One of my favorite spots for German food on the island - the staff is always super nice and the vibes are really relaxing a chill. They usually have a good playlist on (80s pop) and even do bingo some nights! My go-to are their wings - their Maple Sriracha is amazing! And I love their Bavarian Platter - the pork chop is MASSIVE! Overall, a great spot for good drinks, good German food, and a fun time! read more

Visit Date: October 1, 2025 Even though I don't drink alcohol I fell into a facebook group that my boyfriend belonged to when we first started dating called 8 O'Clock Shot. The people in the group are cool about me drinking coffee, OJ & Seltzer and N/A beers and I'm cool with the fact that they drink, overall they're a pretty good group of people. Last night Tom Perrone a member of 8OCS hosted his first ever vinyl night in Nassau County at Prost. Usually he hosts Vinyl nights in Patchogue at TwoMorrow's Pub. Sometimes he'll host other vinyl nights or afternoons at different locations. So my boyfriend and I were able to go. One of the good things I appreciate about Prost is that it's a bar/restaurant. So if there's something going on and I need to bring my son I'm safely able to do so. I wouldn't bring my 9 year old to just a bar but if it's a bar/restaurant there's nothing wrong with bringing him if I had to. We didn't get a chance to have any food, maybe one day on one of our future visits we will. I had an OJ & Seltzer and a Clausthaler N/A beer. My go to N/A beer for drinking at home has been Athletic Brewery N/A beer but I had a Clausthaler once before at the American Hotel Bar in Sayville and Clausthaler is a good flavorful N/A beer. My boyfriend chose to have a liter of Miller Lite I think. Hanging at Prost was a good time, one of the bars in Garden City that I would suggest checking out! read more

I was a little disappointed I came for the jaegerschnitzle but it was all gone ! This was only 5 on a Sunday ! And the place was empty ! Anyway the potatoe pancakes were disappointing -way too thick Our server was sweet but didn't have a clue Probably won't waste any more money here ( except for. Weissbier at the bar maybe) read more

Came to watch soccer with my sister In law who is a regular. I'm from California but have been here before. Neil was absolutely amazing, made my drink perfect, was attentive to everyone at the bar and even my girls who sat behind us and brought them a game to play. My potato pancakes (with syrup) were great! We ordered other items and no complaints at all. See ya next time we come back read more

Great assortment of German wursts, beers on tap, and other German fare (weinerschnitzl, sauerbraten, and pat la Frieda burgers) in a friendly and lively environment. They have 3 large tables in the front and another in the back, and there are always games playing or live music in the air. It's close to the train so we love going with the kid to drink some Hefeweizen and watch the trains go by. They have trivia nights on Tuesdays and are surprisingly family friendly overall. read more

The ambiance here is casual, is a typical bar, German energetic and red all over the walls. The players on TV were wearing red, and our Kerchup on the table match it all too. (Check my video, not lying to you). We got the Bavarian pretzel, gigantic hot and great. Our waitress is being kind and professional, we are still here while writing this review for one good reason, the music, the music here is right on target rock old hits. Food ? Wonderful.. we got chicken schnitzel, I can't pronounce the one my husband got, worst write that down, but it was veal, and great too. Pssst! Liz our waitress told us a secret, come here on the night on the 22nd of December, and find out what it is happening here that night. read more

Food used to be okay, but in the last few years, nothing tastes like authentic German food: odd flavored red cabbage, bland sauerkraut, most everything else is fried and tastes lIke old grease. servers are okay. Tuesday trivia is good, but the mc screams into the mic held right up to his lips so it's hard to understand and gives you a headache(loud music stays on during g trivia!). claims to offer 4% off for cash. but never delivers. Also gets extra for credit card and won't split the table's bill. Check the bill carefully! read more

