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!

This German restaurant was very good. Food was excellent and drinks were very good as well. The atmosphere was inviting and our waitress was very pleasant. We enjoyed the Bavarian pretzel and potato pancakes for appetizer. My rouladen was extremely delicious and the spatzle as well. The service though was too slow for my liking. Took a long time to get our drink order and refills. Also took some time just for bread and water to come out. It was extremely busy for a Thursday night and their 1st day open after vacation so that may have been why. Overall it was worth the wait.

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.

C’mon now. This is too good of Resteraunt. Very good German dishes. Potato pancakes, banging, German potato salad, heavenly, Pork Schnitzel, scrumptious, Mead, to kill for, Sauerkraut Braten??, to kill for. Atmosphere is great, servers in authentic attire, clean restaurant, huge portions, prompt friendly service. Spaten was Spot-on. Specialty drink is a must called: BRAGGOT (BEER COCKTAIL) - Dansk Mied Viking Blood Mead (Honey Wine brewed with hibiscus & ginger) topped with Spaten lager beer. I could have stayed all night, only regret was not leaving room for dessert.

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.

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

Well, I see I first posted in 2016 about Mountain Brauhaus. Everything is exactly the same excellence, all around. I can only say that this place never disappoints. It is still one of my favorite restaurants. Shout out to the GREAT and friendly staff.

My grandmothers were German, my Grandpa was Austrian and this is the cuisine I grew up on. The staff was great but they need to stop dressing their waitstaff in dirndls. Most of them are not German and Dirndls are primarily worn on holidays and for weddings. No one is wandering around Germany every day in Dirndls and Lederhosen. It wasn't bad but I don't think I'd make a return trip. I had Sauerbraten and Mom had Rouladen. They were good but not as good as we make at home. Most of their wines were of the sweet German type, not the really good dry rieslings or the awesome Gruner Veltlener wines of Austria.

Great schnitzel and really psyched to see THC bevs (1mg) and other good N/A beers on the menu. Well done!! Lovely service and a charming dining room set against the beautiful cliffs of New Paltz.

Although we didn't make a reservation and had to wait for 1 hour before being seated, it was totally worth it! The food was savory and the drinks were crisp and refreshing. Margie was the nicest and most helpful waitress

1st time to the Mountain Brauhaus and we'll definitely be back! Set off 87 as you drive through New Paltz, you are immediately transported into the deep mountain valley with limited to no cell service. Reservations are highly encouraged and they were prompt on honoring our time that we made the reservation for. Many walk ins tried to get a table but only space at the bar was available as they were fully booked with reservations! We started with the Rueben strudel that I wanted to loved but it honestly wasn't that hot nor crisp but the accompanying sauces were delicious. The children's portions are extreme fair sized and the chicken was a huge hit! All the dinner platters were hardy and delicious with leftovers to take home, the highlights we're definitely the potato pancakes and that gravy for the pot roast I wish I could have bought a quart to bring home! From the first call to book our reservation to the hostess that seated us to our server and waitstaff that assisted her we're all very friendly and on point. Overall a fantastic dining experience with an even better beer list that was a huge highlight of our meal!

Outstanding! Yes, it's a tourist destination. Yes, it's crowded. Yes, it can be pricey. But, it's worth it. I have had better German food here than I had when I visited Germany a couple of years ago. As an added plus, our server, Charlotte, was pleasant, observant and upbeat for our service. Highly Recommended (at the risk of even more tourists!)

Service was fantastic! Chicken Snitzel very good. Wursts are half the size of any other German restaurant I've ever been to. Spaetzle wasn't good at all, I make better at home for under $1! Pretzel appetizer was smaller than a bagel. One and done for us

The best German restaurant anywhere. Seriously. Make a reservation! Or sit at the bar? Huge variety of Schnitzel! Homemade spaetzel! Toughest menu on the planet. Everything is so delicious. Been coming here for years. Still discovering new favorites... Daily specials will tempt you. Save room for dessert! The honey layer cake may change your life.

