Rasselbock Kitchen & Beer Garden LA

Tried Rasselbock for the first time and overall had a great experience! We started with the beet salad and a pretzel — the salad was fresh and delicious with just the right amount of dressing. The pretzel was decent, though it didn’t feel super fresh. For mains, we had the chicken schnitzel and veal, along with sides of fries, garlic Brussels sprouts, spicy green beans, and spätzle. I personally preferred the chicken — it was tender and flavorful — while the veal wasn’t quite as soft. The sides were all tasty, though they seemed slightly over-fried and possibly cooked in oil that had been used a bit too long. Great beer selection with plenty of German options, and the place has a few screens — definitely a solid spot for watching soccer with good food and drinks. Our host, Melina, was friendly and attentive throughout. Bonus points for the music playlist — surprisingly, a lot of the songs were straight off my own Spotify! Would definitely come back

Stopped in for dinner with a friend who had been wanting to visit. It was a quieter mid-week evening, so there was plenty of seating to choose from for everyone dining. Food options were all great for our vegan friend, and those of us non-vegans that were there. I had/recommend the classic Wiener Schnitzel with Spatzle, it was excellent.

Stumbled upon this place by chance and glad we did. It wasn't overly crowded since it was a Monday and early, so we got a table inside by the window. Shared an app and entree, which both were great. Waitress and bartender were super helpful and will definitely be back.

Ordered the Wiener Schnitzel with sides of Sauerkraut and Homemade Spaetzle as well as a Paulaner Salvator beer. Also ordered a Bavarian Pretzel and Spicy Brussel Sprouts. The Wiener Schnitzel is breaded and sauteed protein (chose pork) plus the sides. The pork had a crispy exterior breading and the flattened pork inside was nicely done, very easy to cut and chew. The portion was a decent amount and the lemon wedge added a sprightly flavor. If you’re a big fan of sauerkraut, the portion is quite big, a touch saltier and more sour than expected. If you want something lighter, the red sauerkraut is a more balanced option, less sour, a bit sweet. The Homemade Spaetzle was a soft and chewy noodle that paired well with the schnitzel. The Paulaner Salvator was one of the recommended drinks on the darker side and this indeed was a good choice. The Bavarian Pretzel comes with two sauces, a homemade obatzda (cheese) and sweet mustard. The pretzel bread is soft but firm to tear apart, best eaten fresh and is a very aromatic bread. This goes well with both sauces. The Spicy Brussel Sprouts are crispy fried brussels with parmigiano romano and creole remoulade. These brussel sprouts were very dense but thoroughly seasoned inside each bite and had a very light spice kick. I was able to sample a few other main courses and overall find them great options whichever you choose. This place is quite busy during the dinner rush but getting a table was not too difficult. The service is very quick, patient, and courteous. The interior ambiance has plenty of Germanic decor from mugs, to the rasselbock, and the countryside mural. There is front patio seating, interior seating, as well as seating in the far back. Parking in this area can get difficult and is mostly metered street parking.

I was visiting my daughter from out of town and stumbled across this amazing spot. I enjoy authentic German beer and food so this was a treat. Staff were great and friendly. Food and beer were also very good.

This place is great. Beer selection is awesome. Boy let me tell you I am sick of going to bars and only seeing 26 varieties of IPA on tap. Traditional German beer and food. Weinstephaner is probably one of my favorite beers and they have it on tap here. 🙏 🤲 Bavarian pretzel was a decent app that most people will like. It comes with a honey mustard that's very tasty 😋 I got some bratwurst with potatoes and sweet red cabbage. Wifey got schnitzel with mushrooms and brussel sprouts. We were highly satisfied overall with the meal. It's on the expensive side but you won't be disappointed with the flavors! I will definitely come back again 😁 Also they are dog friendly 🐕 ❤️

Excellent food, really enjoyed the Schnitzels and the Spätzle as a side are almost perfect - a little bit too much water in the dough but lighlty fried what would be called Butterspätzle. The side house salad with walnuts was also great. The beer garden is a back patio and nice as that. Unfortunately, our party of two was told that we could not sit at the long tables. Sharing tables with other guests is a hallmark of a beer garden, they should not be reserved for groups.

