Rasselbock Kitchen & Beer Garden

This place is easily my top pick in California right now. The food is absolutely incredible: rich flavors, hearty portions, and everything feels made with care. Whether you're going for schnitzel, sausages, German classics, or something lighter like a salad or appetizer, you really can’t go wrong here. This is the kind of place where I find myself recommending everything on the menu. One dish I especially loved was the Goulash - beef stew with carrots and potatoes, served with homemade spätzle. It’s hearty and flavorful but not like a soup and yet not greasy at all. In fact, what I really appreciate about this place is that the food isn’t oily or heavy, and it doesn’t leave that unpleasant "junk food" aftertaste. Everything feels clean and satisfying. The atmosphere is another highlight: cozy, not loud, and perfect for a relaxing evening. We came on a Saturday night and the place was packed, so I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. Here’s a quick summary of the prices by category: Schnitzel (includes 2 sides): - Ranges from $19.5 to $22.5 (most between $20–$22) Sausages (with 2 sides): - $16 to $17.5 depending on type - Includes traditional, spicy, lamb, vegan options German Classics: - $16–$19 (Goulash, Beer Braised Pork Shank, Käsespätzle) Appetizers: - From $7.25 to $13.5 (pretzel, pate, deviled eggs, salads, currywurst) Burgers & Sandwiches:* - $14.5 to $15 - With optional side (+$4–$4.5) Soups & Salads: - $7 to $14.75 depending on the portion and protein added Desserts: - $10 to $11 (apple strudel, bread pudding, blueberry cobbler) Drinks: Draft Beers (0.3L / 0.5L / 1L): - Around $7.5 / $17.5 / $33 - Kölsch Kranz (11 small pours): $34 - Das Boot (2L): $33–34 Bottled Beers & Ciders: - $6 to $13 - Good German selection (Weihenstephaner, Ayinger, etc.) Wines: - Glass $12–$16 - Bottle $42–$56 Non-Alcoholic: - $4 to $5.5 - Great options like Apfelschorle, Paulaner Sunset, Fentiman’s sodas Extras: - Dog-friendly menu (Dog Bratwurst!) - Seasonal mulled wine (Gluhwein $8.5) - Birthday boot promo: free 2L beer with 10 friends in your birthday month This place is such a gem. Cozy yet lively atmosphere, extensive beer list, thoughtful menu (even vegan options), and everything we've tried has been consistently excellent. Highly recommend it for anyone in SoCal!

Seen this German Restaurant a good few times driving by and dining in at the Ramen spot next door. Decided to come with the family and check them out. The food was cooked to perfection, their beer was very delightful and great to the taste. We started out with their signature Bavarian Pretzel served with their homemade sweet mustard and obatzda which was absolutely delicious. Wifey ordered an Erdinger Dunkelweizen which was a pleasant experience and tantalizing to the taste buds. She ordered a sausage plate which came with traditional Bratwurst and cheddar wurst. Included with the plate was a side of mash potatoes and their classic sauerkraut. I got their Jäger Schnitzel which came with a wild mushroom sauce, seasoned fries, and brussel sprouts. And our daughter got her plain hamburger which came on a brioche bun. Oh my gosh the food was so delicious and amazing here. The restaurant is clean, organized, and has excellent service. Our server was welcoming, professional, and very accommodating. Their staff was very helpful as well. Rasselbock gets a 5 star ⭐ rating hands down and all around from me in this one! I definitely want to come back and try more items on the menu.

Me and my partner come here if not every week, every other week. In the past, the vegan schnitzel was to die for, quite literally the BEST thing I've ever had in the long beach area, until today. I'm not sure if they got a new chef or changed up the recipe, but the meal today was a huge disappointment. Maybe the meal would have been okay if it was my first time here, but I know the quality of their food and this experience had me close to tears. 😭 maybe this was just a rough day for them? I will try my favorite meal again next week to see if it's returned to all it glory and deliciousness.

Came here twice and had a great experience each time! The outdoor patio is totally fenced off so you don’t get any interference with people parking their cars or walking by or distractions from the main street traffic. The outdoor patio is fairly spacious and VERY dog friendly! The servers even provided a metal bowl of water for the dog AND there is a sausage available for purchase for dogs that also comes in a metal bowl. The sausage sampler platter is delicious, as it also came with fresh arugula and I highly recommend the cheese sausage, along with the spicy pickled items, and an order of the deviled eggs. The apple strudel was also really tasty and came à la mode. When we came with a few more people, we shared the boot, which they hang on to your card until you finish so you don’t break the large glass. Servers came several times during our visit to check-up on us and everyone was very friendly. Parking is slightly limited, but not tight as we were able to fit a Sprinter van in one of the spots. Great place for quality “snack” appetizer dining or full meals. (Reference: Asian couple, able-bodied, small-average height/build, 30 lb medium-sized dog).