Walked in at 6:00, and the tables were pretty empty and the bar 3/4 filled. We were a party of 7. Ordered from the bar and then saw an open table. Sat down and no one said we couldn't. They continued to take our order for food and drinks for two hours at our table. Between closing out multiple (4) bar tabs ( because they would not merge all of our bills to one) we had about a $450-500 spend. Once we settled the bill they wanted us out for trivia night. We left feeling unwelcome. Spoke to the manager and instead of saying "hey that table is booked for trivia he started to scold us for sitting at a table. "Without talking to anyone" We said " you had no problem serving and billing us" and he could have said earlier pls sit but we will need that table at 8. Overall a rude unprofessional response, food was below average, and decor is a lovey 1972. With so many other options in the area I would not recommending this place, and the owners need to teach their manager how to interact with clients. read more

One star because the people that work there are really nice. Otherwise Prost was a total disappointment. The decor is worn and very spare. The food is overpriced for what it is-$17 for a pretzel?? Really? Worst of all the food came at cold and was not good-my burger was well done like a hockey puck. The kitchen rushed everything out as well-our appetizer wasn't even finished and the main meal came out. It might be OK for a quick German beer (which was also pricey) but otherwise there are many other choices in Garden City for casual food like Uptown Grill or Tap Room. read more

Ran out of pumpkin beer, but had Oktoberfest. Beer was delicious and so was the food. Not crowded, ate outside and will look forward to going back. Sampler of brats was very good. Suarbraten empanada was ok, not great. The meat needs to be more tender. All in all, a nice German spot. read more

Went tonight for the first time in May years . Service was outstanding and food was not good. One party member returned their food and asked for something else.My entire party said we would not Return. Also their menu had some strange items on it that you would normally not see at a German restaurant such as lobster rolls and fisherman's platter . Saurbraten is a German staple yet it was terrible.Overall i would rate it a 4/10 and that's only because of the service. read more

Beer is great but the food has much to be desired. Sauerbraten was shoe leather and sides tasted as if they were canned cabbage. Probably a great place for a beer and a cocktail but they need to turn their German food card in because it wasn't even close to acceptable. Waitress was very pleasant but other than that I won't be back. read more

The food was awful beyond words. yes we were a large table and yes it was a holiday but ... drink ordered from bar missing components asked for, main courses not even close to coming out at the same time we had to ask about some of them as they had not been served - there were maybe only two other tables - not crowded - no excuse - I've never had potato pancakes that bad they looked like meatballs and were dry - after ordering we were told they were out of sauerbraten (it's a German restaurant!) schnitzel was like cardboard, spaetzle was stuck together and rubbery - could not have been more disappointed - will never return and do not recommend read more

If you're going to charge top dollar, you should have better food. $15 for a pretzel that was hard as a rock. The $30 saurbraten had canned red cabbage (its really not hard to make this fresh), some kind of dough ball made from a mix, and 4 slices of pot roast in spiced gravey. The meat was also hard as a rock. It needed to marinate a good deal longer. They only get 2 stars because the wait staff was good. The decor is just bizarre, and the food, substandard. read more

Prost - This is what I left. Just awful! - German Near Me - Garden City, New York

Came here for my sister in law's birthday. Sadly though as I am German I'm definitely more Italian and love that type of food way more lol. My mom on the other hand was so jealous we came here and would have had a field day here. Anyway the food wasn't bad, my hubs who loves everything had the time of his life. My son who I guess feels the same way I do was like eh. Not that the place was bad, it's just not our type of food lol. Nice place though and it's great if you want actual German food. I had the burger and it was good. My son took a few bites of his pretzel so hey at least he ate that much. read more

We went to Prost yesterday for lunch. I was not as pleased with it as I was expecting to be. I grew up in a German household so was used to the sauerkraut and the different sausages and especially apple strudel. The only thing that was good that we ordered was the pretzel. The sandwich had melted cheese on it which I wasn't expecting and lettuce and tomato. It was pretty bland and would definitely benefited from sone salt which was not on the table. The wurst plate was dry i was told. The potato pancakes were much thicker than I prefer and extremely hard fried. I forgot to take a pic of the strudel but was far from a traditional strudel. I am not in a hurry to go back. The best thing about coming here was the server was nice and the beer was good. I was surprised when we walked in because it had two large Irish flags hanging from the ceiling and four leaf clover garland all over. Granted St. Patricks Day is coming. read more

The food was poor at best. Nothing tasted like real German food - oh perhaps the over priced pretzel.

