Hermann Wurst Haus

BEST dinner we had after a week in Hermann! We did do takeout and ate in our glamper; when I placed our order, the lady who took my order said, "That'll be ready in 6 minutes." I love the commitment! We had the German platter with the Best of Show brat and the Gorgonzola and Pear brat with potato salad. Excellent! Can't wait to go back on our next trip to Hermann.

Three of us went to eat and it cost about $50. Everything we got was delicious. Expect to spend around $15 a person if you get a main dish and a side

Absolutely phenomenal lunch as my wife and I were heading to KC on the back roads to try something fun. This menu item brought me right back to my childhood from my Grandma and Grandpa. The potato salad was spot on as Grandma made it along with the sauerkraut and sausages. Great recommendations from the staff along the choice of beer. We will be back.

*Edit* I added a photo, these were purchased in store on Saturday April 26th. Thought it may be big peppercorns at first? But I hadn't noticed that in these with past experiences. Why does my German bratwurst look like it has blueberries in it? I don't remember the German brats having purple spots in them ever.

The atmosphere was right on que for a German restaurant. Service was buffet style for all you can eat breakfast on Saturday. The staff was professional, friendly, and working with a sense of urgency. Bacon was top-notch, but the rest of the breakfast was just average. We will definitely give it a second try at a meal they are known to do well. The prep for lunch; sausages, red cabbage, potato salad, etc. Looked much better than the breakfast items. See you next visit to Hermann!

went home with a lot of meats! they sample everything on the spot which makes it so much easier to make a selection! tons of awards on display. didn’t get the chance to eat here but when we come back to hermann it’s on our list!

What a gem! As soon as you walk in, the smoked meat aroma will make you hungry and you’re in the right place! The braunschweiger sandwich with German potato salad was a 10/10. We also tried a bratwurst on a pretzel bun with deviled egg potato salad, which was also a 10/10. The staff is extremely friendly and they have a shop filled with seasonings, sauces, meats and more. Although we aren’t into soda, they have an impressive selection of unique (non major brand) drinks. Herman is only 15 mins off of Highway 70 and the town is incredibly charming.

We tried the all you can eat weekend breakfast. The biscuits and gravy were pretty good. Eggs and sausage were ok. The bacon however was not OK. It tasted bad. I asked about the flavor and they said it was Hickory smoked! I do plenty of Hickory smoking and that didn't account for the taste. None of us went back for seconds.

Fantastic, award-winning wurst! Fast service from nice staff. Try the other offerings in the store and take some home with you!

We were in Herman to vist the Deutschheim State Historic Site and went to the Herman Wurst Haus for lunch. This was a weekday during late August and the restaurant was not crowded. I'm told that during the peak season, the line can be "out the door". This is a place where you order at the counter and they deliver your food to your table. My wife and I both had bratwurst sandwiches - two different varities of bratwurst and our sandwiches were very good. They had German potato salad listed as a side dish for $5.99 which seemed high for a side but they said it was a big enough portion that my wife and I could split. I was disappointed in the portion size and feel that the $5.99 price tag was a bit steep considering the portion size. Being an "order at the counter" place, there wasn't much service. You paid for your beverages when you ordered and they were self-serve from the cooler. Overall - the bratwurst was very good; the German potato salad was excellent (even if a bit pricey) and the overall experience was very delightful.

