King's Feast
Megan T.

The king's feast is great to share with a lot of people! 5 people shared it. Hollerbach's is always a great experience. Maybe a nightmare for introverted people lol. My friends and I have done Das Boot and schnappski a couple times and the whole restaurant is looking at you and cheering you on. It's a lot of fun :) food is great! I like to take people here because it's a unique experience. The restaurant is huge and can seat a lot of people, which is nice. It's usually always pretty busy. Great themeing. I love the newspaper menu.

Everybody talks about how great this place is. Maybe I tried to explore food that wasn't the greatest to try for a newbie. I had the pretzel, chicken schnitzel, their cucumber salad, and a Sunset drink which is a German version of a cola and an orange soda. When you order the right food, this place is great!

Authentic German Lunch with Great Service Yesterday we met our friends for our monthly lunch outing, and this time we chose Hollerbach's German Restaurant in Sanford. It turned out to be a great pick. They seated us in a big, open room -- no sound‑absorbing décor, but surprisingly, it never felt loud or echoey. We could talk comfortably the whole time. There's also a charming little German market next door where you can pick up groceries and specialty items. Our server, Rebecca, made the experience even better. She was upbeat, knowledgeable, and handled our group like a pro. When we told her each couple needed separate checks, she gave a playful wink and said, "I gotcha." She also made sure to check that I was okay with their unsweetened iced tea having a peach flavor before bringing it out. Small details like that go a long way. I ordered the Jäger Schnitzel, and the flavor was fantastic -- rich, savory, and comforting. The only downside was that it wasn't hot, more on the warm side, as if it had been waiting a bit. Still delicious. My spouse ordered the Sauerbraten, which looked great, though I thought the meat was a little dry even with the gravy. My goulash soup starter, however, was excellent. The place was busy, and I saw people waiting outside, so reservations are definitely a good idea. We all enjoyed our meals and the chance to catch up. Hollerbach's is now on our list of places to return to for both the food and the German grocery items next door.

The Black Forest cake is a must try! We came on the sun rail and took the trolley down town straight to here. Now this restaurant has a main dinning room, big bar on the side, market, and a merchandise shop. The main dinning room and bar are next door to each other and the market and merch shop are around the corner. We started at the main dining room for lunch. I ordered a hefeweizen beer, the beer comes in many sizes, and we shared a big pretzel. For my main i got the pork schnitzel. It came with a delicious side salad and bread roll. My husband loved his meal. The portions here are big. For dessert we got the Black Forest cake. It was amazing! I'm still thinking about it. The waitress was nice and knowledgeable. The place is decorated fun and the menu is printed on what seems like newspaper. They offer a beer in a big boot. The rule is it must be shared by four people it's 3 liters. It must be drank right away while standing. We saw some guys drink it. It was fun they changed and chugged. After we went next door to the bar and tried more German beers they have bottles or on tap. I would love to go back especially now in October.

Wow! Wow! What an amazing place. We found it driving back from eating the other night. Super friendly hostess and an awesome server. The menus like a newspaper with history and great descriptions. The menu is a bit overwhelming but we ordered what we knew. He started with the pretzel and the mustard was the bomb. The cheese spread was also delicious but my favorite was the mustard. Then I had the Jagerschnitzel with red cabbage and sauerkraut. The pork schnitzel was awesome and the gravy was devine. The red cabbage was delicious and awesome. The sauerkraut was ok. Then we tried the Black Forest Cake. Oh my. It was amazing. The whole meal left me in joyful agony over eating way too much much. The old school family table inside and the outside was more four tops. The decor was traditional German. Awesome place and will be on my return list.

