This place never disappoints, they did get a new menu which means prices have gone up and they do have several new items on their menu. Anytime I'm craving a good brats or a schnitzel this is my go to place. Tried their Jager (pork) schnitzel and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My BF ordered the Kasespatzke with a side of a brat and it was amazingly delicious. read more

Came here recently with friends for a solid weekend dinner. One of the guys used to live in the area and loved coming here so it was overdue for his return. For me, it was a big hike up to the north side- but totally worth the haul! I grew up in the Midwest, occasionally going to one or two German restaurant/ clubs, so this was not an unfamiliar atmosphere to me. It is definitely a "seasoned" vibe, having immediately taken over the space by a former western bar/beer hall that had been in existence for 50+ years. Their menu says "German and Hungarian" but all I read was German. They have a solid European beer selection, including taps and bottles and some cocktails with a German twist. The one that threw me for a loop (in the best way) was Kriek! So ofc I got a pint. We shared a (fairly large) pretzel to start, which comes with beer cheese. Tasty, but I was genuinely shocked there was no mustard. I ordered the jagerschnitzel (pork) and just overall the meal was as expected as if I was in the Midwest - amazing, delicious, insert chef's kiss. I wish I could have joined the clean plate club. The cucumber salad was flavorful and not too sour/pickley. My friend and I both noted how umami the savory sauce was- not too bacon, not too mushroom. The potatoes were not too salty or under-seasoned. Literally willing to drive up again if/when someone tells me to go. It wasn't horribly busy so it didn't take forever to order and get everything we needed. Our server was super nice and patient. She even gave a bar suggestion that ended up being a nice cherry for the top of the evening. read more

Review for take-out. Picked up a couple of schnitzels for lunch with spatzle and red cabbage. I had the chicken. It tasted like wienerschnitzel. I was impressed with the size of the schnitzel portion. By the end of the meal I was very full. I know there is a beer garden behind the restaurant but it is probably better at night or in the winter as it was over 100 degrees when I was there. The wait staff was very efficient and my food was ready when I arrived. Parking should be easy except during very busy times. read more

We did a take out from here at lunch. I had the Jager schnitzel, red cabbage, and spatzle. The schnitzel was huge and the mushroom gravy was very good! Red cabbage was tasty. Only slightly disappointed in the spatzle. Let's just say that I have had better. Plus I learned from my grandmother how to make spatzle and had to make it for many family Thanksgivings and Christmases, so I'm a tad picky. From the outside in the daylight, you might pass this place by, but the food is tasty and filling! read more

I love beer gardens and really wanted to like this place. First off, it's huge. I can imagine it being packed during Oktoberfest, and maybe I'd give it another try then, but otherwise this one was rough. I ordered a beer that had supposedly just been tapped, but somehow it was warm. After tasting the warm beer, a gin and tonic was ordered. The server straight poured from the bottle, and all I could think was, this is how Bar Rescue finds places. I wanted to order food, but ended up just getting the pretzel, which wasn't bad. Service was friendly in an "all the staff hangs out at the bar and chats" kind of way. I kept expecting John Taffer to walk in at any moment. read more

Service was good along with the German food. I had never been here before, but they have a nice area outside also with umbrellas to shade the sun and it makes it like a beer garden. read more

Went there for the first time for a Friday night date with my husband. The atmosphere is very cool and casual with someone playing music at the stage. Emily made a very big difference in our experience too. She recommended 2 of the best dishes so we can share, pretzel with cheese dip which were heavenly, and she even nailed down our beers only by describing what we liked. We will be coming back for sure :) read more

My son and I are in town for the 2025 AAE Arizona Cup and looking for interesting places to eat. I love German food and so we gave Edelweiss a whirl. Interesting neighborhood but does have private parking. Folks out jogging so appears safe. German decor as expected. Created by three different folks on the way in. Seated in a booth as it was cool for outside. Very friendly waitress. Found a delicious sounding beer off of their extensive tap list which is front and back of a nice menu. I opted for my usual Jagerschnitzel with red cabbage and cucumber salad. Joseph had the Hungarian Sausage and cheesy spatzle. All was good. As you can see for some reason they opted to put the mushroom gravy in a cup instead of on the huge piece of meat could have used more gravy but was still tasty. Theee was live music during the meal that was good. Fun place and great service and good food. read more

Nicest people, a large, casual outdoors eating area with music last night (live music on the weekend inside). Just great food and drinks, nice beer (Schneider Edelweiss for us). The Einbein, Zigeuner Schnitzel and pretzel bites were unbelievably good. A wonderful, cultural experience! Thanks very much. read more

