    Bixenburger
    Nathan P.

    Came here for the burger, excited to have a decent restaurant in Germantown! Smashburger (Bixenburger) was great, huge patties with great char. Got the double but the single would have been enough. Loved the caramelized onions and beer cheese toppings. Fries also very good and so were the cheese curds. Easy to say it's the best burger in Germantown.

    Doubled double smash burgers.

    I've never had a burger like this before. I'm not gonna lie, it knocked my socks off. Hats off to the chef. Hats off to the bartender/waitress, Chloe. She is a great employee for you guys. She was very helpful and informative on everything from beer to food selection. The curds and fries were hot and delicious. The burgers were outstanding from the bun, to the meat, to the sauces. They keep it simple, yet the technique of cooking the meat is outstanding. The burgers came out hot, juicy, and with a crispy lace. I can't wait to try other menu items in the future. Keep up the great work!

    This small tavern is doing big things with their food. I got the smash burger and it was absolutely awesome! The cheese curds were a great accompaniment to the burger and the fried pickles were very tasty. I will say, check their Facebook page for hours as they are a small place with minimal staff and have had to close on occasion. I am absolutely coming back here!!

    Quaint, friendly old town feel . Nice server, burgers were good. Home made chips were a nice change. Next time we will try the fish fry.

    I was excited to see a new spot in Germantown and even more excited after our meal. Food was fantastic. Dads a big burger snob and he thought their burger was top 10 on his list. Cheese curds were great. Service was quick and they had a happy hour special which was nice. Place is extremely clean with plenty of space and arcade games. We will be back!

    This is a newish place (2022) on the outskirts of Germantown, just North of Menomonee Falls and also borders Richfield. This place and the menu underwent a renovation last year, and they did a wonderful job! Also; according to a few residents of Hubertus that I ran into at another place in the area, this is the tavern to be at for a good bite to eat and a cold drink (I agree). The dinning and bar area is nice and spacious, and the outside deck is probably a go-to place to enjoy a nice afternoon and/or evening meal or during pre-game and post game time traditions. This Sunday was our first visit, and could very likely end up being a go-to on the weekends for lunch or an early dinner. On this visit, I had ordered the Flammkuchen and my wife ordered the Chicken Doner Kebab wrap. As you can tell from the picture, the chicken doner wrap was huge and seasoned awesomely; in both the chicken and doner wrap, nice touch. This also comes with in-house made tzatziki sauce, which was so darn good. With this dish, her side order was their homemade chips, which were tasty, also paired with their french onion dip, such a nice pairing. I had ordered their Flammkuchen as my lunch, which was their own take on this dish, and they did a great job on making this unique from the classic and just as delicious. Is Bixenberg Tavern a 5 Star review? Yes, it is!! I hope that if you read this, that you will also leave star filled review. We are looking forward to our next visit, and to update to mark Bixenberg Tavern as a 5 star place to check out. See you there!

    Absolutely delicious. Ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with cheese curds and a double jalapeño burger with chips. Food was so good. Buns were soft and Branded with a B. Burger patties were homemade. Chips were delicious. Cheese curds were fantastic!! Clientele was really engaging and congenial. Staff was super accommodating. Chloe and Tim were super friendly and kind. A great addition to Germantown! Looking forward to returning!!! Thank you!!

    Smash burgers are top notch!  Especially with the jalepeños.(and bacon!)

It was definitely superior quality. It's served over a block of ice so if you want it up, you may want to mention that when ordering. It tasted more like a classic old fashioned than a Manhattan but I'm not complaining because I love classic bourbon old fashioned cocktails as well. For a starter we got their much raved about bang bang shrimp. It came on a bed of greens and was good! For my dinner I got their seasonal chicken and dumpling soup and a side salad. Both were solid. The salad was definitely more ample than I was expecting. My husband got some sort of salmon alfredo pasta dish that came with roasted asparagus mixed in. I had a bite and he ordered well--it was decadently buttery and delicious. The service was super kind throughout our stay. Our server checked in on us regularly without being overbearing. Get to it!

