Stuttgarden Tavern

Party of 2x on a Wednesday at 630pm. Hardly anyone on the second floor (most were on the top floor...21 and older). Quick and friendly service. They have their own 'take' on German food (ie Brats on Hawaiin Buns). All the food was rated as excellent. House potato chips were some of the best in recent memory. Decor is naturally German themed and fun to look at. Certainly a place we will go back to when in town next time.

The service was great!!! The ladies that helped us were so nice!!! We went to the 2nd floor since they have 3 levels you can pick from. I tried the BLT it was one of the best ones I've had!!! Bacon was perfect and it had plenty of fresh avocado. My friend had the sliders and he also liked them. Definitely recommend to give them a try.

Good bar food with several German dishes thrown in. Plenty of brats to choose from and a great German beer selection. 3 floors to choose from, we sat on the 3rd floor overlooking the bay.

We went up on the deck on the third floor. We bought food and drinks. The food was very good and the portions are large. The online beer menu will not line up with what they really have because their inventory changes frequently. They print out a list of beer with a number next to each one. You order the beer by your number. It was bar service only at that hour on a weekday so we ordered at the bar. The bartender went downstairs to get our food and brought it back to us and he was very friendly. I would definitely recommend it, especially for the food.

Stuttgarden Tavern has nice views. You can watch parades from the balcony. The food is a bit overpriced. Service was OK

Excellent German food options and non-German too! Schnitzel, pretzel and bangers mash were very tasty! Beer selection is amazing, so many beers to choose from! Great views from Top deck, best views in Strand. Local beers and big selection of imported German beers. Prices very reasonable. friendly staff. Highly recommended!! Also dog friendly section outside on first floor, kid friendly on second floor, pool table and video games too.

Omg. This place was incredible! Three floors and the upper two were open. We went up to the third floor where we could see the water. A bit dark but they have plenty of seating. Great menu with lots of options. We decided on brats (I got the Gouda one and hubby got the brisket one) and we got them American style (pulled pork, mac n cheese) w/ fries. We also got a pretzel as well. Absolutely incredible food! Waitress was very personable and friendly even though she was the only one manning the bar and delivering our food. Would definitely come here again!

Absolutely loved it here!!! The drag show/bingo was so fun!! The host and the bartenders were so kind and attentive, and the owner was there as well. He was so kind and fun! I will definitely return with all my friends next month!!❤️❤️ if you’re looking for a good time and good food, come here!

We had a great time here! We were expecting a big crowd, with the day before being Fat Tuesday, but it was only moderately busy. This would be a great place for a party or to hang out on weekends. Great, friendly service (with a personality), great beer selection (important to me and my friends), and good bar food. I would come back here again in a heartbeat.

It's a good and bad thing when a restaurant is not busy during spring break. So needless to say I was very much like "uh oh" when I showed up with a party of 6 and sat down immediately on day 1 of spring break. Shoutout to the guy working the floor. This dude was spot on with everyone's order and never wrote down anything. And that is especially impressive dealing with a table with 6; let alone the whole restaurant. He was patient with receiving the orders, but quick with getting them in and getting our items out to us. The food was meh; average at best. I wish I could say that the food was great but it wasn't. Again, average. Nothing really stood out. Stuttgarden Tavern is more of what seems like it could be a great watering hole; but not a restaurant

Schnitzel was huge, so so on taste , crinkle fries were excellent, spicy chicken was great, beef stroganoff needed seasoning but it was plentiful, pretzel arrived cold but it was tasty, bratwurst was Not bratwurst but a long weird sausage, had to ask for more sauerkraut, bread was A Hawaiian roll !!! But tasted good and sweet

My wife is from Stuttgart and I thought it would be nice to bring her here since it is named Stuttgarden. I guess that's what should've been a red flag since it should be garten. We went on a Saturday night, so it was impossible to find street parking. We ended up parking at the paid lot across the street. The pork cracklins were probably the only good thing we had. It was a HUGE plate that would be enough to share for 3-4 adults. I had a bratwurst sampler with three original brats of Jagerwurst (mild), Smoked Gouda, and Hot Bratwurst. The server did not tell me which was which, but I assumed I could figure it out. I could tell the Smoked Gouda, but could not tell the difference with the other two. For $25, it was not worth it. To drink, I got a flight of beer, which was served in plastic disposable cups, like those you would see at a water fountain. My wife had the Jaeger pork schnitzel. There was hardly any schnitzel and a lot of onions. Also not really worth it for $16. Being a Saturday night, there was a live band playing outside, and it wasn't too loud. If I remember correctly, they were a Beatles cover band.

