Some friends and I went on a Saturday night and it was busy, but we waited over an hour to get our food. After we asked our server, it was brought out shortly after. It also took some time to get our order placed. The jager schnitzel with the mushroom sauce was tasty. I preferred that the sauce come on the side so that the schnitzel doesn't get soggy. The schnitzel was breaded and cooked wonderfully. The potato salad wasn't anything special and I wasn't a big fan of it unfortunately. I added cheese to my spaetzle, and it was still very bland. The pretzel with beer cheese came out cold which I wasn't expecting. The flavor of the beer cheese was not great and I couldn't finish it. The ambience inside is very lively and fun and I love all of the decor. The service was very slow and not the friendliest. read more

Bavarian Grill - German Near Me - Plano, Texas

I wasn't sure whether the female greeter was going to bite us or seat us......clearly the wrong girl to open your front door for customers-we were new to the business to celebrate my birthday! When inquiring, our waitress had no clue of the wines being offered and there are not that many; and while I do not complain about prices typically, $18.00 for a 6oz serving of their top German 'Spatlese' is....... I had Weinerschitzel (sic) and my wife had duck; her duck was excellent, but was served in an appetizer portion while my veal was more than ample, but unremarkable......the potato pancakes were hockey puck sized and about as tough..... of the meal was the purple cabbage-believe it or not!! For a German Restaurant that features an ample menu of desserts-no one asked, so we did not bother! They have been in business for 32 years and the business has sticky tables (at least ours did) and is just plain tired......it is really a beer bar that serves mediocre food-SAD!! read more

I do not want to leave a bad review of the Bavarian Grill, because I really, really like the Bavarian Grill. But my experience tonight enforces my hand against my heart. I give no complaint to the food and the ambience, as I have always eaten well and enjoyed the jaunty, light-hearted ambience that this restaurant has provided for decades. My wife and I decided to take our kids out tonight to try German food. The service tonight was abysmal. We waited for twenty minutes for our waiter. When someone finally arrived, he was rather abrupt and rude. Tables around us who were seated immediately received bread before us. Our pickled vegetable side and a beer was brought out promptly, but this would be the only part of our order we received. We waited for over an hour without being checked in on one time. Once! The waiter appeared from the kitchen a couple of times clearly eating something and then disappeared for almost half an hour. When he finally reappeared I asked for more bread, as the kids were getting antsy. He did not verbally respond to this, but walked off and returned with a basket which he more or less tossed on the table, making an obvious effort to avoid eye contact with me. After an hour and fifteen, someone else came by and asked if we were okay. We responded that we were just waiting for our food. This person, too, disappeared without a response. At an hour and a half--kids hungry and depleted of whatever patience they had--we left. This makes a bitter end to what has otherwise been a joyful patronage to a local legend. read more

Another fantastic meal at Bavarian Grill. We were seated at a small table right on the aisle and very close to a larger family size table. This was annoying due to the constant interruptions. The food was a good distraction, though. read more

It's horrible. Save your money. Our family has been going there for over 15 years, and has been an enjoyable experience in the past but has gone downhill. We were there Friday 9.11 and everything about an enjoyable meal was missing. Food was horrible (one meal was Sausage plate that was tasteles; another meal was Veal Schnitzle - so grisly unable to chew; my potato pancakes appetizer were like hocky pucks. Ordered Onion soup, that was edible. The best part of the meal was the free basket of Costco pretzels and Mustard they gave us after we were there about 20 minutes. Out of the many beers and wine that we selected. read more

This place is more like a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The only thing preventing it from getting 5 stars was the wait time to get our food. Everything else was fantastic. I'm actually very glad we came here instead of the other places we had planned on going for lunch. When we went, it was not crowded and we got seated quickly. This place is fairly big, with plenty of tables and space. They also have a dedicated "beer garden" on one side of the restaurant. For food, i had to get jager schnitzel with spaetzle. My wife ended up getting duck. Before my food came out, they also brought out a salad. I don't know if it was part of the jager schnitzel entree or the duck... But the salad was amazing. Everything was pickled and very intense flavor. Both entrees were great and i also like the fact that they have a kid's menu that serves german food. (I was afraid the kids menu would have simple items like burger and or chicken tenders, but that's not the case here.) the lunch portions were perfectly sized.... granted its not "texas sized" but it did its job and i left satisfied. What i really like about the place is the interior decor. It looks like the owners brought back so many trinkets, souvenirs and photos from their trips to Germany and it makes it feel more authentic. This was actually one of the saving grace from waiting to get our food, i tried to look around to see all the different things on displayed. Service was great. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came with a group of 12+ for a birthday party. It was my first time and it was a ton of fun! SO MUCH FOOD. We ate all the traditional Bavarian food and lots of beer. The birthday dessert was a 3-foot-long apple strudel made fresh for our table. AMAZING. The ambiance was infectious with all the traditional music. Schnitzel, Spätzle, Pretzels, Kraut, Wurst and Strudel! Oh My! I loved the bratwurst and sauer kraut. The potato pancake was not great (sadly) - I just thought it lacked flavor. Otherwise, I loved everything and so did everyone in my party. read more

