Wonderful place, wonderful people, wonderful food! Just took the family there and amongst the chaos that we always bring there was a sweetness provided by everyone inside! Drove up from Naples to come visit here with a friend and looking forward to coming back! read more

Food is excellent, had the sauerbraten, red cabbage and dumpling. Wife had schnitzel, good sized portion. Service is excellent, friendly owner. Ambiance is definitely cool. read more

We enjoyed a lovely and filling lunch here on a Sunday midday. I called in advance, per the instructions on their website, for a reservation (which was not a problem at all). We were seated promptly and greeted by the owner and presumably, his wife, who proceeded as our server for the meal. The decor is fun and typically German. I could hear the pork being pounded out for the schnitzel after we ordered - a good sign that the food was being made fresh. Both the jaeger schnitzel and the curry wurst were delicious. The käsespätzle was tasty as well. We left with a number of boxes as the portions were generous. I would recommend giving them a try if you're looking for traditional German food in the area and want to support a local, family owned establishment. read more

HJ German Corner - Chef and Eric - German Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Good German food, people were very friendly, Black Forest Cake to die for! Quaint atmosphere.

The pork shank is the best. You need a couple of days reservation to have it. It's good for 3 people but it's serves for 2. It's run by a sweet couple. They only have a few table but it's so intimate. The food is amazing. We try to go here a few times a year since we have a drive from Naples. Amazing German food. I'm drooling haha. read more

Visited this awesome restaurant a week or so ago and I can't wait to make another visit. The food was delicious and the server was great he had wonderful humor and made my time more enjoyable! Highly recommend if you want to try something different for lunch. The cheese strudel for dessert was my favorite I ate but everything was wonderful. read more

Food was very good, large portions and good German beer. It's a little place with plenty of parking. Food is way better than Heidi's restaurant. read more

The German beer is cold and the food is deliciously amazing! I indulged in the generous portion of jagerschnitzel, red cabbage, spatzel, and German potato salad. It's as good as it is in Germany and fresh as can be. You can hear the owner/chef pounding out the schnitzel in the kitchen while you wait. With only seven tables and a small bar area, seating can be tight. Reservations are recommended. read more

The food is just excellent. We had lunch today, the restaurant had a homely feel. The food tasted like german food should. Juicy, full of flavor cooked with love. Highly recommend the Schnitzel and the Currywurst. We will be back! read more

The food is excellent. Fresh made, not from a freezer through a microwave. Authentic flavors and presentation. The service was very attentive and family style hospitality. The decor is a bit simple. We'll adorned with culturally appropriate artifacts, but not much in the way of elegance. Make a reservation and enjoy Greman hospitality and great food read more

Tried to make reservations on Monday for Sunday but was told to email the request and I would find out Wednesday. My dad and I really wanted ham hocks so when the reservation was confirmed I sent an email back asking about ham hocks, but no reply. Sunday came and we arrived about 10 minutes early. The place was more than 1/2 full. The man there sat us and left, it was clear to see that this man might be the owner but he was the host, waiter, busboy and chef! My parents asked for water 3x's and finally a girl appeared and gave my dad water. We order the veal and it was delicious, but sadly the overall experience left a lot to be desired. Not sure if the a/c was broken or just not turned on so I found it to be very warm which for me and my sinuses made things uncomfortable. I wish I could say the experience was over the top, but due to the lack of staffing it fell short. The man was very nice and the food was excellent but this was not my vibe. read more

Reservations are needed for this lovely location that feels as if you are eating the food cooked at Hans' home. The selection is fantastic and the food is scratch cooked. Highly recommend the red cabbage side with the Weiner Schnitzel. Our party of 5 was well taken care of and we enjoyed engaging with the other guests. The chef owner was attentive and courteous. read more

Excellent true German food, friendly service, and reasonable prices! Small dining area so reservations are a good idea!

Very good AUTHENTIC German food. The restaurant looks to be a converted bakery but the food was awesome. One of those where the cook is the husband and the wife the waitress ( I think). I will return. read more

Fantastic authentic German food! great atmosphere, reasonably priced, highly recommen!