The most amazing food and beer I've ever had. Started with the lentil curry soup and pumpernickel bread that was to die for. Then had the pot roast as my main course. Everything was scrumptious and filling. Highly recommend.

Amazing German cuisine. We both had the chicken schnitzel prepared different ways - very good and very large portions. Next time we are splitting one dish. Each entree comes with a salad and we had the house onion vinaigrette. Also, we started with onion rings - they were great however, we should have started with the barvarian pretzel from the looks of it, it was much better and more of a classic. Service was great, plenty of people around filling up water glasses and taking empty plates. We also were seated with a nice view of the mountains so ambiance was good. I would highly recommend making a reservation- yes, it's old school calling to make a reservation however very worth it as we walked in and were seated immediately. We didn't have any room for dessert however they looked really good!

Amazing service that makes you feel truly welcome. The space is well-utilized and spotlessly maintained. They understand how flavors interact. The team showed warmth while solving every issue. This place provides a distinctive atmosphere.

Deeply disappointed with our recent experience at The Mountain Brauhaus. We have been here before...Maybe five years ago and were very pleased with the meal we ordered. Fast forward five years to yesterday and how things have changed. We started by sharing a Reuben Strudel and Absolutely Perfect. It was perfect in every way. That's where the fun ended. Our foursome ordered These four menu items and this is how they went: 1.SPRING CHICKEN SALAD - House Salad with Grilled Murray's Chicken, Local Apples, Toasted Almonds, Oranges, Basil Pesto & Citrus Vinaigre"e $19.00 Assessment: A tiny amount of salad with EXTREMELY dry Chicken strips. 2. A LA HOLSTEIN - Wiener Schnitzel w/ Fried Egg, Anchovies, Capers, Spaetzle & Seasonal Vegetable Pork $30.00 Assessment : A paper thin piece of Schnitzel-ed pork with way too many capers, sardines and anchovies. So much Tart and pucker from those ingredients made it very hard to really enjoy the Pork. The pork was quite "flavored" by all that tartness even after removing all of it from the plate. 3. SAUERBRATEN - Choice Beef marinated in Vinegar & Spices; w/ Sweet & Sour Gravy, Spaetzle & Braised Red Cabbage $28.00 Assessment: The flavor was on point, the spaetzle was great, Red Cabbage was the perfect accompaniment for the braised beef. However, the Beef was so over cooked and dry it required a sip of drink after each bite. Kinda sucked the wind out of the entire dish. This cut of beef requires 200 degrees (exactly) to render the fat and break down the meat fibers properly. This meat was brought to a minimum of 210-215 , which cooked the meat to beyond the point that it could retain any moisture. 4. HÜNCHENSANDWICH - Bell & Evans Chicken (Grilled or Schnitzel-ed) with Melted Emmenthaler Cheese, Black Forest Ham, Garlic-Parsley Aioli, Baby Greens & Tomato, on a toasted Pretzel Bun; served w/ Fresh-Cut Fries or House Salad, Coleslaw & Pickle $18.00 Assessment: Even all the delicious sounding ingredients couldn't help that (exactly like the Spring Chicken Salad) Super dry Chicken placed on that bun with such a tiny amount (maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons worth) of the Garlic-Parsley Aioli ( you could still clearly see the bun through the Aioli), which could have ....may have.... helped that chicken out a drop at least. Final Thoughts: They've been in business since Moses wore short pants. A degree of complacency has developed to where they're just doing it by the numbers and sending it out the door like they have forever. Management has stopped tasting what's coming out of the kitchen for whatever reason. I know this because if someone was randomly checking what the cooks are putting out, they would have caught all the over cooked/ dried out meat being served. So close....yet so disappointingly DRY. We will not be making the drive (one hour) again. Time marches on....things change.....Not always for the better.