Decided we needed some German food and decided to give the Bavarian Grill a try. We stopped in and were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and did an excellent job throughout the meal. He was patient and answered all of our questions. We had the Schnitzel which was crisp and delicious. We also tried the Duck breast which was very well cooked and seasoned. The Fried Brie was excellent and a great addition to the meal. The rolls served were all outstanding and really enhanced the experience. Overall it was a great meal and we look forward to dining here again soon! read more

Absolutely horrible. Disinterested hostess. Terrible waiter. I was seated, even though the hostess wanted me to sit at the bar. Waiter took forever to get me a drink. At this point I started my chronograph to time everything. After 4 minutes the waiter came back and took my order. From that point I waited another 31 minutes and got up and left. I will never return. They probably are happy that is so. read more

We came here early October 2025 to prepare for an upcoming Germany trip. Some colleagues of mine have come here repeatedly and raved about it. Our server very enthusiastically made some beer recommendations and we went with them. We tried a variety of light pilsners from different regions as well as a dark beer. For food, we split a sausage sampler to start. The platter came with five different sausages, mashed potatoes, and sauerkraut. Every item was delicious. We couldn't decide on a favorite sausage, they were all so good. We followed up with splitting a seasonal mushroom sauce schnitzel. This wasn't your typical Jagerschnitzel - this was something elevated. This was so good, and it was difficult not to inhale the whole thing. The time here was well spent, and the ambiance at the restaurant was pure Germany. Hopefully we can make it out here again soon. Come hungry and come early! read more

Such a fun and unique find! We'd just drove into town (8+ hours) and were staying at a hotel across the parking lot. Had plans with friends for a late dinner but needed something to tide us over & this place was perfect. Super cute inside and very reminiscent of Hofbrau Haus in Munich. Tons of beer options on tap/draft. Staff was friendly. The menu had a lot of legit German items on it. If we lived here, we'd definitely go back. read more

The best German food in DFW but pricey for what you get. The food isn't fancy or gourmet. It's your typical staple German dishes; sausages, schnitzels, spatzel, cabbage, potatoes, etc. The portions are massive but you cannot share without getting hit with a split plate fee which is annoying. Only a few of our group of 12 could finish their food and many took home more than half of their entree. I ordered the ham hock which be warned takes a long time to prepare. The tender, salty pork combined with the crispy deep-fried skin was the ultimate companion for cold beer. I was expecting the ham hock to be huge since the schnitzels are so massive but it was quite normal size by American standards. The pan-fried potatoes with bacon were recommended by the server and did not disappoint. I chose the spatzel as my other side dish since I haven't had it since I was in Germany many years ago. It was fine but I'd choose another side like the potato pancakes next time. My entree along with a single 0.5L beer was $60 after tax + tip and that's where the problem lies. I would rate this place easily 4-stars if it wasn't so expensive. The kitschy interior is fun and for birthdays, they sing and ring little bells for you. read more

What a treasure in North Dallas. Just off 75 in Plano. Complete with outdoor bier garten! The interior is just amazing. So much love and passion poured into this location, offering it up those of us who enter. Every detail seems hand selected. So many artifacts, decor, ambiance, flags, even the locomotive that encircles the interior. Service is top notch and in character. Oktoberfest is legit. Two pages of schnitzel! And the bread oh the bread. Do not pass it up. Plus the sweet cream butter. Soooo good. You must leave room for dessert. Or just come for dessert. Oh my this white cake with almond cream layer is the winner. You should take a whole one home. I cannot wait to come back. read more

Celebrated Oktoberfest at Bavarian Grill in Plano, and it truly felt like a little slice of Bavaria right here in suburbia Texas. I had the Schwammer'l Schnitzel, a perfectly breaded pork cutlet topped with a rich wild mushroom ragout. It was an absolute delicious plate for mushroom lovers. Each bite was hearty, earthy, and very creamy. Paired it with a cold Weihenstephan beer, and it couldn't have been more fitting for the occasion. Brie made our dinner UYE more pleasurable by giving right recommendations for us first timers. We ended the evening with some of our table mates sharing their desserts. It was the perfect sweet finish to a wonderful night of Bavarian flavors, great company, and festive vibes. Prost!! read more