Great bar service. Great beer selection. Great food. The mini potato pancakes are good starters. I have tried two pork schnitzel plates with potato salad, brussel sprouts, and sauerkraut.

I had the exotic sausage plate with a side of sauerkraut and spetzel and my partner had the schnitzel with fries and potato salad. Everything was so delicious. The sausage was flavorful and exciting, the spetzel was undoubtedly homemade and I was surprised by the potato salad which was a creamy lemony savory dill style that really complemented the duck and bacon sausage. Shout out to the Petrus Sour on draft. The service was fast and, kind and attentive. Big recommend! We got to watch the fireworks from the window seats as well.

Authentic Awesome service Brian and the wait staff were genuine, friendly and knowledgeable about food and drinks. Haven’t had beer and food like this since my last visit to Germany. Thank you!

Got together with a great friend and his family to enjoy good beers and great food at a local spot in Long Beach. It was my first time there and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The staff made sure we didn't have to wait to be served and they provided great recommendations and which beers they paired well with. Yet another spot that's on my list of go to places I will definitely come back to soon. If you are looking for great food, great beer and a welcoming environment, look no further than Rasselbock Kitchen & Beer.

Pretzel was good! Different kind of cheese tho. Still tasty I just thought it would be a beer cheese. Service was great, I was attended well. Music was good! Kind of a chill vibe. Will go back to try the RB pulled pork sandwich

I have been in Germany and this restaurant has the best German food I've found in California. The Schnitzel was just like Bavarian Schnitzel. The Saurkraut was not the mushy American kind, but fresh, crisp and wonderful. The Kartofeln Pfnannekuchen was a great start. The Service was excellent, though nobody in the place spoke German. that would have been fun, but the service itself is far more important. The service staff was attentive but not "hovering". The Ambience was good, but being in California it wasn't like a German place. They did their best, but that was the least of my concerns. The food and service made up for it. The other patrons were friendly as well. Wunderschön!

This place is good to have some traditional German food. Their beer selection is very German forward with many styles that includes many bocks, wiesses and darker stronger beers. The food is decent as we got the brussel sprouts and the potato pancakes with apple sauce. I would like to come back here to try their other German foods. The space is very nice and very soccer centric with the jerseys on the walls. The space is nearly decorated and the music isn't too loud to enjoy the time with friends. There is an outdoor section which is nice too since this place is very popular. The staff was very nice and attentive when possible but I felt that the service was inconsistent in terms of catering to us when drinks or food was needed or even when the bill was to come in terms of timing and frequency. They always made sure we were ok but weren't there to necessarily grab our drink order or check in a timely manner.

