Finally got to stop in this past weekend with my girlfriend! Our drinks were amazing and arrived at our table I no time. Our waitress was also very nice and did a great job explaining the cocktail menu to us. I work at a restaurant in Hermann and always recommend Fernweh to people so it was great to finally try it out! Will definitely be back again! read more

I'd give this place 1/2 star if I could. We had a small group attempt to eat dinner here on 25 September, 2020. When we approached the hostess outside the door, it was clear she was very, very upset. Basically had a meltdown right in front of us. Throwing menus into the kiosk, and Berating the younger coworker that was also working the front desk. After witnessing this for almost a minute and a half, we commented perhaps we wouldn't want to eat there after all. The hostess heard us, and yelled "Like I care" as we walked away. So, we didn't care, and won't be back. read more

Great food and fast and friendly service , this is one of the nicest places in hermann this far will return on every trip to town maybe bring some friends next time read more

Fernweh Distilling Co. - Distilleries Near Me - Hermann, Missouri

Did not have the food, just drinks. They were pretty good. Husband liked the old fashioned. Red wine was served warm. Ran out of olive juice for dirty martinis. read more

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday dinner and I'm so glad he did. It was really great. I had the one pound baked potato stuffed with brisket, and all the fix ins. My boyfriend enjoyed his sandwich (can't remember which one). The renovations to this old building were done so tastefully. There's a patio that faces the river. Very well done! read more

Wedding Rehearsal Dinner. Great place, good service and food. Everyone has a great time.

Tried this place out as ther reviews were really good. Hmm..the ambiance is great, the welcome wagon when you walk in were really friendly. Then the food arrived. We were there at 7PM. The food came out and was ice cold. The roll on the plate was rock hard, the bbq was stone cold, potato was over cooked. Tried again, was ok second time around. Manager offered employee discount employee discount. Would I return? No. read more

Superb. Absolutely, superb. Myself, and two friends, came from St.Louis to Hermann for the first time to enjoy wineries and see the town. Around 2:00pm on a Saturday, we were ready for a meal, and randomly selected Fernweh. Immediately impressed with the ambiance and general atmosphere. This segued into being more impressed with their drink/food menu. The menu is thoughtfully created to appeal to all appetites; the wines/beer/cocktail selections was excellent as well. We ordered pretzels and seasoned fries to start, followed up with the 1lb baked potato, brisket grilled cheese and burger. 10/10. Whomever is working the kitchen is doing it properly. Top it all off with impeccably clean/maintained bathrooms and dining area. DON'T MISS IT!!!! If you're debating between Fernweh and another place, just go, and thank me later. Shout out to the owners/operators of Fernweh; you guys are nailing it, and we will be back! read more

Great place with an awesome staff, especially Michael, our server. . Food was great. No draft beer:( We sat outside for the river view. Will definitely come again and recommend. read more

We were here for a trip to Hermann in July with a group of 6. We sat on the patio. They were having a luau with a DJ. Our service was fantastic- He was so nice that we tried to invite him to hang with us the next day. Lol. The food we all enjoyed and the drinks were delicious! We ended up staying to dance and had an amazing time kicking off my birthday weekend. Will definitely be back! read more

See all

Drinks and food were excellent. Loved the uniqueness of the drink menu. Burger was wonderful, loaded potato was good too.

When we came in we were greeted with a lot of enthusiasm, and then they brought us to the bar for our tasting ($10 for 4 pours). The bartender was making drinks while giving us our very small pours. I felt like I was trying to pull info out about the product while she was muddling mint for tiki cocktails in front of us. I think that the smells of all the stuff she was making totally effected the way the whiskey tasted. I guess reading other reviews on here it depends on who the bartender is at the time. read more

People here are nice. The burger was a grand display of height but the flavor just wasn't there. Bartender can make some good cocktails but skip the whiskey tasting. read more

Nice dinner, however the cook needs to learn what a rare steak is and watch the root vegetables to make sure they don't get burnt. Cocktails were great and the servers were great even though they had large parties to deal with read more

Eli is a most excellent waiter/bartender and we enjoyed his enthusiasm in making our drinks! Dinner was good. Baked potato under baked. Caprese appetizer was delicious. My girlfriend and I had a blast here. Loved the waitress with the lipscense. Nice people and atmosphere. read more

So let me start with the atmosphere, such a classy and comfy ambiance. Next, the bartender Mr. Eli, go to him and ask for a Fortune Teller. He made the most spot on cocktail that was perfect for me just by telling him what I typically drink. I highly recommend, this is a must in Hermann! read more

Had a great dining experience at Fernweh thanks to our server, Will! He went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. The food was great and the service was phenomenal! read more

We visited Hermann as a weekend getaway. The food was amazing! I recommend the swordfish steak. The restaurant was charming. The wait was rather long, but we were able to grab some drinks nearby while we waited. read more

We really enjoyed our meal at Fernweh Distilling. We also tried their whiskey, which was excellent. We started with caprese skewers which had great components. We then had brisket and pork from the smoker with a couple of sides, all delicious. I had one of their signature cocktails, Old Earl, which I enjoyed. My husband had their rye whiskey, which had a wonderful smoky flavor. He liked it so much we bought a bottle. read more

Excellent service and food. We ate appetizers, entrees and desert and all were outstanding. Brisket grilled cheese & pork schnitzel.

