    Prime rib dinner
    Jeff C.

    This is one of those places that I've always known to be around but just never got around to visiting. Finally we made the trip to pop in on a Saturday night and we've found out we've been missing out all these years! It's a casual spot, great for families or get togethers as the seating is plentiful and you don't feel rushed to eat and get out. You line up and order your food, cafeteria style. You'll see them carve up your meats right in front of you! Since it was Saturday we got the prime rib. I was pleasantly surprised as the quality and quantity were good for the price. A huge salad came with it and sides as well. Very reasonable for prime rib! The kiddo got ham and really enjoyed that as well. Overall, they have a great selection of meats at a very reasonable price, they do meals to-go, and it's a great gathering place. Can't wait to come back again!

    roast beef

    I ordered the roast beef entree after seeing so many people recommend it. It came with mashed potatoes, gravy, a dinner roll with butter, and a celery salad. Unfortunately, the roast beef wasn't at its best today. The slices were cut too thick and contained a lot of connective tissue, making the meat very chewy. It also had a noticeable metallic smell and lacked the savory, beefy flavor I was expecting. I'll probably skip this dish next time and give their turkey leg a try instead.

    I go to the San Leandro location, this is my go to for comfort food, cafeteria type, grab a tray and stroll down the line, there are several choices on the menu, one of my favorites is their rotisserie chicken, you also pick your sides and there're many to choose from, no disappointments.

    Turkey Dinner with Turkey Gravy
    Allan Y.

    Came in on a Saturday evening about 4pm and they were pretty business, but they do move fast. Got my usual, Turkey dinner with turkey gravy. Asa always the turkey was cooked perfect, but the gravy was a little off. Didn't have the flavor like before, maybe a off day. But still good.

    This place so reminds me of like an old school Reno restaurant, the vibe, the woodsy look, the smell, the people that dine here and the staff. The staff seems to have been here for a while, liking their job. The place is clean and huge. Great for big groups. No need for a time limit. Good for a birthday or long hang out. It's only missing the slot machines! Haha The food is American dishes like steak with mashed potatoes, sandwiches, salad and pies. They also have Mac & cheese, some Italian or Mexican dishes. Prices are very decent. Portions are great. I had their prime rib sandwich. Tender and pretty good but I still had to add some salt and pepper for flavor; this is also why you get Au Ju with it but not enough for me.. My company all had the hot turkey with mashes potatoes & gravy sandwich. It's basically an open faced sandwich. It was a large portion and full of gravy. They loved it. If you are a senior, you get a discount so no wonder there were many seniors. A good place to come again for a long lunch or dinner meal. Food is decent but not fancy. [5R,2026]

    Pastrami, Macaroni & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Dinner Roll
    Randy B.

    First time coming here, and it can be a bit overwhelming to know what to order. Upon entering you're welcomed by a hot bar that you are served from. I got the pastrami dinner, which comes with mash potatoes and one side of your choosing, Mac and cheese for me. The servers do make you feel a bit rushed, which is a bit off-putting as a first timer. Once you pay for your food, you can walk to any available table. The restaurant is dimly lit and feels a bit cozy. The table was relatively clean and there's a bar in the back of the restaurant. The food was good, the Mac and cheese and mash potatoes was reminiscent of hometown buffet in a good way. Would come back to switch it up from the usual spots I go to.

    I've seen this place so many times and finally got around to trying it with the family. First impression was how big it is. We came around 4:30pm and it was a little busy, but the line moved fast. The menu and daily specials made ordering easy, and the staff were very friendly and helpful since it was our first visit. Seniors and kids pay less. I went with the roasted chicken and pastrami with mashed potatoes and brown gravy, plus a Caesar salad. The dinner roll with butter is amazing! Everything was satisfying. The vibe was calm and not too loud, which made it easy to relax with the family and enjoy the meal. We were all full and happy, and I didn't even have room for dessert (chocolate cake next time!). We'll definitely be back, especially on a Friday to try their Boston clam chowder.

    My family's favorite spot for lunch before or after airport. Pastrami is our favorite. Especially if we have time to stop by, I love to bring a pound of pastrami back to Southern California.

    Harry's Hofbrau is a classic. It's like stepping into a time warp in the best way possible (think big fireplace, dark wood, booths). The staff is so nice, and of course the food is delicious. Consistent and exactly what you want, every time. The menu is actually pretty big, and they have specials for each day of the weekend (Fridays are tri-tip days). So there's also something new to try if you're wanting to shake it up.

    Turkey Wing
    Jackie W.

    Nostalgic, home style cuisine in a historic establishment. The parking lot is always packed, so we decided to give it a visit on a weekday evening. It was fairly busy, but the cafeteria-style line moves quickly. Service was very friendly. I ordered the turkey wing meal, which came with two sides (I chose mashed potatoes and red cabbage) and a generous ladle of gravy. The meal itself was fine. The turkey wing was fatty, the mashed potatoes were average, and the red cabbage was extremely acidic, which was actually nice for cutting through the richness. The roll was just okay. There is a wide selection of beers on tap, and you can take your mug home (which we chose to do) for $5! Overall, a unique experience that I recommend for the nostalgic vibes.

