One of the few (if not only) restaurants serving Czech/German cuisine on this side of the Caldecott Tunnel! The food here is consistent and so delicious, including the Moravian roast, sauerbraten, Hungarian goulash, meat loaf, fried cheese, roasted duck and more! The potato salad here is the best I've ever had as well! Please support this local establishment, especially during these tough times. They are open for takeout and outdoor dining! read more

Great service, drinks, food! Loved the fried green beans and Brussel sprouts. The chicken and short rib scrumptious. I preferred the short rib over the chicken. The sauce that came with the Chicken didn't do it any favors. It was better without. I wished the chicken and cornbread was served with some honey! Maybe next time I'll bring my own spicy honey. For dessert the butterscotch pear and S'more chocolate ganache cake. Both yummy and left our table divided on which was the best. The only complaint about the s'more desert was the density of the ganache. Maybe because it was on the colder side but we had a rather rough time cutting to serve. Eating it was not an issue and I enjoyed the texture too. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Love the patio and the heaters too! read more

I had a hankering for German food. The Wiener schnitzel was good. The spaetzle is a little different than I'm used to, but still yummy. It is a cozy location. read more

Was very delighted to stumble across a German restaurant in concord. I wanted to find a local business that offered outdoor dining, something new. Ive eaten a lot of great food all over Germany during my travels there and this place was good!! The schnitzel was tender, juicy, crispy and not oily at all. It was on top of a mushroom cream sauce that didn't over power the schnitzel, it complimented it perfectly. It was such a huge portion of meat, I couldn't even finish it and barely put a dent in it (and i was starving!). The entree came with either soup or salad and I chose soup. The chicken potato soup was perfect to eat on a cold rainy night and was very yummy with the complimentary bread and butter. I'm excited to eat there again to try the other items on the menu. I was sad that they didn't have mashed potato's because that's what I wanted to eat. It's located in a strip mall type place across from grocery outlet, next to a Peruvian chicken restaurant. There's a tent in front of their entrance so we didn't see it when we first drove in. Outdoor dining is an option and at night it's dark but they bring out a little lamp for the table. Jaeger SchnitzelJaeger SchnitzelNo straws btw. I'm so happy we found this place (thanks to Yelp and the reviews!) and that it's in my own backyard. Please support local businesses especially when they serve delicious eats! Enjoy! read more

Please, this restaurant was so unique, but the owner is not present. Service is horrible, I hope the owner will come back and be present. Food was okay but the service was way below average. I hope next time we come back things will change. I loved this place before it changed ownership. read more

Nice European cuisine in Concord. We had three dishes: the Weiner Schnitzel, Jaeger Schnitzel, and Bavarian meatloaf. The Weiner Schnitzel had a nice crunchy breading and the pork was juicy and tender. It came with a side order of potato salad, which was flavorful. The Jaeger Schnitzel was my particularly favorite. I loved the crunchy breading and the tender and juicy pork, but the mushroom sauce gave the pork cutlet an absolute amazing dimension of flavor. Squeezed a little bit of lemon to balance out the saltiness of the pork cutlet. This dish was served with a side of potato salad, pickled cabbage, and spaetzle. The potato salad was flavorful, loved the nice acidity and creaminess of the potatoes. The red cabbage was sweet and had a nice texture. The spaetzle were little dumplings that looked like some kind of pasta with bacon. It reminded me of macaroni. It had a nice flavor with the bacon. The Bavarian meatloaf was okay. It was a little bit dry, but the mushroom sauce helped keep it moist and flavorful. It was served with sauerkraut and red cabbage. It also came with a green salad, which was okay. We were served bread before our meal. The bread was nice to begin our dinner. The server was nice and efficient. read more

Meh server was very nice but the food really didn't hit the mark. I ordered the Pork Roast and the majority of it was all fat. The entrees we had were $29 and $28 (Goulash) which I found a bit pricey. Googled it, tried it and considered it a one time only visit. read more

DJ's Bistro - Jaeger schnitlze with spaztle and a Spaten!!! Free bread and butter !! - German Near Me - Concord, California