Replace the "u" in Wurst with an "o" -- and honestly, that says it all. I absolutely adore Hermann, MO. It's a sweet little town with all the cozy charm you could want. My husband and I have been stopping here for over 20 years during our military moves across the country. (Side note: He's from Kirksville, so Hermann is basically our unofficial pit stop.) Also, shoutout to Adam Puchta wine -- love that stuff! But I digress... onto the food. So, I ordered two sausage platters, all served on Styrofoam plates with plastic silverware. And guess what? That gourmet experience set me back a cool $93.00. Can we talk about sticker shock for a minute? Now, let's get to the "meat" of the matter: Portions sadly small. The sides were basically a large tablespoon. German potato salad: Surprisingly decent. Potatoes were firm (not mushy), with a nice flavor and a hint of sweetness. I'll give credit where it's due. Red cabbage: Bland. Like, "did someone forget to invite flavor to the party?" bland. The sausage: Also bland and oddly firm -- like it was training for a marathon or something. Sauerkaut: - wait for it... came with yellow peppers. Yellow peppers?! Who thought that was a good idea? Maybe to bulk up the portion? Definitely didn't add anything tasty -- just weird vibes. But the absolute worst part? The ordering process itself. A complete circus that made me question every single life choice I've ever made. Here's how it went down: We ordered drinks--explained clearly to the cashier what we wanted. Bloody Mary for one, and a Riefenstahler by Adam Puchta for the other. The order then magically gets sent to the bar in the back. So my girlfriend, thinking all was well, goes to the bar to grab her drink. The bartender asks, "Sweet or dry?" She says "sweet," assuming he already knows what she ordered. Spoiler alert: He did not. Instead of the Riefenstahler, he hands her a white wine that's definitely not it. When he approaches our table later, I politely inform him, "That's not Riefenstahler." Cue the most ridiculous look you've ever seen -- like he just solved a Rubik's cube for the first time. He argues, "She said sweet." I remind him, "I told the cashier she wanted Riefenstahler." He doubles down, "She said sweet." I say, "Yes, and Riefenstahler is sweet -- it's been sweet for 20 years. Know your product. Don't argue with customers." Honestly, it was like 2/3 of a cup of wine -- no biggie to fix. But instead, we got attitude and stubbornness over a glass of wine. So yeah, if you're craving anything close to good sausage, look elsewhere. Or at least prepare yourself for a sausage that's more "wors" than wurst -- and an ordering process that's a whole different kind of disaster. Did I mention I paid $93.00 for this experience.

Went to Hermann Wurst Haus for a late dinner and tried their pulled pork as well as their Braunschweiger sandwiches. Holy cow they were fantastic! We also ordered sides with the sandwiches, they had German potato salad as well as baked beans, Cole slaw and an assortment of other sides to choose from. We also ordered the carrot cake for dessert, that was wonderful, so good....check them out, they also have sausages you can grab and go!!

Decided to eat at the Wurst Haus as our timing found other businesses not open. We got the best of show brat and the jalapeno bacon that were to be on a pretzel bun. The bun wasn't pretzel. The jalapeno bacon had good flavor, not a standout. The best of show arrived cold and had to be heated. The best thing was the side cucumber salad. It was so good. Liked the shopping section it overall the vibe is cooler, less friendly.

I enjoyed a hot turkey with swiss on a pretzel bun with mustard and a side of red cabbage. People were around, but not too busy on a weekday. Food was ready quickly with friendly staff. Street parking was available. Interior is very cool with a lot of brick and wood styling. It is a combination of a sandwich shop and deli store with various and sundry food items.

Portions are huge and I love that you can take home items from their menu in their store.

Aside from Bavaria, arguably some of the best German sausages you will find... We've been coming to Hermann Oktoberfest for years and always stop by the THWH. If you've ever been to Schmidt's Sausage Haus in Columbus (which has been featured on the Food Network and is widely considered one of the best German restaurants in the Midwest), then you will love THWH. We're Schmidt's regulars, but honestly, THWH sausages are better... We buy all their brats, etc. online and they're nothing short of outstanding - THWH is a complete gem and must try when in Hermann.

We were in town for a few days and needed somewhere for breakfast. Looked online and saw they had an all you can eat buffet 16.99. We were both very disappointed. The biscuits were rock hard the sausage and gravy were spicy and very salty. The scrambled eggs were dry and just blah. The bacon was very good but got salted the more we ate it. The sausage was honestly very good. Plus the donut holes and the quesadillas bites. Overall don't waste your money. Service ---walking in the lady greeted us told us what we needed to know but kept talking to her coworker. The Lady that served us the buffet was super nice and I give her kiddos she was the best of the experience. The ambiance - was a nice open bar with plenty of seating.

Food was amazing, restaurant was clean, and the staff is incredibly nice. We will be returning!

Stopped in with a group of friends to stock up on some sausage and bacon from the award winning sausage masters. Love this place, great service, awesome selection of everything smoked.

worst food i have ever tasted. brisket sandwich tasted like it was bathed in salt and took two bites and i was done.

Went there for all you can eat weekend breakfast. Not much offered and served to you on a styrofoam plate. Potato cheese dish, watery scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon, not well cooked or over cooked, biscuits and gravy. Coffee included. Not much for service and buffets scattered around retail. A lot of retail.

Love the wurst house! A must stop while in Hermann. We placed our order - we shared a platter with two brats and two sides. We got the potato salad and red cabbage. Everything was great and it was served up super quickly. We also grabbed some brats for home!