    Another Sunday dinner at one of our favorite restaurants Ironically, the weekend after Thanksgiving and I ordered the turkey leg dinner I've been craving a turkey leg from Disneyland for years now and this really satisfy my craving . It was juicy, very tender and all of the side dishes paired with it perfectly. Their turkey gravy is outstanding. I also got the mushrooms side dish. Let me tell you these mushrooms are out of this world. They're so simple yet so tasty. They're savory, and cooked to perfection. One of my favorite things to get when I come here. Kids had lasagna and they really enjoyed it as well. They said it was really cheesy and the sauce was flavorful He really can't go home Harry's hofbrau The food is always good, the service is fast and the atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly.

    Menu - November 2025

    Came a couple hours before closing (11pm) on a weekend. Wasn't busy, but still a good amount of patrons dining. It was my first time eating there besides attending a Paint Night event years ago. It's spacious with lots of booths and tables, along with a bar area that we didn't get to check out. Since we didn't have any Thanksgiving food over the holiday, we decided to come here and give their Roast Turkey dinner a try. The man serving me asked if I wanted stuffing and mashed potatoes and gravy, which I said yes. As I went down the line, I also got a wheat dinner roll, a side of beets, some cranberry sauce, and a fountain soda. Came out to around $25. First thoughts- a hefty amount of food! Turkey was moist, gravy was nice. Bread was not dry at all. But everything was disappointingly cold. Also the stuffing was an unfortunate gluey, pasty plop of mush hidden beneath the turkey slices. Kinda killed it for me.

    Open face turkey sandwich
    Joe B.

    You never want to pass up an opportunity to eat at a Hofbrau, especially Harry's! I love this place! So you walk in and go straight to the counter to order. I recommend the tri tip sandwich or the turkey open face sandwich. My go to sides are macaroni salad, mashed potatoes, and mac n cheese. The guy carving the meat will hook you up with a generous stack of meat, then the helpers will get the sides and then you pay, find a table and get after it. This is delicious food and you get a pile of it. The ambiance is fantastic, leather booths, high ceilings, variety of flags, bright yellow menu above the cafeteria style bar. It's honestly the best. I hope more young people discover the Hofbrau so they stick around. Definitely 5 stars. Eat here!

This place is huge and very busy, but they clearly have their process down because everything came out efficiently and exactly as ordered for everyone in our party -- which is impressive for such a large table.

Once you're in, the service moves quickly and smoothly.

The menu is big and caters to an American diner type of taste; eggs, sandwiches, burgers and similar fare. The service was prompt and friendly, and the food came out at a reasonable time. They're quick to accommodate dietary needs and preferences as well. The food itself was only alright. I ordered one of their specials, the Petrale Sole, and it was under seasoned and a bit too oily for my tastes. It also comes with your choice of soup or salad, along with a separate dinner side (rice, spaghetti, some form of potato, etc.) as well. All of these were also just okay. The pricing is reflective of the plethora of sides, which I personally dislike, as I would prefer lower pricing with no sides if given the option. Overall, this does feel like classic American diner fare, which has never really been my cuisine of choice. It's not bad, by any means, but it doesn't stand out to me.

The wait to order wasn't too long, maybe 15 minutes? While you wait, you pass by a display of cookies and they even have samples out for everyone to try. The staff was very nice, even though they were super busy! We tried: - Free chips & salsa: These are a must everytime I visit denica's. They are a great snack while you wait for your meal. 9/10 - The ube pancakes: These were pretty solid. I didn't think that the pancakes themselves had a very strong ube flavor, if any. I think all of the flavor was in the ube coconut sauce that they come with. However, there is only sauce on the first layer so you might want to get extra! It is an additional $2.75 or so to get the extra side of ube sauce, though. The pancakes themselves could have been a little more moist and fluffy, as they were a bit dry and dense. I loved the fruit and sauce, so that definitely made up for it! I'm glad that I got to try, but I don't think I'd get them again. Instead, I would get a regular pancake and a side of the ube coconut cream! 8/10 - The chorizo burrito: My bf said that this was also a pretty good option. He thought that it could have been a bit more flavorful, but was still satisfied with his meal! 7.5/10 - The side of hash browns: These were good, as to be expected! The portion was a bit small in comparison to other diners in the area. 7.5/10 Overall, I always enjoy my experiences at denica's! The vibes are always there, and they are such a convenient place to grab breakfast or brunch.

The meat itself was just okay. * Rice Vermicelli Bowl - 4.5 stars - not sure why it is called a bowl when it was served more in a plate. This is the fusion take on the Vietnamese dish with different dressing. We selected the Galangal Pork, which I did not like as much compared to the usual Vietnamese ones with Lemon Grass. There is a choice to select Lemongrass chicken instead, so you might want to try that. The pork tasted "porky" despite it was thinly cut.