The trivia on Tuesday's is fun but the staff is terrible. Our waiter never returned to our table, we were out of drinks for a while, one of our party approached him on the way to the restroom while he was at another table. He told him he needed a beer when he got a chance. He came to our table and scolded our friend for interrupting him while he was busy. Our friend apologized and the server took his order. This guy needs some manners. If the service is slow and bad, it's not our fault, ask for better staffing or quit if you dont like your job but don't ever scold a customer just because you're neglecting the table and your job.

Place was a 10/10 we had our dog and gave her water and the customer l service was really good vary friendly

I'm not used to being cussed at by anyone let alone a bartender. When I went to ask for a drink, an Old Fashioned, he asked me for what whiskey I wanted. I told him I wasn't sure, but nothing too high end because I didn't want to pay $80 for one. He said, "We don't have any thing that expensive, just pick a fuc*ing whiskey." Honestly, I was a little surprised, and normally I would have said something, but for some reason I held my tongue. The waitress at the bar looked as surprised as I was, and couldn't get away fast enough. Regardless, that's my last visit to this place. Mr. Josh S, the bartender, showed me I could spend my money somewhere else. Thanks for that.

My friends and I stopped in here on a Saturday night as we were bar hopping down the Strand. I've had this place bookmarked for awhile and was excited to finally get a chance to check them out. This place is pretty massive being three stories with a bar on every floor. Every floor doesn't carry the same products so keep that in mind. We made a total of two stops in here that day as we were crawling. The first stop was for drinks and I came all the way up to the third floor to get some water views. There are alot of stairs with one elevator for those needing it. At the bar on the third floor I watched as the bartender serving what looked like regulars who clearly came in after me. He acknowledged I was there, but just kept saying he will be right with me. This went on for awhile and some of my party wanted to say something, but I patiently waited as I really wanted to have a drink on the deck and relax. We did come in later to eat and apparently there were only two servers for that entire second floor. Our food took awhile to come out but the server was nice and communicative. The food was decent, nothing to write home about. Also, there are only bathrooms on the second floor. Three floors of bars but one floor with bathroom. Weird. Just from first impressions, I don't see myself wanting to come back here. There are way too many options on the island for subpar service like I received.

Great find for a rooftop bar while visiting Galveston!! We stopped in the 3rd floor rooftop bar, and it had amazing views of the water, where the cruise ships leave from Galveston. The sea breeze was awesome. We had a couple of cocktails and grabbed a bite to eat. My husband had Cajun spice wings, and I tried a bratwurst. It was very good and the bun was soft and fresh. The homemade potato chips were great, plenty to share. Carson, took great care of us. Great service and cool vibe, with a DJ on Friday night. Nice local hangout. There is plenty of parking on the street.

I love the Stuttgarden punch, which is $9 for a big cup. I'm also a fan of the chicken tender/fries and mozz. I always opt for the rooftop seating. The service is always great!

Order the Prime Rib French Dip, it is the best French dip I've ever had...hands down, no competition! Excellent craft beer selection of 70+ beers. Really cool rooftop with a harbor view. Service is great, I think our waitress was Landry and she was so sweet. We will be coming back every trip from now on!

Tourist Trap! Beautiful view from the 3rd floor. Nice server. Husband had the BLT with the Texas toast it was delicious. The fries not crispy. The ranch dressing was delicious. I ordered the Cesar salad the dressing was delicious, the croutons soft not crispy. I added salmon and it was inedible it was like a rock and had a very fishy taste. I don't recommend this restaurant for food.

So our server Mike made our visit. Drinks were so sugary but Mike was so sweet. We can see past the broken elevator button and the bathroom's strong smell bc the view from the third floor balcony was great. Thanks mike!