Located in the popular Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach, Rasselbock German restaurant serves up traditional German fare, mixing in typical bar food and a good selection of German draft and bottled beer. Found the food that we ordered to be quite good, with very friendly service. Guessing that it's definitely a place where the atmosphere adds to meal enjoyment, especially at nighttime with alcohol. This is the original location of Rasselbock, opening in 2016. Their sister German restaurant (same owners) is Wirsthaus, in Los Angeles, opened in 2011. There is now a second Rasselbock (German word to describe a mythical woodland creature, with the body of a rabbit and antlers of a deer) in Mar Vista (opened in 2019 and close to the Venice neighborhood). They are only open for lunch on Fr/Sa/Su and has a large indoor and outdoor dining space; the indoor having various mounted TVs to watch sporting event and the outdoor set-up to mimic a bier garten. A friend and I took the bus from our place. Rasselbock does offer their draft beers in a traditional 'Das Boot!' (2 liters in a glass boot for about $33). Decided to skip alcohol because of the company, though I will be back to try their house kolsch. Ordered three things to share and was happy with all three: sausage platter ($16), mini potato pancakes ($9.50), and a Dude's Salad ($12.50). The three together ended up being a great sampling buffet for two. I was disappointed that they don't have the exotic sausage platter anymore (wild boar, bison, and kasekrainer) so ended up getting their normal (consisting of the same kasekrainer, bratwurst, chicken mango/jalapeno sausage). All three were good, especially the kasekrainer which is a traditional pork sausage filed with emmentaler cheese. I lived in the bratwurst state for a long time, and this version was decent. I normally don't care for chicken sausage, but this was enjoyable, mainly because of the natural casing being so crisped. In fact, all three sausages were expertly presented, grilled and crisped perfectly with cross cuts. The platter came with 3 homemade mustards (definitely helps to cut the richness of the sausage) and the amount was the right size for the two of us. The utensils given was the typical spoon, but also a giant steak knife...just perfect to cut the sausage exactly the way you want. The mini potato pancakes was neatly described in the menu, mentioning the inclusion of apply sauce, mascarpone cheese, and dill. I thought it would just be a pile of fried potatoes, but it instead was presented almost like bruscetta, with each pancake topped with the above ingredients. Truly meant to be a finger food. The third thing was a Dude's salad, which I thought was an actual term, describing a certain type of salad. It's not...but is actually easy to describe: It's a greek salad where the lettuce bed is replaced with crispy french fries. It shouldn't work at all, and by itself, I don't think it would. But together, with a rich sausage platter and well fried potatoes, it worked really well. It's just important to eat it right away...it would not keep too long. Service was friendly throughout, and payment was directly at the table. One of the main reasons I've been meaning to go, is that they are part of the Resy list of restaurants that American Express will give cash back for, if you frequent them and use the particular AMEX card. Of course I ended up forgetting my card at home before I boarded the bus. Best laid plans...

Exec summary: Very enjoyable. Great beer selection. Food: The jager schnitzel was great. The key is to pick your sides. I was a bit disappointed with the sauerkraut- it tasted of a can The rasselbock schnitzel was amazing As for sides: get the mashed potatoes, the spazle or the brussel sprouts For fun , make sure to order the kwak beer as it comes in the coolest glass ever. Service Everyone is universally nice Clientele: Mainly young hipsters. Beards and tattoos required. No beard required for the ladies , but an Apple Watch is a must Had a great time , with a visit Note: only three tables that have chairs with backs. If you don't mind benches or high tops the. You have more choices

Just picked up a to go order. Disappointed I paid $4 for a burnt sausage. I ordered the traditional bratwurst plate with an extra lamb sausage. The lamb was SO BURNT it was hard like a rock. I'm honestly shocked a cook would send it out when it's that blacked. We came here a couple months back and were disappointed with the bland brussels sprouts and deviled eggs. Decided to give them another try. The sprouts were indeed bland and so were the mashed potatoes. Not at all worth the price for bland, poorly cooked food. The atmosphere inside is always loud and belligerent. The waiter had to ask me to repeat everything twice even though I was shouting. Honestly stumped at what's the draw here.

We were looking for a place to watch the World Series. Since we got out of work at start time it was tough to find a seat at any establishment. I called Rasselbock and they answered, confirming they had space available and the game on TV. When we arrived we were sat in the outdoor area and given art materials for ourselves and our child dinner partner. The game was in fact on tv with no sound because there was live entertainment. A gentleman playing the accordion entertained us while we drank and ate our scrumptious meal. As the weather was a bit chilly we found the perfect destination because the outdoor seating was covered and heated. The food was hearty and filling which is exactly what we needed. I tried the vegan schnitzel which was not beyond meat but another style and very tasty. Glad that they had vegan options as they were out of the chicken sausage. We gorged ourselves on the starters of bro fries and pretzels so I had the German salads with my meal. Great service and ambiance!

Came here randomly one afternoon and this place was completed packed. I didn't realize that it was a big championship soccer game going on at the time but they were able to seat us pretty quickly with our reservation. Our party was 2 adults and a toddler but we reserved a table for 2 thinking that we could easily pull up a high chair. It was definitely tight and no other tables were available but we decided to stick it through. I'm glad we did, because we loved all the varieties of German sausages and beer. Really good flavors. The overall atmosphere was energetic and lively likely due to the soccer game. We had a good time...probably not the best place to bring a toddler but I'm curious to see how it is on a non-game day.

My husband and I wanted a yummy burger and fries for dinner. We ordered on-line which was super easy. There's plenty of parking either in lot in back or on the street to pick-up. Both burgers were flavorful and cooked medium-rare, so good! And the French fries are yummy too. We couldn't decide which to have, so we each had half.