    A big disappointment. Plenty of effort in making fancy, embossed menus for special events like…read morevalentines day, but little or no effort in German food. When is a "Traditional Bratwurst" served with deep fried potatoes. It's all show, expensive show. They push the beer and drinks, sure, it's German themed. What apparently is not understand by the owners is that in order to consume alcoholic beverages one needs a good meal in them. Like a broth soup! Does this place even know how to make soup without cheese? What sauerkraut? Is sauerkraut German? Apparently not in Germantown. And the multiple plug--in air fresheners in the bathroom oozing out the fake covering odor onto the people on the bar stools and sitting at the tables, covering whatever real scent of food is left. The kitchen is in the building next door - Relish Supper club. In a time when Germantown really needs a place for quality German food, the owners (who also own Stillery in Richfield and some other place) give us a supper club. RIP German heritage in Germantown. The best place for German food in all of Milwaukee is still at 59th & National, not in Germantown.

    We decided at the last minute to go out for dinner on a Saturday night, which as you can imagine…read morecan be tricky. We tried a couple of other places, but they had very long waits, including Relish. We couldn't get in, but we saw a couple of people go next door to Von Rothenburg, so we decided to tag along, hoping that there might be something there. So glad that we did. Both Relish and Von Rothenburg are owned by the Angel's Share Hospitality Group. It's a German-style pub with very distinctive German-style architecture. When you walk in, there is a large bar. Most of the bar stools were filled. There is a dining room adjacent to the bar and another one upstairs. Most of the tables have plain wooden tops, a good fit for the pub atmosphere. The walls are stucco and trimmed in oak. The place has a relaxed feel to it. We took an open table, and in several minutes our bartender/server greeted us, gave us menus, and took our drink orders. We got a couple of small glasses. They had my favorite, Stiegl Grapefruit Radler. The food menu is not especially German and has a wide variety of items, ranging from burgers, pasta, seafood, and fish frys (referred to as Relish Cod/Perch Fry, which is a nod to the Relish restaurant next door). They had several specials, including a Herb-Crusted Rack of Lamb, and being a fan of lamb, I had to order that. We also got a Clubhouse Burger, ordered medium rare. It took a bit for the food, and our server kept us updated (and apologized) on the progress. To me, it didn't seem that long of a wait, but I appreciated the earnestness of our server, which was demonstrated the entire evening (thanks, Tanner). While I was waiting I had my side salad. It was good, with the surprise of some avocado. When it arrived, both meals were hot, well presented, and good portions. The lamb was served a perfect medium rare. The flavors from the herbs were outstanding. Lots of rosemary, and the au jus was rich and flavorful. The accompanying Sweet Potato Gratin was just okay. Not sure if the potatoes were cooked enough for my liking. The pile of potatoes had a Gruyère-like cheese that I didn't feel was a good complement. The burger was very good, in spite of being overcooked to medium well. The side of fries was hot and very tasty. Overall, a good meal and a place that we would likely return to. They have a huge patio in the rear, and I'm sure it's a lively beer garden during nice weather.

I got the Head Sawyer (steak, eggs, and hash browns) with the double tenderloin option, one kid got chicken strips with fries, and the other got a kids pizza. We also shared a piece of coffee cake. I don't think my youngest was super enthused by his pizza, mostly because it's not memorable to him. My oldest liked his chicken strips and fries, but I don't know if he's come across chicken strips and fries that he doesn't like, so take that with a grain of salt. The hash browns were ok. They were just fried potato with no other flavor or add-in like onions. I added salt and pepper because they needed it. I got American cheese on the scrambled eggs and they were as you'd expect. The tenderloin was fine. Obviously not as good of a cut as New York strip or ribeye would have been. I ended up sharing a portion of it with my oldest and he ate it without complaints too. The star of our visit was the coffee cake. It was warm and soft and in every sense perfect. Sharing is carrying and I'm fine sharing with my kids most of the time, but man, I wish it had been all for me.