June 25, 2022 Been here several times since it relocated not sure why I've never reviewed it before tonight but anyway, Me and a friend came tonight for a Mardi Gras meeting and had dinner after. This location is 3 floors, I've never been here when the first floor is open only the 2nd and top deck. We had a meeting and dinner on floor 2 and ate on the small deck they have on that level that faces the Strand. We ordered from the bar, Morgan T was our bartender (she was the only barkeep) the drinks were ok, key lime martini was not "key lime" don't bother, the Stuttgarden punch was tasty, but too sweet tasted no alcohol at all (both drinks $11 each) We ordered food from the bar as well, we got cheese sticks and a "hot" bratwurst sandwich w/onion rings. Cheese sticks came out quick and were huge; served with ranch. Huh? Marinara, people this isn't chicken wings?! They tasted good though. Huge. We waited 30 minutes for sausage, had to go ask Morgan about it... Somehow, she missed the entree verbiage and only entered the appetizer; we stood there and watched her enter it Soo...??? (they forgot it in the kitchen no doubt) Bratwurst was delicious, served with a side of...wait for it...ranch and spicy mustard that had horseradish in it. The brat wasn't "hot" as described . Served on toasted Hawaiian roll buns that were fresh and tasty but the onion rings were very thick. Too thick, I could hardly taste the onion. Even when this place was Fuddruckers, I didn't frequent it much, Stuttgarden is just the same. Great selection of craft beers, tasty sausage and you can bring dogs, maybe that's what keeps them open?! Not enough for me to go back unless invited.

Portions are huge. The staff was busy but our blonde bartender was very sweet and attentive. They have many beers to try on tap. They also serve food really late.

This was actually number three on our tour. Unfortunately, number two, Axecade, does not have a yelp. Anyhoo, this tavern has three floors, complete with an open air patio. They serve local IPAs, live music, and I believe karaoke. We sampled their brisket brat and four of the local favorite beers. I'm not a big beer drinker, but even I knew those were some tasty brews. And that brisket sausage was delicious

Service was good our waitress was really sweet. food was not great at all not worth the money.

We were here on a Wednesday middle of the day. I bet this place can be busy as they are right across where the cruise ships load. Great bar, lots of great beers and had a super pretzel with a bacon quest dip. Friendly staff, lots of beer selections, historical and a old Munro level building. Will be back for beer and pretzels. Also a great view of the Battleship Texas in dry dock for repair.

Amazing service strong drinks beautiful people no complaints no waits this place was amazing definitely coming back

A lot of European origin foods, food and service was excellent. Place looks party like, pleasant, and a great place to have a good time.

We have been seeing this place and looking forward to eating there for quite some time. We finally had the opportunity yesterday. We love German food and beer, so 7 of us went to eat there for lunch. It wasn't busy at all and we had high hopes, but the place had an odd smell as soon as we walked in and everything was a bit sticky. Our server was nice, however; didn't make the experience better. We asked some questions about the menu and her answer was "I don't know" way too many times. We had to repeat ourselves a lot and we had to ask her repeat herself many times as well. The music was a little too loud, but even with that it seemed like she was really struggling each time she came to the table. She got some of our order wrong and then seemed annoyed when we asked her to fix it. The whole experience was pretty disappointing and somewhat frustrating. Our appetizers were good, especially the cheese that came with the pretzel, but the rest of our food was not very good and we will not be back.

Pretty much the worst "copied German Ambiente" bar I ever seen/visited. The best part: They have a good variety on beers. The food: Less than decent, especially if they claim to serve authentic German brats and more. Sorry, I am a German chef (and might be more critically). You can buy better German brats and Sauerkraut at Aldi :). Staff: certainly nice people serving, especially young ladies. Why they have to wear lingerie for work is absolutely cryptically to me. No shame on your bodies ladies, but the "outfits" you are apparently required to wear, look cheap and sloppy. I do understand, servers have to make lots of tips, to actually earn $ for their work. Do you know, this bar pays only $2 hourly to their servers?!

