Visited Bavarian Bierhaus for the first time recently and it was great. We arrived after their live music had ended, but otherwise it was everything I look for in a German restaurant. Our waiter was extremely friendly and helpful with our party's food and drink selections, and since it was my wife's birthday he even returned to absolutely belt out the happy birthday song. 10/10 The food itself was pretty good although a little pricey for a bierhaus. The sausage sampler and chicken schnitzel were both great, but I was really a sucker for their spätzel. Next time we'll be sure to arrive in time for the live music and festivities. read more

I visited Bavarian Bierhaus for the first time last night with my husband, dad, and step-mom to celebrate my birthday. First impressions were great! This place is huge!! I love the beer garden-style layout where it's more communal and the benches are long and meant to be shared with other parties. We stopped by at 5pm Sunday evening and it was perfect timing, not too busy but still a good amount of other customers where it was fun to watch them take shots together but not too busy where service could have been slow. Our waiter was awesome, very attentive, quick, and continued pouring us drinks. I ordered the sausage platter with mashed potatoes with gravy and a side of spätzle. My food was absolutely delicious and while it did need some dipping sauces, there was mustard at the table which was nice. The mashed potatoes and gravy was some of the best I've ever had. My dad ordered the Kartoffeln for all of us to share. It was tasty with the applesauce but needed more garlic. At the end of dinner, my dad *had* to announce to the waiter that it was my birthday and I told the waiter it was true but to not sing to me. Well, he did sing, and boy, it was a performance for sure. All eyes were on us because our waiter when all out belting the notes perfectly and holding them, too. The restaurant was singing at their own pace. My face was red because I feel so awkward with birthday songs. However, the cake was SO good and worth the attention. I believe it was Black Forest cake and omg, it was delectable. All in all, this was a great place to celebrate my birthday with family and I can't wait to come back for a regular dinner. read more

Bavarian Bierhaus - Chicken Schnitzel was really good! - German Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I updated this review after the response below from the owner. Unfortunately, I am disappointed in their response to what was originally an "ok", but accurate review. I am very aware what I ordered. It was a Hefeweizen, a pretty popular beer made both in the US and Germany. I have had it from domestic breweries and imported from Germany. I can no longer recommend this place at all if this is how they are going to respond. I don't know how to feel about this place. On one hand, all the food I have had there has been solid, the beer has been lacking. This seems to be a popular place before Opry, but the service is slow. The beer seemed super watery which was surprising. Probably the worst part is that the food and drinks are severely overpriced. I've been to many German restaurants, including ones in theme parks. This was the most expensive of all of them and their drinks were the worst. read more

OMG, a gluten free schnitzel and a gluten free pilsner!? That's what brought me in but everything was incredible from the service to the incredibly perfect German potato salad. They should have a better rating, I'm a HUGE fan! read more

Not often do I say to skip something - skip this. While I'm not sure what else is nearby, it must be better than this disgusting "German" food that was served. Positives: The decor is cute, the restaurant is spacious, and the server team was lovely. They took time to discuss allergies, offer ideas for our large table, and were continuously refilling the beverages. Not positives: The food is utterly gross. The large pretzel was tolerable and the German potato salad was edible. Neither were good - but able to be eaten. The chicken and the "gravy" were terribly disgusting. No joke, skip it. read more

Definitely more of a tourist attraction. I had the vegetarian Mac n cheese and it was below average. It didn't have much flavor & was very greasy. My had the Rueben. He said it was okay but the mix of flavors was off. I had the red blend wine which was okay and he had an NA beer which was a little sweet. The space is large to host birthday parties. It is probably fun at night when they have live music. We were seated immediately and the place was empty. The hostess was very friendly. read more

We were going to Grand old Opry and decided on German before hand. We ordered a flamkuchem kind of a flat bread pizza. Pretty good. We had a goulash and onion soup for dinner. The onion soup was very rich beef broth with great flavor. I give it a 9. My wife had the goulash it was also rich, I gave it an 8.25. The Mac and cheese was a bit oily only a 8. With beer and tip 90, a bit high but we're not in Kansas There was German music that was enjoyable. read more

Paprika Snitz, with pork. Recommended by Brendon. Fantastic! Service was exceptional. Having been in the service industry for almost 10 years myself, I'd rate him 10/10. Attentive, cared for our comfort without being overbearing on our table. Took great care of us. Food was excellent. read more