I love this place!! It is ausgezeichnet (excellent)!! I have been here many times, but it has been several years - only because it isn't very close to home. Even I weren't eating I would love to just sit in the restaurant to feel as though I was in Germany. They have many excellent beers to try and even have a beer club to join! They have a Bavarian Grill Stein Hour between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday! The very sweet and helpful waitress brought us out a bread basket to start. The bread was nice and warm and yummy. It was a great compliment to my German beer! I happened to be there during Schnitzel Fest! Ja ja ja!! Ja to the schnitzel!! I had the stuffed schnitzel - the kase schnitzel that is pork with melted gruyere and Emmentaler cheeses! Lecker!! I had sauerkraut and spatzle for my sides! Unfortunately, I was too full for dessert! Maybe next time! They have accordion players performing many nights - check their events calendar on their website! I'll definitely be back! Next time in my dirndl! Oans, zwoa, drei, gsuffa! read more

I don't know where to start. I think the staff are the absolute shining stars. Don't get me wrong, the food is amazing and the ambience of the restaurant is perfect, but the staff are incredible. If you really know German beers, this place is heaven. If you don't, they will very kindly and very casually help you make selections, which is a good thing given that their beer list runs over 100 items. It may run quite a bit longer than that. I visited twice in two weeks, and I will definitely return. I knew I was going to return shortly after walking in, so I got there beer stain, checklist, and I look forward to working my way through all the beers. While eating delicious food. In a really cool environment with a great vibe. And with just tremendous staff. read more

Bavarian Grill - Rahm schnitzel - German Near Me - Plano, Texas

Great authentic food and ambiance. The entire restaurant is decked out with German decor. There was a band playing music and like 5 tables there celebrating birthdays so they went around singing happy birthday to them. All the beers are from Germany to and they have every glass that corresponds to the beer. Multiple sizes too. My friends were drinking the massive liters. if you drink all of the beers on the menu, you get a mug and a plaque on the wall. If you're not a beer drinker though they do have a pretty good wine selection too. I give it 3 stars because the food is expensive and the portions are massive. Definitely one of those restaurants I wish would half the portions and lower the price because entrees are $25-$30+ each and could easily feed 2 to 3 people. I was so full and i barely made a dent in my schnitzel. Felt like such a waste. Would not recommend the potato pancakes. My friend ordered them and said they didn't taste like potato at all... more like onion bread. Which if you like that... great. But not so great when you're expecting potatoes. read more

I attended a UYE dinner with fellow yelpers in celebration of Oktoberfest! I had yet to try out their latest location and was highly impressed with the expansion and experience. They kept their authenticity as well as their welcoming service. I ordered the following: Oktoberfest beer - perfect for the holiday celebration Gulasch Suppe - A bowl of their Spicy Goulash Soup with beef, pork, paprika, onions, and peppers. This soup is broth-based and does not have much beef/pork. Ultimately, it was not spicy and a little too salty for my liking. Peach Cheesecake - A seasonal dessert, although it was not peach season, I still offered to select this as a dessert because I am a dessert fan. It was not too rich, so very sweet to eat, and the peach was very subtle as well. Loved their whipped cream, very airy. Happy to say my Yelp comrades allowed me to take bites of their side dishes, and I couldn't have been happier as a fan of the Pommes Frites (steak fries), sauokraut, and Rotkraut (red cabbage) read more

One of the finest & most authentic Bavarian restaurants I have found in the entire U.S. Quite a large place, excellent for large groups or small. Extensive German beer selection with mostly Bavarian craft beers. They have an excellent escargot & the Nurnberger wursts are well prepared. They have quite a few wild game dishes & the menu is very large. Staff are all polite & attentive, the decor inside is all authentic Bavarian & very interesting to look at. I've enjoyed meals here twice & the food & service was consistent both times with not many people eating at 2-3pm midweek. They also have an outdoor patio/beirgarden available. Well managed by the Owner Jurgen who was a delight to speak with. read more

I've only been here once and didn't even have a full meal to really make a more detailed review. But I had one of their dessert and thoroughly enjoyed my time while here one afternoon for lunch. I had their Waldbeeren Torte mit Schlag. It is a light sponge cake topped with vanilla cream and a juicy blend of blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. It was delightful after your authentic Bavarian meal. Service was very friendly and thorough and the restaurant just make you feel you are not in DFW anymore. It was a real Bavarian treat to visit this restaurant. read more

