Augustiner Bräustuben was unfortunately one of the biggest disappointments of our Munich trip. I really wanted to love this place given its reputation, but the experience fell far short. We ordered the pork knuckle, pretzel with beer cheese, and beer. The pork knuckle arrived cold and lacked flavor, while the pretzel didn't seem particularly fresh either. The beer pour was especially disappointing--the amount of foam/head was ridiculous, and for a place associated with such a famous brewery, I expected a much better pour. The photos really speak for themselves. Service was the biggest issue. We repeatedly tried to get someone's attention to place our order, but the servers seemed to avoid eye contact and kept waiting for someone else to help us. Even getting the check was a struggle--we eventually had to get up and go to a counter ourselves. It felt like the staff had little interest in actually serving the customers. The atmosphere itself has the traditional Bavarian beer hall feel, but unfortunately, the poor food, disappointing beer pour, and especially the terrible service completely overshadowed it. I really wanted to like this place, but based on our experience, there are much better beer halls and beer gardens in Munich. read more

My wife and I were on a five day trip to Munich and my friend recommended this place, I am glad he did! I ordered a beer and the steak and spaetzle dinner. Very good! Our servers were super cool and the place was like a traditional beer hall, I loved it. Try it out if you are okay with about a fifteen minute walk from the train station. read more

The food was so delicious that way there are multiple nights. Ambience is nice and cozy. The staff is great and welcoming. The location is a little off the beaten path which made it seem more local and less touring. The prices are also fair read more

Enjoyable beer, satisfying food, and a fun atmosphere. Despite being so busy and the sit yourself wherever system, service works pretty well. Servers are professional and on top of things. I enjoyed the soup, the sausages, the pickled cabbage, and the meat trio combo. The pork knuckle was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The chicken and the pork roast were juicy. The gravy is not too salty. Not the most balanced meal, but all components were good. Worth a visit. read more

This was disappointing. The beer was good, maybe a 4 star rating. The food was a 2-3. We had the meat plate that was supposed to have a pork knuckle. However it had just a small amount of meat from a pork knuckle. The pretzel was dry and cold. The cheese spread was old tasting. The menu was in German but they had an English menu if you accessed the QR code. The online menu only had a small list of items. We saw people around us that had other things that were not on the online menu. Inside the place looked like a standard beer hall. Nothing special and no hint of the history of the place. After getting a taxi to the restaurant it was disappointing. read more

For the real Bavarian food and beer experience, this place is hard to top. The portions are large and the execution is text book. I came here on the recommendation of a Munich local and was not disappointed! I started with the special soup that had a layered dumpling thingy, it was delicious! The broth was tasty and didn't compete with space in my stomach for beer! The beer was brewery fresh and very easy to acquire with the fast service, nobody goes thirsty here! For dinner I got the sausage platter that was a nice sampler of different flavors. They were served atop a delicious warm sour kraut with bacon that was awesome! We didn't stop there as we had both kaisershmarm AND apple strudel for desert. Both were awesome but the strudel was next level! Just go here, you won't be disappointed! read more

Came here for lunch and the guy at the door was very welcoming and we asked if we could sit outside? He said yes and directed us to a table that just got done. He had let someone else know it needed to be cleaned off and handed us menu. The guy at first cleans some things off and then stops. He doesn't touch it anymore and attends to other people and then stayed inside by the bar laughing at us. We don't understand why? We have never been rude and was very nice. I love Germany, my great grandfather is from here. I know how it can be. I know people hate us Americans right now, I get it but The funny thing is, my friend isn't an American and we were very nice and he stood there with another guy and laughed. We got the point and left and went somewhere else. But that's wild. I was told they do it to their own people too. read more

One of the only places allowed to brew beer in the City of Munich. We rolled in at 5 ish, just after the clock show in the time square. Sat downstairs in a systematic well oiled seating organization. Birthday dinner. Read on the interweb this was the place to come for pork knuckles- so here we go. The hubs was ready to eat, but the sampler platter for 2 had a little bit of everything so how could we not?? We did It was huge and amazing Schnitzel-- pork knuckles -- roasted pork-- sauerkraut -- tiny deliciousness sausages-- potato dumplings (sadly no potato pancakes exist in Munich) Goes great with beer Service amazing Even got a birthday mug :-) Sadly too full for dessert read more

We had a wonderful server with such a fun spirit. He made jokes about our order (my husband ordered a "baby beer" and I ordered a "German beer") and honestly it was exactly what we needed on a cold day. The food didn't come out at the same time which worked out for us since we shared anyway but it's worth mentioning. The schnitzel took a while but it was the freshest one we had our entire trip. The spatzel was just okay; I would skip it. The roast pork was tender and the gravy a perfect salty goodness. We were there fairly early so it was easy to find seating and have enough space to ourselves read more

Came here for lunch with a big group. The service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. Food reviews below: Munich Liver Dumpling Soup: 0/5 I did not like the idea or flavor of this soup at all... Sausage Plate: 5/5 Filling and delicious! Some of the sausage tasted like a maple breakfast sausage. Grandma's Rohrnudel: 100/5 I was so shocked how good this was! The vanilla sauce that comes on the side to pour over the bread made it so delicious. If you don't order this, you're missing out!! read more

Very good! Tasty and affordable beer and radler up to 1L size. We were seated in the old lagering area below the building that as very atmospheric, just keep in mind no cell service.

