Lots of friendly, helpful staff. I was very impressed by the effort their people made to be sure we were being taken care of and getting what we wanted. The food was very good and they have a variety of beers (as you would expect!) of German origin. I tried the Munich beer and found it to be very smooth and drinkable. The portions are good. My only issue was with the bratwurst bun/roll. It is too big and too firm to be able to comfortably eat the sandwich without being a pig. I ended up cutting it up with my knife and fork but that defeats the purpose. The atmosphere is very nice, with an outdoor patio area. I would definitely recommend it and I want to come back to try the dessert and some of the other traditional German food. read more

Very fun German restaurant, the drinks 10/10, the service was well timed, seating outside wasn't the best in the summer heat and sharing benches but didn't finish my experience. Very loud though but I drank through it. read more

Came here craving some authentic and strong beer after a day of doing touristy stuff in Atlanta. This place definitely stood out with its big open air second floor and German theming. Once I saw the menu chock full of premium German beer served in massive steins of 1 liter I knew I was going to hang out here for a bit. I had the Paulaner Salvator, it was intense, strong, and after a liter... yep I had a very good and relaxing night. read more

I was blown away eating here. It was my second time visiting, but I haven't been in years, and the food is 10x better than I remember it being. My party of 4, including a toddler, walked in on a Saturday evening around 5:30 pm without a reservation and were seated immediately. We did have to walk up a flight of stairs, and I am unsure if there is an elevator. As soon as we sat down, they started handing out cups of free beer! We also ordered our own and they have a huge selection of German beers on tap, plus cocktails and other bottles of beer. We started the meal with the pretzel appetizer, and wow! It was soft and freshly baked, and it paired perfectly with the mustards. The honey Dijon mustard was my favorite of the three. We then got our entrees, which blew me away. All of the plates of food were massive and so incredibly delicious. It is definitely worth the price. I loved that I could substitute my sauerkraut and potato salad for two other sides, and I am so glad I did. I instead got the Spätzle (pasta) and Rotkohl (red cabbage) with my bratwurst, and I have never been more happy eating German food. Everything was seasoned great, tasty, and importantly, not overly salty. Our waiter was incredibly kind and helpful with the menu. The place is spacious and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I am glad I visited again because I was reminded how delicious this place is. I will definitely be back! If you're in Downtown Atlanta, whether for a game, an event, or to do the tourist attractions, this is the place to go eat. read more

I love coming here. This is the only restaurant I will willingly drive to Atlanta for and pay for parking. The food and service is always great. The decor is so cute. You can sit inside or outside.

Fun time despite no AC! A few appetizers (pretzel, meat and cheese tray and a couple of others) delish beers and the King Ludwig platter fed our large party. What fun! The food was very authentic to what we had in Germany. Everything was really tasty and traditional. It was upper fun to try a little bit of everything and eat family style. Service was great. read more

We stopped here while exploring downtown before the FIFA World Cup game. The food was okay, nothing great but also nothing awful about it. A few things to make sure you know when you go, they include a 20% service fee on your check and still ask for a tip afterwards. This may be normal for a city restaurant but confused us up front. Also, they do family style seating here for smaller groups (this might be just because of the crowds - not sure). They have large picnic tables inside and will seat multiple groups at these. While this didn't really bother us, if you are going for privacy, unless you have a large group, you won't get it here. Outside of this the server was friendly and we got our food quickly. read more

Absolutely amazing place to go grab dinner with friends or a group. Outdoor or indoor alike, genuine German flare all round. I love authentic beer gardens like these having hit up many when living in Italy years back. The original owner Wolfgang comes out to greet people and say hello, I love that! The food in spectacular! Try the Schweinshaxe (crispy pork knuckle) as it is delicious! It feeds 2 easy. The sauerkraut it's served over is on point! The brined red cabbage is equally genuine and tasty! Get a side of that if you want real deal German fare on your lips. No beer on my visit but the options were vast. No loss yet as they had a native German white wine on the wine list I enjoy Gewurztraminer! And it is good! I can't imagine how fun it would be to come back here again with a group during a big soccer game, I'm sure it's a blast! So jealous that Atlanta has this, nothing like it back near home for me in West Texas. read more

I'll admit that my expectations were low when I came here because the Mr. said he'd hang out here to watch soccer games. I thought the food would be subpar. But I enjoyed my first visit! The staff was friendly and we were able to snag spots at the bar even though it was game day for the Atlanta United team. The Reuben Rolls were yummy. And when we said we'd be splitting the Chicken Schnitzel, they brought it out separated for us which I thought was a nice touch (I still stole a few of Mr.'s fries per usual, though). The entree was great and I'd order it again. I'm not a huge beer drinker but I liked what I ordered--even though I didn't pay attention to the sizes! It was all good! read more

