First time, having authentic German cuisine and this place did not let me down. First the service when you walk in is very accommodating we got our table switched over before we even sat with no issues. We take a look at the menu and notice that the pricing even for being downtown was very fair and somewhat surprisingly cheap. Especially once the food came out, they could be charging 50% more and I'd still be happy. The mac & cheese is something I've never tasted before very different but comfortable at the same time I believe three different cheeses are in it. I don't really like waffles or pancakes, but my girlfriend told me to try the potato pancakes and they blew my mind with the chive, sour cream and applesauce sides.. Now we could've just ordered from the appetizer menu since everything seemed perfect from there, but the Brussel sprout appetizer was by far my favorite with poppyseed vinaigrette. We had plenty to take home, and I finished it off the next day still amazed at how well it was put together. I got the chicken schnitzel for my main and it is perfectly prepared and cooked. The breading was fantastic crunchy in every delicious way I even use the applesauce as a dip along with the mushroom sauce that it came with my girlfriend got the Rachel sandwich and she loved her choice as well. Overall, everything we ate from the appetizer menu to main course menu to even the french fries and dipping sauces was phenomenal and again I cannot stress it is enough. The price is unbelievable for this quality of food. read more

The food at Prost Biergarten was delicious. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The atmosphere was also very nice and made us excited for the experience. Unfortunately, the service was very poor. The woman helping us was rude and seemed irritated the entire time we were there. We felt unwelcome and uncomfortable, which really took away from the visit. It was disappointing because the food was so good. With better service, this place could easily deserve a much higher rating. read more

While walking around downtown, I decided to stop in a German restaurant as they offered outdoor seating. There was an indoor section as well if you preferred that. The waitstaff were extremely friendly and ensured I was taken care of throughout my time in the restaurant. My waitress was knowledgeable in the beer selection and able to help me decided on what beers to do in my flight. Since I was at a German restaurant, I went with the traditional bratwurst and I was not disappointed! It was flavorful and delicious. The only complaint I have is that the fries were too greasy for my liking. Sitting outside on a beautiful day was a highlight of the meal. Although the football game was on and different tables were talking, it was still overall quiet. Definitely recommend if you're in the Wilmington area! read more

This is now a favorite of ours when in town. Affordable. Drinks are great. Prices are decent. Food was excellent. Service was top notch. The place can be a bit loud, but it manageable. They had a band playing out back. We chose to sit inside. I would recommend. The fish and chips was excellent. The pretzel's with the mustard they serve was addictive. They should sell the mustard in a jar. Not sure how they made it so good. We would return the next time we're in town. read more

Authentic German fare! We truly enjoyed our short stop at Prost. We sat inside at a large wooden table. Our server was friendly and prompt. We enjoyed beers for the table, and I enjoyed a flight- trying out several German beers. They have a good variety and solid prices. The best part was the German food. We ordered potato pancakes with traditional sour cream and applesauce. And we loved the spin on traditional spatzle with the Mac and cheese! So yummy and the noodles were just perfect. Overall, this is a wonderful biergarten everyone should try while in Wilmington! read more

Ooooo man! Went to a burger joint down the road and was turned away because we had our dogs (we get it). So wandered around the corner and into Prost backyard. They let our dogs hangout and soon more people with dogs showed up. Everyone struck up chatting and it felt like a true bier hall! When I tell you I love German food I can't stress that enough! I was able to have a beer, bratwurst, knackwurst, cabbage and sauerkraut! All were awesome! The staff were attentive and brought drinks for everyone quickly. Love this place! Check it out! read more

Great German food! They have selections for people who want traditional German food, as well as options for people who prefer classics, like a cheeseburger. Decent drink selection, but I do wish they had some German beers on draft. Parking is a bit of a pain (as is everywhere in downtown Wilmington). Service was fantastic, and the location is right in the middle of everything! read more

Beautiful restaurant. Love the lights and plants and the outdoor seating area out back. The servers are very knowledgeable and kind. I went with family and didn't expect anything but a salad since I'm vegan, but I was so excited to be able to also get a beyond bratwurst. My family enjoyed their food and I was so happy to have a vegan option! read more