Not sure why the review is low, but we had a great experience here! We were looking for a place to grab a drink after taking in some shopping. We found this Tavern! Three stories high, with balconies/patios to have a drink, socialize or take in the day! Plenty of seating on the top floor to enjoy the breeze while watching the boats come in. You have a perfect view of the Fisherman's Wharf below and beyond that. It's a beautiful view from the third floor from both sides. The second floor also had plenty of space inside and out. We liked that their menu (beer, mixed drinks and food) was on the napkin holder for easy access. They also have their beer on a flat screen display at the bar. The many barrels of beer making equipment around the place give it a real feel for being in a beer filled building. We tried the Waterwell and Galveston Bay Blueberry Blonde. We also had a couple of Micheladas. All of the drinks were good. We also had the pulled pork waffle fries, those were perfect! The bartenders were attentive and friendly! We asked to watch something specific and the bartender quickly accommodated. The bathrooms were clean and the restaurant was too. We would definitely stop here again to take in a game and have a drink or two.

Great view at the top! Great staff! Close to the Port. Stop in to have a beverage and a snack before the cruise.

We come to Stutt often, when in Galveston, because of the drink specials, service is always good and we love the Appetizers! We prefer to sit on the 3rd Floor to look at the water but the first floor has a good patio that looks onto the Strand. I would recommend the Pretzel appetizer because the cheese sauce is Amazing! We also love the Sauerkraut Balls with mustard. So plan to stop here on your next trip.

Enjoyed food, service and signature margarita. Came to Galveston for Shrimp Fest. So much fun and the Tavern is centrally located to everything.

This place is in a great location with three floors. I read some of the reviews while waiting and we had the same problems. Very short staff, which isn't our waiters fault. If you don't have patience, avoid this place. We walked in during lunch time and their wasn't anyone there to greet us. After waiting for a few minutes, we were told that we could sit on the first or 2nd floor but not the 3rd. We started headed up to the 2nd floor and another person told us not to go up stairs and after repeating what we were just told, she said that 2 large tables were just seated and it's too busy upstairs. This is why having a hostess is important at a restaurant. We sat outside under an umbrella. It was such a nice day with clear skies. Our waitress was doing her best but the service was slow. I honestly would blame the kitchen and the bus boy that was barely doing anything useful. Hamburger came out with just the meat and bun. What happened to all the toppings that normally comes with a burger? Seriously? Kids chicken tenders- normal, no complaints. Avocado BLT- it was ok. It needed something. The fries were so overly greasy. I would skip those. Asked the bus boy for ketchup. Never came back. (Useless) When our waitress came I had to request it from her. Too our waitress, thank you for doing your best in this kind of situation. Your son who stopped by was adorable.

I Think People Initially Set Out To Travel So That We Can "See" New Things. In The End, For Us, What We Remember The Most, Is The People We Met Along The Way. While In Galveston, Texas, We Stepped Into Stuttgarden Tavern @stuttgardentavern For Some Lunch. Bratwurst And Beer. Well, Lemon Water For Me , But The Family Seemed Very Pleased With Their Stouts. We Were Graced With Jillian @that_glover_luck As Our Server. She Was So Much Fun, Pleasant, And Just A Great Personality. We All Wanted To Take Her Along With Us For The Rest Of The Day. Everyone Ordered Another Round Just To Be In Her Company For Just A Few More Minutes. I Was A Waiter Or Bartender For 15 Years. I Always Prided Myself On My Service. I Had This Thing Were I Would Tell My Customers, "I Can't Guarantee That The Food Would Come Out Right, But I Can Promise You An Experience That You Won't Forget!" If You Sat In My Section, I Just Loved You And Wanted To Treat You Like A Family Member In My House. Most Of Our Clients Become Our Friends. I Believe It's Because They Know That We Genuinely Care About Them And Will Provide The Best Service We Can Offer. And When You Meet People That Are Like Minded, That Can Make You Feel At Home, Naturally, Well, It Makes The World A Better Place And The Journey Memorable. Glad To Have Run Across You. If You Ever Come Out West, We'd Love To Host You. -Rebekah And Andy

Beer was cold and staff was friendly but food was terrible. Meat on my french dip tasted gamey and possibly spoiled. Worst excuse for german potato salad ever. My friend's sausage pate was dry and flavorless. My daughter's chicken fried chicken was gray and undercooked. Bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp appetizer was overcooked and served with a side of jalapenos that should have been inside the stuffed shrimp. I may have a drink here in the future but my god the food is just gross. Lesson learned.