Now this place knows how to do German food! The menu is a classic German take on great dishes. The menu has something for everyone, but I highly recommend trying a German dish. They have the classic German menu and then they also have some dishes with a modern twist! This is a deli style restaurant so you have to order your food at the counter, then go and eat at a table. They had tables inside and outside. We ordered the Chicken Snitzel and the Pear and Gorgonzola Bratwurst. Both were extremely tasty! The other great part of this place is the market they have on the inside. They have local goods as well as imported items and man, the amount of sauces they had will have you in there shopping for a while. Everything was amazing and the food was unreal!

Purchased a brat for lunch. A not-fresh pretzel bun overwhelms an already on-the-small side brat. While the taste of the brat was as good as always (not my first time), $9.99 for brat and $4.99 for a scoop of potato salad was too much for what you get.

The people are always in a good mood. Smells are amazing. I mean who doesn't love bacon. Speaking of bacon. It's amazing and so is the several flavors of brats they have. We love this place and go by every time we are in Hermann.

Very cool atmosphere in the restaurant and store, open with high ceilings. We ordered the bests of the wurst for lunch. It came with mustard and kraut on a pretzel roll. We also tried the deviled egg potato salad. Both were fantastic. Immediately greeted by friendly staff who asked "shopping or dining in". They walked us through the process of ordering too. Wait staff delivered to the table.

It is the "wurst" house for breakfast, McDonald's would have been better. Most certainly not worth the price we paid, $16 each for "all you can eat", trust me, one plate was more then enough because you didn't want to back for more. If you like a lot of salt, we do mean aaaa looottt, you may like it. If you like your bacon burnt and the sausage ice cold, you will love it. If you like undistinguishable eggs and cheesy, maybe looking potatos, couldn't tell, then this is the place for you. We all, there was 5 of us, said it was the "wurst" breakfast we've had ever, couldn't eat hardly anything all day aa it just stayed with us. Go to McDonald's, save some mone and get a better breakfast.

Didn't even get pictures. Hubby had bbq brisket sandwich w/red cabbage I had the best of show brat w/gouda pasta. Both were excellent.

I understand we are in covid times. I understand everywhere is short staffed. Entering this - there's a sign on the door saying they're understaffed and please be kind. There is no sign saying no outside beverages. However - it's a self serve place. You order at the counter...there's no soda fountain so you get bottle items. I drink water. I had bottled water in the car and I don't want to pay $2 per bottle of water when I have it available. We ordered. I ran out to the car to get my bottle of water for two people. Food was fantastic. It was hot. It was fresh. It was just what I had my mouth watering for with my...luke warm car bottled water. Food was delivered and we were snapped at that "we sell beverages here and to buy from them." Customers came in after us with bottled water and were not snapped at.....It's hot out. Idk what the big deal is when it's a tiny walking town.....and..you're bound to have water. Whatever. I got the brisket sandwich with chips and a pickle. Super delicious, moist, brisket with a yummy bbq sauce on it. Hubs ordered a hot club sandwich with chips and a pickle and lettuce and tomato and onion on the side. Food was delivered in 6ish minutes. It was very very good. Service. Not so much. Will highly recommend food wise. Items available for purchase.

Located in a small town of Hermann, Mo., this is a great place to stop and visit. Parking is along the street. They have award winning bratwurst, German sausages, house smoked bacon and other meats. Try different wines and beers with your meal. If you want anything to take back home be sure to bring a cooler along, you can buy different type of package meats to take home. They also have 24/7 vending machine outside the restaurant. For our dining pleasure, we ordered the Caramelized Pear and Gorgonzola Bratwurst, which was fantastic. It has a great taste. Coleslaw has the right hint of vinegar and sweetness. German Brat was okay. To me nothing too distinctive about it. Egg potatoes salad was good. Something different than German Potato Salad. Service was great. We were greeted at the door upon entrance. Order at the counter. Food was brought out to the table. Lots of gift-able items to purchase and take take home. I am giving them a 4-stars for one mishap. Our order did not come out on pretzel buns like it said in the menu. Otherwise, great place to visit when in Hermann, MO.

Not a place for breakfast. $16 for a "all you can eat breakfast" with very limited options. Biscuits & gravy, the biscuits were doughy and falling apart. Scrambled eggs? Not sure if you could even call them eggs, they were gray looking. The bacon could have been cooked better, I love their bacon and buy it at our local grocer, it crisps up so nice, but not here. I could have made the bacon better than what they offered today. They had a pastry like donut, turned out it was cinnamon fried cream cheese- yeah not a pastry in my experience. I wish I would have read the reviews on the breakfast. I believe this a better option for lunch, not breakfast.