If you're craving authentic German food served with a side of lively energy, look no further than Der Biergarten. A group of us stopped in one evening and left wishing we could bottle the atmosphere and take it home. Between us we tried a little bit of everything, schnitzel, spaetzle, bratwurst, knockwurst, pretzels, and of course plenty of beer. Everything was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. I had the Wurstplatten, which was a hearty, satisfying plate showcasing the best of their sausages, and paired it with a Spaten Märzen that was smooth, malty, and absolutely spot-on. The Reuben rolls deserve their own paragraph, crispy on the outside, melty and savory inside, one of the best bar snacks I've ever had. Our server kept the night fun and easygoing, full of personality and incredibly attentive without hovering. Great food, great beer, great energy, exactly what a night out should be. Prost! Unfortunately, we were so caught up with great conversation and food we forgot to take photos...oh well. Next time. read more

My mom and I went here for the Schlagerparty that was being hosted by the Goethe-zentrum Atlanta. We typically don't venture out here due to how far away it is from our town but we make exceptions now and then. The location was a little odd due to the restaurant being on top of another restaurant but we were pleasantly surprised. I ordered two potato pancakes with apple sauce, one sausage, and a apfelstrudel. I thoroughly enjoyed everything. The service was a little slow but accommodating. We'll be returning this Saturday for the next schlagerparty. read more

Back in Atlanta, and you know that means Back at Der Biergarten. Outstanding German food, with friendly and attentive service. Easily walkable from downtown across the beautiful Centennial Park, the only negative I can think of with Der Biergarten is they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. But if you are in town Wed-Sunday, this is a must visit! read more

Positive - food came out in less than 10 minutes, workers were attentive, and food tasted great. Down side - I was dining by myself and they directed me to the bar when I would've preferred a table. read more

Came in for a cold beer after walking around Atlanta most of the day. Huge cold pilsner hit the spot and we ordered the wurstplatten with a knockwurst and bratwurst that came with potato salad and sauerkraut. It was a perfect light lunch to tide us over until dinner. The three types of mustards on the bar were great accomplishments. The bartender was helpful and unobtrusive. read more

This was a wonderful time. We were not doing well in Atlanta and definitely needed a pick up. As I suspected the food was authentic and pleasingly welcome. Of course I over ate. It's a Biergarten. Right? The atmosphere is very reminiscent of a German Biergarten. It's dark with strategic lighting for that intimate experience. Many of our people are overweight and unattractive, so best to dim the lights. lol. The service was excellent. I even taught the server how to cuss in German. I can't discuss the topping-off-of-the-steins; you can trust me when I say they'll take good care of you. Pro Tip: if you have 5 or 6 folks in your party, consider the König Ludwig Platte. For $135 you'll get bratwurst, jägerschnitzel, wiener schnitzel, knackwurst, sauerbraten and a whole roasted chicken. It also includes sauerkraut, potato salad, red cabbage and spätzle (a German pasta). It's the best way to sample all the different flavours and there is something for everyone. Lecker! They have over a dozen drafts. I recommend the Gaffel, Kölsch or the Rothhaus Tanen Zapple, relax, it's a mild Pilsner that you're goona love. 11/24 read more

#42 of 52 (weeks of trying a new restaurant at least once a week) In ATL for business and this was just a few blocks from my hotel. I lived in Germany for 16 years so always eager to get a taste of home. It's set up like a biergarten which I liked. We were seated right away. I ordered a dark beer (can't recall which one) which was really good. For dinner I got the bratwurst plate. You can choose if you want the same two wurst's or one of each. I got one of each and it came with saurkraut and kartoffelsalat (potato salad). I also ordered a side of spatzle as I couldn't pass that up. The food came out pretty quickly. I really enjoyed everything but of course not fully authentic to what I ate when living there. I did enjoy that there was a selection of 3 mustards on the table and they were all pretty flavorful. Not bad if craving a taste of Germany. read more

Der Biergarten sticks with the classic "German biergarten in America" formula - German beers and food. No crazy fusion stuff, becoming a modern tap room, etc. Beers here are ~$11 for .5L & ~$16 for 1L. You see the usual suspects, like Weistephaner, Hofbrau, and Paulaner. Food options include large pretzel, misc wurst, kartofel (potato salad, but German and better), schnitzel, spatzel, etc. read more

Located smack in downtown, the e restaurant is attractive and large. There is no parking and parking nearby runs at $20. We were a large group so we practically got all the dishes in the menu. The large platter meant for 4 to 6 people can actually feed a lot more and it was good. Not a huge fan of the sides but I think it is more due to having an acquired taste than them tasting bad. read more