We had an awesome lunch here after a hike at Minnetonka State Preserve. We got there a little after noon (on a Saturday) and it was crowded. By the time we left, people were waiting for tables. We had the Bavarian pretzel appetizer with cheese sauce (this came with an added cost, but so worth it), the wurst plate, and the beef rouladen. The wursts were tasty. They came with fantastic German potato salad and sauerkraut. I don't really like sauerkraut, but their's was tasty. The beef was amazing. Slow cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce and spaetzel. We will definitely be back!

Hubby was stationed in Germany for six years in the 80's. Since then he's been searching for delicious German food in the states. I've been searching for a restaurant to celebrate his birthday and I found Mountain Brauhaus.. Making reservations was a breeze. What a wonderful surprise for him! He was very impressed with the German beer menu, lots of great beers to choose from. Our waiter Eric brought a basket of fresh pumpernickel bread to our table. It's definitely authentic- such an amazing texture and flavor. Hubby went with pork Jagerschnitzel and I opted for pot roast. According to him the Jagerschnitzel was done to perfection with the Spätzle the perfect texture. My pot roast was delicious, fork tender and the mashed potatoes were heaven!! I also had a side of potato pancakes thst were so crispy and tasty. I brought a piece of apfel strudel home. It definitely tasted homemade!! I wish I brought home 2 it was that good. I feel bad withholding one star but, I asked for a straw (I understand they're trying to reduce plastic) and I was told they offered paper straws- however, I never received one. At no time during our meal did our server ever check on us or ask if we'd like more drinks. Last, hubby brought home half of his dinner as the portion was very large. He asked if a little extra gravy could be added because the spatzel absorbed most of it. The server said "oh sure, no problem!" Unfortunately- no extra gravy was added. Overall it was a lovely evening out and the food is delicious!

Located in a very scenic part of upstate New York, Mountain Brauhaus is well, surrounded by mountains. There is plenty of parking but it fills up quick. The servers were all very friendly and hustled despite being very busy. The tap list is full of premium quality German beers. We started off with the pretzel and the goulash soup as appetizers. The pretzel was brushed with a butter/ herb mixture and it was delicious. The beer cheese was the perfect consistency and the mustards were made from scratch. The goulash soup was smaller than I expected and it is more of a stew than a soup, but it was delicious. For entrees we tried the jagerschnitzel and sauerbraten. The schnitzel is absolutely huge and was cooked to perfection. The sauerbraten was the best I've ever had. The gravy was so good I would drink it in a glass. Both dishes were accompanied by rotkohl and spaezles. I found the rotkohl to be a little sweet for my taste, but the spaezles were crispy and fried to perfection. Mountain Brauhaus is a hike from where we live but it was well worth it. This place has been dishing out some of the best German food since 1955. It's definitely worth checking this place out at least once.

Everything here is delicious! There are so few German restaurants near me in NJ that whenever I'm in NY this is a must stop place. Pretzel with Gouda cheese dip is awesome! The pretzels are made with rye which I've never had elsewhere but it should be the staple! I can pass up their jaeger schnitzel which is always crisp and delicious. I am also not a desert person, but I always order a slice of their honey Cake to have their or later at home. The staff is always super nice and man do they bust their butts to get stuff done. Reservations are strongly advised but the bar is first come first serve. They also have a food truck outside that serves sausages.

The parking lot is always full here and the portions are epic. You won't be disappointed in anything you order. I prefer snagging a table in the bar area (if you're lucky) the walls are covered in history and all the serving staff are warm, welcoming and friendly. You WONT go home hungry!

I love it here! They give the kids wiki sticks and the food is in large quantities. It is a traditional German restaurant and the servers were traditional outfits. It is very crowded so definitely get a reservation, but it is SOOOO worth it. In the summer they have a yard where you can enjoy appetizers from their food truck. It is the best- recommend!

