Brats. Home fried potties, pork chop, red cabbage

Ambiance and service was good. Authentic German feel.. The prices were fair. The food not so good!!! I ordered the 2 meat and 2 sides dinner. Although the food presentation looked good, the food was cold. It seemed like they must have made a large amount of food and put the pans under a food warmer light. Dished it out when ordered and served it. The bread was good but didn't seem like authentic German bread. Not impressed. I did check reviews before going. Would we go back idk. It could have been an off day.

We didn't feel like cooking so we did a coupon search for ideas. Found a BOGO entree one for Horst Gasthaus. We don't do German food often, not that many around us, so it was a perfect choice. The restaurant appears to be a converted house just off of Rt 17 behind another business. Parking is tight and they were busy. Outside doesn't look like much but the interior was nice with lots of themed tchotchkes on all the walls. The set up was definitely a house with the various rooms turned into various sized dining rooms and bars. It was busy looking but cozy. The service was quick and helpful in picking from a decent list of German beers. I settled on a Tucher Hefe Weizen which was very good. For dinner I had the Veal Jager Schnitzel with mushrooms. The Veal was very good. The German potato salad was, ok. The green beans were very soft and not really tasty. Of course it is subjective. I like a little bite to my veggies. Since it was our first time here and we have another coupon, I would try them out again. Will update at that time.

This place never disappoints. Absolutely love their Happy Hour! Pork chops are delicious and the spatzle hits the spot. I highly recommend this place. Nanette and Howard are awesome!

It's been a minute since we've been back, but being we have a German exchange student living with us, we thought we'd give it a try. What a great night! We were so lucky to have Bettina as our server First, she speaks German which was such a blessing. Ask for her if you dine here. Second, everything was exceptional. We started with the brezel appy, the Gasthouse plate and suppe. The Schweinshaxe was a special that I highly recommend. We also had the Swiss style chicken, pork cordon bleu and chicken parm. All went over well, including the mashed potatoes and rotkohl. They also had several Octoberfest options on tap. One of the best things about Horst Gasthaus is the ambience. Live tasteful accordion music on Th, Fr and Sa too. Es war eine Fantstic-Nacht!

I was very excited to try Horst Gasthaus because I love German food, and there are no authentic places where I live. The restaurant is decorated to make it feel like you are in Germany. Even our waitress was German and dressed in traditional clothes. We started with beer, wine, and soft pretzels with cheese. The wine was a nice German Riesling, and they are generous with the pour. We loved the pretzel, and the cheese was very tasty. You are served fresh rye bread and butter, which was also very good. I had their Wiener Schnitzel with spätzle and cucumber salad. Everything was amazing. The schnitzel was crispy and flavorful. The spazel was covered with a yummy gravy. The cucumber salad was light and complemented the heavy dishes. I also tried the bread dumpling and sausage, which were delicious as well. For dessert, we shared the German chocolate cake. It was really good. Based on how popular they are, I would make a reservation.

Live music adds to the experience

If you like German food, this is the real deal The atmosphere & decor is reminiscent of being in Germany. Servers are dressed and individually designed authentic costumes. Iced t cold boots of beer, a good selection of German wine, live accordion music, and great food. I recommend the fried pork chops.

Happy monsters.

Wow! The kids ate everything. I enjoyed an elderberry martoonie while the male folk sipped their larger German beers. Had an assortment of all the things. Pam was an amazing server she made lovely recommendations and was kind and funny. Happy hour offers $1 off drinks and $2 pork chops (@ bar only) 4-6 pm. They do not take discover cards. Can not wait to return. The seating was generous and the posters, stencil vines, and decorations made this a whole wonderful experience.

Our entertainment for the evening.

The German Cafe is located on the lower level of the Cotton Exchange in Downtown Wilmington, NC…read more There is a parking lot, and they do validate parking. The restaurant opened back in 1985 and has been open ever since. The historic building and German theme add to the experience. The restaurant has seating on three levels, with a bar and some tables when you walk in, and two smaller dining areas on the other levels. The staff even dress in traditional attire. The architecture itself is incredible, showcasing the original 40-foot hand-carved pine beams from the 1860s cotton warehouse. Even the foundational stones holding up the restaurant space are repurposed from old ship ballast stones left behind at the 19th-century port by passing trade vessels! I chose to sit on the middle level because it was decorated with beautiful cuckoo clocks, which fondly reminded me of my own trip to Germany's Black Forest region and of visiting a clock factory there, where I saw the massive cuckoo clocks. For my meal, I ordered the pork schnitzel, which came served with warm German potato salad, sweet red cabbage, and a crisp cucumber salad. The pork schnitzel was cooked absolutely perfectly and tasted so good. I knew German potato salad was traditionally served warm, but I wasn't quite expecting the strong tang of the vinegar, though I thoroughly enjoyed the cabbage and cucumbers. To finish the meal, I debated between the German chocolate cake and the apple strudel. I ultimately chose the strudel for a more authentic experience, as German chocolate cake is actually an American creation rather than a traditional German one. The strudel arrived warm and was incredibly tasty!

I've been wanting to go here, but now I am not. I'm…read moreabsolutely disgusted to hear that a mother can't even share food off of her plate with her baby/child without being nickel and dimed for it. How could you charge extra for that? She's not even getting extra food! This is shameful. I've attached the post that was on the one of the Wilmington pages.
