes around 6:30pm, the store closes around 6pm. Didnt realize the store closed so super sad I didnt get to check it out, but just a good excuse to come back! Go a half liter to share and the full haus also to share. Perfect amount of food and beer for 2. Plus we got to try a little bit of everything. Really enjoyed all the sausages,veggies, pretzels, etc. Can't wait til our next visit!

Excellent food and ambience We had a really good time here, but the one person in our Group who wears hearing aids was unable to participate in the conversation because the place is so loud. The outside area was booked for an event so it was not an option for us

Came to hang out with friends and stayed much longer because of the beers and the good food. Unfortunately, I forgot to take more pictures due to distractions from fiends. This is definitely a great place if you are looking for a casual, fun vibes, and reasonable priced good food. Choose indoor and outdoor seatings.

The pretzels are big and fluffy and perfect with mustard or with cheese. The ambient is dimly lit and community style. There is a lovely beer bar with white patrons. The service is always great. My friend Ana's family love coming here. I recommend taking home a few brews and treats from their store in the back! Try the Marlén beer. It's the best well rounded golden ale they have. ‍

My first time at this amazing gasthaus in Redwood City. We walked in just a few minutes after they opened at noon. The place was already hopping and filling up fast as we sat down. We had the schnitzel and pomme frites. It came with a side salad that had a mustard vinaigrette. It was all quite good. We washed our lunch down with a Paulaner Oktoberfest marzen bier. I describe this as a gasthaus rather than a regular restaurant because of it's feel and ambiance. Communal tables, lots of German bier on tap. Walls filled with various bier brands and other tchotchkes really push this place over the top. The bartender/food order taker was knowledgeable about the history of Gourmet Haus Staudt, which started in 1974 as a flower shop that evolved into a souvenir stand, then store, bar, eventually a full on restaurant. Still owned by the children of the founders. The bartender said the mom, in her 90's!, makes desserts and brings them in once a week. He said they were great. The store in the front is small but you can get lost between the many beverages, candies, toys, and souvenirs. Lots of great unique items to pick up as gifts for friends and family or for yourself to enjoy. The man tending the store was also knowledgeable about the wines, meads (several different types from several countries), and the candy. We live about an hour away but hopefully will be back and bring some of our friends for some food and fun. I highly recommend it.

Very good food, fun atmosphere, with a store, and a beer garden. My kid and I stopped in for an afternoon snack and had a pretzel and French fries.

This is a tough call on the rating. On the one hand, the service is excellent and the ambiance is wonderful - very chill and fun. Definitely a great place to hang with a group on a weekend afternoon or evening. The beer and drink selection is wonderful and I, who is not a big beer drinker, was easily able to find a delicious choice. The killer here is the food. I was with a larger group so we ordered quite a few items and all of them were bland and not well cooked. The pretzels were tough and came with a very odd sauce that was not the mustard I was expecting. The sausages and flatbread were a letdown too. Very little flavor and too much bread/not enough toppings on either. The wings were the only ok dish. Would love this place if the food improved, but I'd have to have quittteee a few beers to eat this food again!

Great food and beer choices. The staff are always super friendly and welcoming and the food choices are excellent. Inside and outside seating you always have a choice depending on your mood and the weather . They have killer pretzels.

Gourmet Haus Staudt has a good variety of imported candies, meats, alcohol, and souvenirs. They even have a restaurant inside. Also, the employees are friendly and helpful.

Great place to watch a soccer match with amazing beers on tap. Nice store in front which carries many local craft beers..

Awesome brews and ciders. Loved the curry and noodle dish. Fries were yummy. Pickle plate super tasty! You have to get the apricot cake warmed up for dessert. A perfect sweet treat the top off a great meal.

A fun place to hang out and have a hearty dinner and a glass of beer. The restaurant is rustic and reminds me of a traditional German restaurant. One from the olden days... The store has a great selection of beverages, sweets and other food and you get all your "essentials" on goodies for the holidays. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. I come here regularly for the past 22+ years that I am living in the area. I give 4 stars instead 5 because I find the store prices a bit on the higher end which sometimes feels overpriced if you compare them to the prices in Germany. But when I go there, it's a treat and I always enjoy being able to buy and eat German food. I hope this store/restaurant is able to keep their doors open even though there is another German restaurant now in RWC. But I personally think that the food at Staudt is by fare more authentic and better quality than in the other one. And I can say this as a German myself.