If you have been following my reviews, you know that I host a monthly dinner of 24 to 36 people as part of the activities for SIR's, a retired mens' group. We have been coming here for many years and it is very popular among our members and their wives. The food is good as is the service and the portions are humongous. It's not gourmet quality but it's healthy, nicely prepared and presented at really affordable prices. And, we always felt welcome. For this place, I limit the size of the group to 20 because of the size of the place. I always get the Weiner Schnitzel and my wife always gets the Jaeger Schnitzel. Those two items are the most popular in our group. Also popular are the Duck and Grilled Brats. On our last visit last week, we had 19 folks. The portions are still ridiculously huge! And the prices are still a real bargain. On the Schnitzels, a single order (1 large cutlet) is just $12.95 and the double order (2 large cutlets) is just $15.95. I had the Weiner Schitzel, ate half of it and brought the rest home for at least another meal or two. Ditto for my wife. So, the price is a real bargain. I've noticed that the quality of the food has slipped just a little. And this time, they didn't give us individual checks for each couple as I have requested and they have done over the many years. Hence, the 4-star rating instead of 5 stars. jq read more

DJ's Bistro - A full order of Weiner Schnitzel is just $12.95 and a double order (2 huge cutlets) is just $15.95. - German Near Me - Concord, California

This choice was definitely by random but I'm glad I gave it a try. My friends and I were going to meet up in Martinez for an event but we stopped here for lunch before hand. I love Oktoberfest, bratwurst, sauerkraut, and German beers, but that's basically the most I know about their food/culture. Environment - Very nice and cozy. The lady who was our waitress (possibly the owner?) was very nice and friendly. Food - The bread was AMAZING. We went to town on the bread and butter that comes out in the beginning. Friends who normally doesn't like carbs or breads ate double than they normally would. We got the Jagerschnitzel, Bavarian Chicken Breast, Pork Loins Special, and German Goulash special. Out of everything, I enjoyed the Bavarian Chicken Breast the most. It was breaded and fried. It came with a side of potato salad and pickled cabbage. The chicken was moist and tender. The Jagerschnitzel I would rate it as second best, then the German Goulash Special. The German Goulash Special was basically like a stewed beef with lots of sauce. The Pork Loins Special was dry in some parts - overall very underwhelming. It came with a side of very plain mashed potatoes. Portions are definitely nice and hearty. We all left with bellies big and full. Overall - I would come back if I was ever in town again. I still have some leftovers that I'm ready to finish in the fridge. Price was very decent for the portion of food. read more

Mark G 3/12/24 Me and my family have been going to the place for over 20 years and never had the service, or food that was as bad as last nights, when Jerry was the owner. We been back to the place about 10 times since the new owners have taken over and the service and food has never been the same as Jerry. i must say after last night it will be a long time before We go back. I would not recommend this place to any one read more

I grabbed two to go dishes from this restaurant while I was in the area. I have no German restaurants anywhere near where I live and my husband and I really enjoy this cuisine so I picked up the daily special which was a roasted pork knuckle, and I also ordered the pork cutlets. I waited a while for both orders to come out and received bags of bags of food! They really give you a lot for your money. I got bread, salad, soup, two entrees and two to three sides with each entree. We were able to dine on these two entrees for two nights and into a third! Everything was nice and we were happy to get a taste of Germany! read more

Review #146 - 2019 Perhaps the fact that I've never had German food before made this meal a little underwhelming & all the positive reviews set my expectations a little too high. My stepdad is German & he doesn't get to go out much so I was hoping to surprise him with a great German meal for Father's Day. I called in the previous day to RSVP for a table for 6 at 8 PM. We showed up about 10 minutes early on Sunday & there were quite a few people waiting out front so I assumed that the place was crowded; but luckily, it was just everyone getting ready to leave. We walked in and everyone, including the staffs, stared at us oddly like we were some type of strange looking people. No "hello!" or "how can we help you?" After a few minutes we told the waitress that we had a reservation & she sat us. Unfortunately, my stepdad couldn't make it because he had eye surgery a few days before so we ended up ordering a jaeger schnitzel take out for him, which he never commented on, so I assume he didn't really enjoy it too much. My nephew got the jaeger schnitzel to eat there & I got to taste a bite & didn't think it was anything special. Just very bland breaded fried pork loin. My older brother & I both ordered their special, the pork knee, which was also very bland and had lots of fat. I probably ate about a third of it & ended up with a major headache later that evening. The portion was actually very generous so my brother & I should've just shared an order instead of ordering two & not finishing either one. My son had the duckling, which was honestly the best dish out of all our orders. It at least had some flavor. It definitely wasn't the best duck I've had, but still edible. The soup of the day was some type of beef ball soup & it too was bland so I couldn't even get my 3-year old to help me eat it. Food wasn't very good, service was just so-so and the general cleanliness was questionable. read more