As an American, who lives in Munich and Key West, this is one of my favorite places. They have the best beer prices in the city. The food is solid. Just like driving in Germany you have to know the rules. If you don't play by the rules, you may not enjoy it. I see people whining about not having an English menu, if you have a cell phone, you could probably see the translation of the German menu. Don't be whiny; learn the rules and enjoy your time here. Here's your tipping tip. If your bill is €32 give the guy 35. It's that easy. read more

Came here because I was starving and I had no idea how beer halls worked but the staff were friendly and accommodating! Started off with a beer and then got the mixed Bavarian meat specialty for around €18-19. The meats were very tasty with the beer sauce and garnish. The beer was pretty good too to compliment the meats. It's a pretty beer hall that was decorated for the winter holidays. It's an enjoyable vibe and would recommend coming here if you're in the area! read more

Came here during Oktoberfest without a reservation and I am glad we got seated. There are 3 floors, the top floor is small with rooftop seating. Staff was friendly. The food was good (though in my opinion Bavarian food in general is a little bland) but I don't hold it against them since it is traditional. read more

The food was better than other places we tried around Munich. I had the German pork knuckle (Schweinshaxe) and I had pretty good size with gravy and potato dumpling. To wash it down the dunkel(dark lager) and that was one of the best I had in Germany and Austria. I made reservations weeks in advance and it was kinda of self seating. The guy in the front just said table 8 and you count the table and find your reservation printed and on the table. The only issue is that if the previous party decides to sit awhile longer you have to wait and the server will kind of nudge them along. Service was fairly quick. Side note if you speak English they say "the tip is not included" but tipping in most of Europe is not practiced. Knowing that Americans tip. Overall, was a pleasant evening on the first night out in Munich. read more

Very disappointed to say the least. We came here with a group of friends excited to have our last meal in Munich. We weee all looking forward to it. Sat on the teresse that was nice perfect weather. Service was very slow and our waiter wasn't very attentive. Our meals came at 4 different times. Very weird. The first one came out at least 20 mins before the second one and the last meal came about 40 minutes after the first one. Half way through someone on our party ordered fires which never came. They were also out of the dark beer which was weird. All in all not we expected from what we had heard about this place. read more

Must visit location while in Munich. Doesn't get better! Be sure to dine outside if the weather allows.

We loved the alfresco dinner. Food was amazing and the experience truly Bavarian. My hubby have roast pork and cracklings and potatoes with dark gravy. My son had a burger and said it was good! I had the fish and chips and they were delicious. read more

Hmmm I like being a customer and not someone that is treated like it's a privilege for you to be their. I would suggest to everyone to avoid these tourist spots and find the really good places on the side streets. I've found that places like this and the hofbrauhous, have waiters with a FU attitudes toward the customers and they know they don't need your business. Pretty sad. read more

The food here is amazing! Of course the service is slow but that is standard in this area.

Great food. HUGE portions and fantastic service. The ambience is warm and inviting. I would definitely recommend this place.

Venture a mile out from the city centre for this beer hall filled with locals hanging out, celebrating birthdays, and having a great time. We got several beers, pretzels, spaetzle, schnitzel, pork knuckle and sauerkraut. The portions are huge and delicious. The pork knuckle was very tender and juicy, and the spaetzle (cheese noodle dish) is topped with fried onions and filled with the most delicious small but thick spiral noodles - I highly recommend sharing with the table. Come early to find a spot! It fills up quick for great reason. read more

I was staying at the nearby Hampton Inn and found this place on Yelp. It was open until midnight on a Sunday so seemed a good bet for a later dinner. I went there the long way by S-bahn, but found the quick return by tram later. Lively interior,with long wood tables and bench seating. The dark Dunkel beer is very good. Paired it with leberknoedelsupp and the fried chicken. Not KFC but a pair of fried chicken schnitzels with potato salad onthe side. Very filling meal. 21.35 before tip. read more

For our first night in Munich, this place came highly recommended and was walking distance from our hotel. By law, we must try a local favorite dish, and we shared a half-size Schweinshax'n with some amazing Augustiner brews! The Schweinshax'n was a truly perfect introduction to traditional German food. The pork knuckle was hot, tender, and juicy roasted pork on the inside, and super crispy on the outside with a crunch similar to pork chicharrones. Complimented by the perfect brown gravy and potatoes, this was a very satisfying, hearty meal made to perfectly compliment their delicious beers brewed in a massive brewery (and I mean MASSIVE) next to the restaurant. The inside bar area was the only thing open at the time we got there, but the vibe was friendly, fun, and welcoming. The bar area was roomy and comfortable. Once we were seated, it took no time at all to get our beer orders in and get menus. The kitchen closed at 10 pm on a weeknight, so plan accordingly if you plan to eat... and why wouldn't you? I would agree that this is one of those places away from the normal touristy areas that you really should visit while you're in Munich. We're glad we did! read more