Bavarian Bierhaus - Paprika Schnitzel/sub pork. Wauters recommendation. - German Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

For what it is, it done good. It's a masssssive building in a big mall, and a place to eat before the Opry-- how we landed there. Two older men signing Sweet Caroline on two guitars, mellow yellow, but someone had to sing out, so we did. And then the rest did. Boisterous waitresses in Nashvillesque-dirdnls who show no sign of dismay at serving a mostly empty pre-Opry spare dinner 'crowd.' Enthusiasm appreciated. Beer choices-- excellent German selection Little lockers for your favorite stein, Oy. Food? Solid enough. I don't know that i'll be back, but it's super... and super-easy spot for a pre-Opry meal. We had fun. Know what you're gonna get, set the bar right, kitschy with good beer, and you won't be disappointed. read more

Came to Nashville for a Friday night concert at the Ryman Theater and decided to find a German restaurant for lunch. Checking Yelp (of course!) we found the Bavarian Bierhaus, which looked pretty authentic. We drove over to Opry Mills and found it no problem. The ambiance was a legit German Bier Garden! We ordered a couple orders of the German pancakes, and my sister-in-law, who is 100% German, gave them 2 thumbs up. They're tricky to prepare correctly and they nailed it! The entrees came out pretty quickly and I got the Chicken Schnitzel with German pops to salad and the kasespatzel (Mac & cheese), and again, my sister-in-law said it was spot on! BIG portions for sure with my wife got the Brat on a bun and Irma got the Pork Schnitzel. It was an awesome meal and we somehow found the room to try the Black Forest Cake! A definite 5 Star review! Check it out, you'll definitely go back. read more

While our family loves going here, I fear the only good thing is usually the soft pretzel and beer cheese. The servers are friendly and the atmosphere is always fun (especially during the holidays and live music nights), but the rest of the food is just mid (as the youths say). The beer selection is always good but things seems a bit overpriced. read more

Very cool atmosphere but that's where the positives end. Food wasn't good. We started with the potato pancakes and they were too peppery. These would be better with just salt and then add sweetness with applesauce. My wife ordered the Schweinebraten and I ordered the sauerbraten. Honestly couldn't tell the difference between the two. I think they mixed our orders up. The pork on my side late was extremely dry and tasted gross. The German potato salad might have been good if it had been served warm. 2 of my daughters had a side of mashed potatoes and both of them had a dried crust on them like they had been sitting under a warmer for a while. We had a 4 pm reservation so I don't why they weren't fresh. Nothing was good. Extremely disappointed. $144 bill I definitely expected more. Won't be back. read more

Quite possibly the worst and rudest service I've ever received. Came in for a quick beer prior to an imax movie. Sat at bar ordered a beer and told bartender that is all we'd be having as we are heading to a movie. She said no problem then disappeared nowhere to be seen for 32 minutes. Asked the hostess to please find her as we needed to leave. She came back and said "it's gonna be a minute she's helping customers in the back." Ummm why is a bartender helping customers in the back with numerous patrons sitting at bar with no service. After another 6 minutes I told hostess we were leaving we couldn't wait any longer at which point she became very rude and said "well I guess I'll just check you out. Not sure why you in such a rush when she's helping other paying customers." Then bartender comes back out a full 40 minutes later and says "oh sorry I've been in the back updating our new menu". Ok who's lying the bartender or the hostess. This is about the moment the hostess slams my receipt and credit back down on table and says "I don't care just bye" as she stormed off. Will never step foot in this place again. read more

We hadn't been here in a few years. It was fine before. Today it was awful. We get to our seats. Table and benches were sticky as if they had rarely had anything but a damp rag passed over them. Food was on the floor nearby - as in large pieces of food - the entire time we were there. And they sat people right on top of the food without bothering to clean it up. Tables nearby were left with dirty dishes for a long time. They were not busy. It was a Wednesday. Ordered sauerbraten, which I previously had there, which I've made myself, and had at other restaurants. The meat is supposed to be marinated in a sauce for a long time. The meat was bone dry. Falling apart. And not because it was tender. But because the meat fibers were all that was left, like little protein matchsticks. The sauce was a gloopy mess poured on top - maybe thickened with cornstarch - that seemed like brown gravy with some lemon stirred in. Inedible. The sauerkraut was just weird, and not in a good or remotely interesting way. Sad because this used to be the only quarter-way descent restaurant in Opry Mills - which we only go to for a movie or a show at the Opry. Stay away. read more