Wow wow wow. First of all what a cool place. My partner and I drove from NYC for our anniversary and his mother is from Germany, so I thought it was appropriate to go, since he's been here before. I gotta say, even without reservations we went at a weird time. We arrived around 15:30 for "dinner" lols but it really was a double lunch. The wait was only 20 minutes but granted it was Labor Day weekend so I suggest trying to make a reservation before taking the drive. A party that arrived mere minutes after us had a wait of 45 min and i can imagine the wait list can get much longer. They have corn hole in the back! Also a food truck for bratwursts, some cold appetizers, beverages, and it was all on a beautiful lawn with picnic tables. We were escorted to our seats and holy Toledo the staff were amazing. They were kind and very thoughtful. I've never been a stickler for timing from the kitchen but between the two of us we ordered two apps, the seasonal salad, and two entrees, and everything was fired where once we were finished with one "course" the next one came straight away. Rarely at this price point did I experience something like that. I was floored. The food was incredible, I ordered from the standard menu and so did my partner, we got the sauerbraten and the pot roast, and like many reviews I read of this place the seasonal salad is definitely worth it. The entrees also come with a house salad and upon hearing our full order we opted out of the house salad. The food was phenomenal and I'm looking forward to making the trip again! I almost forgot about the cake. There's a 9 layer honey cake which is what they also serve when it's one's birthday and it blew my mind. I almost cried.

Sorry no pictures but I've been here a handful of times and never had a bad experience. The food is awesome and authentic! Very cool vibe, a lot of wood decor and a great atmosphere, coupled with the great staff, drinks, and food make it a destination for us. Even celebrated a holiday there once (but forgot, Easter maybe?) If you're looking for authentic German food that's done authentically, this one's for you. Even the setting and location, you'd think you're in the German Alps, with the world renowned (for hikers and climbers) Mohonk Ridge right in your face! GO if you haven't. Really good!

A cute German restaurant, conveniently located at the intersection leading to many of the hiking trails. It's perfect for refueling after trudging through the many grueling hikes in the area. Reservations are highly recommended especially during peak season. I was actually surprised we got a table since we only made a reservation the day before. We got the pretzel to start. I'm not a fan of the licorice taste of caraway seeds which was embedded in the pretzel so it wasn't my favorite, but I loved the mustard sauces it came with. I had their burger special which had huge cuts of sauteed mushrooms which were delicious. The place is clean and decorated like a traditional German pub. The staff are dressed in German garb also which made it fun.

Stopped in for an impromptu lunch. Beer was cold and fresh tasting, we gad the von trapp Oktoberfest which was refreshing and delicious. My chicken schnitzel was nice and thin,crispy-but unfortunately,unpleasantly dry. My bf had the schnitzel sandwich, and he too, found the schnitzel to be really dry. My spaetzel was nice, but for some reason was coated in some salty chicken bouillon, instead of just a nice browned butter. Portions were generous, service was decent. For some reason they wouldn't seat us outside, even though there were others out there, and tables were available.

My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to eat after our strenuous hike through High Peter's Kills Trail and we found this place on Yelp. Very close to Minnewaska State Park Preserve, and we had never tried German food, so we were interested and had no expectations. We walked in and we're greeted by all the workers in our vicinity. The place was very clean and inviting. It felt as if you were going into a family member's home. The interior decor was beautiful and they even have a fully functioning payphone that they still use to this day. We were seated quickly and given our menus by our server Danielle (who was a phenomenal waitress by the way), which said menus are clear and easy to follow (remember, we never had German food and we had no idea what most of the names of the dishes really meant). We started by sharing the Goulash Soup and Pretzel with the Smoked Gouda, and got the Satin Solitude Stout and the Braggot cocktail. Everything was bursting with so much flavor and cooked perfectly. The pretzel was literally the best pretzel we ever had, and the smoked Gouda was the perfect pairing. Even their mustard and horseradish that came with the pretzel was phenomenal. The goulash was very tender and just delicious. The portions were perfect for appetizers. Our drinks were absolutely delicious. I especially loved my Braggot cocktail, as I had never had anything that tasted like that before. I ended up getting a second one. The entrees we got were the Pot Roast Dinner and the Zwiebel Rostbraten. The pot roast was so savory and flavor, but never salty or overbearing. The gravy is amazing with the mashed potatoes and the meat was super tender. The Zwiebel Rostbraten was our favorite though. Nothing against the pot roast, but it was just literally the greatest thing ever. Everything on the plate went perfectly together and we couldn't stop saying how delicious it was. We barely were able to finish our plates as the servings were generous (especially the amount of meat they gave) but it was perfect as we were so hungry from our hike. We were disappointed only for the fact that we ate so much that we didn't have any space for dessert. We're planning to come back to try more things on their menu. The food is also not expensive at all, considering how perfectly everything is portioned. Combined with the excellent customer service and the warm, welcoming atmosphere, it's really a no brainier for anybody in the area to try this place. We live pretty far (Westchester county) but it's absolutely worth the drive. It really is that good.