We were staying at a nearby hotel that featured a lot of Augustiner beer so we decided to try one of the restaurants for dinner! I will say the food was great, it was more so our service experience that made it a less than stellar expereince. We arrived around 7:30/8 or so for a later dinner, and we were seated immediately by a wait staff member. He did not end up being our section's server, which was disappointing. Ours checked in very infrequently and we noticed that he was checking in on every other table around us, but somehow skipping us/not looking at us/very little acknowledgement. I realize that service in Europe is different, but the fact that he'd check in on other tables surrounding us (and not us) was odd. It took us 15 minutes to order beer, and then another 40+ minutes to get a food order in. Paying after our meal was also another ordeal. I think our total time at the restaurant was nearly 3 hours, most of which was spent waiting. We were trying so hard to make eye contact or catch him and it was nearly impossible! Our food was very good despite the wait! We split goulash (soup) and pork chops with a mushroom sauce and spaetzle. Both were excellent. I loved the mushroom sauce and spaetzle. The pork did have a piece that seemed a little under cooked (or maybe just pinker than I prefer) but otherwise had good flavor. The goulash was good too, especially with the bread dipped in it. Had the waits not been so long we would have thought about trying dessert or a second beer! However, given the time and the wait, we didn't want to chance it. Hoping we just had an off night and this isn't the norm! read more

Was told by our hotel that this place was authentic German food and a good time later at night. We arrived 10pm for a late dinner since we spent the day at OctoberFest and had some down time at our hotel. The food was very good, service fast and then about 10:30 it turned into a multi cultural party song dance club. American sing along songs like Sweet Caroline to Don't stop Believing to YMCA and more while also playing party songs from Germany and other European countries. Everyone was dancing on the tables and singing along. (Only about 20% of the crowd was American) Highly recommend the food and the party atmosphere. Oh, all ages had a good time. My wife and I are both over 50 and caught the fun bug with the 20 something's. read more

Visited on a Sunday afternoon, Pork knuckle was delicious, and would recommend. The outdoors seating area was clean. Only negative thing I had was being rudely rushed to order our food and while on our double date, I was incorrectly racially referred to as a "Chinese man" when my fiancé was paying. Being rush to order food is fine, as I understand the workload that waiters have to handle as this restaurant attracts many tourists. But being racist or racially profiling a guest is unacceptable. I regrettably will never return to this establishment after being disrespected in such manner, and I hope the employees will treat their current and future guests with respect and dignity. read more

First dinner in Munich- was a little intimidating if you don't speak German or know to make a reservation. Busy and bustling, lots of large tables with rich food. I don't know there was a downstairs as we wandered to the upper room past the open concept hot kitchen with their reknown pork knuckles piled up like Peking duck in Chinatown! I digress... so a few waiters pointed to the back with some grunting when we said we had no reservations. Our waiter was Dominik who was very kind and patient with us. He manned at least 10 tables by himself and always checking on folks and so hardworking. My friend had roasted pork ( just had the knuckle the night before elsewhere) which came with a lovely cabbage slaw salad with no mayo and was light and refreshing seemingly there to cut the heaviness of the rest of the dish. Pork was tender and gravy flavorful. I had an upset stomach from the day before so enjoyed my pretzel and beef broth with a huge meatball in it. Felt like a great first introduction to German fare. read more

Unfortunately I can't recommend this place for any tourists of the area. It started out great, our server who was a big bulky man with a big black beard and I think his name started with an "A" sat us down. We then ordered and the food was good but not great. He then came and then he told us the price and it was well over what it should have been, but we didn't know the price at that point. We also tried to buy a souvenir from him and he said the price was 10 dollars when in reality it was 8 dollars. We called him on it and he did honor the price after we showed him the price. We then give him the money that he charged us and then he said that he needed a tip. He probably took advantage of us since we speak English and we are from America so tipping is mandatory in America. But we also know that tipping is optional in Europe so it was very unprofessional to ask us for a tip. We give him another euro for a tip. I would not recommend going to this place if you were a tourist. (Also if the waiter that did this to us is reading this be a better person. There are better ways to get extra money than taking advantage of tourists.) Und wenn Sie es auf Deutsch brauchen (wenn der Kellner, der uns das angetan hat, dies liest, sei ein besserer Mensch. Es gibt bessere Möglichkeiten, zusätzliches Biergeld zu bekommen, als die Vorteile von Touristen zu nutzen.) read more

Augustiner is popular among the locals for a reason. We visited on a snowy blizzard night, streets were so empty but this place was so packed and bumping. It could be intimidating at first, just find open seats even if the large table has people there. Servers will come and take food/drink orders ASAP. All portions are huge - food and drinks!!!! Hefe is the best beer option IMHO and the duck is a must! Make friends with your table neighbors too, everyone there is having a good time. read more
