Always love coming here! Great for events. Such a great vibe so many different cool areas around the venue great drinks and awesome food

Great establishment. Live music, nice aesthetic, and festive ambiance. My biggest reason for writing this review is not only to highlight the establishment's food and venue, but to give special attention to the staff. The staff is very welcoming and accommodative. I frequent this establishment with parties ranging from 5 to 10 people and am always met with patience and kindness, especially from the security team. Most noteworthy among the security team is Mike-- a kind security representative that goes above and beyond to show fine hospitality to guests, make sure their needs are tended to, and ensures the safety of each guest upon departure around closing time. Mike and his team are class acts. I have a wonderful time when I come here because of their great care for customers. read more

Yesterday was my first time actually going to a restaurant for formal dining in over 6 months. I've been reluctant to go to dine in at any restaurant (inside or outside), but hearing great reviews for Plattdeutsche's focus on safety, I decided it was worth venturing out here first. This particular occasion was thanks to Josh G, who invited us to join him for an early dinner. We arrived on a Saturday at 4:30, which during October historically can be an incredibly busy day (thanks of course to the gorgeous weather and Oktoberfest). When we arrived, we were ushered into one back entrance, where an employee asked us COVID-related questions and took individual temperatures. From there we waited for a host to take us to a table. It was clear that social distancing was being enforced. Every outdoor seat had a white box around it, with the instructions indicating we could take off our masks in our individual box but must have a mask on outside that box. Everyone was respecting this rule. Arriving at our table we were provided paper (disposable) menus. Every member of the wait staff was wearing a face mask and face shield. Bussing staff were also wearing gloves. I also noticed that the bathrooms had their own lines to get in with tape on the ground spacing everyone at least 6 feet apart. For this particular meal I ordered sauerbraten and potato pancakes with a Dunkel to drink. Others ordered mini Bavarian sliders, Mac and cheese bites, various schnitzel, and a giant pretzel. The dunkel came in a plastic cup, and we were brought plastic utensils wrapped in individual plastic. Regular entrees were brought out on porcelain plates. As expected, food was as good as ever. On this particular evening, we also had a band begin playing outside at about 6:00, playing traditional German music, really adding to the Oktoberfest vibe. For a moment it made me feel like we were back in pre-COVID times, but the illusion didn't last long. When we left, there was literally a line to get in. Here's where they lose a star for me. By 6:30 when we left the place felt a bit too busy to be safe. Even though the Biergarten is very large, everyone is social distanced and guidelines were being followed, I felt like there were maybe too many people. I was glad we went so early because there were at least 100 people there when we left. Either way, I'm really happy to see my favorite German restaurant thriving and was so glad to get to celebrate Oktoberfest even if just for a short while. read more

Traditional Biergarten in Long Island. Who would have thunk it. Large wide grounds, plenty of space for outdoor and indoor seating. Had sample wurst platter, pretzels. Ok. Also ordered lagers, very good. Three beers pretzel and sampler wurst platter was 70, which was a bit steep. But the environment, experience and beer made up for it. Great for dates and events. Very popular on Sunday night when we went. Hard to see the place from outside, tricky entrance to get in. read more

Nasty wait staff that takes forever to bring cold food. Too crowded and running on a waitstaff skeleton crew. You get up to go to the bathroom and your table is given away. Plus your purse is inspected when you enter. Wth? Also they charge above the prices on the menu which is totally illegal. They claim the prices are for cash discount but that is not posted. read more

Meh, it's okay. We tried a whole bunch of things. Pretzel, potato pancakes, fried cheese, wings, sausage sampler, German fries, among other things. Everything was room temperature. Literally, not one thing was hot. And nothing was great. Good at best. It's fine but I'd have to think there are much better German places on Long Island. read more

We love this place.They have great bands, good food, and the outdoor seating with fire pits is perfect for large groups. This is one of our favorite places to just hang out and hear good music. However, they recently upped the entrance fee from $ 5 to $ 8 per person, even if you are there to have dinner. An additional $8 per person on top of the dinner bill can add up to a lot if you have a large group. If you're there for dinner the entrance fee should be waived. Friends have said they will not eat there anymore, just on principal. read more