This is a great little German pub. I liked the potatoes. The pretzel with cheese and mustard was very good. It was refreshing to have a giant pretzel with a cheese other than beer cheese and it was very tasty. I enjoyed their sides of the German style pasta. That was very tasty. This is a great place to get your favorite encased meat such as a sausage. The sausage was extremely juicy. Keep that in mind as you’re cutting into it so it doesn’t spray your wife in the face. I will say that the flies on the back porch were an unwelcome guest that did make us want to leave a little sooner however, this is a cute little spot and I would come back.

My boyfriend is a huge fan of snitzel so I am constantly on a hunt for a german restaurant, and I think we just found our favourite new spot! Of course we ordered 2 plates of snitzel, I got the Pretzel Snitzle with bacon, pickle cubes and cheese sauce, he got the Rasselblock one with sunny side up egg, garlic sauce and red cabbage and hands down this was the best snitzel we ever had! For dessert we choosed the warm apple strudel with vanilla ice cream and cherry jam. Everything was just perfection, we definitely gonna come back! Thank you guys for everything!

Great neighborhood restaurant! Was finally able to try this restaurant after passing onto many times and seeing the delicious food on Yelp. I've passed this place many times on the weekends when they had events or live music. My friend and I decided to try Rasselbock for dinner tonight and really enjoyed it. It was still early so it wasn't crowded inside or outside but we decided to take advantage of the weather and sit outside. The menu has a great selection of items. We ultimately settled on the Jager Schnitzel with noodles and homemade Sauerkraut and the chicken wiener Schnitzel with Brussels sprouts and the homemade potatoes with bacon. Everything tasted delicious and fresh! Service was great also! No complaints and I'll definitely be back for one of their events!

The food keeps getting better with every visit! And service is always impeccable! We love their sausage selection. All the schnitzel are very good

Another super yummy dinner. The food was excellent as always. Service was A+. Awesome beer and bar!! The game was on and a good time was had. Cant wait to go back.

Wonderful German restaurant! I've been to Rasselbock so many times now and I can't get enough! It's also my out of state family's favorite place to come when they visit. They have a wide selection of beers, I usually try the seasonal beer, but my go to is definitely the Petrus Sour. I always get the Bavarian Pretzel to start out but have also tried the potato pancakes -- both of which are absolutely fantastic. I always get the vegan hamburg sausage as my main and have tried almost all of the side options, but omg the spicy green beans are amazing! I wouldn't really consider them spicy, but they are seasoned wonderfully and have a great flavor. The service is always top notch, the servers are friendly and attentive. I personally love to sit in the biergarten out back, but the inside is also decorated well with various German art and decor.

Love this place one of my fiancé's favorites stoped by on our morning walk . I had the breakfast burrito. It was delicious. Huge selection of brews also had no idea they had five dollar mimosas in the morning. We will definitely be back. Service is great perfect location.

Great food. Love the schnitzel and spatzal. Friendly and very clean. If you love beers it's the place. this place specializes on a few items and does it right

We love Rasselbock for lots of reasons. The staff is top notch and takes great care of us. The tap beer is amazing and fresh, evolving with the seasons. The food is a great blend of comfort German food and reliable favorites. The most remarkable and refreshing part of sitting at the bar has been meeting fellow Mar Visitans and truly appreciating these new friends. I'm never bored here because the people, staff and guests, are exceptional humans. Thank you!

Offering German bar concept, Rasselbock opened all day long for the guests to enjoy German nibbles and entrees over their signature beers. The place was vibing with sports matches on TV, yet chilling ambiance during the day. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seats, including those by the bar; so worry not on reservations ahead. Nonetheless, the waiting time to be served, getting the foods ready, and checking out did take awhile as they seemed to have very limited number of servers (at least at my visit time on Sunday lunch time). Good news, the foods did worth the wait! We started with their Sausage platter, serving their so called traditional sausage, spicy chicken, and pork with cheese. This was surely great pick if you wanna try different kinds of their links without having to have each of them as main meals. Though all of them were flavorful and impressive in their own ways, my fave were surely the latter two. The spicy chicken was distinctive blending sweet and spicy taste, which I thought I'd never had before with sausage. The pork one was so juicy and cheesy in a great way, perfect to be enjoyed with the honey mustard and dijon dipping sauce. We picked the Rasselbock Schnitzel for our main, which served breaded pork cutlet with deliciously creamy garlic sauce. I at first thought the slices were quite too thin but ending up loving they were served that way as they came with 2 sides of your choice, making it pretty filling. We're super hooked by our choices; rosemary potatoes with bacon and grilled brusselsprouts, and could doubtlessly say the sprouts were 100% not to be missed! Having had awesome first experience, could confidently say that the next visit wouldn't be that far away!