DJ's Bistro - Never Again - German Near Me - Concord, California

DJ's Bistro... the wife and I heard of this place when we first moved to the East Bay two years ago. However, I think the name of the restaurant is what kept us from coming since it hardly sounds German. In fact, it kind of sounds dare-I-say-it(?) French. I have a suggestion, they need to throw an ümlaut into their name for däs aüthenticity. DJ's Biströ. We came in on a Sunday and was served by the loveliest German lady. Turns out her name is Hännäh and she is one half of the husband/wife tandem that runs the restaurant. She is definitely the one captaining this ship. Maybe the restaurant should be called Hännäh's Biströ? Her husband is Jerry and he is Czech. She is the Spaten and he is the Pilsner Urquell. Ironically, that is how we ordered our draft beers. Growing up in SoCal and seeing all the A-framed Wienerschnitzel hot dog chains, I always thought wienerschnitzel meant hot dog because you know, wieners!!! Turns out that wiener is actually a German term for "of Vienna" and somehow what should have been Viener became wiener. I guess this makes some of the best classical music "wiener" music lol. Back to the topic, a true wiener schnitzel happens to be a flat piece of meat cutlet that is breaded and fried. DJ's Biströ does their schnitzels German-style by using pork instead of veal. We ordered the jager schnitzel which is served with a mushroom gravy, pickled cabbage, and spaetzle. The minute Jerry brought it out, I was like wow, schnitzel looks like Japanese tonkatsu! The gravy and red cabbage complimented the schnitzel and the spaetzle, which is egg noodle cooked with bacon fat, was really good. We also ordered the Hungarian goulash, which were these juicy beef chunks topped with a tangy paprika sauce and served with spaetzle that was very savory. While the restaurant is true to its biströ name and is small, the portions on the other hand are über hüge. Also, if Hännäh is there, be prepared for a vergnügen experience. Seriously, she was very personable and made us feel süper welcome. As we left she told us she'd see us next time, and yes, we will see her again to explore the rest of their menu. * They are closed on Mondays. * DJ's Biströ is hidden away in the blue strip mall with Tom's Crab Shack, a Mexican restaurant, and Laundromat. * Although they only have three beers on tap, they are classics and cheap at $5. Spaten, Pilsner Urquell, and Erdinger Weissbier. * Jager schnitzel is not made with jagermeister. Jager means "hunter" in German and I guess hunters liked mushroom gravy (the irony)... Jagermeister btw translates into master hunter. read more

Came here today for a quick lunch with the clients, based upon their recommendation. I am so glad we asked for their recommendation, as I probably would never have tried DJ's Bistro otherwise. Unassuming looking establishment from both outside and within, this place has clearly been around for awhile and hides a locally known secret of delicious German food! During lunch when we arrived, this place was half empty, which worked out in our favor as there was only 1 lady acting as both the hostess and waitress for the entire establishment. The vast majority of us at the table ordered the Jaeger Schnitzel, which was a great choice and definitely satisfied our hungry cravings! You have your choice of the regular Schnitzel, which comes with 2 or 3 slabs of schnitzel, or the single Schnitzel. As well as your choice of either the potato salad, or the Jaeger (spaetzle and red cabbage). One of the team members ordered the chicken schnitzel, which did not have a single option, and when it arrived, it was a massive plate that had a 4 pieces of schnitzel on it. Suffice it to say, she had enough leftover for dinner. Don't let the dated décor fool you, this place is a well hidden local secret that is well worth a visit! read more

I live in Los Angeles for my birthday. I decided to drive to Northern California to see some family and to have some German food at my favorite German or European restaurant in California. I've been here many times before the service has always been horrendous. The food has always been excellent. The schnitzel is fantastic. Potato salad is fantastic Soups fantastic and beer fantastic, so why am I going to go ahead and give a very strong negative review unfortunately service service service made a reservation arrived early for my reservation. Waited patiently with my group of friends. We were seated and sat. Waiting for over 20 minutes for anyone to come near us and take a drink order we placed a drink order and ordered our food didn't see anything for over 20 minutes, so this makes 40 minutes at a table no drinks no bread The drinks were brought to our table and the person who brought Drinks told us they didn't work in the restaurant, but they were helping out At this time we've been seated for over 45 minutes. No sign of food sat waiting patiently for another 20 minutes then I asked the rude waitress where a food wars was told it's coming. I asked three more times in the following 20 minutes was told rudely each time it's coming now we're almost 1 hour and 30 minutes Sitting at the table no bread no food the final time I asked the waitress I was told it's coming I said OK we will cancel the order DAN I got some response from her saying well let me check let's see what happening I told her no it's been an hour and 30 minutes we have no food we are leaving We asked for the check to pay for our drinks and left. This was horrendous treatment of a customer the owner was in the restaurant, but didn't feel they should come and apologize a couple of questions. Why seat to people if you can't serve them another question is the price increase is extraordinary Schnitzel is $25. Now this is a really good portion two pieces and it comes with a side again I can't complain about the food which is excellent. The price is ludicrous if used to be 16 or $17 about a year ago they've increased it to $25 on the worst service I've ever experienced. I have to say there is a lady who works there who is a slightly older European lady who's super kind and friendly, I've never had an issue with this nice person but I've always had an issue with the waitress working on Saturday who happens to be Asian and I wanna point out my wife and son are Asian horrible horrible service it saddens me I will never go back to this restaurant again I pretty much drove from LA to have a birthday dinner there and I was treated like shit read more