I came here the other night for the first time and I had a great time. I didn't go to the actual restaurant, we just hung our in the beer hall/garden. They had a nice verity of German Beers on tap. My friends and I got a bunch of them and liked everything we tried. I know some of the things we got were Krombacher, Schöfferhofer Grapefruit, Spaten, Hacker Pachorr Oktoberfest. You can get either a full liter or half a liter. The prices were good, it was $7 for .5 liter. The food was late night good. It's hard for me to judge because all I tried was the pretzel and french fries and it was good, but nothing that could really be messed up. The pretzel is impressively large though. Ordered two of them and couldn't finish it all. The only thing that is bad is that it is crowded. We got there early, around 7 pm and the place was already really full and getting fuller. The line for drinks can take a while, so I recommend buying the full liter sizes of beer and/or multiple drinks so that you won't have to go back on line multiple times. Same goes for the food line. I had one friend wait on the drink line and another friends wait on the beer line so that it wouldn't take as long. Overall I had a great time and highly recommend this place. I will be returning again with other friends for sure. read more

The sausage or bratwurst or whatever you call it oooohhhhh baby it's good stuff. My main experience in the Restaurant was a private party, the food was great. All other times I've been to Plattduetsche were for the bar area, live music etc. Big beers, picnic tables to chill and drink and socialize, food at the other end, pretzels and the like. Nice outdoor get drunk all ages experience. read more

Plattduetsche Park - German Near Me - Franklin Square, New York

Delicious, with a capital D! Came here with my older brother (not pictured) to enjoy some authentic German food and beer. In the era of Covid, our "new normal" during "unprecedented" times... it can be tough to find things to do for entertainment. Fortunately - Plattduetsche has reopened and they are ready to roll. We were led to believe that there was only outdoor dining, but I did see some people eating inside so maybe you have to specially request that or there is some sort of secret handshake? We sat outdoors and it was a nice summer day outside. We each had a serving of the potato pancakes and then shared the platter pictured below. Everything felt very clean and safe. Someone even cleaned the urinal basically immediately after I used it. They followed me in the bathroom like Navi from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I will definitely be back, let me rephrase that - I cannot WAIT to go back! read more

Haven't been in quite a while but this is the most authentic German food anywhere outside Germantown. The service is, well, German - plentiful and you might as well let the server decide what you'll eat. Ambiance is, well, Old town German. Go for the food, stay for the oompah music read more

Yesterday, the traffic heading to Suffolk county was a complete disaster, what happens when the zombie apocalypse comes and we all have to leave Long Island? This is too much to hash out, I need a beer. Plattduetsche Park Restaurant here I come. I had to park 3 blocks away because there's a neighborhood party?? Over the years people have said this is a great place to see a band, there's a beer garden, they serve huge beers, bookmarked! I came over the summer for lunch and the place was closed so be aware of the times. Walking from the parking lot a few blocks away, I went in the side door. I see steps going downstairs, to the right looked like a wedding hall and to the left looked like where the dining action was happening. I walked by an office, there was a cheery woman behind the desk. She came out to greet me, can I help you? Yes! I'm soooo hungry, please point me where to go. We walk to the bar area and inside there's yet another room for dining. The bar is fine, thanks :) Once I'm seated, its on. There are a few German beer taps. Schofferhofer beer leaps out, its my favorite but I'd like to try something new. Not too dark I tell the bartender. He pour me a beer that's just right. First time here, I'm going for the Schnitzel. There is lots of choices to make, their website has a section called "Wurst Heaven"! Bratwurst, Curry wurst, Knackwurst, Krainerwrust, Bockwurst, there's a lotta wurst! Then, there's schnitzel. Jaeger schnitzel, Westphalian schnitzel, Champignon rahmschnitzel, Ziguener schnitzel and even Chicken schnitzel. I'm a sucka for Wiener schnitzel so I had their traditional Wiener schnitzel. A breaded, fried veal cutlet served with lingonberries and you get two side choices. I chose red cabbage and dumplings. O.M.G! The Wiener schnitzel is made PERFECTLY. Meat that's pounded thin yet fried with some crunch and the meat stayed juicy. I don't know what to do with lingonberries but I was dipping my cutlet in it, yummy. Now here's where panic sets in. I'm reading Yelp reviews while eating and I see THE BAR IS CASH ONLY. Man... I have $27 bucks in my wallet! I'm thinking I'm gonna have to either fight my way out of the bar or be a galley slave. The bill comes, I smile and and whip out the ATM card. The bartender took my card and said have a great nite. Whew. Plattduetsche Park Restaurant is serving up big beers and some great authentic German food. There are so many choices, I want to try everything. Prost! read more