AMAZING! We live about 4 hours from Gardiner, and I'm already trying to plan a day trip back because we enjoyed Mountain Brauhaus and the area so much! We were both trying to figure out something to eat, but our waitress Joanie helped SO much with answering questions and giving suggestions! She was fantastic! We ended up ordering a vegan brat dog, and a chicken schnitzel platter. I have never been one for vegan faux meats, but this was amazing. So glad I took Joanie's suggestion! I asked for a cup of coffee to go with dessert, and she even seeked out oatmilk for me. We also ordered a slice of Honey Cake to split. My one regret was spitting that dessert. That was the most amazing thing I ever had for dessert. Portions were large, food was fantastic, service was amazing, atmosphere was homey. There is a reason they have been around as long as they have! CHECK THEM OUT! Ps. Nice mountain views on the ride to boot!

I had no idea where we were. My friends come here on the regular for their black forest cake. But man, their special black bread with raisin slathered with butter got me. Their hot tea is meh (didn't taste that great, water was lukewarm not piping hot). Their pumpkin chicken soup was stellar. Their mixed salad was rock solid. My two pals got their schnitzel with spetzel. I opted for 1 sausage in a potato hot dog bun. The sauerkraut was good. But the side of fries was HORRID. Soggy and full of oil/grease. The waitress let me swap it for a tiny side of red cabbage. The red cabbage was the best I have ever had so I ordered a whole side. Before leaving, my pals had to order the black forest cake and honey cake. Both were sublime. Well made, perfect in every way.

I loved this place and I can not wait to go back. My friend kept raving about this place and I am so glad I went. I ordered the pretzel with cheese as an appetizer. As a main course I had the pork schnitzel with mushroom sauce and spaetzle and sausage on the side with potato salad. It was a lot of food and I took a lot of food home. It was delicious and I know they are closed for the season right now. We also ordered dessert the apple strudel and it was so good. I loved all the food and the decor. The service was amazing, welcoming and friendly. The person who was our waitress was very informative and gave me great guidance as a first time customer. The rye bread was delicious. The salad was quite delicious and fresh and came with the main course. Everything from this restaurant is homemade.

The food is consistently great! You know it is going to be good because they are so consistent. From the appetizers thru dessert, Mountain Brauhsus always delivers. Favorites of mine are the Ruben Strussel, pretzel with beer cheese and for my main course, Sauerbraten. I have never been disappointed. Also, don't for get to the the buttermilk dressing in the salad! The service is as good as the food. We have never had a bad experience with a server. They are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive!

Had a pre-wedding dinner there with a lot of people and I was enthralled with the food. I often travel to that area to see the guy who works on my guitars and I always fantasize about going back but since I have my two dogs with me, it doesn't seem like an option. Maybe in better weather they have outdoor dining. It is something I will actually investigate because I liked their food so much.

What an absolute treat - a German restaurant serving fantastic food in heaping portions, a stone's throw away from the numerous hiking trails in the area. Seriously, the food here is incredible. And even if you don't like the German staples (schnitzel, wurst), there's still so much variety on the menu that you can easily have a great meal without going near a meat entree. For example, the chef isn't afraid to be creative. We tried a watermelon gazpacho off the seasonal menu, and it was so refreshing! The dish manages to pull off a combination of watermelon, pistachio, feta, and more, leading to a delicious creation that I easily could have downed by the gallon. The wiener schnitzel was phenomenal - perfectly breaded and fried to a golden brown, with an amazing texture that was filling without feeling too heavy or oily. Paired with great sides and a jam, it was tough to think of a time I've had a better schnitzel dish. 100% worth a visit when you're in the area. You won't regret going a little out of the way to try it!