We came here before a show at State Farm Arena. We are a fan of German food and this did not disappoint. The location is up a legit flight of outdoor stairs. This is not terribly handicapped friendly. The decor inside was fantastic and festive, centered around a large bar. The selection of beers was pretty extensive and authentic. We ordered a nice dark beer. We ordered goulash, weinerschnitzel, and Jaegerschnitzel. Most entrees come with potato salad. They also offer spaetzle with Gruyère which was like a German Mac and cheese. The food was very tasty and the portions were quite generous. The service is okay, considering the customer service dessert that is downtown Atlanta. I would definitely return if coming to the area for an event. read more

I really wanted to love this place because I love German food and don't get it often. We started with the Giant soft pretzel with the cheese spread and potato pancakes. The pretzel was good, but it wasn't soft. It was crunchy on the outside, like it had been quickly warmed in the oven. I loved the cheese spread. The potato pancakes were very flat, which is kind of a weird thing to say, but that made them very crispy all the way through, instead of having that creamy middle that I was craving. They were served with a warm bowl of very creamy, very smooth, hot, spiced applesauce. For my entrée I had the jaeger schnitzel that came with cheesy spaetzli. The gravy and mushrooms were excellent but sparse. The schnitzel itself- pork- was heavily breaded and a bit overcooked. I could taste the burnt-ness of it. I couldn't taste the meat over the breading. The spaetzle was tasty but cold and stuck together. The restaurant itself is charming and cute. Our server was excellent. I just wanted the food to be better. read more

We stopped by for a drink and each ordered a whole liter of beer! They have a variety of German beers available. The service was rather slow at the bar, as we waited to order our drinks and pay. There were two benches outside the restaurant that you'll pass by when walking in. This was where you could hang out and drink, if you're not planning to eat. It felt a bit awkward, like an area where people pass by rather than a place to hang out. read more

Stopped in specifically to hang out and have a beer. They have an amazing beer selection and offer half and full liter beers. The weather was nice so we opted to sit outside at one of the picnic tables. It was a great option since they were not busy and the kids were able to get up and move around a little bit while we relaxed. They were snackish so we decided to order a giant pretzel for them. They did eat the pretzel, but it was super dry and no flavor at all. We didn't order any other food items so can't speak to that, but the service, ambiance, and beers were fantastic. read more

We went here spur of the moment. We don't usually go downtown, so we were surprised by parking prices. We paid $20 for three hours. The lot was a short walk (less than a block) from the restaurant. From an accessibility standpoint, the sidewalk was very uneven, and the restaurant is up a steep flight of steps. The beer list is great and my husband was excited to see some of his favorites on tap and some beers he hasn't been able to find in years. We got the giant pretzel, the sausage appetizer, the stuffed corned beef, and the schnitzel with mushroom sauce. All were great except the schnitzel which was far too salty for me. Service and the kitchen were slow, but I wonder if the place was understaffed. Once we were seated (after a 20 min wait), the server who took our order only came back to deliver the entrees (after about a forty five min wait). However there was a bartender who moved between the bar and our table seamlessly. We're looking forward to going again and trying more of the food. We'll try to sit next to a tv next time. The music was a great playlist, and the vibe was chill. read more

Our 1st night in Atlanta, we walked past this place and didn't go in because we were trying to be good and not drink. Lol. Well, we decided to try it anyway! The very next evening we made our way in and I'm so glad we did! My husband found his favorite beer here! The food is good but the beer was even better and so was the wine. The bartender was awesome and the we fell in love with a massive picture on the wall. We had no complaints and if we're ever back in Hot-lanta, you will find us here. read more

Surprisingly there is a German restaurant so close to Georgia Tech! The restaurant was very big, with two bars and a patio. I only went there once and tried their bratwurst platter. It was just 14 but definitely filling. I also got a side of braised red cabbage. Everything tasted good at first, but many was too salty and oily, especially the bratwurst and the braised red cabbage. So I ended up not finishing all of them. The spatzel looked like small pasta shells but was more chewy. Interestingly it was cooked with cheese, so there had a creamy taste as well. read more

Not sure how I ended up at this place, perhaps due to convenience and a friend of mine looking for somewhere in the vicinity to get something to eat. The space is huge and there are multiple levels, including a rooftop level. As they specialize in German fare, we ordered the Käsespätzle (egg noodles, onions, Emmentaler cheese), Gegrilltes Hähnchen (half rotisserie chicken), and Kartoffeksalat (potato salad) to eat and a glass of wine and some beer to drink. The food was just OK. The chicken was cooked well but could have been seasoned more and the potato salad was slightly mushy and lacked flavor. I was also surprised by how bland the "Mac and cheese" was since it had so much potential by the description. I definitely felt the dishes were overpriced for what they were. The service was also mediocre as our waiter rarely came by to check on us. Overall, there is nothing special about this place but it's an option for something to eat if you're in the area and looking for a casual spot to get some drinks and a bite. read more