Cajun bratwurst

We were on the way to Disney when we were feeling hungry. Husband was craving German restaurant so luckily we found one! We found parking easily and were greeted immediately inside the restaurant. The restaurant was busy, lively, and felt cozy. There was happy hour specials($5 appetizers and beer) going on when we arrived so we decided to order off that menu. To do so, you do have to order at the bar so keep that in mind. We were led to the bar room and it was spacious and alot more quiet than the main dining area. Our server was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. We had the following: Pretzel with mustard and cheese: 7.5/10 - it was a bit salty but combined with the sweet mustard was delicious! Since it was the smaller version of their giant pretzel, it was only $5 and worth every penny! It was a pretty good size and enough to share between the both of us. I liked the cheese spread too but it was bit rich for me. The mustard was definitely our favorite dip! Potato pancakes with applesauce and sour cream: 9/10 - this was by far my favorite appetizer. The potato pancakes were fried perfectly and the crispy edges were delightful! I didn't think I would enjoy apple sauce and sour cream together but it worked so well with the fried pancake. It cuts through the grease and adds a little sweetness. The portion size was hefty too for $5! Bratwurst with hot mustard: 8/10 - There were a variety of flavors we could choose from and I chose cajun since I love spicy flavors. The bratwurst was cooked perfectly and it was also cut into pieces for easy eating. For $5 you get a big bratwurst and some mustard. I wish it was a little spicier but nonetheless, it was juicy, flavorful, and had that signature snap of a great bratwurst. Jaeger schnitzel: 9/10 - my husband chose the veal and he said it's one of the best schnitzels he's ever eaten. I could see the joy in his face in each and every single bite. It came with warm, pickled cabbage and spaetzle. The schnitzel and spaetzle were covered in this absolutely delightful gravy. I had a bite of everything and it was divine! My husband has lived in Germany and he said it was very reminiscence of his time there. It was a pretty hefty portion too and I knew he loved it when he cleaned his plate completely haha Apple streusel: 9/10 - The apples combined with the flakiness of the pastry and hints of cinnamon was like a warm, cozy hug on a winter day. I cannot explain to you how yummy this was. The pastry itself was light, airy, and each bite made us smile. Definitely try this dessert out! German beer: 9/10 - Husband enjoyed his beer very much and I took a sip. It tasted pretty light and not too heavy. Overall, we will definitely be coming back if we're in the area. Service and food were absolutely great! Prices were reasonable for the portion size too! It's located in a really cute historic area that was perfect for a mid day date or to walk around and explore. They also have their own German cafe/market that you can snacks, cookies, cakes, candies, meats, cheeses, etc. from too!

I always love coming to Hollerbachs!! It's a great place to get traditional German food!! I have never had anything here I didn't like!! My most recent visit was to watch a game during the World Cup, and it was super busy!! But had a great time with everyone watching the game! It can be a little loud but it's what you would expect at a restaurant like this! The staff are usually pretty friendly and quick to get you a new drink! One of my go to stops when in the area!

This is the best German food I have had outside of Germany! We have one near our house and Hollerbach's blows it away! Go here, have fun! We had a really large group and a huge long table. We had reservations which was a good thing because it was packed on a Saturday for lunch. We had several appetizers and I had schnitzel, which was really good with brown gravy and potatoes. The spaetzle was great. Someone at our table had dessert, but most people had really large beers!

Paprikaschnitzel with heaven and earth potatoes
Jason D.

Been a long time since I was here last, decided to have a little date night. It was a fun time in downtown Sanford. Got here early and no wait at all which was nice. Service was not the greatest without server, hard to get her attention for things. I got the paprikaschnitzel with heaven and earth potates and a salad. All great flavors and were really good. Only disappointment was the potato were a little dry and I needed some gravy for them. She got the schnitzel weiner art with potatoes and salad. Hers was really good too It's always a good time sitting inside with the music and singing. Can be a bit loud at times and hard to hear each other. But it was too hot to eat outside. Will definitely be back. Need to check out the upstairs rooftop patio area.

The food is always hands down the best, prepare to wait on weekends or events. Service is top notch! Very authentic environment I loved it

Huge noisy restaurant with quick attentive service. We were seated quickly. Our server was attentive. The food was good, but I have never had German food before so don't go by me as far as authenticity goes but I liked what I had. Seems like a fun place to do with a group. The giant pretzel looked amazing so if I make it back here I am coming with a group and we are for sure getting that pretzel ! Bee sting cake was delicious and huge.

Beef Rouladen. Taken with flash, so not that great of a photo.

UPDATE - Came back with friends. My opinion didn't change much. The food is good, the atmosphere is fine, the portions are good but there's something that just doesn't work for me. The meat is overcooked, tough. The menu is very limited, well its German. So maybe it's me. I recommend of you're into German food. We got the potato pancakes (Kartoffelnpuffer) and the pig wings. Street parking, fair prices, good service.

Pretzel
Kristy K.

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and was seated right away. The menu is cute, styled as a newspaper. Large selection of German foods and drinks. I opted for a doppelbock (my favorite beer that is somewhat hard to find) and the 2 meat dinner. Double potatoes as sides felt right for a German restaurant. It took a little while for our food to come out because there were 2 large parties there but not excessively long. Everything was delicious.

Do you have birthday cakes?

Cakes require a 2 day advance order and are not available for the same day. Hollerbach’s Magnolia Square Market offers the catering option. Even though the Market is down the street, the kitchen area is shared for both establishments.… 

We are planning a family get together for Saturday afternoon. There will be 15 people coming. Will you be able to accommodate us around 1 pm.? I have tried to call but have not been able to speak to a person, only get a recording.

Reservations are for the main dining hall only and are only taken Monday- Friday. Reservations for Saturday and Sunday are unavailable.

Is the roof top dining for events only or can you get a table up there and would you need to reserve one?