I love this place. I've got to tell you even when they're crowded it's still great. The atmosphere is unlike any other restaurant! They have entertainment entertainment. The camaraderie is a very nice experience. The workers/ servers are all pleasant and very helpful and very quick.. the Food is excellent. I love coming here; just love it, Love it, love it. I definitely would recommend it. read more

This is hands down my favorite outdoor dining spot in terms of Covid precautions. I'd never heard of this place before, but have already been there 3 times. From taking your temperature as you enter, to very spaced out tables (in our own 6 feet radius boxes), to specifically taped off walkways, to fully sanitized bathroom stalls before/after anyone enters, I've felt extremely safe every time I've come to Plattduetsche Park Restaurant. The whole experience was very "easy". They essentially turned their parking lot into one huge outdoor dining space (think size of a soccer field) and put one 8-10 person table per "box". Even though we've come as a party of 2, we were given our own box each time, which I appreciated, though I've seen two separate parties sharing a box (likely were asked if OK first, during peak time). That being said, I've come at around 530/6 every time and there was plenty of seating that we were allowed to pick our preferred table. I did see starting at 7 or so, it started to fill up so that all tables were taken by the time we left at 8/9. All the staff are masked the whole time and people are required to be masked while in the walkaway until reaching their own boxes. Service was attentive and helpful. Also every time I've been there (Friday and Saturday evenings) there has been live music, was was an added bonus. Felt like pre-Covid times. Parking was very easy on the street. My only qualm is the food - I wasn't a fan of the dishes I tried (frankfurter, spaetzle were both average) but maybe I just don't like German food. I should try something more mainstream (fries, burger) next time. But that is a small negative amidst many positives. Highly recommend Plattduetsche Park Restaurant for those looking for a safe yet inviting environment for a small party or large group. read more

I go back and forth with this place. Yesterday, went to watch the same old Jets there. Food and drink were on point, but.... 1) My main order of the Wurst Platter took way to long. I believe the runner took it to another table, because later on in the afternoon, after I told the waitress of the delay and was finally served and had eaten, the runner was about to set some additional food down at our table that we had not ordered. When we told him so, he rechecked the table ticket and delivered it to the correct table. 2) Near the end of the game, the TV we had been watching was switched to a different game. We had been there for close to three hours, and as paying customers we wanted to watch the end of the lousy, freaking game. The waitress corrected it, but then it happened not once, not twice but thrice more 3) They now have a credit card surcharge of 3% read more

Literally the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. We reserved a table in the dining room and instead was seated in the bar area. Throughout the entire meal, loud drunk partygoers from the catering hall would come in and stand practically on top of our table, yelling, swearing doing shots, and acting obnoxious. When bringing this to the attention of the waitress it was laughed off like it was no big deal. Overpriced horrible food and outdated rundown restaurant. Will never come here again. read more

We've been regulars in the beer garden forever, but recently had a baptism here in one of their private catering rooms. We did it cocktail party style and could not have been more pleased. Service was great, food was delicious and prices were reasonable. Really glad we went with the Platt! Derek, our favorite bartender from the beer garden even came in on his day off to be our bartender and made everything that much more special! read more

If you like big places, beer gardens, and live bands, this is the place. The German food is really good if you prefer that type. The restaurant side is above average and rest of place is ginormous. I love the look of all the wood features and has a lodge type of feel to it. I believe it covers several blocks. In the summer they open it up to the outdoors and there is plenty of room. The only negative is parking. If you get there early enough, they have ample parking, but some bands and nights can get pretty packed. read more

Went yesterday at noon. Food was old and stale. It was cold. Potato pancakes and little Baverians were tasteless and rubbery.

Authentic German food great atmosphere and most of all service is top notch. We have attended events here and they never seem to disappoint.