Got together with a great friend and his family to enjoy good beers and great food at a local spot in Long Beach. It was my first time there and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The staff made sure we didn't have to wait to be served and they provided great recommendations and which beers they paired well with. Yet another spot that's on my list of go to places I will definitely come back to soon. If you are looking for great food, great beer and a welcoming environment, look no further than Rasselbock Kitchen & Beer.

Haven't been here since Santacon in December but Rasselbock popped up in Long Beach's restaurant week offerings and my dining companion who lived in Germany for a few years wanted to check it out. We sat at the bar - the outside patio was already humming at 6pm and the inside about half full. Good vibes. Couple of TVs at the bar and we could check out some of the Olympics and baseball games. I inquired about the Liver Pate Sandwich and was delighted to hear that the pate came in a jar and was served with 4 pieces of grilled bread and pickled onions. Perfect presentation and perfect taste! Yum. Yes, one must like liver pate for this! My friend the Jager Schnitzel-pretty common German pork beaten to a thin cut and dipped in a light batter. There's seemed airfryed as it was not greasy. The white sauce topping was pretty good. The sides of spaetzle and potatoes (bacon hidden underneath) were very good. We had 2 Hofbraus to wash it all down. Dessert at another table - a cobbler with some ice cream looked tempting but we were full. The service was very good. Attentive but not in your face. YEAH, we were given the silverware before the food arrived; one of my pet peeves is restaurants that fail to do this! Lack of training or what! Anyhow, we were duly impressed with the food quality, service, ambiance, and pricing. Reasonable in a day when people are re-thinking their restaurant dollars.

Located on Atlantic Ave, is Rasselbock. This German Haus is clean and Authentic, with their own flare. Street parking, with outdoor covered seating and indoor dining. Service was good and friendly. We ordered the Giant Pretzel Special, Potato Pancakes, Schnitzel w/Jager Sauce, Egg Spatzle, Red Cabbage, Oma's Potato Salad, and French Fries. Highlights were the super moist Schnitzel with crispy breading and that creamy, light, Jager(Mushroom) sauce. The French Fries were double fried and awesome!!!! Crispy, yet soft, perfection! The red cabbage was sweeter than most I've had, not bad, but different. The Pretzel was fluffy and soft, with that outside candy like shell. The mustard was bomb, sweet and hearty! The Egg Spatzle was good, but I like the potato version better. The potato salad I liked but strong German taste, good thing I'm half. Vinegar is your friend! Haha overall, good and worth the stop. *Nice having a German Haus*

Went here tonight for dinner and glad we did! The schnitzel was amazing! I ordered the one with the mushroom sauce, highly recommend. My wife ordered the goulash and it was mighty tasty. Much lighter than expected. We shared an order of the deviled eggs, fantastic! It's a cool setup with a relaxed vibe, right on the main strip in Bixby. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu (food and beer selection). Side note... get a Helles!

This gem is located right on Atlantic in Bixby Knolls. The vibe is low-key by day, then social come Happy Hour (3pm-6pm). Our server, Bryan, made sure that we were well taken care of. We never had an empty glass and the food came out just like I requested. We Ubered there to be safe after libations but there is a bunch of parking spaces behind the restaurant + street parking. We had the Sausage Platter as our appetizer which featured 3 delicious sausage flavors + 3 different mustards. I highly recommend ordering this as it sets the stage for your overall experience at Rasselbock. The Caprese Salad is light and crisp. The Schnitzel Florentine is full of flavor with aldente green beans that round out this robust meal. Thank you Bryan and team for a delightful experience.

Love having this German Beer Garden in my neighborhood! I've been able to try a variety of their menu items but my two favorites are the pate and the apple strudel. Both items are perfectly sized to share between two people. Staff here are nice and attentive. Definitely recommend stopping by for a German meal or a snack.

I ordered takeout and the food was so delicious. I usually eat at the restaurant and have a beer with my meal, but it was late and would close in an hour. My only comment is that the size of the adult meal and kid meal was almost the same. The adult meal had two sides whereas the kid's meal had one.

Always a good time here with good food and great people. For the holidays this amazing Christmas is on top.