It was good not the goat but it was not bad at all I would recamand there cheese is weird tasteing I got cheese fries and a grilled cheese but I would like to try their Mac and cheese read more

Super underwhelming. Spaetzle was mushy (my 3 year old LOVES spaetzle and kept saying he likes mine better-- for reference, I've made it twice ever! I'm not an expert!). My goulash had 4 chunks of meat in it. The beer was fine but wildly overpriced. Same with the pretzel. Halfway through the meal the tvs switched to an adult cartoon and my toddlers couldn't take their eyes off it. Lackluster bierhaus feel. I was disappointed that we asked for mustard with our pretzel and the waitress pointed to the Boarshead on the table. I can buy that brand at target-- figured they'd have something more authentic or made in-house. Just super unimpressed and disappointed. And spent WAY more than we should have. Oh also... terrible phone service. If you have QR code menus, you'd better have good phone service. Really frustrating trying to get the menu to load read more

Bavarian Bierhaus - Goulash with Spätzle - German Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

It is a huge place and we were looking for someplace to eat before going to the Opry with friends. Food is "ok" but not stellar. One person in our group had a Reuben sandwich but gave half to her husband after finding too much fat in her sandwich. The Friday special was fish & chips and while it looked pretty good our friend did not appear too impressed. i had the German version of Mac n Cheese which was pretty tasty but the fried onions on top were hard as rocks. Sadly, it probably will not be on our list of places to dine again. read more

Too expensive! The place was empty for dinner in a weeknight. Bartender was friendly and good. The pretzel ($13.88) was hard and not good. You can get better frozen ones from Walmart. Better yet, Wetzels Pretzels! Beer was ok, not too cold. Half liter (basically 16 oz) was $12.60 and the grapefruit beer was $11.80! Total for 2 beers and a lousy pretzel = $49.48!! Including tip. Outrageous for a mediocre visit. read more

BEER: To cut to the chase, it's the price. I enjoy a good beer but $20 for 1-liter is insanity for something that doesn't taste all that interesting. They offer 2Ls but I can't imagine how expensive that is. FOOD: Appetizer- Rueben spring rolls had hardly any corned beef. The Swiss was there but other than that it's a hollow shell of dense wrapping. Thousand island dressing was ok. Spaetzle- horrid, looks like scrambled eggs tossed in flour. It's should never be this bright yellow, eggy pieces. Gravy/beer cheese- it tastes like straight beer with some salt; overwhelming on the schnitzel. Schnitzel- it's suppose to be a thinly pounded cut of pork with a light breading. It was the total opposite, thick pork may be good for the customer but it's not suppose to be a slab of swine that's heavy on the stomach when you need to finish your cafeteria mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes- I had better in the food hall in university. Seems like frozen and microwaved (probably is). Potato salad: German potato salad is served hot, not cold. SERVER: He has nothing to do with the food or pricing and is attentive and always asked if we had questions. I wasn't going to question him on the food and beer quality and price. He just needed to work and get a paycheck, we tipped him well. OVERALL: As a traveler this was a gut punch to the wallet. We expected our total after our (appetizer, main courses with chosen sides, and 1-liter and 0.5 liter beers) to cost us around $85. It was $102, before tip. What is the best German restaurant I recommend: If you are traveling and happen to stop by Hot Springs, AR. Visit Steinhaus Keller, a true, authentic German restaurant that does justice to Germans. (It's more affordable too even if you get your sips.) read more

Didn't like the 2 appetizer we ordered. Potatoe cakes were very heavy and dense. The flat bread had no taste. I ordered the pork roast which was very tender, but nothing on it, not even salt. Sauerkraut was so sour and so many caraway seeds that's all you tasted was the seeds. Mashed potatoes so thick and brown color. My husband had the Sausage platter. All 3 meats were good. This place had so many flies flying around us. We had to eat with one hand and swat Flies with the other. Half way through I spotted a fly in my gravy!! I Immediately felt sick. we both stopped eating. They gave us a big 25% off.what a joke.. We didn't say much after all this and left. Never again. The waitress was wonderful btw. read more

I've been to other German restaurants so we figured we'd do this one a shot. Basically we went inside it. That's what I expected. It was a early dinner so the band was just setting up, which is fine. We ordered our food and the thing we noticed that it came out extremely quickly. I don't like that because that tells me this food has been sitting on a warmer so we got appetizer lukewarm, but tasted good when we ordered our food it literally came out in less than 10 minutes and it was obvious under a heat lamp premade. It was very disappointing. We really should've said something about wanting fresh food, but we couldn't understand why there would be premade food at this large venue, but I guess that's how they do it when I go back to it no. Would I tell my friends or family to go no. read more