The rooftop is open to anyone at any time. It isn't for events only. No need to make a reservation. Just take the elevator up and see the hostess when you get up there.

Is it possible to get a table on a Saturday night for 8-10 without a reservation? We don't mind a long wait.

If you don't mind a long wait then yes you can. A reservation is just easier. Enjoy!

Is there a nutritional chart available on request? As a diabetic I would need to know. Example: the giant pretzel? How many gazillion carbs? Thanks :)

No nutrition available. If you’re diabetic, don’t eat the pretzel. Eisbein with sauerkraut is delicious & a good option!

Are dogs allowed?

Yup! You can have them in the outside eating area and they will even give you water & food for them :)

This was his first night and was equally as good as the primary server, except he had to get help on a few questions we had that related to how to use certain sauces etc. And he got the help very quickly. We started with the pork belly. Fried crispy on the outside and still tender on the inside. It was served with what looked like marinara, but it had an amazing spice mixture in it. Spices as in seasoning, not heat. The best pork belly I have ever had, I could eat just this, and if I were alone it would be enough. We had a cup of hunters soup and polish mushroom soup. Both were very good. I would skip those next time to save room for other things, but only because I would rather eat other things. There were enough tables to seat quite a few people without overcrowding anyone. As a main course we decided to split the polish sampler. 2 potato pancakes, 2 cabbage rolls, 8 perogies and a polish sausage. We didn't know how big the sausage would be so we ordered a side, we did not need it. There was so much food, we did not finish it all and my wife had some for lunch the next day, and still there was leftovers. The place is hidden in a 3 story shopping center, but well worth looking for.

We arrived at the restaurant in great spirits and started by taking pictures at one of those standees with holes to put your head through. We walked inside to the sound of The Chicken Dance playing echoing throughout. Not really Oktoberfest music but we danced as we made our way to our table. Sat down to the first of many red flags we chose to ignore. (Yes, in hindsight the blaring Chicken Dance music should have been the first.) The menu wasn't the one we saw on the website. It was a very very abbreviated version they use for Oktoberfest. We found selections anyhow. My smartwatch gave me the first of several noise alerts that the decibels exceeded 90. The guy across the table from me asked if I could hear. I couldn't. He couldn't hear his wife sitting next to him either. When the waitress finally arrived a bit later, he asked if they could lower the volume a little and she declined. They had events planned. He was already getting a noise-induced headache and had told the group and our waitress that he needed to leave. We hadn't ordered yet so we all debated it. She turned the volume down a tad. He asked if he could eat outside and she said yes, but the table would need to come inside to grab their food. They don't deliver outside. That was an acceptable option. Some of us agreed to stay at the inside table with the newly adjusted volume. Some headed outdoors. Our waitress took our orders then disappeared to the bar. 30 minutes later, half of us had our drinks: a mix of liter glasses of beer, glasses of water and cans of Diet Coke and High Noon delivered by a new server who described himself as the entertainer- and was just helping out since our waitress was busy. The others in our group waited patiently for their beers. Eventually our friend stopped him to let him know and he brought their drinks. The entertainer turned up the music as he reset the tracks to play - it included other Oktoberfest tracks like Electric Slide, Cha Cha Slide and Sweet Caroline. My watch stopped the 90 decibel alerts after several in a row. It probably thought I was at a concert. The same delivery cadence happened for the food. It came out in patches of just a couple orders at a time over the course of about an hour - sometimes appetizers and sometimes mains. The prior people were usually done by the time the next food arrived. We did get up and dance a few times to try to remain in good spirits. Our table was the first one the staff walked past as they exited the kitchen and we watched every order that went out. Most of the time they went right past us without even stopping. We never saw the food for the outside people nor four of us inside. My husband and I had yet to receive our appetizer (a pretzel) or our mains (a single brat and a chicken schnitzel with fries). After quite a while as we all just sat there, the entertainer asked if everyone was good and ready for checks. My husband explained the missing food and asked for our order to be cancelled. I was ready to leave. He offered a comp pretzel, but we declined. He quickly brought out one of the other missing brats and we waited while she finished. In that time, he came back to tell us that our waitress said they had called our name but the food wasn't claimed and was sent back to the kitchen. The loud music perhaps? But also, I don't believe that we missed our name being called twice- once for the appetizer and once for the mains. And they provided no explanation for the other missing orders at our table. Apparently the people outside got their food though so that was a surprise since we were told it would be brought to our table. In the end, they waived my husband's check, delivered us some comp'd food and to go boxes. As we left, we heard the waitress complain to patrons at the bar that we were "a nightmare table" and said we told her we would leave if they didn't turn down the music and we sent food back to the kitchen. Had she been a better waitress, she might have actually checked in on us at least once. I won't be back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I described the experience to a friend as, "the Times Square Elmo version of Oktoberfest."