Excellent little cool weather spot for a west side brunch! The dog-friendly back patio is covered with a few heat lamps-- amazing during our rainy season. It's a beautiful bar area on the inside. They've got a decent selection of German beers and whip up a fantastic espresso martini. I usually go for the pretzel and a spicy vegan sausage with a mustard sauce with sauerkraut and Brussels. Service is always friendly and welcoming. Maybe it's just good luck, but I've always been able to find street parking right outside.

Cute little spot--we like to go for happy hour. There is a ton of seating-outside tables in the front, inside around the bar, and a (covered) patio in the back. Lots of TVs, usually playing soccer. The bartenders make a great cocktail. Food is great (the sausages are where it's at,) with allergy options listed, and service is always friendly. They have a good German beer selection and you can get a boot, if that's your thing. Parking is only street--metered, if you can get it, out front, or side streets.

I came in the middle of the day so it wasn't busy at all. I had chicken wurst with German fries & garlic Brussels sprouts. The wurst was okay, on the dry end. The fries and Brussels sprouts were both really good. The service wasn't bad.

Stop by here with some friends for a snack! Ordered the pretzel and the truffle parmesan fries! Pretzel - 8/10 great texture and the mustard sauce was super good. Not a huge fan of mustard but it was nicely paired with the pretzel Truffle Parmesan Fries - 8/10 super crispy and nice slight truffle taste

We were still sitting at our table when the staff suddenly started cleaning up around us, turned on all the bright lights, and made it very clear we had to leave--even though there were still a few tables left. It was extremely rude and unprofessional. We felt completely unwelcome. If you value respectful service and a relaxing dining experience, I'd suggest going elsewhere.

You can't go wrong with the schnitzel at Rasselbock! My favorite is the Pretzel Schnitzel, topped with pickles, bacon, and a cheesy sauce. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. The restaurant also has a superb list of draft beers, fantastic servers, and a fun ambiance.

The Jager Schnitzel was fantastic. Mushroom cream sauce complemented the fried schnitzel perfectly and the potato salad was a great partner. As my friend said, it was like a highly elevated chicken fried steak. The two liters of beer also went very well with two great NBA Playoff games

Great service and cute spot! We showed up without a reservation on a thurs night and got seated right away. Everything we got was great! The brussel sprouts, fries, pretzels, schnitzels and sausages were all incredible. You can't go wrong here

Great place for German drinks and eats. They have a nice patio in the back, seating in front outside and also indoor seating. Plenty of parking on the side streets or at the front meters. Farmer's market is there on Sundays so might be harder to find spots but in the back where the school is there was parking. They have a lot of vegan options and a great beer selection. I had the vegan currywurst which was nice and spicy. They have a non-spicy one also. They have desserts and plenty of sides. I'll be back to try their vegan schnitzel. -Parking: along the front, and side streets -Prices: range from $7-$20 -Vegan/vegetarian: plenty of options for both -Pet friendly outdoor back patio and front outside seating

Rasselbock is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles. If I have anyone visiting me from out of town this is where I take them and everyone so far has loved it! Food is always amazing! I personally recommend the Chicken Jager Schnitzel. The mushroom sauce on it is seriously heavenly. All of the sides I've tried have always been really good too, especially the garlic Brussels Sprouts. They also have a decent vegan selection which is nice, because I can bring my vegan friend here. Rasselbock has a large German beer menu. Personally, I like ciders over beer and they have two really good ciders as well. The Perry Miloslawski is a yummy pear cider and the Bembel Apfelwein-Pure is more of your standard apple cider. Both are great! The ambience is nice with the mood lighting and fun German decorations like the Jackalopes on the wall. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, whichever you prefer. Service has always been top notch as well. Rasselbock is my favorite Mar Vista hidden gem and I can't recommend it enough. Truly a 5 star experience every time I've eaten here :)

My favorite bar in Mar Vista area. Always go there for a pint after football game or farmers market. Service always nice and welcoming. Some rare rotations on taps and menu which is great for beer lovers.

