My husband and I were in town for vacation, on Memorial Weekend. This place was extremely friendly, and the menu options were impressive. We were eager to try German foods and this place delivered. A giant pretzel, and the sour kraut cakes were an amazing meal followed by an incredible German Chocolate Cake. The vibe of the place was a classy bar with a touch of grandma's living room. The outdoor seating area was also very classy and romantic. We would definitely make the trip back just for this restaurant.

Late review as we visited back in January. From what I remember, restaurant was quaint and the food was delicious! I got a sangria, not sure if it was seasonal but it filled me with the feeling of Christmas & Winter. Service was superb. We stumbled upon the restaurant when we checked out the coffee shop that was upstairs. It’s nice to have a unique restaurant like this in a small town, it’s always pizza or burgers. Glad we got to check this place out. My husband and I left the restaurant feeling full & happy!

So far, this is one of my favorite places to eat in HS. Twice. Both times have exceeded my expectations. A wide selection of schnitzels some great beer choices. Very cool building and great vibes inside. Everything I've have eaten has been so great.

For a nice start to your meal try the sausage and cheese board. You get a juicy bratwurst and knock wurst sliced up so that you can dip into 3 different flavors of mustard my favorite was dipping into the gravy sauce. On the board there was a huge salted pretzel and different flavors of cheese it was amazing. The Jager schnitzel is very large portion of thinly pounded breaded pork seasoned perfectly with a nice creamy brown mushroom gravy it was delicious. Red cabbage and cucumber salad made my meal truly an authentic German meal. You will find this place downtown Hot springs go downstairs and to the left you find the door to Deutschland of authentic cuisine.

Highly recommend Steinhaus Keller! We had a lovely experience! Jay, our waiter took great care of us and gave wonderful recommendations. We had the pretzel for an appetizer, soup flight (couldn't pick a favorite, but maybe the goulash soup- all were good). Entree- pork weiner schnitzel , with potato cakes and Brussel sprouts. We left full and very pleased.

I'm so glad we stopped here for dinner! We had a great meal with wonderful beer pairings. Their beer list is almost as good as the food they serve. We recommend the schnitzel, doner kebab, meatloaf and the beef remoulade.

Very authentic cooked to order German food. Biergarten and restaurant. Plan to stay and enjoy your favorite adult beverage. Saturday we went was not crowded, but after Tub races! Live music provided.

They took the chicken cordon Bleu off the menu! That was very disappointing. But overall, everything else was very good. It was a bit of a wait (even with us having reservations). But we ended up enjoying ourselves and the food, though, so it's definitely a win-win.

My husband and I loved this. My 13 year old not so much. He wasn't excited about the foreign cuisine. We loved the snitzel. We got a giant pretzel appitzer. Portions were huge, flavor was great! The service was great, server was very attentive and knowledgeable on the menu items. The place is kind of low lit, and casual seemed ok but I could see folks getting fussied up for a special occasion.

Avoid This German Restaurant - Unless You Enjoy Overpaying and Waiting Forever Came in expecting authentic German flavors. Left with an empty wallet, an empty stomach, and a full dose of regret. 1 The "Surprise" Bill Menu prices looked fine... until the bill arrived. Suddenly, there were extra charges no one mentioned - including a credit card fee. I've eaten at plenty of restaurants, and this is rare. Final damage? $50 per person. If you're into financial plot twists, this place delivers. 2 Waiting Game, Portion Shame The wait for food was epic. Long enough to memorize a few pages of a German dictionary. And when the plates finally came, portions were so small I honestly wondered if they'd served me the kids' menu. Price-to-portion ratio: tragic. 3 Customer Service? Meh. When I asked about the extra charges, I didn't get an explanation that made sense -- or any real effort to address the issue. The vibe was more "take it or leave it" than "we value your business." Bottom line: Price-sensitive? Skip it. Hate hidden fees? Skip it. Short on time? Skip it. Dining out should be about enjoying food and atmosphere. Here, I mostly enjoyed the life lesson: do your research before you go.

Food was good. Service was great. Cool little atmosphere, clean and divey. Can I make better German food at home? Yes, but I liked it it was fun. Bartender was friendly!

