Riverside Biergarten

Great location. We got the pretzel bites. At over $7 definitely not worth that. Did not have any other menu items. The pretzel bites are the ones you get at Costco in the frozen food section. If you’re looking for quality hand made pretzels skip this place. Services wasn’t great either.. they were not busy at all… probably should have taken the hint.

The hot dogs we had were good, but they ran out, which is odd since it's one of the primary menu items. Had the Peach Cider, it was good and would recommend.

Got the giant pretzel and it was great! A bit pricey for a pretzel but we were hungry… $14, including 2 cheese and 1 mustard. The bier cheese and mustard were amazing. We were also pleasantly surprised by the live accordion music! The carry-away plate isn’t cover so don’t plan on going too far with it to eat.

Fabulous view of river traffic, in a shady spot with a thoughtful and timely bar manager who served a fabulous Jack Daniel's and ginger ale as I basked in the humid shade and enjoyed being on vacation

Excellent little store. Pretzel was good!

Beer was fine, service was fine, pretzel was good. Brats were awful; way too salty. The curry in the currywurst was bad; tasted like moistened curry powder. The fries were over-seasoned. We weren't expecting gourmet food here, just brats and wurst. Have a beer and a pretzel here and then go eat somewhere else

This was some of the best sushi I've had, and I've had a lot. I highly recommend the everything bagel roll. I sat on one of the benches near the river, and due to the wind, I dropped a chopstick. Barely a second passed before I saw a kind employee rush over with a new pair. I highly recommend this place.

My wife and I have visited a few times always very friendly people and everything we have eaten was delicious. Their pretzels and beer cheese are phenomenal! Also love the apple streudel! And try the German potato soup; yummy!

What a pleasant surprise along the River! We were strolling down River Street & noticed they had added a ton of new shops. In the past, there wasn't much left to see after passing under the tunnel but they've added a lot to this corridor. Near this end, right near the river, is a small Biergarten tucked behind the buildings. They offer all German cuisine here! It's mostly pretzels & bratwurst, but a decent selection & sides. We dropped in to have a bier. There are about 5-6 long bench tables, with a nice trellis/track lighting overhead & columns of ivy (I think) providing privacy. The atmosphere here is stellar, providing a scenic backdrop of the river. The beer I had, Gun Bunny Witbier, was perfect for the Biergarten! My only suggestion is for them to add more authentic German Beer (Tucher Helles & Weihenstephaner would be ideal additions). The options were fairly limited. Other than that, I'd highly recommend stopping by here!

So glad we stop here! We got some delicious bratwurst dogs and pretzel bites. We got our dogs without sauerkraut and with caramelized onions. The pretzel bites were fresh, crispy and had a hint of something we couldn't recognize but was delicious! Sure, it's overpriced but it's in a tourist area and still worth it!

We stopped by here as we were walking around. We were hoping to find a table, but discovered they removed most of their tables, in efforts to force people not to hang out for St Patrick's day. Pretty stupid considering they are one of the few places with only outdoor seating, yet all the indoor restaurants are serving at capacity. Let's use some common sense. Sitting outside is way safer than indoors, yet you're taking outdoor seating options away from people. The complete opposite of what should be happening. We grabbed a giant pretzel, which came with 2 beer cheese and 1 mustard. My husband also grabbed a beer here. We had to try and walk around to find a bench to sit on because of the stupidity mentioned in the above paragraph.

Let me start by saying I was super excited when I heard a Biergarten was opened by the Savannah River. This was my first visit and I was disappointed and doubt we will return. All beers were over $10 per glass! It was actually a plastic cup which is a lesser experience than a glass, but I understand why they stick to plastic in the open air setting. First impression is this is super expensive. Additionally, the garden isn't very big. If I am paying over $10 for a beer then I don't want to carry a traveler and walk around. There needs to be a seat so I can sit and enjoy the German atmosphere. Now there weren't many people there on the Friday night that I was there, but it was chilly outside and is still in the COVID reduced traffic. There are two counters, on opposing sides of the Biergarten pergola. One side was German themed but offered local beers, not actual German beer. They offered a few German inspired munchies like pretzels. On the alternate side was an Asian Spring roll counter. It seemed very out of place. It was a really odd choice for the Biergarten. We enjoyed the live German music, consisting of a single man playing the accordion. The views of the River, bridge and boats was nice. Of course it's a great place to just sit and people-watch. I just couldn't get over the high price of the beer, and they eclectic mix of German and Asian fare. It's one of those things that make you go hmmmmm.

Over priced and over rated. Buying a frozen pretzel at the grocery store would have been better than this one. Keep walking East down River St and you'll find better food.

The only food this place has is pretzels. No brats, no wurst plates like were indicated by Yelp. The beer is good and the ambiance was comfortable.

Holy moly, for an unpretentious little place shared with a Sushi shack the prices are certainly outrageous. We shared a small entree and an appetizer, drank 2 beers and 2 sodas and spent $61. Live German music was ok. Food tasted authentic, but I can't get over the price.

Taylor and Ham did a great job with the desserts here. We already had dinner elsewhere, but husband wanted to try their dessert. Taylor whipped us up a special "off menu" to accompany the Streudel. Both were fabulous desserts and the guys were very personable. Great job!

Very nice view of the River! That is the best I can say. For a Biergarten, they didn't know what Weiss Bier is, and after having a Bratwurst, they don't know what German food is either. We will not be going back. It is such a shame because with a little effort they could really offer something unique in that location where people would go there for the food, rather than giving German food a bad name and just being a tourist trap.