Lovely German restaurant! We got seats right away . The crowd was amazing very nice people at the bar Thank you for the great drinks

I stopped in after saving this place in my "Places to Try" collection a while ago. I went traditional and selected the (veal) Schnitzel with red cabbage and fries. For dessert - warm Apple Strudel with ice cream. I love the simplicity of the food. Made fresh and very tasty. My only issue was with the fries - which I am sure were the seasoned type from a bag. Considering the authenticity of the freshly prepared food, fresh hand-cut fries would've complemented the meal. The schnitzel was a huge portion - I had leftovers to take home. The apple strudel was delicious and not too sweet. They have a good beer selection too. I will definitely visit again to try a few more things on the menu.

The German food & service here is always consistently great! The schnitzel & Sauerkraut are amazing. Please don't leave without trying the streusel it's phenomenal! Ambience is fantastic and they have a back patio as well.

Amazing schnitzel! One of my favorite meals on the Westside. Also a chill atmosphere, and some tasty beers! Almost everything we tried here was very tasty. Service was nice as well. It can get a bit crowded during peak times, but it's definitely a unique little spot to try, if you're in the area.

Great food just like when we lived in Germany. I even found parking right across the street. Our server was extra helpful and suggested some beer pairings for us that went well with the schnitzel!!

3.5 Good wursts, beer , was hoping for better, service ayt, not much of an ambiance/vibe

Very tasty schnitzel! Fast efficient service. Great beer lineup. Dog friendly outside and in back patio too

Food and beer were great! I had the Jager Schnitzel with the mushroom sauce and all my friends tried it and loved it!! Dog friendly (:

First experience left me impressed I had the chicken and elk sausage with potato salad and rosemary potato's My dinner companion had the jager snitzel with chicken sides of fries and Brussels sprouts. Food came quick and wasn't overpriced for the quality meal. Definitely gonna try the Long Beach one next but worth stopping at the LA location if closer Nice bar setup for drinking too if that's your thing and dimly lit candles at the tables add to the vibe and experience. Cute spot friendly staff and tasty food. I recommend for sure :)

After being turned away from another nearby place they decided to close just over 2 hours early with only 1 table served, we took a chance by trying Rasselbock Kitchen and it turned out more busy and interesting electic German Gastropub food. We all three of us ordered three different Schnitzels, all Pork and were all delicious with sides of German Fries, Fried Brussels Sprouts, Spatzle, and few cannot remember. The only problem was my plate was somewhat cold, but the flavor help to keep better satisfied. We also had Apple a la mode for dessert. Yummy! We are looking forward returning to try with Veal instead of Pork

Prost!! I highly recommend this restaurant!! The food was fantastic; the service was fantastic! The vibe was fantastic! And even when it's not Oktoberfest, I would still come here to eat because I throughly enjoyed everything we ordered!

As we move through this thing we call life, rituals and routines emerge. What began as a momentary sense of reprieve from the mundane, has since evolved into an auspicious aura of sorts. As one can expect, there is no shortage of delicious Hefeweizen, Lager, Pilsner and Kölsch from a place called Rasselbock. Even a few decent ciders join the ranks of this German inspired collection. But what you may not expect is the community. Wait staff greet you with smiles and care as you take your seat. The locals are warm and welcoming. Few will find it difficult to strike up a conversation with their neighbour. If conversation is not your concern, two screens above the shelves of spirits allow you to get lost in the latest sport rivalry. Or simply listen to the hip radio station playing songs you have heard but didn't realize you missed. But what about the food you may wonder? Well have no fear, it is simply put, delicious. A plentiful but not overwhelming menu helps you to find a favorite in no time at all. For this old dog, two wieners (Kassekrainer and Elch) and two sides (Mama's Mash Potatoes and Balsamic Brussel Sprouts) are my go to. If you are feeling particularly peckish, deviled eggs and the pickled vegetables are delightful. There's not much to do now but check it out yourself. When I am here, I know that I am on the right track. Especially on days when the older gentleman is playing traditional german folk songs on his accordion in the corner. Prost!

Samantha thank you for amazing evening good drinks, good atmosphere thank you We order the cider with apples sweet and delicious

What a lovely experience this was! From the outstanding customer service to the delicious dishes we ordered today (still thinking about the scharfe wurst- spicy beef sausage...yummmzzzzz, sorry ate it too quickly and forgot to take pictures) We will definitely be back , especially because of Dennis- HE WAS EXTRAORDINARY ! Thank you thank you !

