There are hearty German faves like bratwurst, schnitzel, pierogi, and potato salad, as well as seasonal specials, tasty desserts, and refreshing beers (plus soft drinks, wine, and a full bar). It's a very cozy and inviting atmosphere. The staff are professional, caring, and friendly. We recently had a small private party and they were super helpful and accommodating. I definitely recommend stopping by for a drink and dinner!!

I grew up with a first generation German Great-grandmother and the Bierock and the Schnitzel were on point. My compliments to the chef. We came during the week so the Biergarten was not open, due to limited staff, but all the biers were available. The place is small but can support a couple of large groups inside (6-8people). They were half full and the noise was quite low. If you are in Fredericksburg,VA and want German food you will not be disappointed. Come and enjoy. They would have made my Great-grandmother proud.

BLUF: good American style food in a comfy atmosphere…read more Four of us went for dinner on a weekday evening. The service was friendly and responsive. Try to get there during happy hour deals for appetizers because it cuts the price substantially. Had the burger slider and avocado egg roll appetizers. The burgers were very good, and when I asked for some mayo to go with the burgers the server brought it promptly. They don't give you quite enough dipping sauce for the avocado rolls, so go ahead and ask for them to give you two containers of dip right from the start. The french fries were tasty but a little bit overdone. Also got the cheeseburger which was very tasty came on a nice brioche bun. The only complaint was that I think the food took a little too long to come out. Nothing terrible but probably about 5 minutes longer than I think it should have for relatively simple bar food. That said we enjoyed the food we had and our server was friendly and responsive.

Falls Church, VA - after hiking around in the city my handsome husband and I worked up a hunger…read more German Gourmet to the rescue! This little store on Columbia Pike functions as a German specialty grocer, deli and sandwich counter. Our focus today was the sandwich counter. One important thing to know is there is no seating of any kind. You will be taking your sandwiches to go. (My suggestion: get a few slices of butter kaese at the deli counter and munch on these on the car ride home. Then enjoy your sandwiches in peace at your abode.) They do offer napkins and plastic silverware if needed. The sandwiches are freshly made to order. You take a number and a deli employee will assist you. They have numerous types of bratwurst to choose from. Additionally a number of German cold cuts. We ordered a Nurnberger bratwurst and the Tyrolean hot sandwich. The breads for both were very fresh and the sandwiches tasty. The mustard on the bratwurst was full of good horseradish! The Tyrolean was moist with a good combination of tender meat and sauce. The bread was a nice mild rye - it was a two hander sandwich! We were both full having eaten these delicious sandwiches. The deli employees were all friendly and efficient. Prices were very reasonable. We would definitely return.

Hi everyone, just wanted to leave a review of German Gourmet on Columbia Pike…read more Before I begin, I want to identify what the ingredients are for a classic Reuben. You'll need two slices of seeded or marble rye bread, about six ounces of thinly sliced corned beef or pastrami, two slices of sharp Swiss cheese, roughly a quarter cup of well-drained sauerkraut, and two tablespoons of Russian or Thousand Island dressing. A little butter for toasting the bread and optional spicy brown mustard round it out. That said, what I actually received was the absolute worst Reuben I've ever had in my entire life. They used ham instead of corned beef or pastrami, an insult to the name. The Swiss was bland and low-quality, not sharp at all. There was no mustard, barely any Thousand Island, and I couldn't even detect any sauerkraut. The bread wasn't toasted, and they still charged me $12.50 with tax. If this is what passes for a Reuben at a supposed German delicatessen, save your money and go somewhere that actually knows what they're doing.

Big fan of Bronson's. Word of warning is that it can get super crowded but that just speaks to its…read morepopularity. The food is good. My most recent venture I had the wings. I did the house dry rub and old bay dry rub. The house dry rub, to be honest, was bland and flavorless. The old bay seasoning was very good. I wish the wings had come with more. For $15 you get 8 total wings. It didn't feel like great value. What is great value and tastes great are the Bavarian pretzels as well as the buffalo chicken dip. You truly can't go wrong with either one. They have a robust drink menu. They are lacking a cider on tap but it is what it is. While this might not be the most glowing review on its surface, Bronson's gets 5 stars for its atmosphere and ability to accommodate a wide range of food and drink desires. I watched two World Cup games here and it was a fun, electric atmosphere.

