    Sausage Medley
    Sean C.

    WOW! I've been waiting to try this spot for so long and I'm bummed that it took so long because our table was amazed. We went for a late lunch, which was a perfect idea to split tons of items and try a bit of everything. Everything was delectable, no misses!! Our table specifically enjoyed the spätzle, the potato salad, and each of the sausages. While the chicken was good, it wasn't anything super special (fried chicken, ya kno). The menu was quite extensive and I can't wait to go back and try more options and not share :)

    A delicious and hearty stop after a morning hike is just what I needed. Super lively inside with a fantastic beer selection. Feels like a place that locals and weekenders visit alike. There was a food truck outside that served limited fare, but I Ordered some schnitzel inside to go so I could eat with some friends that opted for the truck food. The estimate they provided upon ordering was pretty accurate and luckily it was okay to bring the beers around the back too. Would recommend!

    Brats

    I've lived in this area my entire life, and somehow missed this restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]First off, it is sooo cute and cozy inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartenders and staff go above and beyond and they're so friendly. The drink menu is sold, with an ample selection of beers. I went with brats for dinner, which were hot, tasty, and filling. The winner of the night was the honey cake... omg, it's to die for! The Irish coffee was also an excellent choice with dessert. Highly recommend!

    Corn Beef Strudel Appetizer

    Bavarian pretzel with smoked gouda to start, Reuben strudel that has no business being as good as it is, Chicken Jaeger over spaetzle, and a Schweinshaxe that could anchor a table. Two draft stouts. Apfelstrudel to close. Solo lunch, $111 with tax -- no complaints. Fantastic and hospital service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Patio was scenic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We have been regular customers of Mountain Brauhaus for nearly two years and, after many visits, have a good sense of both its strengths and weaknesses. The food is unquestionably the restaurant's strongest asset. The menu is diverse, includes a kid-friendly selection, and offers an excellent variety of German favorites. One of our personal favorites is the schnitzel. I prefer the chicken version, though pork is also available. The cutlet is pounded thin, crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and served with red cabbage and the restaurant's signature spaetzle. Portions are generous and prices are very reasonable. Another standout is the Königsberger Klops--veal and pork meatballs simmered in Spaten beer and served over spaetzle with capers. While listed as an entrée, we often share it as an appetizer. We also never miss the Beet & Goat Cheese Salad, which combines roasted local beets, candied walnuts, fresh orange, goat cheese, and a pomegranate-grapefruit vinaigrette. It's consistently excellent. Other favorites include the Sauerbraten, featuring tender marinated beef with sweet-and-sour gravy, spaetzle, and braised red cabbage, as well as the various wursts. The apple strudel, however, has been somewhat inconsistent. Sometimes it's very good, but other times it can be a bit soggy and overly sweet. Overall, we have few complaints about the food. It is consistently good, generously portioned, and affordable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is more of a mixed experience. The restaurant is beautifully situated in the mountains near the forest, but the interior lacks some of the charm one might expect from a traditional Bavarian restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A fireplace, more distinctive architectural details, or a warmer ambiance would add greatly to the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The waitstaff do wear traditional German attire, which helps create a sense of place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service, however, is where Mountain Brauhaus struggles most. Many of the servers are seasonal college students. They are generally pleasant and hardworking, but the overall experience can feel somewhat impersonal. As regular customers, we are rarely recognized from one visit to the next, largely because the staff changes so frequently. More concerning are the delays. Bread, drinks, and appetizers typically arrive promptly, but entrées often do not. On average, we have waited between 45 minutes and an hour for our main courses, and on a recent visit we waited an hour and twenty minutes. Our waitress later told us she had gone to the kitchen to inquire about the delay and was met with a curt response from the owner-chef. It appeared our order ticket may have been lost altogether. That experience left us disappointed. While we still appreciate the food and value that Mountain Brauhaus offers, the recurring service issues make it difficult to overlook the long waits. We will likely return, but perhaps not as often as we once did. Rating: 3.5 to 4 stars out of 5. Excellent food and value, but inconsistent service and long waits prevent it from being a truly outstanding dining experience.

    Well, I see I first posted in 2016 about Mountain Brauhaus. Everything is exactly the same excellence, all around. I can only say that this place never disappoints. It is still one of my favorite restaurants. Shout out to the GREAT and friendly staff.

    Pot Roast
    Claire F.

    The food at the brauhaus is truly incredible. We went on a Friday night and although it was busy, they squeezed us in at a table in the bar area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was fun and lively.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered appetizers & entrees knowing we'd have leftovers for the weekend. The schnitzel, pot roast, klops & potato pancakes all come highly recommended!!! We will be back for sure

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great food and great service in a warm and friendly atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's definitely worth going out of your way if you're anywhere close to Gardiner.