Essentially, the whole Hermann "experience" is a tourist trap. A couple of things to see. Best German food in town was ... "tasteless". Save your money and time.

Had a breakfast buffet and considering it was a buffet style serving, it was actually pretty good and tasty. The hickory smoked bacon was very good as were the breakfast potato casserole and the sausage gravy. 4 stars on the buffet. I also took the sausage making class this past spring. Very fun and informative. Recommend this! 5 stars on this class. 4.5 star overall.

Food is awesome. Homemade mustard is the best . And the root beer is great! Beer selection is great.

A friend brought back some german meat sticks to Ohio called Landjäger. It is a semidried sausage traditionally made in Southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Alsace. It is popular as a snack food during activities such as hiking. It also has a history with hunters as it keeps without refrigeration and comes in single-meal portions. Technically it should be pressed and rectangular.... BUT it is incredible as it is and if you are looking for a super high quality meat stick this is it. It will last a long time too. Amazing product that tastes great and has a little heat to it. By all means get some. It may seem expensive but you have to realize the quality and time it takes to make this so great.

We were taking the road less traveled this weekend, and ended up in Herman, MO, near lunch time. The downtown area has changed wwuite a bit since my last visit. Using Yelp, we chose a place only to find it closed. Looping around the block the hickory smoke led us here. This was the better choice! I had the award winning brat and my wife had a turkey sandwich. Now I'm going to be looking for excuses to go back to Herman. They have a large meat market and gift store here along with the dining room. This is the place I wish we had found whe we visited Germany a couple of months ago. I imagine tHis place would be packed during October fest. The serve locally produced spirits here and the Pinckney Bend gin is one of my favorites. They have gin and tonics on tap here!! We will be back and bringing our friends with us next time.

It's a great deal for breakfast, but it just wasn't good... The place is sooooo smokey inside. Normally this might be endearing, but not first thing in the morning. They had pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage and some potatoes, but the flavors were just missing. We all had to add our own spices. Despite the food being mediocre, we had a nice morning and the weather was great on the patio. Unfortunately, none of us felt super great after eating the food, leading us to believe that our stomachs were upset by it. I have a feeling that this place ROCKS if you're looking for super specific meats and sauces, but I don't recommend for breakfast!

We ate at the Wurst Haus twice on our trip to Hermann. The first meal was fantastic! I love Ruben sandwiches, the one at the Wurst Haus was by far the most tender and best tasting I have eaten. The picture I attached was after one bite. After that bite I knew I had to take a picture and write a review! The second meal was their breakfast buffet On the morning we were leaving. This place is a butcher shop and the bacon and sausage was unbelievable! We will go here again the next trip to Hermann.

Delicious stop! Lots of seating and a little shopping too. The German chocolate cake was lowkey a waste of $7 though

Came in for their "famous" buffet breakfast. I paid $16 for the same thing I could have gotten at the Drury Hotel's free breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausage, and biscuits and gravy. Everything was delicious but they had also advertised German French toast, cheesy hash browns, and dessert, none of which were to be found. Food was served from a cart onto styrofoam plates. It was overpriced.

This place had great food. Only one German base sausage. But there is a sign out front warning you if you do not like the service, keep it to us yourself or apply for a job. Once entering, I found out why I have been all over the United States, and have never met a person with such hatred and distain and unpleasantness towards any question or inquiry for what you want for heavens, do not ask to taste anything because you will be barked upon stating that they haven't done that since before Covid. Great food crappy service.

Enjoying a beautiful day in Hermann. Just stopped in to Hermann Wurst Haus. This is our second visit. Food is delicious. I had the brisket sandwich. Hubby had the pulled pork. Yum yum! Employees are courteous, helpful and friendly.

Service is great. Stuffs are very friendly. Food is decent. They have a lot different options that u can take home. Sausages, bacon, bbq sauce, and beverages.

Fun place for shopping and for weekend, cheap all-you-can-eat brunch but very very basic. Styrofoam plates and plastic cutlery. Foods limited to scrambled eggs bacon, sausage, potatoes. One drink each- I got coffee. Can do some shopping too while you're there! It's a fun place but not much to talk about regarding the food. Ample seating.