Complimentary fresh soft bread with butter was brought to the table quickly. We ordered the Wiener Schnitzel, a Breaded Pork Loin served Potato Salad. The patties of schnitzel were very large, tender, and delivered hot. We asked for a side of gravy which added to flavor. There is bar with seating serving beers and wines. There is a TV which was playing sports above the bar. Reservations may be made on their website. Service was fine. The seating area and bathroom were clean. Decor could use an update. Parking was easy since the restaurant is located in a shopping center. read more

Terrible experience. Don't come here if you want to have a nice dinner. They first brought out 1 of our entrees significantly before the rest of our order (an appetizer and another entree). We basically sat and stared at it for at least 30 minutes waiting before we decided to ask about the appetizer and other entree . This did not go well. The owner got very defensive, began yelling at us and made a huge scene. At one point she screamed "IF YOU DON'T TIP, DON'T COME BACK HERE!" Completely inappropriate. read more

I was visiting a friend in Concord and we decided this might be a good late afternoon place to take her and her baby out for a meal where we could eat and visit. (likely non-busy time and quiet place.) Here's the thing - if this place were in NYC, the rude service would be part of the show..but this is sleepy Concord - so I could not wrap my brain around it. One of my friends does not eat red meat, (not so strange) but she was asking if the soup was made with chicken or beef stock "I don't know" (not "let me find out") - and did the sauce with the chicken cutlet - was that beef based? "don't get it" she said - then she asked about the spatzel and the potato salad...after much back and forth it came out that those also had meat in them. There were 3 of us at the table two of us ordered a glass of wine, she asked my husband what he wanted - I chimed in that I also wanted a glass of water, and she ran away and my husband never got his order out...Just kinda rude and pushy and weird!! The pork cutlet and the Hungarian goulash were quite tasty. and the fried cheese at the next table - Oh man - wish we had ordered that to share!!! You can tell they prep everything fresh - periodically you could hear the kitchen pounding out another cutlet. Just wish this place was a little nicer to deal with. read more

I first here years ago when they were featured on check please Bay Area the TV show and then they were excellent. My family is German we eat most of the items on this menu many times a year. I had a ton of friends with me this time. We were the only table in the restaurant seven of us and the server seemed like he couldn't wait to get home yet somehow managed to have slow service. I ordered the sauerbraten and I know it said Czechoslovakian sauerbraten not German sauerbraten but I mean you served it was served with whipped cream and I think canned cherries (like the red ones? It was Reminiscent of little square of dessert like stuff they give you with turkey TV dinner) I mean we usually use some kind of cranberry type side and some sour cream perhaps to cut the richness of the meat and gravy but this had me completely confused. There was nothing tender about the meat at all. This dish is when you take a cheap piece of meat and you cook it slow and low for days so it's so fork tender. This was not and it was lacking sour. Also, my friends schnitzel and chicken were poorly executed But I can see why people who haven't had other actual German food might enjoy it. It was nothing like it was when I went the first time with the original owners. Someone needs to get their Oma in there and reteach them. I will say that the Apple strudel was pretty comparable to home. The ambiance was pleasant as I remembered. I really don't like giving low stars so I give it a two I probably would've done a three if the service was better but because he seemed so bored to be there I had to keep it at two. Sorry, I hope this was a one off night. read more

The food is very good . I stopped in during a business trip to get a taste of home and they delivered on the taste portion. It was plenty food and definitely got what you paid for but the service wasn't the greatest. During my entire 1.5h stay in the restaurant I was never offered a refill on my drink I had to get the waitress attention several times. She also got my order wrong and had to remake my food. I'd say your kitchen is top notch but maybe talk to staff about smiling more and being more welcoming towards guests. read more