Here is another instance where I gotta be a bit negative about a place I've had a couple of decent experiences with in the past. I've been going to Stuttgarden Tavern every now and then since it was FuddRucker's becuause my daughter loves their pork schnitzel and they do a pretty good reuben sandwich. On my last visit my daughter ordered her usual, which we typically share, but I wanted to try something else. Since Stuttgarden Tavern pretends to be an authentic German restaurant, I thought I'd try their bratwurst. I saw they had a few different types and I almost decided on one until I noticed that the menu indicated that they were served on hawaiian rolls.....seriously..... When the server came by, I asked if the brats were only served on hawaiian rolls or was there an alternative and he said that was the only choice. I ordered the french dip instead. As I waited for my french dip sandwich to arrive, I saw other people start recieving their food and most of them had ordered brats and what I saw was madness...... The brats were served on literal hawaiian dinner rolls, taken from the package but not separated with their tops slit to make a bun. This is the laziest, most unappetizing idiocy I have seen in quite some time. Having spent a couple of years in Germany, I ate a bratwurst or two and you know what they weren't served on? You guessed it; hawaiian dinner rolls. Also, the brats themselves lookes like they were blackened on a grill or something which also isn't correct. All this can be yours for something like $13+ each.....EACH! Seriously, if you are going to present your food as German and charge a premium, maybe don't let your seven year-old make the food..... So I there I sat, waiting for my french dip sandwhich thinking about how angry I would have been had I spent 13 or fourteen dollars on a piece of burnt looking sausage on three cheap hawaiian dinner rolls. Imagine my surprise when my french dip finally arrived.........served on three still connected hawaiian dinner rolls sliced along the top to make a bun.....for $13......... The sheer stupidity of this is staggering. Whomever decided that this was the way to make food, frankly, has no business around food and should be embarassed to serve literal garbage such as this. Of course I sent it back and told the manager that I would not eat that sandwhich nor anything else and sat and waited for my daughter to eat her schnitzel. Stuttgarden Tavern is yet another of the businesses on Galveston Island who cater primarily to tourists. They all know that quality is of no concern as those visiting are unlikely to be repeat business in any case so they sell nonsense at a premium, completely forgetting about those of us who are in the area year round and could help them get through the off-season if they just put a little effort in. Oh yeah, the part that annoys me the most about Stuttgarden Tavern in addition to my visit today and some issues on past visits I haven't mentioned is that it's a three floor establishment and the 1st floor is NEVER OPEN. You have to climb stairs 100% of the time. The 1st floor seemed to work just fine when it was Fuddrucker's, but not now apparently. I never thought I'd say that I miss Fuddrucker's, but here we are...... In summary, Stuttgarden Tavern is a place that serves German food for people who have never had German food. They have a wide selection of beers that they always seem to be out of when I try to order something other than domestic even though their menu shows some actual German beers. There are better options, though few as most other places share the approach of serving garbage to tourists rather than taking pride in their food. I wonder what the next owners will put in there when Stuttgarden closes down......

The reviews definitely don't do this place justice--we came for lunch and had a GREAT experience! The food came out quickly, the service was awesome, and the environment was spacious and fun! I got the Ze D-man, and it was great! They put the brat--loaded with toppings by the way--on three connected and split rolls (they looked like King's Hawaiian, which was really dope!). The flavors were so great, and the brat had a great bite and chew! We also grabbed the Irish nachos and demolished them in about five seconds--great toppings, crispy fries, great portion! A few others in our party got bangers and mash and the schnitzel, and there were mixed reviews about the bangers and mash (I think the cabbage was the point of contention), but I remember trying it and loving all of it honestly. I think this is definitely a spot anyone looking to grab some good, non-beachy, bar/stick-to-your-ribs food should come to. I know I'll be back if I ever get back to Galveston!

Good brats, good schnitzel, great service. The warm potato salad is tasty, better than the cold. (Could maybe use a little more sauerkraut with the brats, but, not a dealbreaker.)

We had the Pretzel, cheeseburger, and Spicy Chicken Sandwich. They were all fantastic. The service was spectacular. Dozens of different brews on tap. We will be back!

