    Pulled pork  Sad mac.
    Frank D.

    The beer was good. Stop there. I ordered the pulled pork special. I was visiting South Carolina. A state known for barbecue. I had expectations. They were not met. The pork was so salty I couldn't eat it. No smoke. No bbq sauce. Just sad. If the weather is nice maybe just sit in the outdoor area with the locals and drink beer. Or order sausage?!?

    Bierkeller is alright, but I think a tad overrated. It does indeed have a beautiful view of the Columbia Canal, but I'm not sure if that makes up for the expensive prices of their (at-best) mediocre food. The beer was fine as well, but nothing particularly noteworthy. I'd say Bierkeller is pretty average.

    Bratwurst event had been cancelled but decided to come here any way for lunch. We both had the curry wurst with the wheat bear. Quite yummy food and beer. Would we go again - oh yes, its a great place to visit.

    Another fabulous addition to Columbia's restaurant and beer scene. We been here twice recently mainly for the beer but stayed for the German cuisine. The menu has been evolving and getting dialed in for the different times of the day or rather the brunch service. The venue is beautiful with plenty of space.

    I went during the soft opening week, so I did take that into account for the review. Pros: selection of bratwurst, cool venue, great view Cons: (soft opening) limited selection of food - more for snacking or a light meal, limited indoor seating, loud inside, confusing check-out area I ordered Bretz'n (pretzel) with bier cheese, kasekrainer (sausage stuffed with Wisconsin cheese), Currywurst plate (curried sausage on fries covered with curried ketchup), and Weissbier (Bavarian hazy wheat beer). The Weissbier was a bit light for my taste, so we're interested in trying some of the other selections next time! The Currywurst plate was the most interesting - the curried ketchup didn't sound appealing to me at first, but I actually enjoyed the light amount of curry and sweetness to it. My favorite is the käsekrainer though - can't go wrong with cheese-stuffed sausage! The pretzel was a bit stiffer than it looked, and its taste mixed with the bier cheese was a bit salty at first but complimented the currywurst plate well. Because it was their soft opening week, we didn't expect it to be perfect, but the place was popping. The check-out carts were a little confusing because they kind of blended into the background, but the buusers did a great job cleaning up quickly as tables opened. TL;DR - would recommend for the experience.

    We came in town for the Bierkeller Christmas Market and enjoyed lunch outside. They were not serving their full menu but all the menu items being served were absolutely delicious. My daughter and husband both enjoyed the hot cocoa while I enjoyed the mulled wine. They were using window service today and it was pretty quick considering how long the line was. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining, just chilly enough to enjoy the warm beverages.

    Great day to enjoy weisswurst with a pretzel, schnitzel sandwich, and drink some hefeweizen!

    We visited Bierkeller on a Saturday around 12:30. Walking along the outdoor area we found people sitting outside eating and having beer. When you approach the restaurant, you first arrive at the bar for outdoor service with cold brews on tap and a limited menu. They brew the beer themselves! There is also an area out front with water. That's a much needed addition for the heat in August! We opted to go indoors where the air was cool. As you enter, to the left is a cafe style line where you can order beer and then proceed further down to order food. I chose the weisswurst and a pretzel. My husband had the schnitzel sandwich that is served with fries. We enjoy hefeweizen, so we chose that. It's a lighter hefeweizen than what we have in Germany, but the flavor was great! The sound is a little loud in the dining area, but we were told they are already looking into a way to help that. Plenty of seating was available and the staff was friendly and helpful. The weisswurst was DELICIOUS! I loved having weisswurst when we visited Germany, so I was glad to see it was available. My husband said the schnitzel was ok, but it was too dry to be served on a pretzel roll without some type of sauce. He prefers his schnitzel with a sauce or gravy. The interior is decorated nicely and we loved that there is plenty of spots to grab a beer and view the Columbia Canal. All around, there is great potential here as they iron out the usual hiccups of opening a new restaurant. It's worth giving them a try! We look forward to returning when the heat breaks! Prost!

    Food was amazing and big enough to share! Perfect environment for relaxing or for a get together with friends (and kids).

    Great Kölsch beer! The schnitzel sandwich is as big as your head. I'm still trying to get there when they are serving Schweinehaxe.

However, we expected German beer options being that they call themselves a Biergarten. They had none. Absolutely nothing about this place was German. We went on a Sunday late morning and all they had was brunch. That was fine, but the brunch menu was fairly limited. And again, nothing German. While our service was great, it looked like they had two servers for the entire place. We saw two tables of people get up and leave because the weren't being waited on. Again, our experience was good. But maybe consider the negatives before trying.

Service was good and very friendly, portion sizes were extremely generous, and well priced. That said, the food wasn't great. Very greasy all around. I was the only one who didn't thin the sausage was gross. My frittata had a ton of mozzarella cheese which added no flavor but a ton of calories, one bite of the grit cake and it had very little taste but a lot of fat in it. I had brunch here once before a few years ago and I remember there being some healthier options on the menu and I don't remember it being this greasy. J.Ja

At one point, when they first opened, I thought they were pretty good. The customer service is always great on the few and far visits that I have returned recently. The food is not terrible, but the quality is not always great. It's like if you just cared a little more and delivered food to the table while the temperature of the food was still warm, it would actually be better. This particular lunch visit, I ordered the catfish nuggets. They were just okay, and for the price, there's no alignment. I would not order those again if I returned. I ordered the chicken sandwich. My chicken breast was fried until the breading was black. It looked like the grease they were frying in was old, or they left the chicken in too long. The replacement they returned was so small it would have been a chicken tender. Its breading also reflected that the grease was old; however, they didn't burn it that time. I just accepted it to move on with lunch. The fries are good as well as the bacon jam. I hope they are able to turn it around and early start to care about what they are serving.