Stopped in today for a wonderful lunch/dinner. 4 of us each had something different and we all loved our food. We were able to sit and visit and were not rushed. Delicious Jagerschnitzel, Roulade, sauerbraten and schnitzel with a green/red pepper gravy. All of the were so good and came with two sides. We will definitely be back!! read more

I would move to FL for this place. OUTSTANDING food! Just like my grandparents would make. Brats were heavenly, schnitzel juicy and delicious. Homemade spatzel and cabbage, even the mustard was freshly made. Appeared to be the owner serving. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Had to leave a review and take pictures so we remember where to go when we come back! read more

HJ German Corner is a fantastic eatery on US 41, recommended by my friend, Kimberly H. HJ or Chef Hans Joachim is a one man show. He greets you, seats you, takes your order, bring your drinks, cooks and serves you! You can hear him pounding the schnitzel by hand when it is ordered. Hans opened HJ German Corner during the pandemic and we never have an opportunity to try this. First, there are only six inside tables well space out with one table for two, four tables for four and one table for six or 24 seating insides. There are two tables outside as well. For dinner with this setup, it is recommended you have a reservation. Today, I swing by for lunch and was not disappointed at all. Despite the lack of help, Hans' personality radiated with a smile and very efficiently perform his work! You can have conversation without feeling rushing through your meal while sipping your German Beers or wines and a little German background music! I opted a Sauerbraten with Rotkohl (Red Cabbage) and Kartofelknodel (Potato Dumpling). The Sauerbraten was tender and savory! The Karofelknodel and Rotkohl are perfect complement! Slowly, I enjoyed each bite with a sip of Hofbrau Lager. This was a big lunch and there were no room for my favorite Apple Strudel or Black Forest Cake! This is a hidden gem in Fort Myers and you will not be disappoint! Five Stars! read more

Don't let the outside of this place turn you off. The proprietor, Hans is a delightful man skilled in the German culinary arts. There are only 6-7 tables so we always make a reservation even in the off season. My favorite dish is the sauerbraten with red cabbage and dumplings. Rivaling my grandmother's, it is quite tasty. They also serve giant mugs of beer and yes there is wine too but the main draw is the food that never lets us down. I once had the black forest cake for dessert. It's fantastic. You may want to stop in just for that because it is so wonderful and the serving is more than one person can eat, especially after dinner. Don't be alarmed by the noise coming from the kitchen. Hans, himself, pounds each schnitzel prior to cooking. Since I live in Tampa, I can't eat here often but every time I'm in South Florida I visit H J German Corner in Fort Myers. read more

Have been wanting to try this little place for quite some time, and finally made the jump with my cousin and we have found another hidden gem in Cape Coral/Ft. Myers. The atmosphere was great, it is a very small town, home town kind of feel and we enjoyed that very much. The service was amazing and the food was absolutely to die for. My cousin got the Jagerschitzel and I got the Wiener Schnitzel, our meals were incredible, you could tell that the food was fresh and it tasted like it just came out of my grandma's German kitchen. Topped it all off with some fabulous drinks and some phenomenal desserts! I recommend this place to anyone and everyone and we are excited to make this a regular place for us. read more

What a find! We walked in the restaurant and immediately felt we were in Germany with the decor and music. The food was delicious and authentic, from the German draft beer, to the hand pounded schnitzel, to the homemade potato dumplings, to the bratwurst. Even the sauerkraut and Dijon mustard were homemade. The Apple strudel is a must for dessert! I would like to try the Black Forest cake on my next visit. 10/10 recommend coming here for dinner! This is an incredibly unique experience with amazing food. Remember to make a reservation and seating is limited. read more

Real German food and beer. I've tried just about everything on the menu. Red cabbage and homemade spaetzle are yummy. Sauerbraten and schnitzels don't disappoint. This is a two person show and they do a great job. read more

My husband is from Germany and I cook German, so we are tough critics. I had the Rouladen with red cabbage and Spätzle. The Rouladen was very good, red cabbage was ok on the sweet side (I like mine much better), and the Spätzle was overcooked. My husband had the Zigeunerschnitel. I have never seen a pork schnitzel that large anywhere, and the pepper sauce was lacking peppers and flavor. I don't think the food was bad, but if you are not familiar with German food I would not give them a 5 star rating. They work hard (you can hear them in the kitchen pounding the meat), portions are large and prices are reasonable. Guten Appetite! read more

This place was absolutely amazing! They were so nice and the food was amazing. It was like being in Germany again. Once we were done eating they gave the kids a popsicle. I will definitely be back there and mad that I didn't try this place sooner. read more

I don't remember ever having authentic German food before, so I was really excited to try this place out! Their staff truly makes you feel welcomed and like you're part of the family - joking around, caring, and pays attention! Their food was really good!! The bratwurst had a nice flavor accompanied by a cute little mustard jar. Their sauerkraut tastes like my grandma's (it might be better) which is a high compliment coming from me - you can rarely beat grandmas cooking! Highly recommend this place!!! read more

I stopped in to try there authentic German food , I had there sauerbraten with potato dumplings and red cabbage and it was great , it's a small place with 7 tables I ask the waitress and she explained how it's best to call for reservations for dinner hours but lunch is ok for walk inns , I will be going often to try out everything but for anyone in the fort myers area should definitely stop by and try German food plus the owner/cook has a strong German accent read more