The bar tender (2nd floor) was rude and an absolute racist. I don't drink, so I nicely asked an honest-to-goodness question from the bar tender (white, with mustache, short hair) - what he'd recommend for a draft beer. His answer: "I am not playing that game today (then points to the menu). Everything's properly labeled there." (To that effect). Then the bar tender turned around and walked away from me. I was stunned realizing how racism is so real in the US! Our server (Donell) came to my rescue right on time! He introduced himself as our server. He was the bar tender's exact opposite - he was friendly, helpful and warm. He gave me samples of the kind of beer I may like. He did a great job finding the perfect beer that brought me back home! Donell was the reason we stayed in that bar. While the bar tender's racist behavior may drive away customers, Donell's excellent customer service gives this bar good business. (This rating is solely based on the 2nd floor bar tender's poor customer service.)

My wife and I along with her daughter, her daughter's boyfriend and their three children visited this establishment. They were quite busy at 11:30 am and our drink orders were not taken until 10 minutes had elapsed. When we received our drinks, our waitress was assisted by her son who could not have been over 10 years old. He did a wonderful job pouring from an ice laden pitcher and handing out straws. Some members of our party enjoyed playing pool and throwing darts until our food arrived. Our food came out within 15 minutes. The Irish Nachos were fantastic! I could have finished them off by myself but I used a little restraint and enjoyed the Fried Pickles and freshly baked German style pretzel as well. An excellent light lunch and then we were off to explore The Strand!

Smelled like rust. Walked inside and there was no host to assist with finding seating. Walked around to try to find a table for five minutes and had no assistance from the bar man as he stared at us like this O_O Didn't get a chance to try their food but based off the smell and the grime it would have been gross.

Great appetizer, just had the giant pretzel with cheese and a delicious stout. Waitress was good. The view from the 3rd floor rooftop patio was beautiful.

My husband and I love going to Stuttgarden and totally recommend it! They have great food and a large selection of drinks. It is a little pricey in my opinion but you also pay for the atmosphere. There are several floors including a rooftop dining/bar area. They have games and the restrooms are clean. I definitely recommend you grab a seat outside with a view of the ships coming into the bay and grab a sausage!

Hands down worst service on the island.they need to hire a corporate trainer coz the staff has no clue what they are doing.

I came here for dinner with a couple of friends who had a craving for burgers. Myself, I really wanted something fried, so I almost went with the chicken tenders. Basic as hell, I know. But at the last minute I changed my mind and went with the Philly cheesesteak and french fries. Cheesesteak was huge, filled with steak and smothered in cheese. I wish I could've had a mix of chicken and steak, but they didn't allow it. This bar has a bunch of weird rules that don't make any sense. Anyway the cheesesteak was good. The fries were just okay, but they satisfied my craving for something cooked in hot oil. I ordered a Blue Moon to wash it all down with. There's no table service here. You have to order your food first, and then sit down. They'll bring the food to you, but that's about it. We had to grab our own waters and refills. The bar has a couple of different floors. You can't take alcohol between the floors, which is ridiculous. But you can take food between them. There's parking on Strand street. It may be tough to find a spot close to the bar on a busy weekend night, so be prepared to walk a little bit. I know they do trivia here once a week as well. Decent local bar that I'm sure I'll come back to.

Who knew you could find such good German food in Galveston? This is a big bar with lots of seating and a dog-friendly patio. My friend and I were blessed to be next to well-behaved yellow labs that requested pets before settling down. We ordered the pretzel as our appetizer and it really hit the spot. The gouda fondue was unique and delicious. I ordered the bangers and mash with German potato salad, and I was very impressed. You can't go wrong with a good bratwurst, and the potato salad was well seasoned and tasty. My friend had a bratwurst topped hangover style with onion rings and they were some of the best onion rings we'd ever had. The portions are huge, so either come very hungry or plan to not finish. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly. This is a great place for those who are a bit burnt out on shrimp and crab and want a bit more hearty food. Definitely keep this place in mind!