I wasn't sure what I was getting in to when I asked for a brewery that wasn't far off my route but I was pleased with the destination. The Bavarian Bierhaus is styled like a German beer tent at Oktoberfest with long benches, a stage for the usual oom-pah band and lots of waitresses wearing drindls. A menu of pretzels, sausages, potato salad, and the like. Oh, and beer. I ordered a half liter and spent about an hour here as I had a bunch of emails that couldn't wait until later. I did manage to find one of the only power outlets, which is against the wall near the "beer garden" that is just a deck overlooking the parking lot. Service was friendly, the beer was cold, the wifi worked well, and after a bunch of focused emails out, I was good to go. I need to get back for some spaetzle.

Authentic German beer hall experience in Nashville. Great selection of German style beers. Furthermore, the food is based on German favorites but I have to say it has been adjusted to American tastes. Some of the sides you will not see at other than German places. The band is lots of fun. Dining is at large community tables. Great for a large group and you may get to meet someone new if they get added to your table. Friendly staff and they keep the food moving. WE oly come here when its an event. Not a place we go for a quiet meal or one that is quick. read more

I used to go there all the time. I was so hyped when it first opened. Like many other places prices are out of control. What made me not go back is I ordered the Munich white wurst which by default should come with mustard. They didn't give me any so I asked for mustard. They asked if I wanted one or two types. I said why not I'll take two after it was left off. I was charged like $1.50 per side of mustard. I won't be back after that. I've probably been 20 times but things like that are a no go. read more

The service was amazing!! Chris was attentive and made some great suggestions for our first time. Corey was great too. We had a flight, some salmon, a cheeseburger, and I had a vegetarian Mac with Beyond brats. I love the family style seating. If you don't like sitting with strangers, don't go ruining the vibe (order to go). The bar was hopping and there were cards in the table, so we played with 'em. I would definition here again because the live entertainment was just getting started. But don't sleep in the regular playlist! This is a good spot for the fam, hanging out, or a day with the boo. The uniforms are cute too. read more

Fun, fun, fun atmosphere! We came in for a friend's birthday celebration and had a fantastic time! The band made the environment feel very loud, boisterous, and celebratory which is exactly the vibe we were hoping for. Our server Klinton was amazing! Very friendly and attentive. The beer was all really great. We had the Oktoberfest and the Weihenstefaner. Delicious and refreshing! The food is what we have mixed reviews on. Some of it was good and some dishes were not. For example, I really enjoyed my currywurst but my husband did not like his brats in a blanket at all. The pretzels are a no-brainer. They compliment the beer perfectly. read more

My family and I were visiting Nashville for the week and decided to try the Bavarian Bierhaus. We made a reservation for 6:00 pm and arrived around 5:52 pm. When we arrived the hostess said it would be a 5 minute wait for anyone who came no matter the reservation or not. Then she asked when our reservation was and upon hearing it was for 6:00 she asked us to wait 8 minutes to our time instead of 5 minutes. We asked why the additional time after being told 5 minutes and she did not seem to have an answer. After waiting 15 minutes we went back up to ask about our table and the hostess replied that it was still being prepared and to please be patient. Not a full minute later she screamed our party name when we were 3 feet away. As we were being walked to our table she said "please take our patient guests to their table" After being seated we ordered drinks and our meals. Management gave us a pretzel on the house for our experience with the hostess. We got the pork schnitzel with spaetzle, cucumber salad, German potato salad, and sauerkraut. The spaetzle was way too eggy and the sauerkraut was a little bit pickle-y. The cucumbers and potatoes were good. The schnitzel was teetering on the dry side. For the experience the price was way too high and the service was just alright. I regret to say our experience with the hostess tainted our whole evening unfortunately. read more

Stumbled upon this restaurant looking for a meal before the Grand Ole Opry. The Fish sandwich was greasy, Schnitzel was over cooked ,red cabbage salad bad, potato salad tasteless, $45 for 2 large beers. The only thing I liked was the sauerkraut. Our waitress was okay but we actually got our meal before we received our water and beers. I think the people eating here were brought in by tour groups and didn't know any better. read more