    1st time to the Mountain Brauhaus and we'll definitely be back! Set off 87 as you drive through New Paltz, you are immediately transported into the deep mountain valley with limited to no cell service. Reservations are highly encouraged and they were prompt on honoring our time that we made the reservation for. Many walk ins tried to get a table but only space at the bar was available as they were fully booked with reservations! We started with the Rueben strudel that I wanted to loved but it honestly wasn't that hot nor crisp but the accompanying sauces were delicious. The children's portions are extreme fair sized and the chicken was a huge hit! All the dinner platters were hardy and delicious with leftovers to take home, the highlights we're definitely the potato pancakes and that gravy for the pot roast I wish I could have bought a quart to bring home! From the first call to book our reservation to the hostess that seated us to our server and waitstaff that assisted her we're all very friendly and on point. Overall a fantastic dining experience with an even better beer list that was a huge highlight of our meal!

    Schnitzel A La Holstein
    Elliot K.

    Amazing German cuisine. We both had the chicken schnitzel prepared different ways - very good and very large portions. Next time we are splitting one dish. Each entree comes with a salad and we had the house onion vinaigrette. Also, we started with onion rings - they were great however, we should have started with the barvarian pretzel from the looks of it, it was much better and more of a classic. Service was great, plenty of people around filling up water glasses and taking empty plates. We also were seated with a nice view of the mountains so ambiance was good. I would highly recommend making a reservation- yes, it's old school calling to make a reservation however very worth it as we walked in and were seated immediately. We didn't have any room for dessert however they looked really good!

    The decor reminds you of a German Brauhaus. We had 2pm reservations and were seated promptly. Our…read morewaitress was friendly and attentive. Our drinks came out quickly As for our appetizers they came out promptly and were delicious. As for our main meals, the portions were perfect and the flavors were great. If you're look for authentic german cuisine the Jaeger Haus is the place to go!!! I am looking forward to our next visit.

    On our way back from meeting our new grandson for the first time in Rhinebeck ((born early this…read moremorning, 10-4-25, and everyone doing splendidly) , we stopped at one of our favorite local places for authentic tasting German food--Jaeger Haus (5084 NY-9G) in Tivoli, NY.  My one sentence review for card-carrying members of team Cliff Notes: "German beer on tap, a good selection of German wines, and authentic tasting German cuisine at really reasonable prices served up by friendly staff in an environment which just exudes Gemütlichkeit."  Everyone else is invited to continue reading, Bitte. There used to be numerous German restaurants in NYC and throughout upstate NY, but over the years those numbers have dwindled substantially to a handful.  A relatively new addition to the local Hudson Valley dining scene Jaeger Haus was started in 2018 (in a 70 year old restaurant building) and serves up seriously tasty and authentic tasting German beer, wine, and food.  We've dined there a few times over the last two years of visiting this year--the mood is relaxed, the beer is delicious, and food remind us of our travels to Germany and Austria.  The menu is tight and by that I mean it's focused on what they do well--which is traditional German food. While I wish they might add a few classic German appetizers to their menu for variety, their range of entrees provides ample choice and I am slowly making my way through those selections. Lola, one of our servers for the evening, quickly took our drink orders.  I ordered a mug of Hofbrau Original Lager (on tap) and after being given a tasting, my wife ordered a pint of Hofbrau Weissbier (which is similar to the sort of wheat beer she occasionally enjoys).  So refreshing.  A basket of house-made thinly sliced Roggenbrot (rye bread) arrived soon after our drinks with softened butter, lightly sprinkled with sea salt. We passed on the appetizers, knowing that our entrees would be substantial.  My wife ordered the Wienershcnitzel which comes with braised red cabbage and house-made spaetzle lightly sauced with a cream gravy.  These are classic sides which one can find served in restaurants from Vienna or Munich to Heidelberg or Berlin.  I ordered exactly the same thing (having tried other dishes on our prior visits), except I ordered my Wienerschnitzel "a la Holstein" (with a fried local farm egg).  The egg, especially the large yolk, provides an added level of lusciousness to the crispy veal.   Our meals arrived in due course.  They were gorgeous to look at and ate even better than they looked.  The spaetzles were soft and fluffy, the red cabbage was rich and well spiced, and the veal . . . the veal was heavenly.  Crisp on the outside, fork tender on the inside, dipping into a bit of the egg yolk (in my case); goodness what a delightful taste sensation. Just delicious.  We both earned "clean plate" certificates tonight--suitable for framing--felt satiated, but not overly full (which is where we like to end a meal).  We nursed our beers a bit longer, sharing memories from this special day, paid our bill (the bill encouraged customers to tip in cash, which we did), thanked the staff, bid the co-owner "danke schön und Wiedersehen" and we were on our way.