This place is always a great time! The bartenders are always super friendly and helpful if you are unsure what to get. I love how big the beer garden is and overall how spacious the place is. I love coming here during October! They have awesome bites outside, they have giant pretzels, chicken sandwiches and more. Make sure you bring cash if you are looking to grab a bite outside. They also have an atm available if needed. I would definitely recommend to come here for beer and an awesome atmosphere! read more

Wasn't that crazy about this place. The main dining area was fully booked so we sat in the indoor area of the beer garden. There are people at the front checking IDs. They made my sister check a bag of chocolates that she was giving to me as a gift...ridiculous. My fam and I shared: Giant pretzel with 3 dipping sauces (sweet and hot mustard + the cheesey dip obatza for THREE more dollars in a tiny plastic cup) Bavarian wurst sampler platter-4 different wursts with sauerkraut and homemade German potato salad (only 2 of 3 were good) Traditional Wiener Schnitzel-A large portion and super crispy served with lingonberries and lemon Champignon Schnitzel-basically the same exact thing as traditional with a dollop of white mushroom cream sauce on top. Our server was nice and even went along with my dad's corny jokes. But the food was not memorable. read more

First time I was EVER here, and I look forward to coming back. The location is absolutely beautiful, with a very old school look, a nice looking bar, and a lot of room for dining. They make their own beer, which I will say is absolutely fantastic. It's the kind of place that the beer will keep you coming back! They look to have the ability to have a huge party, and that can most likely seat over 200 people. What's even neater is they have a Beer Hall, all the way on the outside, and it looks stunning. For food, I had a Chicken Schnitzel, an old school German dish, that was with a wonderful cream sauce to it. My wife went with a Bratwurst, that looked to have a nice spicy kick to it, which made it even better. One of the best things that we had ordered, and it's a MUST try, is a pretzel. I believe it came from overseas, in Germany, and it was arguably the best pretzel I ever had. Every item was wonderful to eat, but that pretzel is so tasty, and it goes wonderful with a few beers. If you have never made the attempt to come to this location, I strongly suggest it, there's a lot of history to it, and I believe they also have bands playing there too. read more

What a fun dinner! We ended up going for the OKtoberfest celebration on a random afternoon and we scored an outdoor table. The giant pretzel was just like the one I had in Munich and it disappeared quickly with the delicious cheese sauce and a grainy honey mustard. We definitely wanted more of it but the toddler ate most of it. We also shared a bratwurst platter and a veal schnitzel with spaetzle. The food was so good! We washed it all down with lots of yummy and delicious beer. I liked the fact that on top of the traditional German beer they had some local beers on tap. The music was live and lots of people were dancing. The atmosphere was welcoming and joyous. The staff was super busy but friendly and helpful. We definitely had a delicious dinner and will go back again. read more

The tap beers are so fresh and tasty! The food was basic nothing extraordinary and has a wide range of fried foods

Went again and food was just fantastic. Everyone loved it! They no longer had the games out for kids but still totally kid friendly bc it's loud and lots of space. A kid menu might be appreciated but they had pretzels and chicken fingers so it was fine. The traditional Biergarten atmosphere and huge steins of beer are just awesome. Love it here. read more

We can here for dinner on Saturday night since we wanted to change it up and try something different. My husband also likes the band who was playing so decided to have dinner and then walk over to the beer hall. We started with the potato pancakes, he had Sauerbraten and I had the veggie burger with a garden salad for dessert he had the Apfelstrudel with vanilla ice cream. The server was attentive the decor was nondescript and too bright for my liking for dinner. The potato pancakes were nicely prepared. They were crispy and not oily. My husband liked the sauerbraten he said it was one of the better ones he has had. The beef was flavorful and tender, the red cabbage was tasty. My veggie burger was charred and came with fries the server took it back and replaced it. The veggie burger was good if you like bean burgers which I do. The apple strudel was good but not flakey but still a nice choice. Overall it was a positive experience. We would go back a word of caution parking can be challenging. read more

Staff is rude when not ignoring you. They add a charge to every check for using a credit card before they even know how you're paying. They don't mention it so unless you look closely you are being ripped off. Food was bland and as far as the potato salad being German I'm not sure it was even potato salad, just some slice boiled potatoes. Disappointed and someone better look into the credit card charge added to check without notice and before knowing how you will be paying. read more