While visiting the area we had heard about Prost and had to try this place as I really enjoy German food. The ambiance is so pretty, bright and very relaxing. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I loved the vibe here. We started with potato pancakes. They were cooked just right nice and crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. This was served with sour cream and applesauce, and the applesauce was chunky and sweet. Probably the most delicious applesauce I've ever tried. I ordered the beet salad that came with three different kinds of colored beets, goat cheese, arugula, and I added the chicken schnitzel. The beets were shaved and flavorful. The chicken was so dang good I could have eaten more. I enjoyed this lunch so much and look forward to going back to sample other delicious items. read more

What a fun modern take on a German Biergarten. Service was great, vibes were on point and the food was fantastic...oh and the beer selection was robust! The potato pancakes were probably the best I have ever had. Super fun place to come with friends or a date. Tip: in colder months make sure you have a reservation or you will sit outside. It is beautiful outside, just cold. read more

I came here for dinner with some friends and family so my friends could all meet my fiancé. My friends lived in Germany for about 10 years so I was excited to see what they thought of the food here. They were so impressed! We ordered a ton of different entrees and apps to share including the spatzle, the price fix menu (from Restaurant Week), a smashburger, various sides. Everything was tasty. The restaurant itself is lovely! We didn't make it outside to the beer garden, but it looked lovely from the inside. Definitely will be back! read more

This place is delicious and awesome! Situated close to our hotel in Wilmington, Prost has both an outdoor area in the back and an indoor section off the street. We hung out at the bar and loved it. The bartender was awesome and attentive. He convinced me to drink more simply through the power of listening to my preferences and making good suggestions! Ha. They have the best and most uniquely German sangria that I've ever tasted, and we took a picture of the ingredients to try to replicate at home. My husband also really liked his local draft beer and drank several before we set off on an evening walk. We were planning to order a full dinner, but the appetizer we got (3 sausages sampler) was ample and filled us up. So delicious with sauerkraut and Brussels sprout slaw plus mustard and curry ketchup. Try it! We had ambitions to try more (and the reviews call out so much as delicious!), but we we quickly filled up and couldn't eat more. Pity because all the dishes around us looked amazing. This place is great! read more

We were visiting Wilmington for the weekend and decided to check this place out because of the reviews and I'm glad we did! The fries were perfectly seasoned and had the perfect amount of crispiness. The inside is really cool - there's a ton of seating and it's really open. I had the kielbasa that came with a cheese sauce and it was so good. The only thing that fell a little flat was the service. Our waiter was really friendly and helpful at first but unfortunately we were left hanging for a while. We wanted extra sauce and we couldn't get it because our server never came back and someone else had to get us the check. Either way, I enjoyed the food and the vibe so I'd still recommend! read more

We had a wonderful meal here for Mother's Day today! The garden area is really beautiful and the restaurant part was, too! We sat at a table right near the window so we could people watch. The decor and lighting were elegant and romantic. We started with the pretzels. The mustard that came with it has the perfect kick of spice and the beer cheese was really good. Pretzels almost tasted like croissants. I had the Rachel sandwich was delicious! I also had the cucumber salad which had a good flavor. My dad had the Reuben and for me- I think it was one of the best ones that I ever had. The German potato salad was awesome! My mom has a salad and it was huge! Service was great and pricing wasn't bad either. I really enjoyed it here. If you are looking for healthy, ghee may be only like one thing on the menu that you could get- otherwise this is a "heavy" food place. read more

Excellent service from Alex at the outside patio bar. Drinks were absolutely delicious and food was fresh and flavorful. The only reason I can't give this place 5 stars was because when we initially walked into the indoor bar, we got hit in the face with a sewage smell and even while sitting on the back patio we would get whiffs of the smell. Pretty unpleasant. Not sure what was going on there but recommend sitting on the patio, because it's got pretty decor and great service. read more

Great experience here on their patio for happy hour. The staff were so friendly and checked in regularly. We got a few beers and shared the food.