I really liked this place. I know when they first opened the food wasn't great, but now the food is really top notch. Great German food and the burger is an exact replica of the shake shack burger, but bigger. Bartenders and waitresses are all very nice and helpful. Jamal recommends. read more

I visited yesterday at about 6pm and had been looking forward to this place for a while. However, my server was probably the rudest I have ever had. When asking about the beer options she rushed me through and when my girlfriend asked about the cocktail options she said "it's a regular bar, we just make regular drinks." With no help from her I looked up a cocktail on my own which was a simple German drink. When she returned for the order she said, "well we don't do that here, you should go to a cocktail lounge instead." I can keep going on with her eye rolling and how she downplayed the restaurant she works for but I'll leave it at that. If you're the owner looking up the incident, my table was taken over by Chyna who was literally the worlds sweetest person who made stellar recommendations and while she did save the experience and stop me from escalating the situation further, I feel that the other server (who didn't introduce herself) should find more pride in her job and familiarize herself with options. read more

We went here for a late dinner on a Saturday night. It was a bit louder than expected but the waitress was so nice and recommended us to get their maple sriracha wings instead of BBQ and it was a great choice. It wasn't spicy at all and had so much flavor. They were crispy and meaty, exactly what you want out of a bar wing. We also did fried cheese curds which were a special, big portion size and an awesome cheese pull! We finished by splitting a wurst platter. It had all the fixings you'd want to make a little bratwurst on a roll and the wursts were crisped up well on a grill. Overall would go back for a nice German dinner and almost forgot, had some great beer options to wash it all down with. I think the crowd during the week is probably a lot quieter as there was live music but either way would recommend and go back. read more

They carry my favorite grapefruit beer although it comes in a bottle not on tap so i can taste the difference We ordered a pretzel which came warm and with two dipping sauces I also splurged and ordered the apple strudel and it was delicious. We sat at the bar and our bartender who i forgot his name was very attentive and took care of us! Place can be tricky to find when its dark if someone is standing infront of the sign in the back. read more

Prost - German Near Me - Garden City, New York

Large menu for a German restaurant- just not recommended for vegetarians!!!! Started with a hot pretzel and beer. Great beer choices - delicious soft hot pretzel Don't remember which 2 wursts I got but one had cheese and one was a standard one. Came on a pretzel bun which was totally so much better than a regular hot dog bun. Sides were sauerkraut and red cabbage. The best part of the meal was the 2 potato pancakes and apple sauce that came with it. They were well done and crunchy. I'd go back just for those. Overall very satisfying Ok back here for a second time and raised from 4 to 5 stars. By far the best German place I've been in. The streusel with ice cream is out of this world. Served hot. The bratwurst serves on a pretzel bun is amazing. Even the decaf coffee was incredible. A class act all the way. read more

The was an excessive and unacceptable wait for my food in the Springtime shortly after restaurant opened for the day. There were only one or two other customers in the place at the time. The staff was chatting for long periods instead of waiting tables and running food orders in a timely manner. It was very disorganized. My order may have even been forgotten in the kitchen. When the food (sauerbraten) came out, it was nothing special and rather bland. read more

My wife's chicken schnitzel was dry & not flavorful; same for my weinerschnitzel. The beer was OK. Service was passable, although the manager acted like she just wanted to go home. Ambience was ok for a sportsbar. (Not my first German restaurant.) Don't know why the food got good reviews. read more

The food was delicious. Never before have I been told by a server that our 15% tip was not a large enough tip. That is a first!