DJ's Bistro - Erdinger Beer - German Near Me - Concord, California

Being that I'm part German -- the part way back in my genealogy that gave me a funny sounding last name -- I'm pretty much always up for German food. It may not be the prettiest food to look at, but what it lacks in looks it makes up for in filling-you-up-with-comfort goodness. So when my boyfriend's grandparents got us reservations at a local German restaurant fave of theirs, I was intrigued. And after the meal, I was verliebt (in love)! (Or at least I think that means "in love." Again, my German-ity is pretty much limited to my name, pale skin and love of beer.) Our waitress was quick to seat and serve us. And I went with my fave, sauerbraten with spaetzle. The sauerbraten was rich in its savoriness. You could taste the herbs in the sauce, which brought out the beef flavor. And the beef was tender. All of this is what is expected with this German pot roast, and it hit the spot. And spaetzle. Oh, spaetzle. These egg noodles had a delightful sponginess to them. They helped soak up the sauerbraten sauce, extending this dish even further. DJ's Bistro features a few German beers, which are served in the taller 0.5L beer glasses that correspond to the brewery. And they are a bargain at $5 each. The waitress/hostess told us that she is from the Czech Republic, I believe, and the owner is Czech as well. (DJ's Bistro also features Czech dishes.) It's great that the food behind the restaurant comes from people who grew up in and know about Central European heritage. They can help bring us German-in-name folks up to speed. ;-) read more

Finally found myself at DJ's after years of curiosity - My mother's family is Czech-Mex (Slovaks integrated into El Paso), and I grew up eating kielbasa, pierogi, stuffed cabbage, and potatoes - all with chiles and queso. Concord is a desert of Eastern European food, so I was pretty excited to find DJ's. Didn't see any stuffed cabbage or pierogi on the dinner menu, but there is plenty of brats, sauerbraten, schnitzel, and goulash. German beers are on draft for $5, and of course, they have Pilsner Urquell. I personally feel the food slants heavily toward the German side (as well as the adorable owners of the place), and there's nothing wrong with that. At $16.50 an entree, prices aren't cheap, but the portions are gigantic, especially for the Jaeger Schnitzel. The Bohemian Sauerbraten, same story. The name of the game in this place is carbs and gravy, so it's hard to complain about much. Ok: I wasn't a fan of their red cabbage sauerkraut, and really wish I had seen some pierogi and stuffed cabbage on the menu. :-( If you're into this food genre, I recommend Walzwerk in San Francisco. Much more complex flavors and use of vegetables, but I look forward to returning to DJ's for the Goulash and another Erdinger. ;-) Check em' out! read more

DJ's is a small German / Czech spot tucked away off the street amidst some non-retail businesses. Cute bar area. The Single Jaeger Schnitzel ($9.50) was a very large cutlet almost covering the plate with some spaetzle, red cabbage, and gravy trying to peak out around it. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/djs-bistro-concord?select=oJSLio3ojRpzIhoZjCmlEQ#aTFg4dtOTwbC9AH4SE1dgg). The breading was nicely seasoned. The pork was a touch dry in spots, but easily remedied with the tasty mushroom gravy. The spaetzle is pan seared after cooking (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/djs-bistro-concord?select=oJSLio3ojRpzIhoZjCmlEQ#BWbqkoyFzZljSVVMIdftew) giving some nice textural and flavor contrasts. The cabbage was good as well. If that wasn't enough food, they bring you a basket of soft bread and butter (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/djs-bistro-concord?select=oJSLio3ojRpzIhoZjCmlEQ#BJpHgmoXm337iPYqfLDprg) Very friendly staff. read more

I have been swearing that I would get over to DJ's Bistro on Sutter Street in Concord for months, and I finally made it! DJ's serves European Cuisine including schnitzels, bratwurst, goulash, and sauerbraten. I had the pleasure of meeting Monika today. She's been with the restaurant for over 20 years. She started as a patron, enjoying DJ's food with the local German club that she belongs to. She's a hoot, definitely someone you want to take a minute to chat with! I ordered the Jägerschnitzel which is crispy breaded pork cutlets served with rich mushroom gravy. OMG, it's so delicious, perfectly cooked with two HUGE pieces of pork. The dish comes with spaetzle, a traditional German dumpling or noodle, spaetzle is boiled in water or broth then pan-fried in butter, and traditional German sweet and sour cabbage. I also got the soup of the day. A delicious chicken soup with potatoes and packed with flavor. I have enough Jägerschnitzel for another meal. Yummy! DJ's is currently open Friday-Sunday 11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. Business is slow, and they could really use our support. They are not currently taking Amex; credit card fees are really high for these struggling businesses. read more