Atmosphere is great- especially when they have live music, but the last 3 meals have been just terrible- made without love- watery sautéed mushrooms, a lentil salad slathered in way too much basalmic glaze... I think it may be better if you are meat and potatoes water. Nice beer garden and good selection in the bar.

We decided to try a new spot during our weekend trip and this was Hugo's rated as one of the places you wanted to eat. I got the goulash and it was hard to enjoy because it was salty. The place is a decent size but it is very dark in there so it's hard to read the menu. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Glad I tried it.

This was a solid three star. It was great, but it wasn't bad. Our party of six all agreed it was just ok. We all had different pork schnitzel's which seemed to be overcooked. You had to really saw at them with your knife. The server was great, really upbeat and knowledgeable. The restaurant seemed dark, probably because we were in this dimly lit corner. Overall it was neat and clean. We might give it another chance if ever in the area.

The restaurant location is very cool and we were there around Christmas time so the restaurant was decorated in a very festive manner. The staff was friendly. The food was only ok. Granted, we do not eat a lot of German food so don't have a lot to compare it to so take that with a grain of salt.

The food was delicious and there was a wide selection of food and drinks to choose from. Our server was very friendly and helpful and let us know about specials that weren't on the regular menu. They had live music that was at a great volume to be easily heard but still allow for conversation. The atmosphere was classy but not intimidating. They take reservations but reservations aren't required. Would definitely go back!

The food here is good. But unfortunately it takes a long time to come out. So you'd think it would be hot. But the potato pancakes and the stew were very cold. It's a cool German vibe and you need reservations for the tables. But Jake at the bar redeems this place. We will be back if only for Jake! Best bartender ever!

We found this restaurant because it is dog friendly. I really like it and thay are very dog friendly. We first went in Sept 2023 and they had an awesome doggy menu which has sadly gone away. Went back in July 2025 and was very happy with the service, food and drink. I had a very well prepared Old Fashioned and the Kirsch Schnitzel with a lovely house salad and the red cabbage, all really good. Our dog had the doggy beef patty (off menu). Nothing fancy, just good food and nice people!

Lynette and I stopped here while on a road trip. It's just a little bit off the main drag, so we didn't have to put up with all the mobs of tourists. It's very close to the convention center. The atmosphere is incredible. Legit beirgarten. It's located downstairs in a basement with some outdoor patio dining as well. It was Saturday night, and they had some live music. Nothing intrusive, just nice background music. Lynette had the bratwurst plate, and I had the Jager schnitzel. Both were very good. But the Black Forest cake was awesome. The service was very friendly. If you happen to be in the Hot Springs, AR area, you definitely ought to consider stopping off here.

Last day on vacation & wanted something different. This restaurant hit everything. Excellent location in Hot Springs & the food was AMAZING! It's a environment is clean & on the fancier side. Staff was super helpful with the menu. But wow... the meal. Each of our meals were $30-32 each & worth every penny. Nothing I would change about this experience.

This place was amazing. We didn't intend to end up here but were so happy we did. The dishes were aithentic and flavorful - I loved my schnitzel and my wife loved her stroganoff. The sauerkraut made me nostalgic for childhood in Baltimore where kraut was a staple side dish. The dunkelweiiss on draft was wonderful. And my wife really enjoyed the mulled wine she had with dinner. Matt our server was excellent talking through the menu and making sure everything was taken care of . We will definitely be back next time we are in Hot Springs.

We had been traveling all day, and were starving. We got there very early, do the restaurant was slow. We sat at the bar and got a brief introduction to the different German beers. We also ordered a gigantic pretzel. We really enjoyed the bartenders company and expertise. The food was excellent, the beer was cold and delicious. My only complaint was the bar stool was uncomfortable, and too tall for the bar. I felt squished. Nonetheless, we had a great experience.

One of my top restaurant choices for when I visit Hot Springs. I have enjoyed every item that I have tried on the menu. I really look forward to returning to this restaurant since our most recent trip to central Europe because as I look back on the menu; there are many more items that I want to try. There is a great beer selection and you have to get the homemade apple strudel. It is delish! The atmosphere reminded me of our visit to Europe as there were many places that had grotto atmospheres. Our server was very sweet and efficient. We will definitely return!

