    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!

    If your in the Catskills and are looking for a place to eat this is it. This is the 2nd time I…read morehave been here and I Love this restaurant. All of the staff here are really nice & friendly. We started with Drinks. I had the Martini Special for the 4th of July and my husband had a Apple Spritzer made with Champagne. We went out to dinner today for my birthday. We started with the crispy brussel sprouts appetizer. It is sooo good. We had the Pan Seared Chicken which came with Fresh sautéed Green Beans and Polenta. The polenta was served in a square. I liked it that way and it made it easy to dunk in the Mushroom Gravy that came with the Chicken. My Mom had the Pan Seated Chicken too but they accommodated her by making a separate gravy minus the butter and hers was served with Salad & French Fries. We also had the Steak Tacos and a Watermelon Salad which was also delicious. We ended with dessert which was a Rubard Lemon tart and Black Raspberry Ice Cream wth whipped cream and a cherry. We totally enjoyed ourselves. My Moms have been coming to this restaurant for years. They also have a outdoor area behind the main restaurant called The Hill whete they have live music. The Restaurant is very clean, there is stonework throught out. It has a very warm relaxing vibe to it. As walk through the doors you are Always Welcomed with a Smile. Thank you for a very enjoyable dinner

    Food was decent but the prices are wild. We are visiting July 3rd and it is incredibly hot in the…read morerestaurant. It has to be like 70-80 degrees in here. We could barely eat the food it was so hot... there was also no air flow and everyone at our table could barely breathe it felt like, hence why it was hard to enjoy anything. I get that there is a heatwave, but we called around to many restaurants who closed down due to the heat so we felt like this was a safe bet. Took around 45 mins to get the food as well. Staff was sweet, but we lost our waitress halfway through which was aggravating. Our food came out and we asked for more drinks (soft drinks) and condiments and she never came back until we hunted her down for the check. Don't think we will be coming back.