If you're looking for a hearty German meal in a fun and cheery atmosphere, this is the place. Plattduetsche (why do they spell it like that? Shouldn't it be deutsche?) is a multi-faceted venue: restaurant, beer garden, catering hall that doubles as a music venue...I'm speaking now strictly of the restaurant a/k/a main dining room experience. As others said, it's large, bright, colorful, open, and easily could get a bit loud. Big tables including several rounds that could hold eight or more, kitschy old-world German decor accented by a beehive motif (also noticed on the dinnerware). Smiling and sweet waitresses costumed in charming dirdls that are designed to be a little bit of tease but not the trashy low-cut ones. And they didn't seem to mind wearing them. Atmosphere 4 stars. Appetizer: friend brie with seasonal fruit: this was out of this world and I would definitely order again. Four nice logs of brie in a panko/sliced almond coating mix, lightly fried, accompanied with orange and apple slices and sitting atop of mound of lingonberries in syrup. Never had a lingonberry to my knowledge and I regret having waited so long. Kind of a marriage of cherry with blueberry, bringing out the best of each. Sweet enough and went so well with the brie. 5 stars. My entree: another addition to my foodie lexicon is ziguener schnitzel, a pork dish (so many schnitzels, who knew?) featuring unbreaded pork cutlet. Trying to reduce my carb intake a bit. The brown sauce was thick and just a little sweet. Mounds of mushrooms and peppers on top. The presentation was gorgeous, but the food didn't really *WOW* me. It was good -- definitely good -- but not memorable (as was, let's say, that fried brie!). Same could be said for the accompanying potato pancakes and red cabbage. They seemed to be asking for just a bit more seasoning. 3 stars. My husband's entree: here's where we ran into trouble. Pork shank, which took the forewarned 25 minutes, and he was just not happy at all. Skin was too hard, shank was not meaty, and it was very dry. This was really bad because 1) he loves pork shank and hasn't had the dish in ages; 2) we came here specifically because they had it; 3) at $29 it's the priciest item on the menu. Alas, only 2 stars here. However... we decided that we needed to express our dissatisfaction, and were soon greeted by Assistant Manager Christina, who was patient and kind, and took steps to compensate us very adequately for the disappointing pork shank. High marks on the customer care here. Dessert was a piece of warm apple strudel with fresh whipped cream. So good. So we're averaging out at 3.5 stars. Hope to get a chance to update. I expect at least to have the opportunity to check out the beer hall in the not too distant future and I think that at the next dining experience, I will make a point to ask for recommendations based on what our taste buds are craving. Danke schoen, Plattduetsche, we will meet again. read more

Old School German restaurant where the beer is cold as it should be the food was great and the service first rate

This place is fun. They have a good beer list and the night I went there was a live band which was fun. They have a section with sofas & fire pits which is great for a chilly night like we had. The food is also good. I had the brat burger, tasty & a great take on a burger. The giant pretzel with cheese & mustard is classic. You do have to park a little far and walk in so I wouldn't recommend wearing heals if you have to park in the field. Everything is clearly marked for where you have to go and park. read more

I only gave this 4 stars because German food isn't my favorite. I have to say that from Hempstead tpke you would never know that this massive establishment exists I've heard of it as a great music venue and finally went last night for a band called Wonderous Stories. Nice menu. Pretzels are imported from Germany and are so good, they taste like cake. Not the huge selection of beer I expected but good enough. Delicious potato salad and sauerkraut. Excellent service. The staff were fast and friendly. Fantastic huge outdoor area to eat and hear music. Parking lots are humongous. I'd totally go again read more

Great time in the beer garden in picnic tables all for us. While we could not enjoy the inside or sit at the bar at the time, our waitress did a great job keeping the drinks flowing and handling our order. As always, the Bavarian sliders are a hit with our group. I'm pretty sure those are worthy of making a trip there and thats without even mentioning their beer selection. They also had some live music that night which makes for a great time. Overall they are doing a great job with the COVID guidelines. They have each picnic table taped off so you know where your zone is. Definitely still a good spot during the pandemic. read more