The food was amazing. It was full of flavor and well-prepared and cooked. Portions are incredible for the price point. The servers are really friendly and helpful. Despite the crowd, we never felt rushed. The restaurant resembles a slice of Munich, love the lederhosen! I definitely will be back and highly recommend.

Yum! Yum! Yum! Excellent German food- having actually had German food in Germany recently I found it a struggle to find authentic dishes back home. The Jagerschnitzel is perfekt! The beers are tall and cold- the ambiance is amazing- our server was lovely! We opted to sit outside because it was a perfect evening, plus you get a beautiful view- felt like I was back in Germany- dining outdoors with amazing food, friends and beer..what more could one ask for!

Brauhaus was recommended to my group by a stranger we met at a fire pit. It did not disappoint. We came with a group of ten on a holiday weekend. Instead of telling us to kick rocks, then asked for us to wait for a bit and they'd try to put together an arrangement. We had some beers and appetizers in their yard as we waited. Despite being very busy, they were able to assemble a table within an hour. Once seated, service was superb. Very quick, friendly, and attentive. Food wise, I had the chicken jaeger schnitzel. It was delicious! Not much better than thinly fried chicken with a mushroom gravy. Portion was quite large.

i was so looking forward to a good German Schnitzel, but this was not the place to get it....the meat was tough , even had a hard time with a steak knife. And there was no flavor to the breading, just plain bland. Another family member got a burger, that was very dry....and the third got rouladen that were just ok....all i can say that it is sad to think that people come here believing this is good German food... No complaints about the service.... One visit was enough for me! Never again!

Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had. Delicious authentic German cuisine, excellent beer menu, and top notch waitstaff. I wish I took photos and I wish I brought dessert home with me... the meal was so fulfilling and I was so contented the thought never crossed my mind. This restaurant could be the sole reason for a trip to this region; schedule other activities around dinner hour and enjoy the anticipation as the hour comes closer. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

Was not jazzed when my husband suggested this place as I'm not a huge fan of German food. Lucky for me they had more than that on the menu. I had the special salad of the day and it was honestly the best salad I have ever had!!!!! Perfectly cooked grilled chicken, perfectly dressed just YUM! Hubs had a burger with a side of spaetzle. Both had two cocktails and the bill was very reasonable!

Had a reservation to come here at 2pm on a Saturday and I am so happy we made the reservation. Large crowds and I can totally see why. Everything was fantastic. I can only imagine what dinnertime looks like. We had a group of 7 and we were seated in a cozy corner. Our server was sweet, quick on her feet and knowledgeable of the menu and gave spot on recommendations. Can't go wrong with delicious German. I had the sauerbraten, spaetzle and red cabbage. Amazing individually and altogether in one hearty bite. The food was comforting and completely satisfying. Don't forget to accompany with a thirst quenching Oktoberfest. Was so happy to take hone leftovers that were destroyed when we finally made it home. I implore you to make a reservation otherwise you will most certainly miss out on all the deliciousness, unless you want to wait two hours, which if you're patient enough, I'd still recommend. It's THAT good! Sadly, I did not get photos. My phone died during our hike. Booo.

Really cool authentic German spot for a Sunday brunch combined with a drive up 44 and 55. You are served by the waiters and waitresses wearing their dirndl and lederhosen. The vibe is vintage yet clean. The food is hearty. It gets really busy so make reservations ahead of time. The Wiener Goulash Soup (aka beef stew soup) was deliciously hearty with generous amounts of beef. The beef rouladen comes in 2 pieces that can be shared amongst 2. It's all around hearty. For dessert, the Black Forest cake takes the cake over the lemon coconut.
