The Worst beef stroganoff EVER!!!!…read more Been craving beef stroganoff for months. Finally found a place that serves it. Took us a while to get service. We ordered drinks and the food at the same time. The waiter walked away within five minutes the food was plopped on our table. The beef stroganoff was literally in a cereal / soup bowl that you would have from home. You know that one bowl that has no other matching set to it. It's the only one that's lasted in the cabinet all those years with the chip. It had no presentation no garnish just a plop of porridge in it that just looked horrible. For $25 I was expecting just a little bit more I went with my sister and we were just to hungry at the time so we tried the food and it didn't even taste good. Maybe it was the sour cream that had gone sour is what it tasted like. The meat was kind of sporadically through the stroganoff I got a lot of large pieces of seared tough meat. The kind of beef that been over cooked too long in a pan and it kind of sticks to the pan. No soft moist meat at all. It didn't have any of the flavors of stroganoff It had the weirdest taste. I didn't taste mushroom. I didn't taste sour cream, it kinda had a taste of a hollandaise sauce, tasted kind of lemony. Honestly, I should've sent it back for $25 for that slop of porridge. I couldn't get a waiter back over to us. I had a hunt down salted pepper just kind of spice it up a little bit. It was utterly disgusting I've had good German food and this isn't the place They had a nice courtyard. A guy was playing some polka music, then switched over to Americanized music. It was just a very, very bad experience The food was completely disgusting

Our waitress was very knowledgeable and helped us decide on what to eat. I had the schweinerschnitzel wiener with spatzle and red cabbage. An excellent choice. I also ordered a hofbrau beer. For dessert we shared an apple strudel, which was yummy. Parking is easy and you should always be able to find a spot. If you have a craving for German food, try this place. You won't be disappointed.

We later learned that this place use to be private for the German club only but over the last several years it has opened to the public. This place is a bit off the beaten path with an industrial park. It may not look open from the outside but open every day but Sunday and Monday. The restaurant offers a bar and a full menu of food. We didn't have food but smelled good. The employee at the place was very attentive when we visited. Parking available directly in front. Worth a stop in if you seek German food in Phoenix!

They even have a small marketplace inside, which I thought was a nice touch. It made the whole place feel more authentic. We went on a Wednesday night and were surprised to see a good early dinner crowd. We ordered the sampler plate with the beef cabbage roll, smoked Polish kielbasa, and pierogi with beef and potatoes. It was a great way to try a little bit of everything. The plate was hearty and comforting. We also ordered the beef goulash with roasted potatoes and peas, and this ended up being my favorite. It felt familiar in the best way. Rich, hearty, and well seasoned. I would definitely order that again. Overall, it was a good experience and something different from the usual spots around the area. If you're curious about Eastern European food, this is a great place to start. You don't see this type of cuisine often in Arizona, so I'm glad Mesa has it.

There's something perfect about sitting in their beer garden on an autumn evening with a cold beer served in a proper stein. The beer selection is excellent, the brats are absolutely delicious, and the place has that fun, laid-back German beer-hall energy. Plus, being dog-friendly is a nice touch. It's an easy stop after walking around Old Town. The outdoor beer garden feels like an oasis tucked into the middle of Scottsdale. Great beer, killer bratwurst, welcoming staff, and a relaxed outdoor atmosphere makes the Brat Haus a fantastic way to spend an evening in Old Town. Prost!

You walk in and it really does feel like a lively bier garten. There's many sections, and most of it outdoors. The colors, furnishings, patio games, TVs, music, etc make it feel like a place you could relax for hours Their menu boasts an impressive 28 beers on tap (including imports). They also have a large variety of appetizers and other tasty dishes meals. These dishes are made from scratch and much of the cuisine is European inspired. You'll find a variety of brats, burgers, salads, etc. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. We could have easily have spent many more hours there but there was more of Scottsdale to see Some tips: We went in the spring and it was absolutely gorgeous outside. It's now summer hours and it looks like they're adjusting their schedule accordingly. They are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The rest of the days they're open 12-9pm (they open an hour earlier Saturday and Sunday, and they close an hour early on Sunday) Our server was incredible gracious, attentive, and professional. She gave us recommendations for the area and also food/drink to try You can make reservations, but we just did a walk-in. I think this more applies to larger groups as they're able to accommodate that. They also accommodate private parties (see their website) There appears to be a trivia night every Wednesday at 7pm. There's Girls Night Out Friday specials from 3pm-close. Join the Stein Club (rewards program). Ask your server how to join Explore Old Town Scottsdale either before or after. It's just a short walk away Cheers!!

And the funny thing is, I was only doing takeout! After being treated so warmly just picking up my food, I'm already eager to come back and actually sit down for a meal in the restaurant. I was craving some comforting, homey Eastern European flavors, and Cafe Balkan popped up on Yelp. I'm very happy I followed the recommendation! I ordered the Salma House Special, their take on sour cabbage rolls stuffed with ground beef and rice, served with mashed potatoes and pita. This was absolutely mind-blowing good. Hearty, flavorful, and exactly the kind of home-cooked meal I was craving. I also picked up the chicken noodle soup, which featured tender chicken and fresh herbs. It was light but incredibly comforting and tasted like something made from scratch with care. Of course, I couldn't stop there and also grabbed two bureks, one cheese and one spinach. Both were generous portions, flavorful, and delicious. They made for the perfect savory additions to the meal. But the desserts were the real standouts! I tried two different desserts, and both were unbelievably fresh, creamy, and utterly craveable. They were the kind of desserts where you take one bite and immediately want another. Definitely don't overlook the sweets here!

It has also become a favorite lunch spot with my girlfriend and me. My husband really likes the bureks; however, my favorite is the goulash, which is served with mashed potatoes, and some amazing homemade bread. My friend and I had the lamb gyros, which is typically served with french fries and a drink. We asked for a substitute for the french fries, and were given generous portion of shopska salad. And the desserts are delicious, especially the krempita!!

I have American friends who didn't grow up with this cuisine and have never set foot in the Balkans, yet they adore the food here just like the rest of us! It's so easy to get addicted--especially to the soups and stews (supe, čorbe) and meat dishes (roštilj!). They bake their own breads, including fresh lepinja, so you'll leave with much more bread in your belly than you thought you needed (and feel happy about it for days!). All the traditional delicacies are spot on: ćevapi, ajvar and burek. The staff is wonderfully friendly, and the warm atmosphere inside completely complements its unpretentious (and, honestly, sketchy looking) exterior, which only adds to the charm.

The menu features enough sausage options to think there was a factory out back. There were over 10 varieties to choose from, and after a brief existential crisis, I settled on the two sausages with sauerkraut. They were so good I immediately regretted not ordering a few more links. That's the missing link in my decision-making process. Then came the potato and cheddar pierogies. Naturally, I smothered them in bacon, sautéed onions, and sour cream because moderation is for people eating salads. Each bite tasted like a warm hug from someone's Ukrainian (grandma) who also wanted to make sure you never skipped a meal again. Just when I thought my arteries had filed for divorce, dessert arrived: a cottage cheese crepe with berry sauce that was somehow light, rich, sweet, and ridiculously good all at once. This isn't a place that wastes time trying to impress you with Edison bulbs, reclaimed wood, or a menu that describes water as "locally sourced." They let the food do the talking, and the food basically says, "Sit down, you're too skinny."