We were greeted and sat right away. Maxine our server was very friendly and attentive. She had waters for us right away and checked in on us from time to time. The restaurant was welcoming. It's not a very big space. I sat in the bar area, and I was able to have a conversation with my friend without having to raise my voice. We ordered a bottle of their Werther Windisch Portugieser. My friend and I enjoyed the wine. To start we had their Deviled Eggs (garlic aioli, smoked bacon crumbles & dill). I gave this a 7/10. The bacon did not look smoked, and it was not crumbled. There was not much to the bacon, and we also felt there was not much to the deviled egg if it had to stand alone. It was just an average deviled egg. So, that was disappointing. The garlic aioli really made this app more desirable. For dinner I ordered their Rasselbock Schnitzel (breaded and sautéed pork loin). Instead of having it with their homemade garlic cream sauce I ordered it with their vegan sauce, reb bell peppers and tomato sauce. For my sides I went with their Homemade Spatzle German egg noodle & Spicy Green Beans w/ wild mushrooms. The Schintzel was a 10/10. I really enjoyed eating this. I ate it all. I really liked my choice with the vegan sauce. I would order this again. I was highly disappointed with my choice of sides 5/10. I was so bummed. Man oh man I was really looking forward to having the german egg noodles and spicy green beans. The noodles were so overcooked. Burnt at the bottom. Dry. Moving forward with the spicy green beans. I was very confused by this side because it was not spicy whatsoever. All I tasted was fresh herbs. My friend has been here before, and she stated she's never had the green beans like this. She stated that they are in fact spicy and she herself was bummed with how they came out. I should have 100% brought this to the server's attention, but I did not. To me, this was a kitchen issue, and I did not want my food to be taken back or be remade. Knowing I was going to review my experience here I wanted to base my review with no corrections. Overall, it was a good experience. This was my first time visiting. I will come back since I really enjoyed the Schintzel. I'm hoping that last night was just a fluke with the kitchen staff. I'm willing to give them a second chance.

Update 01/10/24 My son and I are now obsessed in coming here. At first you'd ask if it's because of the food and drinks. Although it's all great, we actually look forward to Wednesday night trivia here lol. Who would've thunk I'd be into trivia. Alot really does change when you get older lol Of course we had to grab something to eat and I'm not complaining about that at all. I tried the Schnitzel Sandwich-buttermilk chicken schnitzel served on toasted brioche bun, butter lettuce, tomato, pepper jack cheese, jalapeño aioli with German fries. This was enjoyable to eat. It was assembled beautifully and it wasn't messy to eat. It was delicious. 2 pints of Hofbräu Original completed the night. One more night here and I'm going to consider myself a regular lol

The schnitzel is so crispy and delicious. They had seasonal mulled wine, yum! The pretzel was good!

02.14.2024 - Valentine's Night Family Dinner @rasselbocklb Daughter's meal - Plain Cheeseburger Sliders with a side of Fries Daddy's meal - Rasselbock Schnitzel (breaded and sautéed pork loin topped with a fried egg with the garlic cream sauce on the side) Sides of choice: Cucumber Dill Salad and potato salad. Mommy's meal - Jager Schnitzel (breaded and sautéed loin topped with wild mushroom sauce) *you can choose from pork, chicken or veal Sides of choice: Mashed potatoes and Spatzle Mommy's Seasonal Beer of choice - Kwak Amber Beer @belgianbeercompany I absolutely enjoyed this meal along with the vibe of the restaurant. That Kwak Amber Beer was satisfying after a day at work, and the Jager Schnitzel is definitely a star on my list. The wild mushroom sauce...so delish that I asked for more on the side. My husband's meal was all gone as well! Also, if you're into trivia games, you can join in every Wednesday.

Fun atmosphere, service was great, beers and food were wonderful. This was our first time coming and it won't be the last. We'd come back for the Apple strudel alone!

Just did take out from the Long Beach location just fabulous. I wish that location was closer to my house. Very quaint. Great for hanging out with friends taking a date or just picking up some wonderful food to go. The food was so yummy Kasekrainer Potato Salad. Spatzle so so good can't wait till I can eat it there

I've been here a few times over the last couple years and the experience is always great! The customer service is amazing and the food is delicious. Most recently, I stopped by while having a bad day. I ordered the goulash soup which felt like a warm hug. I also got the apple strudel which was so good I can't wait to get more! It was exactly what I needed to lift my spirits up.

I usually come here during Oktoberfest and it's always a good time. Awesome staff and great vibes to be loud and a little ruckus. I love all the sausages and the sides are well portioned. You don't leave hungry. The pretzel is my favorite though. Also a great place to eat when hiro nori next door has a ridiculous wait time.