Very good schnitzel. Great pretzel and love the sweet mustard dipping sauce. It's Oktoberfest so get the liter of beer! Wonderful service and fun atmosphere with live music

First of all, I'm a chef of Dutch and German origin so I understand and adore German food. First off, the pretzel was outstanding and tasted like more! But the Weiner Schnitzel was a thing of beauty! The spaetzle had my companion asking me to teach her how to make this little dumpling like noodle dish. We were so happy with our meal I couldn't help asking the waiter if the chef was German, his quiet little head shake "no" brought a smile to my face. I was impressed! Not many chefs cook German food these days and certainly not this well. I will be back again!! Please consider opening a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley!

A cute little German bar serving up some good eats! The food is hearty and heavy, perfect to grease up your belly before downing some beers. They had a good selection of brews and we especially liked the spicy mixed pickles. Service was prompt and courteous. It was a pretty quiet weeknight besides a couple of groups but I saw regulars coming in and out and sitting at the bar. Would definitely come back next time I'm craving some German food!

Food was great . Everyone was very friendly. Can't wait to come back for more beer

Love this local restaurant, very homey! The beer selection was great, they also have TVs around the restaurant to watch different games. The food was great! We Enjoyed the kaisespetzel and the Rasselbock schnitzel! The ambiance is great for a date or to grab a beer with friends. Feels comfy kind of like a local dive bar but much more nicer and cleaner with German beers, really can't beat that!

Excellent food - Sausages and sides - potato salad, balsamic Brussels sprouts, salad with candied pecans, schnitzel. And wonderful pretzels served with warm sweet mustard. I'm making myself hu fry writing this.

I think Rasselbock actually ruined me for Germany, I just came back from there and I was just craving rasselbock the whole time? Absolutely amazing

Love love love the beers. I don't even drink beer but I guess now I do. I only drink Rasselbrock beers and good German beers at tap rooms. The service is very friendly.

I just ordered from Rasselbock on Postmates. An emphatic 5 stars! I was recently in Germany and Austria, and the sausage and chicken schnitzel tasted so authentic. The green beans, roasted potatoes and cucumber salad were very good to great. I predict that I'll be eating at this place again and again.

The information at the website opening hours is wrong!We just go with the uber and closed.Bad experience!

I've been wanting to go here for quite sometime now and was super happy to finally get the chance to do so. I used to spend a lot of time in Germany, so it was nice to see some dishes that I haven't seen on a menu for so long including schnitzel and curry wurst. My favorite part was ordering the kolsch to share for the table. For $28 it wasn't bad and was fun to share! Check this place out if you're looking for some German dishes!

For the record, I was not at all excited about driving to Mar Vista to try a German restaurant, but when we had to go to Mar Vista for other reasons, my husband seized the opportunity to get takeout from Rasselbock. Well, the whole family, including me, is now addicted, and we keep finding dishes we love. My favorites so far include the spicy Brussels sprouts, sauerkraut, spätzle, jager schnitzel, and the apple strudel. The sausages are also excellent - I can recommend both the chicken wurst and the käsekrainer. My husband enjoyed the triple B burger, but I will warn you that it stinks to high heaven because of the blue cheese. Didn't love the curry wurst because I don't love tomatoes or ketchup.

It's taken me WAY too long to try this place, and thrilled I finally did. There's a reason it's always packed. Inside is cute and intimate. Tables close together. Noisy. There are two outside seating areas--some tables in front on the street, and then a 90% enclosed, covered back patio, which is where we sat. It also is quite crowded and noisy, so if you want it to be quieter, I suggest a table outside in front. My cocktail, Where Is The Love, was really good and refreshing. We also started with a pretzel, and while it wasn't the best pretzel I've ever had (or particularly big...), it came with a super yummy sweet mustard dipping sauce that I really enjoyed. For my entree I had the Rasselbock burger with a side of fries and it was awesome. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time and the fries were delicious. Service was friendly and kind. I'm excited to return and next time save room for the apple strudel for dessert....

I took my friends to trivia night on Wednesday! Super crowded but super fun! Totally recommend reserving a table in advance! The food was DELICIOUS! I honestly can't wait to visit Germany now trivia was so fun and the place was super cute! Amazing staff too! Will definitely look forward to going back