The food was authentic German and absolutely delicious. Be prepared to change your mind on your order at least 5 times - their menu is quite extensive. PLUS they had a specialty menu also! They started with a bread service but pace yourself, or you'll be full before the entree arrives. The trout dip was amazing and served with enough crackers to finish the dip. Their specialty cocktails were amazing, and my chicken paprikash tasted just like my grandma's cooking. My issue was the service. I never got my second cocktail and had to ask that it be removed from the bill. And our food took really long. The dining area looked unfinished, like it was someone's unfinished basement. Sometimes, the exposed brick can create a great atmosphere, but it just looked thrown together with not a lot of thought on the ambiance they are trying to create.

An intriguing gem; a decent survey of German cuisine with some traditional stateside fare with an occasional Rathskeller touch. Tucked down on the sublevel off the street, iron stairs lead down to a Biergarten atrium and a labyrinthine dining area. It's fantastic. You kind of descend from the street into a different locale. They've apparently taken negative comment to heart when it comes to seating and wait times. I booked on Open Table, was texted 11 minutes before our reservation and told the table was ready. I confirmed we were on the way; once inside we were seated...immediately. The staff was warm, hospitable, and attentive to our requests. Something came up early, we had to leave urgently after ordering, and I suspect our waitress moved our food on the fly (which I boxed and ate later). This was exceptional and par excellence; despite dealing with a crisis, now that I think about it, it was hard to notice my socks rolling up and down while dealing with emergency. When I did get to the food, man, oh man, K-f'in'-O. Brief aside: I love German food. I'm of German decent, my Grandfather own a deli in Memphis that did mom and pop Reubens, vinegar slaw, kraut, and German potato salad. Occasionally I can rook my dad into making pretty decent rouladen; a rare treat is sauerbraten. The varieties offered by SK were better, tastier, substantial (portion wise). Highlights: the sauerbraten: the sauce that covers the meat...save the bread they give you. The sauce deserves to be sopped up with bread and devoured. The beef was excellent. Large chunks of potato salad was sweet, sour, earthy. The earthy being an unexpected but welcomed variation. The klopse: dense but loose, if that makes sense; the sauce, rich and velvety/buttery. The stuffed shroom: more of the same. The frikadellen: more of the same! There was nothing that I didn't like. Hell, the fries were even good! The cabbage rolls were above average, but not the best I've ever had (looking at you, Polonia in Hammtramck, MI), but still damned good. All told, go. Go sooner rather than later. Starve yourself. But on your elastic waisted trousers, be a glutton, order whatever you damned well please and be prepared to enjoy every morsel. Order too much? The food travel well and makes remarkably good leftovers. If there's anything to be said that's critical of SK, it's that the dining room is loud; it's a restaurant in a basement, er, grotto. Either way, this place is fantastic. Wait a minute there, Matty S., you may be thinking. 4, not 5 stars? Yes. And because 5 stars is paradigm breaking, life altering, you can't find this anywhere else, an experience both new and instantly creating nostalgia for 5 seconds ago, unfair that I can't eat here everyday level. SK is 4.8 stars; and 5 star places don't get rounded up. They're unicorns. SK is a magnificent Clydesdale, big, muscle-bound, dragging a draught-cart and feeding all it comes across to the ovation of each and every individual. But just not, for some reason, a unicorn.

We are visiting Hot Springs to come and eat this specific German food, we had a reservation, but still had to wait 30 minutes for our table. I ended up ordering the mushroom soup to start off. It was probably one of the best mushroom soups I've ever had. It included, homemade croutons and drizzled with truffle oil which I have never had before. For our main entrée, we shared the Jager schnitzel pork which came with two sides. We ordered the potato pancake with applesauce, the brussels sprouts covered in beer cheese, cucumber salad and German potato salad. The food was absolutely delicious and would highly recommend everything we had. The service is the only reason it's getting a four star. By the time we finished our food, we had to wait another hour to get our check so that we could leave and move on with our night. Just be prepared to wait.