Stopped in for lunch, and a beer today. My d-in-law mentioned this spot, and I'm sure glad we went. The food was excellent. We had the currywurst platter, chicken schnitzel sandwich with fries (extra $). Paired with a Hofbrau Original beer, of course. Everything was excellent, to be honest. The curry sauce was definitely spicier than what I remember of a Berlin currywurst, but to be honest, I liked it better! Beer was cold, and good. Fries were outstanding. Service was spot on. They have an outdoor area that's heated with plenty of seating. I'd definitely come back.

Let's do a German fare here. Beer was certainly words one cannot pronounce unless you speak broken German. But after a few for yourself, you are speaking fluent German. The nibbles were perfect tastes to complement the beer. Go give this a try in eastern area Long Beach.

I love that they brought back the arugula, olives, and pepperoncinis back on the sausage platter! We got their seasons one where you can pick your own three. But the regular one is a favorite go-to for us. Kid friendly with indoor and outdoor seating. TVs to keep you entertained with sports. And the best selection of German beers on tap. Service is always amazing.

If there was ever such thing as your neighborhood German spot, Rasselbock would be it. I came during Oktoberfest and they had your typical steinholding contest etc., but Friday nights at Rasselbock are also a good time. My favorite things to order include: -Bavarian pretzel ($7.75): served with homemade sweet mustard, and obatzda -goulash soup ($9.75): hearty stew, short rib, potato, carrot, and herbs -any of the sausages If it's your first time here, or if you're sharing plates, the sausage platter ($16) gives you a good sample of different sausages. The platter comes with a bratwurst, Käsekrainer, and a chicken mango + jalapeño sausage. This is how I discovered the Käsekrainer, which is a cheese filled sausage. For my future self, I'll probably order a sausage a la carte (comes with 2 sides) and add a second link for $3.75). You can mix and match to your heart's content. I'd also recommend trying a schnitzel. I shared a pork wiener schnitzel ($20) with sauerkraut and spätzle last time. The schnitzel is a lightly battered and sautéed piece of meat. This was so delectably good. I also ate the sauerkraut and spätzle with the sausages so it was a win-win situation. Rasselbock serves up very good German fare and German food is the perfect drinking beer food.

The hubs and I decided to take our family party of 9 to Rasselbock last night with same day reservations. We were so grateful they were able to accommodate us in such short notice! Parking was super easy. The food was delicious! We had pretzels, mini potato pancakes, sausages, schnitzels, currywurst platter, tiramisu, blueberry cobbler, and black forest chocolate cake; everything was sublime! Loved the beer, too! My cousin who grew up in Germany said the currywurst platter was the best she's had in the States. She even took a picture of her dish to send to her sister. It gave her a "Ratatouille" moment at first bite. The dining room was simple and modern. We sat indoors and loved the casual ambiance.

We always enjoy going to Rasselbocks in Bixby Knolls. Great selection of beers and great food. Big, hearty portions, friendly service. The pork shank was tender and had a rich gravy. The schnitzel's wild mushroom sauce is great and has great flavor. The pork is not dry and the light breading makes a good texture. My only complaint is that the mashed potatoes and wild mushroom sauce were served lukewarm, but it was still delicious.

First timer at Rasselbock Kitchen in LB. They have a small parking lot in the back, we went during lunch so it wasn't too busy or hard to find parking. Walking in we were seated promptly and our server was excellent. He recommended the homemade spatzle when I got the rasselbock schnitzel. I absolutely loved it along with my potato salad. The pork is well breaded and the garlic cream on top adds so much flavor! This is definitely one the best dishes Iv tried out, It had me wanting more afterwards lol! The place is beautiful decorated with paintings and a unique style. They have a bar area as well for those interested. Great place overall and will definitely come back !

Had the Jäger schnitzel with mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. Wow. It tasted as if someone's German grandma was in the back making it. Was absolute delicious but wish there was more gravy but that's just me being greedy. Just so happen to go during a football game and was so packed with high energy. Surprisingly all our food came out quickly.

We really felt comfortable here and could have spent a few hours with no problem. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Good selection of beers that tasted great. We thought the food was just average.