It's Octoberfest at Bavarian Grill!! Their menu for this time of year features an extra two pages of various schnitzels. For all schnitzels you have the choice of chicken, pork, or for $7 extra, Canadian veal. Every time I go, I am happy with my order but wish I had room to try a different one as well. This time, my wife had the Tirolian Jager Schnitzel and I had a schnitzel battered in pretzel and came with a caraway sauce. We absolutely loved it once again. We both paid extra for the veal which raised the price to about $40 each. Worth it in my book. read more

What a wonderful institution. I've been here at least a couple of times. It's a large, themed restaurant, lots of wooden chairs and seating areas. Think hard, think brown, think woven straw baskets, and lots of sausage variations and schnitzel. They probably also have beer and such, but that's outside my wheelhouse. They have two seating areas separated by the bar. The main dining room to the left features the skytrain chugging itself across the room above your heads, hugging the perimeter and tunneling itself through the walls. If you order the pâté that comes covered with lingonberry, then the owner himself, it appears, personally serves it to you, with an erect knife centered in the glass vessel. At the base are tiny bread loaves. Other times, we ordered the Würste mit Kräuter Kartoffelsalat und Sauerkraut, which was basically a sausage sampler where you get to choose 5 off of their list. It comes with sauerkraut and potato salad. Each sausage is cooked differently (e.g. grilled vs boiled or steamed), and each has a varying levels of processed meat: some have hotdog consistency while others have chunky ground meat. Will it be salty? Of course. The Jäger Schnitzel mit Spätzle und gemischtem Salat was less salty, and more or less enjoyable. It's a schnitzel topped with a mushroom sauce. I'd say this is more on the level of comfort food; don't expect any explosions of flavor. Comes with tiny dough piece dumplings and a side of veggies. Their Gulsach Suppe was satisfying enough. Pleasant tasting. Another nice thing about this place are their seasonal and holiday menu, which allow you to come back and experience different dishes. In spring, they often feature very large white asparagus. Though, other than being white and large, I don't believe white asparagus offers anything additional in terms of flavor. They will also offer a selection of game meat--elk, wild boar. I opted for a some white asparagus wrapped in ham served over a salad. The asparagus tasted quite standard, and it came with a large knife. The salad itself was fine and dressed. I'll probably come back here a few more times to try out more meat items on their menu. I would probably focus on elk, pork hock, duck, and some other schnitzel variations in the future. read more

Wowza! This place has been like 8 miles from me for 32 years and I did not even know they existed. I was in the area and saw them and also saw their packed parking lot, and immediately looked on Yelp and saw their rating and said to myself "this is a must try kind of place"! It absolutely IS a must try place, and you will not be disappointed... The ambiance accurately captures a German restaurant and bier giertan. The place transports you out of Plano and to Germany faster than any airline! Our server Jordan did a great job. He had a 16 top in addition to us and yet he handled it all beautifully. The food here is amazing!!! It is 5-star all the way! I got Marktfrau Pilz with Swiss Cheese, which were basically spinach stuffed mushrooms. Amazing!

This review is specifically for the Prinz Regenten Torte. My friend got two to go, including one she so generously blessed me with. HOLY CRUDMUFFINS, y'all. Stop what you are doing right now and go try this cake! I'm not even a huge sweets person, but this chocolate coated cake was divine. It was so fresh and flavorful. One of the best cakes I've ever had in my life. The chocolate cream in between the layers of moist cake was heavenly. It was so delicious chilled, allowing the chocolate coating on the outside to be hard. This will live on in my dreams. These picture in indoor lighting sadly fail to capture the masterpiece that is this cake. I will be bringing my family to this restaurant soon for sure and will update my experience about their in house service at that time, but based on what my friend has shared, this is THE PLACE to get Bavarian food. Nomnomnom. I am confident I will stop by this place just for this cake in my future too. read more

3.5/5 Food 5/5 Service Great vibes for someone who's looking to experience German food. We went on a Thursday evening and we're quickly seated and greeted with free pretzels and mustard. Our foods of choice included the... * Classic sausage plate with mashed potatoes & sauerkraut * Split pea soup (daily soup of the day) * Fried brie and rolls (appetizer) * Apfelstrudel (dessert) The food was overall good! I think our personal preference is eating hearty good once in a while so it suited our cravings for the night. The baked brie was soooo well melted inside and had a lovely crunchy exterior. It went well with the fruits and roll. My partner enjoyed the sausage, mashed potatoes, and sauerkraut altogether (as in each bite had a bit of each). They tasted better together than as individual items. The split pea soup was very smokey in flavor, potentially due to the meat pieces. A bit salty but overall tasty. Lastly, we ended with an apfelstrudel which was delicious. Not having it before, we anticipated a thicker and flakier pastry. It was closer to a crepe in texture instead, which was still good . Great live music and vibes overall! read more