I am very glad I stopped here with my family. The menu, restaurant, and music were great. Steinhaus Keller has a large menu with many German food options, like sausages and schnitzels. I happened to find my favorite German beer here. The staff is dressed in Lederhosen and Dirndls adding to the atmosphere. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting downtown Hot Springs.

I loved the food and feel of this place. The only thing I could even say is a flicker of a con is that it's dark and sometimes a little loud. With that said- you go to an authentic German restaurant, what else would you expect? It's a strange love, I know. Food was fantastic and messy in all the best ways. Okay, I can think of one con- even though the wait staff was friendly and fun, they were terribly slow. Other than that, great food

I had high hopes when this place came highly recommended, so I switched around my dinner plans and came here. The place is tucked away within a little restaurant square off the main road, and after I parked, there were a bunch of signs to help me maze through the square and find the restaurant. It was a busy Saturday night, yet I was able to immediately get a seat at the corner of the large bar. Looking over the menu, I was excited to see I could do four side dishes as an entree! Two of my favorite German dishes are spaetzle and German potato salad , so I got those plus a creamy cucumber salad, and I asked the bartender for a fourth recommendation - I wanted another vegetable to round out my plate - and he suggested the vegetable of the day: green beans with bacon and mushrooms. It took more than 30 minutes to arrive - which surprised me because they were side dishes and I figured they were prepped ahead, but also the bartender had mentioned to another customer that the kitchen was moving fast that night. I'm not sure what slow would have looked like! The potato salad was awesome! Full of bacon, potatoes were crumbly, and so much flavor! Other than that, I was underwhelmed. I absolutely love spaetzle and was pretty disappointed by this one. The cucumber salad was just ok, and I left almost all of the green beans behind. I did see some other entrees come out that looked good, especially the snitzle sandwich on a pretzel roll.

We had been searching for a place to eat on a Saturday evening. Appears one must plan ahead and place a reservation in this town. This was the 3rd stop and at least they had spots at the bar. We saw 4 tables open and assumed those were for reservations. We had a good vantage point of both sides of the restaurant and could even see the musician playing the accordion. However, the bar stools were not made for hours at the bar. The bar staff was very attentive and took good care of us. Our Käsespätzle Vorspeise was out quickly and that was really enough to feed 6. Then right on time, our main course came out. I had the Jäger Schnitzel with Rotkohl and Kartoffelsalat. All was really good! Hat allen super geschmeckt! While not cheap, it was nice to have Deutsche Küche for a change. (I lived in Germany for 5 years in the early 1980's). Those 4 empty tables turned into 7 and stayed open, thus a loss of a star. Das ist schlecht!

There are so many things I enjoyed while dining here. First and foremost I recommend making a reservation especially on the weekend. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding, that we had on the 29th in Hot Springs. His family is of German decent so I made the reservation as a surprise. The food absolutely did not disappoint, neither did the German beer. He had the stroganoff without noodles because of carbs, but opted for the German potato salad and Brussels. I had the lingonberry lemon veal, with Brussels and cucumber salad. Everything was fantastic, and our server was amazing! We finished sharing a piece of German chocolate cake. The best we ever had! They even brought us a small bottle of champagne to share.

Service was ok, she tried to keep up, but seemed like she was running all over the place. Patio area outside is a little closed in and dated. Mismatched furniture and lack of breeze combined with harassing flies made for a challenging meal. The food itself was ok, son did NOT enjoy the kids macaroni and cheese, cheese board was good, but the food was just ok, didn't knock our socks off. The desserts were also ok. All in all 1 appetizer, 1 cheese board with pretzel- that was awesome! And a main entree with a kids meal and two desserts were $170. It was just not worth that. Regret that being our only meal out on our trip....just didn't live up to the idea I had in my head. Maybe you will enjoy better than I did.

Service was good, not the front desk though. The only thing we all like is the cabbage rolls. The rest food, too salty and not as described on the menu, for example, "fall off the bone tender". We liked the live music.