Went on a Friday night and it was mostly full, luckily we got seated right away! Ordered the veggie burger with the German fries. Fries were well seasoned and crispy. Veggie burger was good - it had thick avocado pieces and the sauce on it was pretty tasty. We also got the boot beers, they were 2 liters each! Service and atmosphere was nice and poppin' for a weekend night. Pricing was pretty expensive for the kind of food that was on the menu, but I wouldn't mind coming again.

My wife and I haven't gone out for a good German dish in years. We stumbled on Rasselbock in our Yelp search, and looked over the menu. Coming here was a great choice! The ambiance is fairly typical, and the service was friendly and relatively attentive despite being a little busy. We ordered a couple of Stiegl Grapefruit on draft, a sausage platter, Schnitzel, and Cordon Bleu. The food arrived relatively quickly, and most importantly, everything was just right. Their homemade sausages are just the right mix of flavor. The fry was crispy but the meat was still tender. Must try the brussel spouts! Cannot say enough about this place. Found our go-to for our next craving for German fare!

I took my wife here for dinner tonight. I'm glad there's parking in the back of the building. We were welcomed by Trevor. He asked us where we wanted to sit. We decided to sit inside. Alena introduced herself she will be serving us. We asked for a suggestion for appetizer, light since we're gonna have entrées. She suggested the Spicy Brussel Sprouts. We're glad we went with her suggestion. They were delicious!! The entrées we ordered were amazing! My wife ordered Jager Schnitzel with saurkraut and fried potatoes. I ordered the Beer Braised Pork Shank. The meat is tender, it cuts like butter. Definitely coming back for more!

The food is amazing and the staff is so welcoming and warm. The beer and appetizers came to the table really quick. Nice relaxed place.

Rasselbock is a go to for my friends and I to celebrate birthdays. They are a pet friendly establishment that serves classic German food. We typically come during a friend's birthday month on a Wednesday to also enjoy their trivia night. They have a location in LA as well! A few of our favorites: -Cheddarwurst -Homemade Apple Strudel Hot tip: If you go during your birthday month with a party of 10 or more, you get a free beer birthday boot with your choice of beer! That's 2L or 68oz of beer. Please drink responsibly! Service is a hit and miss here. Most times it's great but there was one time two friends didn't get their meals until everyone else finished their food. I felt so bad for them...not sure if they just forgot to put in their orders.

Great place for real German food and beer. Always friendly service. Enjoy the beer menu with lots of great choices . The sausages are very flavorful and juicy. Never been disappointed with any of the menu ideas!

I am a big fan of restaurants that work as a portal-- you know they take you to a foreign land by bite and decor. And when I was invited to try Rasselbock, I was excited--- cause I was going to Germany- again- I've been there, and when to a beer hall. So I expected to go Rasselbock and enjoy beer in big comical, frosted glasses while the servers wore Ladderhossen. The Beer Garden experience here lacked- at least how I imagined it. Yet, I still loved the food, it was exceptional. Now, I am not a beer drinker. I never developed a taste for alcohol. So when I got the Rasselbock early, I did not know what to get. I asked for guidance from my server. She highlighted a pear cider. Which was good. I wonder if you get other fruit cidered--- you know like strawberry cider, banana cider, huckleyberry cider..... who knows? The pear cider was pleasant cause it was on the sweeter side, just like I like my alcoholic beverages. My dinner companion was named Bill. He is part German, by heritage. In the spot, they had pretzels--- you know those salty pretzels that are famous in Germany. I asked Bill, what do I do with it, he said eat it. I paused with joyous disbelief. He then said, comically, you wear it as a hat. I am sure it was- a you had to be there moment, but I lived it and it was good times. When you go to a Mexican restaurant they have tortillas, to help you make mini tacos, when you go to a steak house they have Parker rolls to help sop the meat juices.... but I did not know how pretzels should be used. Like their design does not make them a vehicle for juices or pieces of meat. They seem like an appetizer, or something you get at a themed park, they do not seem to have a utility. But, I can say happily that I ate a Bavarian pretzel. I got the Wiener Schniztel. It was made of chicken. And any images you have of the fast food chain, to help you understand this meal I ate should be dispelled from your mind's eye. This Schnitzel was breaded and friend. I asked for it to have a fried egg on top. And it was a crispy, delightful treat. I got Brussels on the side and red potatoes. I went basic with my sides, but the meal made me sing or to honor the fare of the country, the food made me yoddle with glee! I mean, that might be the only way to yoddle- cause I wonder if you can yoddle with grief, like at a funeral. I digress. I did try Bill's egg noodles- the Spatula and it was great. And that seems more authentic. I finally had their blueberry dessert. And I am not sure what it was exactly-- but it took me to the tops of the Alps. It was a sublime dessert. The place is good for drinking, and sports viewing, it is good for a date, or for friends to catch up. It is a versatile place with joyous food. I want to go back and try a variety of foods. But, I also want to go to a place that serves the same quality of food, but embraces the theme of being at Germany more strongly. Like I want suspenders, a tuba, and mountain goats around. But that is more to meet my fancy, if you just want good food and good drinks go here, you'll be happy!