I'm not sure why I haven't been to this place before! We visited on a Wednesday night, and they had a trivia night going on. We found seats at the bar and got to try some beer samples that the friendly waitress kindly offered. The vibe was great, with lots of charming German mug decor. The trivia players seemed to be having a blast. I ordered the pork with potatoes. While the pork was just okay, the potatoes were fantastic and brought back memories of the ones my dad used to make when we were kids. The sauerkraut was also delicious--sweet and tasty. read more

We went here on a Saturday shortly after they opened. The outside is a little dingy, but that's to be expected on 32nd and Bell. The inside atmosphere was great. The server was very nice. And the place is accommodating to single eaters as well as full families. The food was great and the server helped explaining things as the menu items are listed in German. Everything tasted great and the portions were large. Sad we haven't been here more frequently, we'll be back! read more

The food was amazing and so incredibly authentic! We started with pretzel bites and Opa's favorite. Opa's favorite took us by surprise! Such a unique combo of fried cheese and homemade cranberry sauce. Around the table, we had Hungarian sausage, smoked brats, Huhnerschnitzel, and Jager Schnitzel. Everyone was immersed in the food. My father in law (Danish) kept taking about how the red cabbage and sauerkraut tasted like his childhood. All around 10 out of 10 on the dinner! We ordered one of each dessert and took turns sharing bites of each. The Apple strudel was a big hit. But the German chocolate cake and black forest cake were just decent. The boys started with a flight of beers and were very impressed with the selection ! You get four 4oz beers. We gave our server some selective freedom, and she nailed it! She made sure that each person's four were different from the other others so there was a lot of selection and variety. At 6 PM a gentleman came in with an accordion and started playing live music. It was just perfect! Not too loud that we couldn't enjoy our time together, but loud enough that you could enjoy the music. Our server was the best! Perfectly checking in just as much as we needed and making great suggestions along the way. We had not even left before my in-laws were asking when we wanted to come back and dine again. This is a hidden gem of the valley!! read more

Food and service was excellent, great for large groups. The back patio is large and has some games.

Great food, exceptional service. My sister brought us to Edelweiss Biergarten for the first time. Our server was friendly and accommodating, answering all our questions and making thoughtful recommendations. She chatted with us enough to make us know that she cared, but not so much as to be intrusive. When my sister mentioned that one of the beers on the menu had our surname in its name, our server brought her a mardi gras type beaded necklace with the logo of the beer on it. Such a thoughtful touch! We started with the Pogi, which is basically a cross between a biscuit and a roll. What made it really special was the house-made warm cranberry sauce. It was so good that I asked for a large side to take home, which they happily provided for me. It's going on English muffins in the morning. My husband had the beef stroganoff, and it has literally ruined him for stroganoff from anywhere else, ever. The beef was tender and well-seasoned, and it was served over fluffy spaetzle. My spaetzle with feta cheese, bacon, and sour cream was delicious. For dessert, we had the Apple Strudel and the Black Forest Cake. The strudel was flaky, with apples that were delicately spiced but not mushy or overly sweet. The cake... I've never had such a beautifully light cake. My fork met almost no resistance as I took a bite. It was made with fresh cherries -- not processed pie filling-- and had a whipped cream frosting that again, was not overly sweet. Although I've never been to Germany or Hungary, I have no doubt that our meal was the real deal. All in all, a simply wonderful experience. read more

Greeted at the door and from that moment on the service was outstanding. The dark beer was better than expected. The pretzel and schnitzel were amazing the sour krout and potatoes were just like homemade and the brown gravy was outstanding. Made me want to try the beef stroganoff. Next trip. read more

Out showing homes in N Phoenix, and decided to grab a bite with my buddy David. He recommended Edelweiss Biergarten, which was perfect timing for Oktoberfest. I have limited knowledge of German food, but I will say that I loved everything that we had here. Best beer cheese ever, and the schnitzel was perfect. Parking is a little rough, but well worth the wait. Our server Samantha was getting her butt kicked all night long by the crowd, but she handled it well and was a lot of fun to BS with. ...my opinion. The food is better than Haus Murphy. I would LOVE if they opened something out in my neck of the woods in QC/STV I think they would crush it out here. read more