We loved the food and our overall experience was good, but we got blindsided by a "night tax" or fee that was an additional $22 onto our bill. It was just a party of two and we had reservations so we really didn't understand what it was for. Otherwise we loved it and enjoyed trying new beers and foods!

The menu online was not updated to reflect the menu at the restaurant. There was not an alternative suggested by the server or manager although apologetic. I was unable to eat from the menu.

We ate there a couple weekends ago. Ambiance was great. Waiter was good. Forgot his name, a Black gentleman. The poutine was ok but gravy was too salty. I got the viessewurst. (Spelling). It was good, kinda flimsy but I guess that's just the consistency of it. With the purple cabbage and the potato pancake, latte cake. The lat key was pretty gross. It tasted like it was melded together by some sort of glue. No flavor or seasoning. Please try to make a better recipe for this. I do love latkes. My dinner companion had the burger and he enjoyed it. Please try to work on using more spices native to Germany. The purple cabbage was my favorite. Thanks. I'd try it again.

First of all, this place is amazing! The garden, the music everything is an absolute treat. I love german food here is cooked amazing and the staff are nice (except one of them but i wont let that change my opinion of this place). First time i came here, there was live music and i had tried many of their beers and had an absolute blast, i had to come back the next day and relive it a second time. This spot is well designed and has a very warm/colorful setting. Love that its not like a lot of other places that have fully modernized.

The ambiance is very nice. Located in lower level of multi business area. Stone walls, low lighting and tables spaced well. Service was excellent, timely and a nice server. The food was good. The pork could have been a bit more tender. The sauce was very good and flavorful.

The Food and the ambiance was amazing. Everything tasted so good, sauerkraut is a favorite of mine so I was happy to have it. I have not had it with pineapple but it was a nice touch that sweetened it without throwing off the taste. The cake was divine very moist and packed with flavor. The only thing that took away from the meal was the server was new and didn't show much attentiveness with long wait times between checking on the table.

I try to be a positive person, but other than the staff, there is not much great to say about this place. The food was sub par, par at best. The pretzel was not soft. We ordered sauerbraten with lots of sides. The only thing that was a standout was the coleslaw. The red cabbage was good. Sauerkraut and sauerbraten were not great. I've never had such a disappointing potato pancake (I love potato pancakes). Then someone wrote a review about the Apple Strudel being awesome... it was not. I'm pretty sure it was served with instant vanilla pudding and was missing a few apples. The location was pretty cool, down in the basement and the service was quite good, but if you're going expecting extraordinary German food, you might be a bit disappointed.

Profoundly flavorful food and a transporting atmosphere highlight this German restaurant on the southern end of the Central Avenue strip in downtown Hot Springs. Upon entering Steinhaus Keller, I was reminded of restaurants in Epcot Center. The inside dining room is finished out like the inner dining hall of a German castle with split level, private rooms, and a small stage having a painting of a castle on the wall behind it (Neuschwanstein, maybe?). Outdoor seating is a patio encircled by three-levels of walkways that makeup the shopping building on which the Steinhaus Keller sits on the bottom floor. From Shnitzels to Spaetzles, Bierocks to Saurkraut, this menu is absolutely packed with things to try. Bier cheese soup, mashed potatoes with a hint of horseradish, lamb lollipops, cabbage rolls, curry wurst, I could keep going. It's a foodie FEAST. If we lived here, I'd be back every week until we'd explored the menu thoroughly. What we did try was delicious. Bierocks is a meat-packed savory pastry that I'd had as an appetizer in a Dallas restaurant that's now closed. It came with a potato pancake that was crispy and chivy. She ordered Bier Cheese soup, brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, and a stuffed mushroom app from the specialties menu. Everything we ordered was exceptionally savory, really to the point that we were wishing we had ordered salad or something with a neutral flavor to mix into it. But, the food was astoundingly good. Leftovers lasted for more than one meal. I had a lot of beers at the microbrewery up the street just before coming here and was focused on hydrating. So, I didn't have the chance to sample the beer menu. Will save myself for this on future visits. Service was personal, attentive, and fun. Shout out to our server Brad who was knowledgeable and patient with all our questions about the menu, and had great recs from a local for other places to try in the area. Can't wait to go back and enjoy some more outstanding food at Steinhaus Keller!

