It is very rustic which made it feel super authentic It is owned by a family husband and wife. I wish I asked for her name all smiles she greeted us and I decided to get the 3 meat combo which I picked the cordon bleu, the chicken schnitzel and the pork schnitzel and I still added the wurst curry. For the sides I got the sauerkraut and the potato salad. My friend got the chicken schnitzel with the cabbage and French fries Let me start by saying it is CHEAP!! My plate is $21.50! It is huuuge! Me the one who can eat a lot! I couldn't even tackle half of it! It definitely can feed easily 2 hungry people! Everything tasted amazing! The cordon bleu though is next next level! I so wish it is closer to me I would just go have lunch there every single Saturday! Also it is true when service is friendly the whole experience becomes better! This lady is pure joy... she is always laughing! After the meal we were outside and she came out playing a bit with her son. It was so sweet to watch! Now this place is on my list of taking visitors... friends... whoever gets in my car going towards this area for a day trip!

If you're looking for authentic German food in Austin, The Black Forest food truck at Live Oak…read moreBrewing Company is the place for you! This food truck is so simple and unassuming, you may actually miss it. As a complement to Live Oak's German style beers, The Black Forest food is a perfect pairing for German beer. The menu focuses on classic German food. Menu favorites include Schnitzel sandwiches, bratwurst, fresh baked pretzels, house made potato salad and homemade mustard and pickled vegetables. In addition, small chips and cookies are sold for $2. We shared the pretzel...OMG, it was mutant large...enough for three people. The pretzel came with queso and stone-ground mustard (preferred the mustard). The pretzel was firm and flavorful on the outside and soft inside...ideal combination. Neil, the owner, was so super nice and shared some history regarding the brewery. He also has had a daily special. The food truck is located at Live Oak Brewing, making for an ideal German beer and food pairing experience.

We arrived early to listen to Escape Plan, the live band playing that evening. It took a few…read moreminutes for the waitress to notice us but she was smiling and friendly. I had a Tipsy Blond (named for the Brewery's cat who I saw peeking out the window!) The beer was good and flavorful. I especially like that the menu includes the IBU value for each beer as I prefer beers with little bitterness. After I ordered beer, I flipped the menu over to discover many more cocktail and wine options! We had Rueben's, turkey burger or the regular burger and we all enjoyed the food. My tots were sprinkled with a peppery seasoning that gave them a bit of kick and they were very crispy. I'd suggest them over the fries which were not as crisp. The outdoor seating was cooled by a nice breeze. There is a small indoor bar. The main entrance is on the side street but is also accessible from Castell Ave. I can see enjoying another evening here!

Last night we decided on a whim to eat out and picked Krause's from my bucket list. When we…read morearrived, they were hosting a ticketed event and the outdoor area was very busy, with the parking lot full. Fortunately, we were still able to get a table in the café without any issue. I'm giving 4 stars mainly due to the service. Our server seemed quite disinterested, and when we asked about the drink menu, it wasn't clear whether he was unfamiliar with it or simply not inclined to go through it with us. Either way, the experience in that area wasn't great. We ordered the Rueben fries, and Texas schnitzel and both were amazing, the food came out fresh and hot and we had zero complaints. The gravy with the schnitzel was so flavorful and the green beans were cooked to perfection. For dessert we ordered the hummingbird cake and wasnt let down by our choice. With better service this would have been a 5 star review for sure.

San Antonio is definitely lacking in German food restaurants. Typically have to drive to…read moreFredericksburg to get decent fare. We found out the food truck would be at Windmill Farms Winery, east of Bucee's in New Braunfels. My wife could not wait for them to pull up and start serving. After talking with Brent, I learned he was in the Army and spent a lot of years in Germany. The menu had a lot of variations on schnitzel. We decided to get the Jagerschnitzel with Hunter Mushroom Sauce. It was so good. Breading was thin and the meat was tender and flavorful. The plates are quite affordable and come with two sides. We chose the red cabbage and cucumber salad. The cabbage was a little sweet and had a nice flavor. The cucumbers were thinly sliced and fresh. We also had the warm pretzel with cheese sauce. The outside of the pretzel had a good pretzel flavor and inside was warm and fluffy. The cheese sauce was so good I wished for a tub it it with a spoon. You need to track them down and give them a try. They have a page on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/schnitzelit/

My only complaint was the set up when you walked into the event- I needed to give out bracelets at the entrance to my guests, which was where the bar was and then our buffet line. Upon arrival it was very chaotic. I'd suggest arriving early to figure something else out if you hosting an event on that terrace. The place was pretty busy for a Monday night, but the food was hot and the servers we had were right on top of drink orders. I did have a few people complain to me about the taste of the well margaritas. It was too sweet and I'm not totally sure there was any tequila

For those that have issues finding parking on the Main Street, it's good to note that they have a small lot in the back for customers as well. Alstadt Peach Radler - Top of the list of what I personally enjoyed at the Auslander. This beer was a light, crisp, and refreshing beer with a hint of peach flavor. Definitely something to enjoy on a hot day. This was my happy place drink. Beer Battered Mushrooms - The shrooms here were better than most other German establishments I've dined at. Reasonably sized mushrooms with a non overly heavy batter. Portions were bigger than expected and would readily satisfy a group of four. Jägerschnitzel - A fair sized slab of fried pork goodness smothered in a red wine mushroom gravy. The pork loin was a good thickness and not an overly pounded thin cutlet. Breading was good, but didn't stick much to the protein. Gravy was just okay in my opinion and had a hint of sourness to it for some reason. Not a terrible entree but wasn't mind blowing either. Currywurst - The bratwurst with this meal was a solid portion of meat that was full of porky goodness. Curry ketchup had the spice flavoring to it, but wasn't particularly strong. It was a fair entree, nothing mind blowing, but still a good comfort dish. Sides - All the entrees came with a choice of two sides. Fries were just fries... good, but nothing special. Mashed potatoes tasted like the usual suspect, mashed potatoes. Potato salad was properly cooked and prepared with some simple vinegary and cream flavors. Red cabbage tasted like vinegared red cabbage. All in all, the sides were just okay. Everything was for the most part clear cut of what was good and just okay. In that terms, there seemed to be a strange and wildly large chasm between what was okay and good in terms of the food. I was satisfied at the end of the meal, but at the same time not unhappy nor super happy with my meal. I was just... satisfied/okay. Food felt a bit overpriced for what we received, otherwise this establishment felt more like a one-and-done type of place.