Had an amazing experience for a double birthday celebration. Service was a little slow, but that's because they were super busy but didn't seem to have a full staff. Towards the end, when more customers cleared out it became much faster. The food was amazing. We had the Oktoberfest menu. The pig wings were huge, so you can definitely split one between two people. The pretzel is huge and comes with a nice beer cheese. The sauerbraten was really good, but I substituted a potato pancake for the dumpling. We also had the schweinehaxe, which was good but the skin wasn't quite as good as other places we've been to. We didn't end up eating the skin. The Bavarian plate was massive and couldn't really be finished. The burger was also huge and amazing. The only plate that was small was the sauerbraten, but it was a perfect portion. The service was great for us. She was attentive and always brought us what we needed. She even asked the bartender for things we requested. They don't have Underburg in case you're wondering. They only currently have one dessert: chocolate lava cake. It's delicious, but I'm not a huge chocolate cake person. Overall, it was a great night. read more

Prost is a little bar in Garden City that has parking in the back, which is shared with many other restaurants and establishments in the area. Sat down for dinner with a group of friends for dinner and there weren't a lot of people, so we were seated right away. Service was pretty good too. Their beer options were all at a pretty fair price, but I feel like the food was more expensive than expected. I got a 2-wurst platter, which comes with 2 sausages of your choice, fries or potato pancakes, and a few sauces and sides. I chose the chorizo and knack and I thought they were delicious; they were juicy and full of flavor. The potato pancakes were pretty good too; crispy on the outside and the inside wasn't just potatoes, there's something mixed into it. Someone else got the burger and he wasn't as impressed. The patty was definitely thick, but in terms of flavor, there wasn't anything too special. Although the meals were filling, each dish was over $20, which I think is a bit hefty. Overall, Prost is a classic gastropub. I've never had a lot of German food before, but I would imagine that Prost is doing a pretty good job at representing their cuisine. read more

The restaurant was nicely decorated for the holidays as well. read more

Disappointed. I went for dinner and beers. I was surprised to run into a teenage band playing next to the bar. I could barely hear my buddy and we ended up leaving earlier than we planned on. We were outside the bar area. It's such a tight space I'm surprised that they had a teen band in the first place. Food was ok. German beers were excellent. read more

RECOMMENDED On Wednesday, February 6th I hosted a dinner for 11 at Prost in Garden City. The restaurant is a few blocks south of the intersection of Franklin and Stewart Avenue. There should be ample parking in the municipal lot adjacent to the rear entrance. Prost has a comfortable and inviting "pubby" decor, the perfect setting to enjoy its humongous portions of cozy German comfort food. Our group assembled and the restaurant seated our group promptly at our reserved time. This was immediately after I enjoyed a terrific draft Stone IPA, one of the many craft and German beers available. We were fortunate to have Gabi and Jack as servers. Both were pleasant and conscientious. Gabi graciously consented to our request for separate checks. In addition to our fine servers, the kitchen also hummed, turning out apps, entrees and desserts at a quick pace. This was not an easy task, given the size of our group. Onto the food.........Although my entree would have come with Potato Pancakes, I still chose Potato Pancakes for my app. Although they arrived in a generous portion of five, allowing me to share with my table mates, they were overcooked and a little too big and thick for my taste. Better starter choices would have been the German Meatballs or a cup of Goulash Stew, both of which drew praise from my companions. I choose the Three Sausage Platter ($26), consisting of Bratwurst, Bockwurst and Bauernwurst. I, and my fellow diners, thought the wurst sausages here were outstanding. They arrived hot in temperature. They were also beautifully spiced. I liked their wursts better than those at Plattduetsche Park in Franklin Square. I emphasize again that the portions here, as evinced by my photos, are very generous.My companions praised the Wienerschnitzel and Jagerschnitzel in particular. Unlike my usual practice, I opted for dessert. Gabi advised me that they did not have my preference, namely, Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies. She instead brought me a complimentary piece of Lava Cake. It was heavenly. Its insides were airy and oozing with melted chocolate. An absolute "must order again". Gabi and Jack, true to Gabi's promise, settled our checks effortlessly and without error, leaving me to bask in the praise of my group members for selecting a great dining destination. BOTTOM LINE: If one is talking about the best German restaurants on Long Island, Prost absolutely belongs in that conversation. read more