It was all delicious and had the German style with sauerkraut and mustard. We will definitely be back. read more

My husband and I were finally able to stop by Prost for a drink. We had tried to get in when they first opened and it was impossible with the wait out the door. Now we were able to walk in the outdoor patio/Biergarten area and seat ourselves at the bar. I had a peach based drink & my husband a blackberry based drink. Both were DELICIOUS. The peach drink was probably one of my favorite drinks I've had out in a long time. Super refreshing & the perfect summer drink! The prices of the drinks are super affordable, as well as the food! After looking at the food menu we considered cancelling our reservations at another restaurant. Definitely will be back to try their food! read more

Prost Biergarten - Kielbasa and smashburger - German Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

A solid four and a half stars. Prost Biergarten is one of the newest additions to the downtown dining scene and they are coming in strong. I grew up in a German household and was really impressed by the menu offering. For me at least they'd get five stars if they did a few more "traditional" German dishes but what we had was solid. I was impressed with their beer list. They had a robust selection of local brews and more traditional European style beers which was really great. For food, we had the potato pancakes with chive sour cream and homemade applesauce. These were great! Definitely tasted homemade. We also had the spatzle which was really good as well. For dinner my husband and I had the pork schnitzel. The cabbage was delicious, as was the pork. The pork was crispy and flavorful and not at all dry. We also had it Jager style which added a nice touch. The highlight for sure was the apple cake. This was a huge slice of flaky pie crust with warm apple slices. It was amazingly good and was served with vanilla ice cream. Loved the decor and didn't have a chance to go out back into the beer garden but will definitely be back! read more

I've been to Prost a handful of times and have been satisfied every time. I loved the bar it used to be so when that closed I was disappointed, but enjoying Prost has eased that disappointment. I've gone for drinks, dates, group meals, and meals with a parent and everyone has left fairly happy. I'm a vegetarian so German food isn't typically the most appealing for me, but Prost has done a good job with their vegetarian offerings. My favorite menu is their pretzel, followed closely by the brussels sprouts. I'm not a mustard person, but their mustard has just the right amount of kick that is addictive. I've gotten one of the vegetarian sandwiches, one of the vegetarian bratwursts, and a handful of other items and all have been good, if not wonderful. They have a varied drink menu, from cocktails to mocktails to beer to wine so everyone leaves happy. Looking forward to my next trip in. read more

I love German beer and food, and was very happy to see Prost open up. For starters, love the location. Right on Front Street. Nicely decorated. Inside and outside (covered) seating. Service was good. We made a reservation thru Google, which is the smart move if you are getting dinner here on the weekends. Beer I was a little disappointed. There are no German beers on tap. Prost does have a nice selection of local and regional beers on tap. They also have German and domestic beer in bottles and cans. Food Hit and miss here. I was really wanting some German sausages as an entree, but they don't have it as an entree. You can get German sausages as part of a charcuterie board, or on a sandwich. The board came with three sausages and you can make a meal out of it. It was expensive, which BTW is a theme here. The food is expensive. The smoked pork chop is off the hook. This was the highlight of the meal. Very large and delicious (that's what she said). The kraut and potato salad sides were okay. I felt the sides were a little bland. read more

Prost Biergarten - Blueberry Mojito - German Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

We wanted something different while out in Wilmington and this restaurant hit the spot. The Kielbasa was really good and I definitely recommend getting the spatzle if you're looking for something different. They also have a pretty unique, German inspired draft menu. We also got pretzels as an appetizer and be warned, the mustard is extremely spicy. It tastes like it's mixed with wasabi but it tastes good with very small dips. While the food was good, the service was subpar. Often found myself struggling to get our server's attention throughout our visit. read more

There is nothing German about this Place except for the Bier The food has a lot to be desired and is not authentic also no German decor that indicates it's a German Restaurant u could do sho much better if you'd have done some research on other German Restaurants went there once never again read more

We came here for lunch on a Sunday and sat outside. The atmosphere is incredible. The music was great. We both got a beer on tap and shared the onion dip to start. The drinks and app were at our table in under 5 minutes. Our server was quick, knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. I ordered off the appetizer menu for my meal and was not disappointed. We were stuffed at this point and took home lots of leftovers. The price was very fair considering the quality and quantity we received. Would definitely recommend for tourists and locals alike! We will be back ! read more

Prost Biergarten - Mac and cheese and Brussels with poppy seed vinegaratte. Traditional bratwurst with fries. - German Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

