Whenever I'm in Dearborn, we typically brunch and then grab take out or eat leftovers for dinner. So when BF's dad was visiting, we had no idea where to go for dinner! Luckily, we found Bierkeller on Yelp. The menu looked pretty cool and BF's dad is a huge beer person, so we thought it would be perfect. Bierkeller features a ton of large bench tables and you seat yourself. Once you've been seated, someone will come and drop off menus/take your order. We arrived during Happy Hour since we were having lupper on a Thursday evening. Hurray for half price appetizers! I saw that they had Kona Big Wave Golden Ale on draft, so I went for it. A draft only cost $3.50! In NYC, you'd be lucky if you can grab a $5 beer for happy hour. We opted to split three things - Soft Pretzel Sticks with beer cheese and whole seed mustard - Caesar Salad - Wurstchen Fest - sliced bratwurst, knockwurst, and kielbasa with sauerkraut, red cabbage, onions, Dijon mustard, and whole seed mustard The soft pretzel sticks were my favorite - I love a good soft, warm pretzel with some beer cheese. I also really enjoyed the sausage fest. I think the kielbasa was my favorite, followed by the bratwurst. This plate is HUGE, so definitely share it. Service was friendly and attentive. We had a great time at Bierkeller and would definitely recommend it to any beer lover. Their beer menu is long and features a ton of really good drafts. read more

Staff is friendly, service is always great and prompt. Chef Eric is doing his thing with the seasonal menus and tasting menu nights. It's a super friendly atmosphere and everyone makes you feel like you've been friends forever read more

Update for COVID-19: This place has always been top notch. We've never experienced bad service or anything and that didn't change with Covid. We went for dinner on a Wednesday night and had plenty of outdoor seating in their added patio space in the parking lot. They use QR code's now for the menu which is great and they're right on the table so easy to check out the beer list throughout the dinner. The staff all wore masks. The food is great, my favorite is the fo' schnitzel with sweet potato fries and the watermelon sour was delicious. Thanks for a safe and delicious date night! read more

Places like this remind why Downriver has shit for taste! Our palette's must be burned from generations of factory dust, poison river water and toxic land, as this place wouldn't last a week where people actually care about food, service, cleanliness and total experience. Sometimes I really hate Downriver! Food is meh. Service is meh. Everything is meh!!! read more

Our first time here. We came in just before 5 and the bar started filling up. Really cute place, lots of beer choices. I'm not a beer drinker and started with a reisling wine. My husband visited the men's room and saw a bloody Mary menu on the wall so I switched and had a spicy bloody Mary. It was good without too much spice. We started with the Tour de Keller appetizer which have 2 of everything on the menu with many different dipping sauces. I didn't care for the brushetta, the bread was too chewy. All of the other items were very good. My husband had the chicken schnitzel with spaetzel and sweet potato fries. He said that it was good but disappointed that a German restaurant didn't offer German potato salad. I had the chicken paprikash soup. This was very disappointing for me as I grew up eating paprikash. The soup lacked flavor,chicken and spaetzel. Maybe they try to offer too many different food choices to perfect the German offering. read more

I personally only enjoyed some beers (with solid selection), I visited with friends that did order several food options worth commenting on and definitely sharing a review. The scotch eggs (hardboiled eggs made into a sausage ball) looked oh so good. Also apparently great was the chicken paprikash bowl and the fo schnitzel (think crispy fried chicken) sandwich. Lastly, garlic pepper season fries - they got two more orders of it! Solid drinks options! Multiple draft choices with 16, 23 and 34oz sizes but also had various cocktails and other drink options readily available and all quickly served! Definitely worth checking out if you want German style food or a good beer garden! read more

The experience here was great! The staff was so nice and attentive. It was very busy when we arrived so we sat at the bar and the bartender was so courteous and sweet! The beer selection is top notch as well. The only problem I had was lack of flavor in the food. My fiancé and I both order the schnitzel and it literally had no flavor at all. The breading was perfectly crunchy though! The mashed potatoes were pretty tasty though! We will be back to try it again. They also had a private event going on in their separate room, so if you're looking for something like that, look here! read more

The pub is very well decorated, and easy to find. Our waitress was amazing, I wish I remembered her name. I got the guten Moran, pretzel bun was nice but it was SO greasy. The egg wasn't the problem, when I picked it up it leaked so much I had trouble eating it. My onion rings were good. My fiancé had the salmon Benny, he didn't like it at all. He said the salmon was slimy, and he didn't eat more than a few bites. It upset his stomach too. His fries were ok. They had a breakfast buffet and I got my Bloody Mary there, you make your own And they give you the vodka. They had spaten beer which is my fiancé's favorite And why we chose to have brunch here. Service was great, but my food was not good and I don't like to leave bad reviews but I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Bierkeller is the perfect neighborhood bar. Good drinks, good menu, and fun servers. You know what to expect when going and that is usually a fun time. They do an excellent job at keeping things fresh and entertaining so you look forward to going back. read more

Always love coming here. The waitresses remember you and are always very friendly. Easy place to walk into and not feel out of place. The monthly drinks aren't always hitters but like I said it's an all around good place to relax and have a couple drinks. The food is also stellar. read more

The food was great and the service was excellent. For our first time, it was a great experience. We will be coming back.