The softest chicken schnitzel I ever had. No knife needed. Wonderful German beer selection. In, outdoor and back patio seating. Friendly staff and host. Efficient cook as food came out in good time. Best to make a reservation as this place fills up fast. One has 2 choices from a good selection of sides to add to your main dish. Salads, spaetzle, sauerkraut, red cabbage and more. Good sized servings from healthy to super delicious. Metered parking around the area until 8pm or park a little farther for free.

BasselRACKs Rocks! We're going tonight and I already know what we'll order...Stiegl Grapefruit for her, couple Erdennurgh(?) Dark for me...Pretzel, Sausage Appetizer platter and Bassel RACK Schnitzel. She's driving, Long weekend and I'm P, F and E Baby!!!

Get your German food fix at Rasselbock. While I've been to a few other more "old world" style German restaurants, Rasselbock is a bit more modern. We came here during Oktoberfest to enjoy the contests, special brews and live music but it's good any time of year as well. Our server was pleasant and handled our group of 5 with ease even on a busy night. We were able to pay digitally to make splitting the checks easy. I had the Kasekrainer Sausage with mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was delicious although next time I would order 2 sausages because I was still hungry after. Prost!

Who ever designed the bathroom for this restaurant should be FIRED! Who puts a nasty looking floor of poured black concrete in a bathroom? As far as the food, I did love the sides( roasted potatoes n brussel sprouts,saurekraut). The schnitzel Was fried very well. The sauce that came on it tasted like nothing, NO FLAVOR whatsoever, no salt, herbs, nothing.Yes, there were mushrooms in it. We are trying to reduce our salt in take, which is why we didn't add any. My husband spent several years in Army while stationed in Germany. It was our 33rd anniversary on Friday and I wanted him to experience a favorite food of his. He was so disappointed, this sauce ruined his appetite! I've never seen white sauce on schnitzel. The fries were fine, the flight of beer was refreshing. We will not be back.

When entering this establishment I felt the atmosphere and decor was a good vibe. I met the bartender Adam and he is a fine gent. I went in intending to just having a beer but the beer made me stay and relished in a delicious Wiener schnitzel with red cabbage and mashed potatoes. It was heavenly. But wait, it does not end there. I got the homemade Apple strudel and oh my, it was the bomb. I highly recommend this gem of an establishment !!

Service was good, great German beer selection, food was good and served fast. I had the jager schnitzel and it was cooked perfectly. Will definitely come back

Myself and nine of my former co-workers gathered at Rasselbock Kitchen and Beer Garden for lunch today. We gather every two months at a different restaurant and have been for over ten years. Today's restaurant was a great choice. Everyone enjoyed the great German beers that they have on tap, we had a few appetizers and some of their main courses. I had the Jaeger schnitzel with spatzel and red cabbage. It was delicious. Some of them had the schnitzel while others ordered the burger and others the sausage plates. Everyone raved about their meals and those that lived nearby said that they would return and/or bring relatives to enjoy the cuisine. The outdoor patio was conducive to our group as we stayed much longer than we normally do. We tried different beers and had a wonderful time. I know that I plan on going back with my wife and possibly to meet my brother and his wife there. Service was very good for a large group and the staff were very cordial. I'm glad that I found this place as it was a hit with our group.

10/10 definitely, definitely come here. I cannot say enough about how much we loved our experience stopping by last week. We loved the beer garden vibe and variety of German beers. My husband lived in Germany for several years before we met and is always hunting for authentic German food and beer and he was THRILLED! I loved the potato pancakes with apple sauce, deviled eggs, exotic sausage trio plate, and blueberry cobbler. Note, the blueberry cobbler is a dense cake NOT a cobbler, but absolutely delicious. Service was stellar - I had an issue with a salad and they quickly removed it from our bill AND gave us two free drinks! We cant wait to be back.