This definitely qualifies as a gastropub. Modern look with rustic touches, limited menu but big step up from typical pub food -- and no pork shanks on the menu. Yikes! What's a German restaurant without pork shanks, says my husband. A: a German gastropub. Between us, we ordered German meatballs app, cup of short rib goulash, and the two-wurst platter featuring Knack and Bock (wursts). Meatballs - very mild, nice texture; reminded me of what I've always called Swedish meatballs. The "creamy cheese sauce" however was very thin and forgettable. From the platter, the potato pancakes were absolutely TO-DIE-FOR as was the cinnamony dark applesauce accompaniment. The two wursts were superb. Definitely some of the best wurst. (Couldn't resist.) Sauerkraurt and red cabbage were just blah. The cabbage was very dry and had no seasoning at all to it. And sad to say, the pretzel roll had somewhat of the texture/taste of a minor freezer burn victim. The goulash was generous, plenty of meat, as tender as promised, but so spicy. As in, Sriracha spicy. Asian spicy. Dang! WAY too much heat for me and not what I was expecting at all. Note: I had previously viewed the online menu, which makes no reference to the unexpected heat; so to be fair, I didn't read the complete description of this dish in the actual menu I was handed. Has it changed? I noticed one thing did change: the website's menu image says "Authentic German Classics" and I'm pretty sure the ones we got said "Authentic Prost Classics." I mean, there's nothing authentically German about shrimp scampi when it comes right down to it. And what's with all this Sriracha anyway? Service was friendly, and AOK. I have no doubt that if I had complained about the pretzel roll they would have cheerfully replaced it. So as another reviewer pointed out, I think we're really looking at a German-inspired beer house -- loads of great options in that department, by the way -- and sticking to wursts and burgers (or maybe Maple Sriracha Wings) is probably the best way to go at Prost. If you're looking for a true German restaurant experience, I think you must seek elsewhere. read more

Truth be told, this wasn't my first choice for lunch with my girlfriend this past Sunday. I had another German location on the radar, but due to an event they were having, we landed in this "part" of Deutschland instead. I had previously visited Prost on one other occasion a few years ago and remember a decent meal so I was open to giving it another round. The result was basically worth it. A Sunday afternoon at Prost was quiet, with only one large party and a couple of football fans at the bar. Because of that, we were given a choice to sit basically anywhere we liked. The place isn't too large, but summons a decent amount of German theming to give it the feel you'd expect from a place such as this. Large images of German landmarks line one wall while the other is made up of the bar. It's covered with fútbol scarves and a few German knickknacks. There's also a beautiful, modern fireplace at one end of it. On to the meal! With quite the selection of German brews available, I started with a Hofbrau Dunkel, a creamy and mildly bitter choice. From there, we shared the giant Bavarian pretzel to start, which isn't an exaggeration on size. This pretzel was massive and came with beer cheese and mustard for dipping (and a couple of pickle slices). Hot, fresh, and tasty even if a little heavy on the salt. Service moved a little slow, though that helped in keeping us from ordering too much (eyes bigger than stomach kinda deal). With most of the pretzel consumed, we then shared a two sausage platter. Bauernwurst and cheddar brat were our choices, with the rest of the platter consisting of potato pancakes, kraut, red cabbage, and a pretzel roll. I was also hankering for some German potato salad so we got a side of that too. The bauernwurst was advertised as spicy on the menu, but there was little to no kick to be found. The cheddar brat held true to its cheesy innards. Both were decent in meaty taste. The pancakes were delicious especially when accompanied with the cinnamon-laced apple sauce as part of the platter. Kraut and cabbage did the job with their own distinct flavors and the pretzel roll was the last man standing on the platter (too much pretzel earlier). The potato salad had nice chunks of starchy goodness with large pieces of bacon and onion scattered about all in a great dressing. Overall, Prost proved to be a quality German food spot with some pretty tasty choices. Even though I still want to go to that other aforementioned German restaurant sometime soon, I can say, with confidence, that Prost is a nice choice too. A third round is in order at some point for more German grub (and a little bier). read more

