Mountain Brauhaus

A must-visit when you’re in the area, especially after a hike at Minnewaska State Park! This authentic German restaurant has such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The portions are generous, and the schnitzel with mushroom sauce is absolutely delicious. Don’t skip dessert, the layered honey cake is a standout and truly a must. Be sure to make a reservation. It’s popular for a reason!

Very strong German food and vintage German homey decor. Affordable and reasonable menu. Friendly and excellent service. Beautiful view outside of mountain rock and trees on it.

We ordered the Sauerbraten and Schweinshaxe (pork shank). The Sauerbraten was tender and had a balanced sour, savory, and sweet flavor. It was our first time trying spaetzle and we enjoyed it. The Schweinshaxe was fall-off-the-bone tender; I expected more of a mustard flavor from the gravy, but it tasted like a normal savory light gravy. Portions were generous and the fresh cider was also great. Some tables have nice views of the surrounding landscape.

Excellent everything, especially the desserts! I've never had German food, so I needed some guidance on what to order, but everything was 9 out of 10, and then the desserts and appetizers were off the charts! I've included pictures below of what I ordered.

I mean, what more could you want. A quaint little place with an authentic flair. Food was decent. Can't complain. Had a wonderfully made black forest Manhattan. Couldn't make it to dessert. It's definitely worth a stop.

From Florida, this was 3rd trip to area in the past 6 years. It's always a favorite for dinner. Authentic German cuisine. Service was a little slow this trip, it seemed, but food well worth the wait. Will definitely return when in NY

The food was delicious - even for someone like me who isn’t traditionally drawn to German fare. To make the outing extra special, the servers wore traditional German garb which was a super fun touch! The pic is the Reuben strudel, which was very good but the Yaeger schnitzel was sensational! Didn’t get a pic- I ate it too quickly.

Three of us stopped in and enjoyed our meal very much. The service was great, the server helped answer any questions we had. The spetzle was spectacular, browned nicely but no "burned" taste like some restaurants have. The nine layer honey cake is a absolute must try.
