I've always wanted to go to Germany, but after eating at this place, I'm too afraid! Is all the food in Germany as bad as it is here?

Delicious meal and good service. I was here with a pretty sizable group of my family on a Saturday…read moreafternoon. We were seated in the patio in the shade, so it wasn't too insufferably hot on this very sunny, warm day. Jägerschnitzel is my go-to at German restaurants and the one at Kathrin's is one of the best I've had to date. My plate was generous and the jägerschnitzel was tender, the spätzle was too, and the mushroom gravy that topped the jägerschnitzel was just so good. I cleaned my plate. I also got one of their small pretzels to start the meal and loved how soft and chewy it was, and the mustard had a good punch of spice. I thought it was cool that their pretzels are sourced from a local Bavarian factory. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the dressing on the green salad that comes with the jägerschnitzel. I'm really not sure what it was and can't say I've had anything else that tastes like it before, but it was strong and I was good after just a few bites. However, that wasn't enough to ruin the meal for me with as good as that jägerschnitzel was. While I was only here because I was visiting family who live in the area and recommended this place, I'd be happy to return if my family wanted to come back on a future visit.

We had been here for lunch, a while back and really enjoyed it. We went again for lunch and it was…read morea totally different experience. We found that they served the dinner menu all day and there was no lunch menu. We ended up ordering the Oktoberfest platter, which it was made up of five sausages, schnitzel, red cabbage, sauerkraut and french fries. 4 of the 5 sausages were extremely dry and over cooked. Schnitzel was dry and flavorless. It seemed as if they had heated everything up in a microwave. Overly hot and very dry. Happy hour started at 3PM and we arrived at 2:45. That would have given us a discount on food and beer. But we figured oh well, our bad for not realizing. We commented on it to the bartender / server, like "oh darn" and he didn't really react. It was not like we expected to get the happy hour prices, we were just commenting. Then, unfortunately, we overheard him talking to two men at the bar, saying "I waited until 3PM to ring up your beers because I wanted to give you happy hour price." Yikes! Why not us? (Only us and these two gents inside at the time. There was a handful of people at outside tables.) We are disappointed because we had enjoyed them before and they are the closest restaurant to us serving German food. The food and the service that day are not very motivating to return.

Sad to hear that Von Bismarck is closing down -- it's truly one of Reno's great spots. I stopped in…read morewhile visiting from out of town, and it ended up being one of the most memorable meals of the trip. I grabbed a seat at the bar, where the bartender was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. Started off with a Kölsch -- light, crisp, and refreshing, the perfect beer to settle in with. For food, I began with the pretzel and Obatzda cheese spread, which was fantastic. The pretzel was soft, fresh, and warm, and the cheese spread was rich and flavorful -- a perfect combo. For entrées, we ordered the Schweineschnitzel and the Rauch Hänchen. The schnitzel was excellent -- tender, flavorful, and cooked just right -- but the smoked/fried chicken drumsticks completely stole the show. Hands down some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. The breading was perfectly crispy, the chicken was juicy and piping hot, and the smoky flavor came through beautifully. The drizzle of honey sauce on top added just the right touch of sweetness to balance everything out. I savored every bite -- I'd honestly go back just for that chicken. If you haven't been yet, make a point to visit before they close their doors. If I lived in Reno, I'd be there at least once a week. Von Bismarck will definitely be missed.

It is with the greatest overwhelming sadness I read, one of my favorite places, Von Bismarck, will…read moreclose October 26, 2025. If you haven't made the opportunity to connect with this amazing place, come say hello before they say goodbye.