We LOVE Stuttgarden and have been frequenting this place for years--since they were the tiny area down on the strand!! My teenagers love coming a couple times a year primarily for their Cheese Sticks!! They are DELICIOUS! We've had the grilled chicken sandwich, buffalo chicken sandwich, burgers, wings, and salads, and honestly, we've never left unsatisfied!! Their fries are good and their waffle fries are great! I also like their onion rings! My husband and I really like their Bloody Marys!!

On the way home, we needed a spot to stop where the family could sit outside and our dog was welcome. This place fit the bill! The young lady working was very nice and gave us a great recommendation for the cheese sticks. They were delicious! The fish tacos were fresh and delicious. The sliders, BLT and fries were great! The brisked brat was ok...it could have been a little better but it was good. The patio was comfortable and we were well spaced from the other family there. Overall, it was a good experience and we will be back!

We enjoyed our visit here with family. It was our first time. They were following all the COVID precautions so the rooftop bar was already full, but we did get a table on the 2nd floor balcony. The shrimp kisses, fresh homemade pork rinds and key lime martini were my standouts! We'll love to return another time. Other than not having silverware when our food arrived and the server we asked for some forgetting to bring it so my husband had to get up and go find some himself, the service was good. We weren't in a hurry, if we had been, the service was not up to meeting that need. But the food and drinks....yum!

Dive bar. But it's June in Galveston and I have to traipse up and down the strand so it's almost oasis like...It has AC and beer and smelly urinals. All of the food is frozen to fried. Service is good.

I had the Wednesday special of Chicken Fried Steak. It was very good. Hubby had the shave ribeye french dip and fries. The French dip sand itself , while good lacked any substantial meat. He was pretty disappointed. The fries are homemade and very good. The service on the other hand was spotty at best. Our server brought our dishes and neglected to bring us or offer condiments or even forks to eat with. We requested them and ended up with four forks between two of us, ketchup and then napkins as an afterthought. The staff seems more preoccupied with visiting with each other and friends than taking care of the line two patrons. I think we will try elsewhere from here on out. I'm really sorry we had to use the restroom before we left. I had to update my review. The bathrooms were really dirty. I know covid gas business owners desperate to find help. There seemed to be plenty. They just weren't doing much actual work and the work they were doing was inadequate.

Just left this place and moved on to another one right down the street called shark shack. We left because we walked in and were greeted by three women sitting at the bar that told us to sit wherever we wanted. We sat and waited, and waited, and waited listening to these women laugh and have a good time while no one came and greeted us at all. We stayed about ten minutes then left not a single other person in the restaurant. I can see why. With no service how do they expect people to come back. We usually stop here everytime we come to Galveston and just agreed that we will never be back.

My wife and I are on a trip by ourselves for the first time in years and decided to come to Galveston. We drove past this establishment at night and wanted to come back and try it out for lunch. We weren't disappointed. Good and attentive service. Love the variety on the menu. I had a brisket bratwurst plain Jane and side salad , really good. The homemade fried pickles were a combination of sweet and sour , very yummy. My wife had the spicy chicken sandwich and enjoyed as well. The ambience is really cool and would love to sit on the rooftop bar at night. Come check this place out.

We ordered the Irish nachos & spicy bratwurst on a bun + onion rings. The portions were HUGE & we had to bring home leftovers. Nachos were rich & heavy with waffle fries, minced meat, and American cheese. Bratwurst was juicy & fresh. Onion rings were massive. Food was good. It's a great value place with its large portions relative to what normal Galveston restaurants give you. Service was just OK; we had to flag down our waitress & be more assertive as usual to catch their attention. There's 3 floors here so don't stop to dine at the 1st floor. 2nd floor is the main attraction w/ its open windows & spacious tables. Would come again for the big portions & good food.

Very disappointing!!! Six of us walked in. We were greeted with, "We would get up, but we don't want to." We were then told we could sit on the first floor or third floor. We started up the stairs only to be yelled at not to go up there. We were very confused so immediately came down the stairs and found a table on the first floor. When the server came to the table, we let her know that we were teachers and would need separate checks to get reimbursed from our district. She said we don't do that. At least she tried to ask someone else if they could do that and again we were rejected. We each had $59 to spend but I guess our money was not good enough for them. I really wanted to enjoy the German food experience, but I will NEVER try this place again. Horrible. And frankly just embarrassing for the food service industry.