Great ambiance to catch up with friends over delicious beers and schnitzel! Service was friendly and fast. Be sure to check out the market to grab German goodies and chocolate to take home.

Food is mid. I ordered curry sausage which was pretty spicy. Beers are phenomenal. I always get a cold Helles or Radler. Never disappoints on a hot day.

Came here for a group event on a Thursday evening and it was not too busy. Karen was our waitress and was extremely friendly and catered to our table well. I shared 2 dishes with a friend. The bratwursts were pleasant, I really enjoyed the pretzel that came on the plate. The schnitzel was really good and my favorite part of both plates. Would come back again for comforting food and a nice beer! There is paid (metered) parking located all around the restaurant. Thanks for the great service Karen!

Firstly I have to point out that the market is just AMAZING! I could get lost in that place. The beer selection is so overwhelmingly fantastic! And I love all the unique and fun foods that you can find here! For the restaurant, the staff was so nice and the service was amazing! The woman who took my order was so nice and let me try a couple of beers so I could pick something from the market for my to-go order. I got the pork schnitzel, Spoetzl (extra) and potato salad. It also came with a side salad which actually had a very good dressing! I also got the pickle plate instead of just the pickles. I have to say that the other veggies on the pickle plate were pretty disappointing. The flavor really wasn't there and the textures were either way too soft or way too hard. However, the pickles themselves were delicious so I'd definitely recommend getting just the pickles. The potato salad was good, but the Spoetzl was absolutely the best part!!! So flavorful and yummy! The breading on the schnitzel was awesome but the pork itself was a little dry. But it was amazing with everything combined together! I'm excited to go back to try the other dishes and also pick up some more fun foods and drinks from the market!

Man, the beer selection of good German and local beers are not to be missed. They seem to get in new and fresh beers regularly. The buyers actually know what they are talking about. The food was good, service was efficient and pleasant. Looking forward to trying it again despite the distance.

This restaurant/store is tucked away in Redwood City and seating is first come first serve basis. They have a pretty extensive beer menu mostly lagers, and German style beers with a few IPAs. They serve in a few different sizes up to a liter! They also have a food menu and the kitchen closes at 9! I really like their house salad, fries and pork schnitzel. Everything on the menu is fairly German with an emphasis on things like sausage. Overall it's a very chill laid back vibes! You can order beer from the bar and food from your table. Service is prompt! And folks here are friendly. Would come back in a heart beat!

great spot to stop in for a nice hearty meal. friendly staff and cool interior, definitely recommend

My friends and I LOVE GHS. It's so much fun for a group. There are so many great beer options. The people who work there are all super friendly and personable. They always have food recommendation. Oktoberfest is such a fun event at Gourmet Haus.

This is a nice spot, finally had lunch here. The sausages are really good, sauerkraut was ok but obatzda and pretzel were really good. We also shared the flammkuchen which was a daily special and yummy! You can just walk in and seat yourself at any table as long as there is space available which is nice. I will definitely come back here.

Came here over the weekend , such a hidden gem , The service is incredible , super attentive , The shop is so authentic , the restaurant was delicious , highly recommend the schnitzel and the beer selection is top tier !

I am so excited to write this review that I don't even know how to start. As someone from German decent, I need to exclaim that this place is AWESOME!!! First, there's the ambiance. It's a beir hall with a nice little bar section. Sit at the bar or sit a the tables. Also, you enter the "front" through a little store that sells authentic German wares, from beer and liquor to foods, including saurkraut and REAL Harbro! German Harbro gummies are different!!! Pear brandy and all the other mainstays that I'll be heading back for that you CANNOT find at BevMo. Trust me. Second, the food. First, pretzels: OMG. As a fat man, German-American, and former Pennsylvanian: These are in competition for some of the best pretzels I might have ever had. Seriously great. Then the sausages were on point. Third, the staff. I am actually a very shy person. They made me feel very welcome and they were very approachable. I cant say enough nice things about them.