If you're thinking of going to Bronson Bierhall, read this first…read more I got kicked out Friday night for absolutely no reason. I was in the patio with friends, in the corner, not bothering anyone -- not fighting, not yelling, not approaching strangers. Security walked up, said there was "a complaint," refused to say who it was from, refused to say what it was about, refused to let me talk to the manager, and refused to even let me back inside to grab my own card. My friends asked him to stop. He ignored them. This is the second time their security has unfairly targeted me. The first time I had just stepped outside to take a phone call. The same guard ran after me and started accusing me of stealing -- but couldn't say what was supposedly stolen or who had complained, because nobody actually had. I told him my laptop and jacket were inside at the bar and that all the bartenders know me. He eventually apologized once it became obvious he had nothing. Same guy, same pattern, different night. Also worth knowing: my friend and I had just ordered around $100 in food and drinks at the end. Nothing finished. No refund offered, no apology, no manager. If management thinks letting one guard humiliate paying customers in front of their friends is good for business, here's your feedback. Plenty of better pubs in Arlington that actually respect the people

Road trip, Sat., 8/1 to the 33rd Annual African American Festival in Manassas ended up here…read more Super small but super cute, super trendy restaurant. We all agree on 2 thumbs up across the board for decor and ambiance. It was giving industrial-NYC-Soho vibes. Quite impressive for Main Street Manassas. Timing was everything ... we were too early for the dinner crowd and just missed the lunch rush so the parking Gods were on our side ... we snagged a spot right in front of the restaurant. Stephen was a gracious server / bartender to our wee little party of 3. The beers were cold and the Cadillac Margarita was decent. The Rueben and bbq wings were raved about (especially the bbq sauce ... it was legendary)! Unfortunately, the salmon bites and the pork belly deviled egg appetizers were soooo salty and just not edible. Also $15 was diabolical for the portion size of the salmon bites. (Pic attached) I've paid that for a full bourbon glazed salmon meal with rice and veggies. Not a deal breaker. Would most def return to try other app / entree / summer cocktail options. Looking forward to hearing YOUR opinion. When you go, tell them you saw it on yelp.

Luckily, I don't have to drive to Philadelphia to get my hot pretzels. I go right over to The Pretzel Bakery in Cabin John Shopping Center. So, when I get a craving for a delicious hot pretzel I just stop by the bakery. I walked in and was greeted right away. The lady who helped me was so nice. She was just finishing up with a customer and she told me it would just be a minute. She was right...she took my order and in 2 minutes I was out the door with my hot pretzel and mustard. It was soft, pillowy, and full of flavor. The Pretzel Bakery is a small bakery, but has counter seats available at the window incase you want to enjoy your pretzel there. It is a lovely little bakery and I am thrilled to have them close by. Thank you Pretzel Bakery.

TLDR: inauthentic, overpriced, cheaply made food…read more Do not come here expecting authentic German food. I've been coming here since childhood and while it definitely took a major dip when the ownership changed a few years ago, this last time sealed the deal for me- I won't be back. -the rouladen was made using ground meat, not a thinly cut piece of intact beef as intended. The only reason to do this is to be cheap. -I ordered sauerbraten originally and was told they had it, but that *I* couldn't have it because they had to save it for a private party in the back room. Excuse me? Not sure what makes them more important paying customers than me as a paying customer, but ok. -asked for no bacon in the rouladen. It came with bacon. -the appetizer plates were dirty. And they were PLASTIC. -the bread dumplings are obviously cut out of a premade tube- one that received was an end piece had the imprint of the end of the tube on it. They used to be round. -why is lumpia on a German menu? -the green beans are sour and unappealing. For those unaware, this place used to be authentic. Rouladen was a real cut of meat. They had more varied and real food. The sides were served family style, and you got all of them with your entree. The waiters used to be knowledgeable and were in dirndls and lederhosen, etc. It has fallen so downhill, seemingly in the name of money. Might as well remove the white table cloths now.