I ate lunch here with friends this weekend. The first time I'd been here. My one complaint: the music was ridiculously loud. BUT... the food was outstanding, prices reasonable. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. There are plenty of options on the menu ... German and non-ethnic. I can tell you I highly recommend the schnitzel, paprikash soup, spaetzle, and kellarcake! Yup. That's everything we ordered. Loved it all! read more

The food has gone downhill. I quit going there a while ago. Service is good. The ambiance is good!

Great staff/management and the food is to die for. Super nice atmosphere! I highly recommend you check this little gem out!

Bierkeller has become my favorite bar and restaurant over the last year. They have excellent prices and selections on draft and bottle beers. They oftentimes feature tap takeovers, which are fun if you want to try multiple offerings from the same brewery. Bartenders are always outgoing and willing to let you sample a beer before committing to a pint. I really dig their food. They have a sandwich called "Fo' Schnitzel", which is a schnitzel with cheese, delish homemade sauce and a pretzel bun. To die for. I also love their pretzel sticks, Kellercakes (fried rounds of potato goodness) and the cupcake of the day. If lunch is more your speed, give them a visit. For $7, you get a good-sized hot sandwich, homemade chips and soup or salad. Excellent deal. Fridays feature live music. This can be hit or miss, as some singers are better than others. It's usually very loud on Friday and Saturday nights, so if you like a quiet environment, skip those evenings. Live music starts around 9, so sometimes I get there around 7 and leave if the musicians aren't my fave. Lately, they've been doing really fun movie nights, where they put a movie on all the TVs, and have drink specials, trivia and costume contests. I love that the owners are always thinking of new crowd-pleasing events to host. Bierkeller is like the "Cheers" of Taylor. You come in as a stranger but you leave as a friend. read more

When the U.S. Army does a better job on Schnitzel than your "German" restaurant, you have failed. Plus it was less than half the size it's supposed to be. You get two stars because the bartender was friendly. read more

The outside of this place is very decieving. The inside is very homey and nice. They even have a patio area that they open up depend on the weather. They have plenty of seating and even provide private party services. We came here to have a drink after a long day at work. They have a drink menu that feature craft beers. Also, they have specials depending on the day of the week. They even have people perform sometimes. The beer drinks r price reasonably. We went when the place was not busy and had amazing, tentative service. The food was alright. We had the scotch egg and weirstchen fest. Both were alright, nothing to brag about. Overall, I would go back for drinks and maybe something munch on. I would maybe try an entree as well. read more

Nice staff. Accommodating for special menu requests. The German tacos were different and good. Chips and dip were solid.

So left the city, and headed to Taylor for dinner. German joint Bierkeller for dinner and a couple beers. Jessica was my bartender/server, and was absolutely amazing. Now to the food and drink. I had a 34oz Franziskaner Heffe-Weiss ($8), which lasted the entire meal. Started with their chips and house made French onion dip, awesome!! Then I had the Veal Schnitzel topped with an onion gravy, served with a mushroom spaetzel, and veggie, which happened to be a seasoned sautéed brussel sprout. Every bit as good as eating in Germany. Definitely recommend this place for dinner, or just to hang out. read more

Was seated at a dirty table. The waitress took my drink order and said "let me know if you want any food" while walking away, which I did. Couldn't get her attention for 20 minutes and had to ask the bartender who was behind the bar to take my food order. Terrible service. read more

We came here just to try the food and the food was okay. I didn't think the Keller cakes had much flavor and were greasy and the bacon wrapped kielbasa had almost burned bacon. The pretzels were soft and the cheese sauce tasted good and was not a crappy nacho cheese so that was nice. My boyfriend liked the Keller cakes though and he had a chicken tender which had maybe a Pinko crust which he thought was good. However the staff was super nice and on point with service. It is a bar so maybe many consider the food as secondary. read more

We came here for lunch and we're not disappointed. The food was great and they had a decent beer selection. There were several Michigan Brees and some German ones. I was hoping for a dunkel but didn't see it on the menu. Most of the German beers we're hefes or a form of wheat beer. Prices were about right for the beer and the food. I think our lunch with 1 round of larger beers cost around $35 after tax and tip. The only issue we had were flies. Its hard to control flies, but there were an aweful lot. I think some fly tape would go a long way. They offer a few items involving syrup so maybe a good cleaning more regularly would help. I'm not sure. I was swatting every few seconds to keep them off our food. Other than that. It was a great visit. I will be back in the winter when they are insect free. read more

Delicious food and good atmosphere. Staff is friendly and the beer selection is great.

Great food and great service. Friendly staff and wide range of options for food and drinks. Lots of beers on tap.

Had a really good experience here with some friends! Great atmosphere for an after-work hang out and just relaxing with friends Our table tried a few things and I recommend the soft pretzels comes with stone ground mustard and also a side of cheese sauce for dipping. You also must get the homemade chips with French onion dip! I also tried some of their chicken paprikas soup and it was delish. A huge beverage menu with domestic and international options. This is a great spot downriver for food and drinks. read more

What an awful experience! This is what they served me. Under cooked chicken...twice. These pics are after they put it in the fryer when I complained that it was not done the first time. I still received under cooked chicken. Highly doubt I'll ever go back. read more

This place is everything laid back people would want in a bar...good drinks, cozy atmosphere, delicious food. We were drawn here by the German fare and weren't disappointed. The spaetzle, especially, was amazing. I'm going to adapt the sauce for my pierogis at home. The bartender was friendly and attentive, too, and the patrons chill and good-natured. Check this place out! read more