Our house host recommended this place as a great option for breakfast and lunch. We decided to try Wurst Haus for both lunch and breakfast. I'm not a huge bratwursts fan, but I wanted to give this place a try since it had a long history in Hermann. I ordered the caramelized pear brats and German potato salad. Both were okay but the potato salad had a strong acidic taste to it. It almost tasted like someone poured the entire botle of vinegar in the dish. The have an all you can eat breakfast on the weekends. We tried the breakfast and it was the standard breakfast you would get at a hotel. Nothing spectacular with the buffet. Unfortunately, the food options were limited.

We stopped by here for a quick lunch and were definitely not disappointed! The sandwiches and sides are delicious & freshly prepared. We can't wait to try the vending machine!

It's as good as everyone says. This is a new must stop when we are in town. We visited on a slow Monday afternoon and probably received extra special service.

Horrible brunch food quality and value! Call the food was cold, because the warmers had become unplugged, and the two assistants at the food did not recognize it. My wife had to mention it to them before they figured it out. The food is served on paper plates with plastic utensils. For a $50 brunch, you would at least expect a plate and warm food. All of the condiments were in small packaging. The assistants served the food as a Buffet style, and the options were extremely limited. The bacon was overly salty and very hard, hard enough that a splinter of the bacon got stuck between my teeth and under the gum line.

This was our initial stop during our first visit to Hermann. We had read about how this was a good place to stock up on various bratwursts, sausages, and more. It was packed when we visited with both store and deli customers. When you enter, you are given a paper menu to look at while you wait to order food, which is located on the right side. There was also another employee on the left side who checked people out for general merchandise. We ended up stocking up on brats and breakfast sausages to place in our cooler. Our favorite brat so far has been the caramelized pear and gorgonzola. We can't wait to try the blueberry maple breakfast sausage. They also had local honey, wine, craft sodas, snack sticks, cider, jams, jellies, and much more. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely return on subsequent visits to Hermann.

The Wurst Haus is the worst. Over the years we have given this place multiple chances to win us over. Every single time we have visited we have had a bad experience. I will admit the food I've had there has been good. However service is atrocious. Today we went there to eat 40 minutes prior to closing. All of the hot food was already put away. They would not serve anything but cold items because they had already cleaned for closing. This was Valentines weekend so their were plenty of potential customers in town. I just want to reiterate every time we have been there it's been a bad experience service wise. Not the workers but the owners. The Wurstmiester and Misses Wurstmiester appear to think they are town celebritys. They are arrogant and don't believe in customer service. The only reason they are likely still in business is the atmosphere and lack of restaurants in town.

Food is good but the price gouging is unreal. A pretzel was $15. Brats on a bun is $9 without a side. We used to go visit and spent $100 but we will pass this time. I got a brat and a bun and one sausage to go instead so we spent 1/4 what we normally do.

I ordered the German platter with two bratwursts, red cabbage, and potato salad. The red cabbage was the most phenomenal thing I've eaten in a long time. It is much better than any red cabbage I've eaten elsewhere. The other two people ordered a brisket sandwich with chips. They both said it was the best sandwich they had ever eaten.

This place smells so good it makes your mouth water. It's basically a huge deli with a variety of meats, cheeses and beverages. I had the Rueben and my husband had a brat with kraut. My Rueben was so satisfying and my husband enjoyed his brat and kraut. The counter service was friendly and fast. Good clean place for a quick lunch it to just buy some delicious smoked meats. Family friendly, could be ok for a lunch date.

Nice owner who greets everyone and explains how he makes each type of sausage. A wide variety of meats and large open space. Buy some to enjoy at home!

Used to like this place but the staff has become a bit grumpy. Bit on the pricey side for what you get. It's OK but definitely not as good as authentic German Sausage

This is a must visit if you're in Hermann. The bratwurst selection is like nothing you've ever seen. They consistently win best wursts for their high quality brats. My favorite continues to be the Gorgonzola pear but the best in show brat is a close second. You can grab lunch here. You pay at the register, take your number and your food is delivered to your table. The girls delivering the food weren't the brightest, but I enjoyed my meal once I got it. Talking with Mrs. Sloan, whose husband is the wurstmeister was very enjoyable. I highly recommend this family run restaurant and grocery store if you're in the area. I'll definitely return on my next visit.

This place is amazing and definitely a stop when we come to Hermann! We eat here at least once.....a day hahaha! But the owner is awesome and very kind and humble. He's back there cooking it up! The platter is the way to go if you ask me. Every side we've had is great and, well, the brats really speak for themselves! We also stock up on some to take home with us. So delicious!