The food at Fernwrh was so yummy. The staff was friendly and so welcoming. Covid friendly!! I love that you can buy candles before or after you eat read more

Michael is amazing! If you are in Hermann and looking for an amazing tasting experience you should taste and and enjoy dinner! Amazing experience!!! read more

This restaurant was delicious! We absolutely loved everything we got here, from the cocktails, to the nachos, to the DELICIOUS pretzel sticks. Our service could've been better, but the entire staff was kind and welcoming. Cool place, great food, would recommend! read more

Micheal made our whiskey tasting even better! You need to try the Wheat whiskey- it'll surprise you. Loved their Rye. We stayed to eat - good selection of food choice. The grilled cheese chicken sandwich was awesome. The bartender whipped a special drink that was darn good! read more

We arrived to this restaurant post the Bacon and wine walk. When we arrived we were moved to three different tables due to a "dj" and/or "large party" (we were told two different stories) the drinks were subpar and the food was ok. Expected much more from other reviews on Yelp but I personally was disappointed. read more

The employees made this a good tasting experience, but their whiskies are (at the time of this writing) all very young and uninteresting. Hopefully they will improve with age. read more

I have never left a bad review on a restaurant but felt this was necessary. Horrible customer service! The hostess was extremely rude and very unorganized. Very disappointed because every other place we have visited in Hermann has been wonderful. Everyone has been overly friendly and professional. Fernweh, customer service and your seating system needs some work. read more

I will NEVER go here again! Six of us came in around 7:00 p.m. on a Friday night. A woman (maybe a manager) immediately told us it was "worth the wait" to eat their food. She said since we were "such a big party" - again, SIX of us, there would be a wait, but please don't change your mind about eating here because our food is really good." Age wouldn't tell us the wait time until we asked. 30 minutes. The two women told different people in our "big party" to go across the street and have a drink. Did you catch that? Fernweh is a DISTILLERY and they told us to go to a different bar! So, we did. And they served food and we ate there. 45 minutes later I get a text that our table would be ready in 15 minutes. This is the THIRD time (pre-COVID, mind you) the wait has been long (expected in a popular town), but also the third time the staff did not seem to care if we stayed or not. So, I can't tell you if the food is good...I wouldn't know. read more

Hello BRISKET GRILLED CHEESE!! Our food and service were amazing!!! We really enjoyed our visit and bought some Rye to go!!!

Great Experience! Sat on the patio for a Sunday lunch and had a great time! We started with the fried pickle spears....so delicious! Then split the chicken avocado sandwich! HUGE! Our waitress, Roz (?), was super friendly and always had a smile on her face! It would be nice for them to add some music to the patio when guests are outside. read more

Loved the outdoor seating, inventive cocktails, delicious food and river vistas. Service was a tiny bit slow but worth it. Good social distancing protocols. Will definitely return. read more

This was our first time visiting and eating lunch. Had an absolutely amazing experience, our food was A+ amazing and our waitress Cindy Y was very helpful with the menu, very personable and had a fabulous attitude. Will absolutely be returning to try more on the menu. read more

Great food, atmosphere and service. Spring waited on the Nine of us that came in for lunch, everyone loved their meals consisting of Burnt ends, pork, burgers, grilled cheese, chicken avocado and shrimp po-boy. The bloody Mary's were top notch! Will definitely be back. read more

Awesome! Everything about this restaurant is spot on. We will go back to Hermann sometime to eat here again, :).

I had the best Manhattan of my life my last visit. I didn't bother with their gimmicky Manhattans on the menu... but instead had a plain Manhattan, traditionally made... t was the best I've ever had --anywhere. In my opinion, this place should place more emphasis on traditional cocktails, but that's only an opinion. read more

Food for dinner is good; our group of four all enjoyed our meals. Cocktails are good, though the whiskey leaves something to be desired; it has an odd flavor, not bad just odd. Definitely not a traditional rye or bourbon. Dirty martinis were great. Front staff may need a little training on estimating time and on telling people who are being rude about the wait to go pound sand, because a certain segment of our population has spent the past 4 years being taught by an orange buffoon that acting like a jerk and stomping your feet like a little pissbaby will get you what you want 95% of the time. If you can't just hang out and have a cocktail and have a nice time while you wait, then stay home and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves without listening to you bellyache like a toddler. Heather was our waitress and she was fantastic. read more

Wouldn't take a reservation early. Put our name in at 5:00, called at 6:50. They said they texted us, never did, moved on.

First stop! Fernweh Distillery! Ok, my mother and i did a whiskey tasting and got educated!! Lol! It was so much fun! Michael(the whiskey tasting host) was sooo entertaining, he really knew his whiskey, and worth every penny! Perfect way to start our weekend! Followed by the best brisket grilled cheese! And omgosh.... them baked beans tho! The best i have ever had! Ever! Ashley(our server) was sweet, made good recommendations and was on top of it! Definitely check this place out! read more

We were the first large group to be hosted by Fernweh! All 30 of us were very impressed with the food quality, the service, and the speed of service. You would never guess Fernweh had been open for less than a year with the organization! I loved the brisket gouda grilled cheese. The appetizers, including the fried pickles were very good. Staff couldn't have taken better care of us! The specialty drinks were very good and we tried several different ones without being disappointed. Definitely worth the trip and as a visitor we look forward to heading back the next time we are in town! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Staff, food, selection and quality drinks were amazing! Made our trip worth the while! Love Spring and all the staff. They are the best addition to Hermann since the Germans! Cant wait to go back! read more