My favorite place for German potato salad! It was a Saturday evening and we enjoyed a guitarist's Performance. The cabbage rolls I ordered took a while to arrive, so did my partner's burger and the food was decent. We'll return!

If I could only come back to Hot Springs so that I can keep visiting this place to try the amazing German fare they have!! Recommend getting a reservation because they don't really consider walk-ins! We came at our reserved time slot and were seated immediately. The server took some time to get to us though. I ordered the cheese schnitzel with veal and a side of the potato pancake and brussel sprouts. My friend ordered the chicken Dianne with a side of sauerkraut and the noodle spaetzle. I also ordered the lemon flavored Steigel. Everything was AMAZING! You see that food on the plate? I cleaned my plate so that they wouldn't even have to wash it! The cheese sauce was so so good and the veal was perfectly cooked and breaded and fried. The brussel sprouts were excellent. The potato pancake didn't have much flavor by itself but with the cheese sauce from my schnitzel, it was very very good! My friend's chicken Dianne was also good but the sauce wasn't as good as my cheese sauce. I'm not a fan of sauerkraut but the noodle spaetzle was my first time trying and it was delicious. Finally, I hate beer and cannot stand it but have finally found one that is light enough and flavored enough to not taste like beer! For all you beer-dislikers, please try the Steigel lemon. They also have other fruity flavors. Glad we made it here and will definitely eat again if I come back to Hot Springs!

We were excited to try this restaurant but unfortunately we left feeling disappointed. We waited almost 50 minutes for our meal. No appetizers or rolls were served while we were waiting. The waiter was also very cavalier about our wait. The taste was also unacceptable, everything was too salty and it was hard to enjoy the meal. The presentation was good but it could not make up for the over seasoned food and the long wait. This restaurant is totally not worth going to.

Dinner at Steinhaus Keller; our first time to eat here. We arrived without reservations and were seated right away. We started with an assortment of bread I ordered the cabbage roll appetizer and a black lager recommended by the waiter. For the main course my wife ordered curry wurst platter (bratwurst & bock wurst in a curry sauce) with pommes fritz (fries) and a salad with Roquefort dressing. I ordered the quad sausage wurst platter (bratwurst, bock wurst, Weiss wurst, and kielbasa) with pommes fritz and brussel sprouts in beer cheese. The recommended beer was outstanding. My wife's salad and the cabbage rolls came out together. My wife enjoyed her salad, especially the thick blue cheese dressing. The tomato sauce over the cabbage rolls was extremely salty. When I mentioned this to the waiter he immediately apologized and asked if I wanted them to remake the dish. I declined. Another member of the staff also apologized and said he would reduce the price. A few minutes later our waiter, Jay stopped by and apologized again stating he went to the kitchen and tasted the sauce and agreed it was very salty he again asked if I would like the dish remade with fresh sauce. I declined again and Jay said he would remove it from the bill. After a short while our main dishes came out. The fries on both plates were warm but not hot and certainly not crispy as pommes fritz should be. The sausages on both plates weren't hot either, a little surprising to both of us. My brussel sprouts were also only warm, not hot. The curry sauce on my wife's dish was grainy and a bit overwhelming with the taste of curry. Far stronger than the curry sauce we had many times in Germany. The ambience was nice (4 star), the service was great (5 star) I much appreciate the staff's handling of the problem I reported Unfortunately the food fell short (2 star). Overall a 3 star experience. We aren't likely to return.

Really really awesome food, I was only disappointed they didn't have spaghetti ice cream anymore I was looking forward to that the most. BRING IT BACK!!

The downstairs location reminded me of some of the German restaurants in Fredericksburg, Texas. Our waitress, Kat, was helpful and knowledgeable about the foods and the beers. The variety in the schnitzels offered made it difficult to choose. We ended up with a jäger schnitzel and a dunkelweizen schnitzel. Both were flavorful and tender. My husband enjoyed it so much, he went back the second night we were there. The food was on the salty side for my taste, so if you need lower sodium let them know.