I had been craving Eisbein all week and this place DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT! The pork was literally falling off the bone, and the sauerkraut and potatoes were cooked to PERFECTION. I didn't expect the broth at the bottom of the plate-bowl but I ended up slurping that up like the best damn soup I've ever had! On top of all the amazing food, the shining star of this place is Emily. I sat there for a while and witnessed various folks and groups come in and Emily was on top of everything! From greeting people at the door to taking orders to recommending certain products; she was sweet, pleasant, chill, and knowledgeable as hell! In passing, she told me that she left the bier cheese from my pretzel bites appetizer out because she really likes putting it on top of the Eisbein and the potatoes. Being a card-carrying fat guy, I have no idea how my mind didn't jump to that conclusion right away; GENIUS! Whatever she's making at this place, it's not enough. She's a wonderful person and a god damn treasure of an employee. I am coming back, and if I'm smart (which the jury is still out on), I'm letting Emily pick my entire meal. read more

Sam made our experience memorable,The food was already incredible--authentic flavors, perfectly cooked, and everything tasted fresh--but what really made the night stand out was the service. Our server went completely above and beyond from start to finish. They were not only attentive and friendly, but genuinely knowledgeable about the menu--offering great recommendations( also giving some sass with it) and making sure everything came out exactly how we wanted it. You could tell they really cared about the experience, not just doing their job.Drinks were never empty, timing was perfect, and they checked in just the right amount without ever feeling intrusive. It's rare to get service that feels that personal and effortless.Between the amazing food and top-tier service, this place easily became one of my favorites. Definitely coming back--and hopefully getting the same server again. read more

Really good food. Feels very homemade. We started with the big pretzels and beer cheese, happy the cheese wasn't that strong. Also we got the csusza, it was really good! Taste like a Romanian dish with feta cheese and bacon, but pasta instead of polenta. Also the cordon bleu is really good. Got the huhner schnitzel and it was good. Also got the beer hot sausage and it's really good. They do give you complementary birthday dessert. read more

Stumbled across this restaurant and hoped for a good German dinner. It's amusing that every German restaurant seems to have cheeseball pictures taped to the walls. At least this place had a mountainside background for their accordion player - who was not there. Otherwise they have an interior that does replicate a biergarten with long wooden tables, etc. I started with a Schneider Edel-weisse beer. It was good as one would expect. I then ordered the Jager schnitzel which came with German home fried potatoes and cucumber salad. When the food arrived, almost too quickly, I was surprised to see the Jager sauce in a side cup. It didn't quite look right and I momentarily thought it was the wrong thing. The server assured me it was and that that's how all the sauce is served. My half German hairs rose on the back of my neck. I sampled the sauce and it was ok. I sampled the schnitzel and it was also OK. Together they were less than ok but I was hungry and ate most of it. The home fried potatoes were also just ok, a little colder than desired and lacking in flavor beyond the oil they were nearly swimming in. The cucumber salad was also less than wonderful. I left a good bit of all three things when I left. (I even left some of the beer - a cardinal sin). Had it been better than ok, I would have scarfed it all down - though the schnitzel was of a size that celebrated quantity over quality. I ate a lot - but not all - of the food, cashed out and headed on my way. I could have taken some out for later, and chose not to. It wasn't great German food,... wait for it... just ok. It gets an ok score of 3. But I won't go back the next time I'm in Phoenix. read more

Edelweiss Biergarten may claim to be Phoenix's oldest restaurant, dating back to 1952, but unfortunately it shows every one of those 70+ years--and not in a charming, vintage way. The building itself is outdated and worn, with decor that feels frozen in time. The outdoor seating consists of weathered picnic tables dressed in old tablecloths, hardly inviting for a pleasant dining experience. Most concerning were the restrooms, which were not clean and so antiquated that the floor showed a visible worn track from decades of foot traffic. The clientele seemed equally stuck in another era. I ordered the Jäger Schnitzel, which should be a showcase dish for any German restaurant. While the flavor was acceptable, the execution was poor--the schnitzel was so overcooked it had curled. . I made the mistake of ordering mashed potatoes as my side (the traditional fried potatoes would have been the better choice). The mashed potatoes were cold, though they did appear to be made from real potatoes rather than instant. The cucumber salad was disappointing: a small portion of thinly sliced cucumbers with weak seasoning and a watered-down sauce that lacked any punch. The mushroom sauce that topped my schnitzel was perhaps the most disappointing element--essentially a thick roux paste studded with mushrooms, completely flat and one-dimensional in flavor. The one bright spot was the service, which was attentive and good. Edelweiss Biergarten feels like a restaurant that's dying on the vine, unable or unwilling to update its facilities or elevate its food quality. If you're craving German cuisine in Phoenix, do yourself a favor and head to Haus Murphy's instead, where you'll find much better food and a more pleasant overall experience. read more