There are 2 entrances, one on front street and one on the side with a paid private parking lot ($9/hr). The one on the side is where we sat, where half of it has an open roof, an open garage door, communal seating, and a bar. There is also communal sitting in the front of the restaurant. Someone had their dog at the bar so I guess you could bring dogs to the bar. The decor is cute with the lights, plants, and rustic style brick walls. All of the food was great! We started off with potato pancakes (2 pieces, $7), which came with applesauce and fresh chives sour cream. The potatoes were crispy, and I liked the thinly sliced onions in them. The applesauce was delicious, tasted homemade. For entrees we had the traditional bratwurst ($12), which comes with beer mustard, sauerkraut in a pretzel bun, housemade seasoned chips on the side and the Pork schnitzel ($16, also has a chicken option), which came with braised cabbage with caraway seeds, housemade spatzle, served with dill sour cream and lemon slices. The pork schnitzel was thin and crispy, breaded perfectly. For dessert, we tried the German blueberry cake ($8) and apples strudel ($10). The cake was soft, moist, not super sweet. I loved the crumble topping. The apple strudel was served room temperature, I would've preferred it warm, but it was still tasty with the vanilla bean ice cream. Didn't try the mixed drinks, but it's cool they had drinks made with aquafaba (the hoff and au weidersen kaffe). The bartenders Andrew and Hailey were great serving us. Definitely a restaurant to try! read more

Always wanted to try this restaurant. Arrived it was a little early for lunch , the restaurant was deserted, there may have been some patrons on the patio , I don't know. The decor of the restaurant is neat, the staff are friendly and attentive. We were seated promptly, given menus and the drink menus were already on the table . They have a nice selection of items to choose from. The Roasted Mushroom Soup served with crème fraishe called out to me. It was a coolish day , a good day for soup. And the Traditional Bratwurst, comes with haus beer mustard and kraut comes on a pretzel bun ,with haus made chips or french fries. I opted for no mustard and the chips. A Beet Salad , roasted beets , goat cheese, arugula and dijon vin was ordered. While we waited several patrons came in and went to the patio. Our food came out fairly fast . The mushroom soup came out first . It was warm, seasoned well , plenty of firm , not soggy mushrooms. On top it had slivered green onions, I believe parsley and crispy onion. The soup was perfect for the day. Then the main lunch arrived.The bratwurst was warm and flavorful, however a little over done. The chips were amazing - perfectly seasoned, and a huge pile of them. The beet salad looked wonderful, the cooked beets were hidden in the arugula. The shaved beets had crunch and the cooked beets were tender and not overcooked. The arugula with the vinaigrette, I found to be very pleasant. However my lunch companion felt it was too salty. It is a restaurant that I would come back to and try another German favorite. read more

I was pleasantly surprised during my visit to Prost. It is a Biergarten however they have an excellent culinary menu with excellent happy hour deals and daily specials. Their pretzels and beer cheese are outstanding, but don't sleep on their homemade mustard, it is spicy and packs a punch. The brat was served on a pretzel bun and topped with kraut and their homemade mustard. As a happy hour special it was $10 and for the quality it was a heck of a deal. For a spot right by the river walk in downtown Wilmington, it is a fantastic place to hang out, drink a beer and enjoy some delicious food! read more

Interesting experience- can't count the times I've been in Germany nor the total time in country - a lot. The schnitzel & spatzle was right one, but the reb cabbage was a complete fail ... like they forgot the vinegar. Worst reb cabbage I have ever been served. Pretzels are right in and so it the mustard and melted cheese that are condiments for the pretzels. My wife had the Reuben- which she said was good but the appearance of the bread was that of Rye/pumpernickel ... but it had the taste Ordinary bread. It was strange, like drinking what you think is coffee, but it's actually tea. Cool space. read more

Came here on a Sunday for brunch! We were able to find parking across the street and it is free on Sundays which is nice! Workers were nice. My friend and I decided to eat outside on the patio because it was a nice day outside. The patio is so cute with a really nice atmosphere. Lots of nice plants and decor. We split the pretzel. It was different than a most pretzels with a crispy outside and the beer cheese was very good. I then got a Kielbasa that came with cheese and peppers and onions. I really enjoyed it. I was very full afterwards. I thought it was a good price for ~13 which I thought was a good fair price! Overall a nice restaurant with good food! read more

I grew up in Wilmington when it was NOT a real destination. It's nice to see places like Prost when I visit now. It was an off time so we had some great conversation with our server. We started with the onion dip and chips (yum!). I had the Rachel and my husband had the pierogie special (and ate my spaetzle side). The food was delicious and my beer (the Mexican lager) was perfect for a sunny afternoon. Their patio alone is reason to sit and sip a while! read more