Know what I love? Bier! Especially a large choice of bier on tap! Besides that, I love finding a place on Yelp that under performs in its ratings then checking it out on my own and afterwards we are all walking away with a smile on our faces after a stellar experience! Prost is that place! Came in early on a Saturday night to celebrate my momma's birthday because she loves German food, especially Sauerbraten. Unbelievable after all our years in the area this is the first time we are checking out Prost despite it being a stones throw from our house. We notice that menu has been scaled down some and reworked a bit from the one presented online. It is more streamlined, and perhaps more focused on the items that work best. We notice that the bier menu offers a flight of four 5oz pours. My step dad and I, decide on doing a flight, but instead of the 5oz pours we order 3 different pints over the course of meal! haha My stepdad allowing me to order for the both of us, we get the Barrier Icculus Kölsch because I decide to go local, but with a nod to the German style Kolsch - it is a great choice! Next up we try the newly added Victor Summer Love ale mainly because I was won over by the name, but I also love it as well. It is imported from my parents now home state of Pennsylvania. We round out the evening with a Prost lager, which was refreshing light and crisp after our big meal! Someone say SCWIENEFLUGEL! (No seriously, how do you pronounce that?) These award winning pig wings live up to the hype with tender fall off the bone pork served like buffalo wings with carrots, celery and a blue cheese dipping sauce - amazing! With a side of housemade spaetzle and cheese that was delicious in its own right went with the wings perfectly. We also order the large Bavarian pretzel served with obatzer and mustard for dipping - it was served perfectly warmed perhaps too much salt, which is easily removed though. Although the "apps" would have been enough to fill us we order sausages - Knockwurst for me, cheddar brats for my step dad and wife and my mom gets the Sauerbraten. The sausages are served on a perfect pretzel bun with a generous amount of shoe string fries - we went with the sauerkraut and red cabbage over the peppers and onions. Damn tasty! When it comes to Sauerbraten, my mom has specific expectations and the gravy did not hit the mark for her although she though it was delicious when she combined her bites with the red cabbage. For dessert we order the flourless black forest chocolate cake, which comes out with a candle and a glass of honey liquor. We were all puzzled about how they knew it was my mom's birthday and later found out one of the owners, Jim saw my mom's Facebook check in and took it upon himself to add the birthday touch and complimentary drink! Classy and made us all feel great as we tried to figure out which one of us said something! Although not an entirely perfect experience I upped the star power here to 5 to make up for other reviews that seem overly harsh. This place is reasonable priced, with perfectly poured beers, delicious well made food and excellent friendly service - what more could you ask for? read more

Wow, what a really nice place this is. I only wish it were located closer to my home. Came here for an Oktoberfest dinner and was pleasantly surprised. A little bit of old German school charm mixed with a modern flare. A very classy place indeed. I've added a few pics to try and illustrate what I'm talking about. They serve all the solid German beers on tap and in bottles. All of the German classic fare can be found here of course too and well executed. We had nothing negative to say about the quality of the food what so ever. Delicious! Staff was friendly and courteous - couldn't have been more pleased with the service. There can never be too many German restaurants IMO, so I 'm glad that Prost is here! Seriously can't wait to return here to get my sauerbraten on! Highly recommend checking out! read more
