    This place is awesome. We placed an large group of individual orders and this place did not miss a beat. All of the orders were correct and made on time. I was very impressed because we had about 10 single orders. I will admit, parking here is a nightmare. There is very limited street parking available. I ended up making a spot out front, running in and getting my food and going. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. There is a large dining area and a semi enclosed patio area out front of the restaurant. Be aware that the patio's enclosure partially obstructs the front of the restaurant and makes it hard to see from the street. I made my order online and it was very simple. I order a small pretzel, a schnitzel sandwich with fries and a side of potato salad. Everyone in my group really enjoyed their food. One even said that it was some of the best that they ever had. My food was excellant. The pretzel was perfect. The schnitzel sandwich was huge. It dwarfed the bun. It was very tasty. The fries and potato salad were also good. I really enjoyed my meal and would highly recommend every part of my meal. This place was great. There were no complaints from any of them. I highly recommend this place for those looking to get some German fare. You will not be disappointed.

    Delicious food, awesome beer, great service, lively crowd, nice setting, everything you need. They have outdoor and indoor seating. A good beer menu. Typical German fare. It was everything it out to be.

    Great service with indoor and outdoor seating options. A group of us went for happy hour. We were going to stay outside but after a few minutes, the mosquitoes were buzzing around. We went inside and it was much better! They open at 4. We arrived shortly after and it was already filling up. Love the convenience of splitting checks with a large group - can see the entire tab via the QR code on the table and pay that way. Plenty of beer selections. I'm not a beer person so I tried the "Alsace Spritz" cocktail - I liked it! A few in the group got the beer flights and seemed pleased with it! The pretzel bites were a hit! If you love German beer, add this place to your list!

    small pretzel, really was one person size! Great beer cheese

    I'm not generally into German food but I really enjoyed the pretzel. Their beer cheese is awesome. I also got asparagus and brussel sprouts, an appetizer. My friend loved the chicken schnitzel and it was HUGE! My other friend who got spaezel said she wished it had more of a cheese flavor but that it was still good with the short rib. Drink-wise it's definitely more of a beer place but they had hot wine and cider too for fall! We sat inside but the outdoor seating looked great. Inside its long tables and benches, casual atmosphere. Splitting the bill and paying online was a breeze with the pay app!

    Great local bar in the middle of DC serving up delicious food and even better beer. We happened into Prost on two occasions in two days., for happy hour and brunch. Happy hour was perfect, pint deals, lively atmosphere s must. For brunch we came in on Sunday, sat outside and received exceptional service. The blood orange mimosa was delicious. I also had the Benedict, perfectly poached eggs with a potato cake, my opinion it could have been crispier best part the lemon mustard vinaigrette...literally could have drank it with a straw.

    Nice spot, we sat outside on the patio. The food was yummy. The food service was quick. We were able to pay using a QR code on the table, which was very convenient. Got the deviled eggs, which were super light and delicious. I got the small pretzel as well which was good too. They offer non-alcoholic beer options. I got the Weihenstephaner.

    We stopped for a little German food and maybe a good beer. I tried the bratwurst and the October fest. The beer was Great. Not so much for the bratwurst. Unfortunately the bratwurst was kinda on the bland side unless you used the mustard. The mustard made it OK... the fries were good. Service was good, nice to be able to enjoy the outdoor dinning all an all I had a good time. As I said Great Beer...

    Renee S.

    the restaurant is decorated well and I love their outdoor seat section! Service is fast and they have a good selection of beer. I personally really enjoyed the pretzel with beer cheese! The food is definitely on the pricier side though.

    Bavarian Hash
    Kris M.

    Stopped in here for brunch on a Sunday and it was easy to get a spot, as it was busy but no wait. We split the large pretzel, the Deutsche baby with schnitzel, the schnitzel sandwich, and the hash. The service was super quick and friendly. There are multiple tvs, and it's a cool bar vibe. If we were in the area again we would be back for the massive beer flight!

    Short Rib Spaetzle
    Dickson L.

    Beer is so damn good here. I was confounded the whole day until I read on wiki that Germany (Bavaria) literally has a beer purity law from 1500's, Reinheitsgebot, that only allows three ingredients in German beer - water, malts, and hops. Go figure! The Pilsner quality is unmatched to any American Pils and you can definitely tell the difference. Food is good too, considering it's mostly bar food, but still has Bavarian foundation. We got a burger on a pretzel bun, delicious, and the short rib spaetzle which was lovely and paired brilliant with the beer. The pretzel is a must get, it comes out piping hot, deliciously crispy, and paired with mustard dipping and cheese dipping. Again, DELICIOUS WITH THE BEER! I tried two different pilsners and a kolsch and they were all wonderful. German and their beers, doesn't get better than that. TLDR; totally recommended this bar. Great beer

    Brat,kraut, on pretzel bun
    Nancy E.

    We stopped here for early dinner. We got a bratwurst with sauerkraut on a pretzel bun. They added some fries too. I was surprised the brat was kind of bland I thought being a German Restaurant would be different. The service was great and the atmosphere was Oktoberfest like. We sat outside and was fun watching the people walk by with their dogs. My husband also got a huge beer. He enjoyed that

    Goulash and Leberkäse Sliders
    Griffin B.

    I do love a good German spot, and especially appreciated having this place so near to my hotel. Wound up visiting several times during my trip. It is already in a part of town with tons of other eateries and bars, so convenient enough to walk over should you be in the area, as there is little to no parking right at hand. You can sit either inside, or in some of their lovely outdoor booths. And the ambiance here, especially in the evenings, is very lively and fun, definitely a fantastic spot to enjoy a couple pints and some hearty food. The beer selection is excellent, with maybe a dozen or so different imports. Can't choose which beer you want? Well they do a mondo big flight to help you decide. Kinda sorry I didn't spring for it, actually. They also have a full bar, with wine and cocktails, but I definitely had to get some of their house-made hot spiced wine, as it has that autumn-y vibe. The food here is quite good indeed. The schnitzel sandwich with the side of spaetzle really hit the spot. And on a following visit, I sprung for the Leberkäse (pork and veal) Sliders, along with a bowl of their tasty Goulash. Everything was delicious, and the prices were pretty darn decent for both the food and drinks. And the service here was outstanding, especially from Shannon, who was really cranking out those orders behind the bar. Top marks all around for the staff. So yeah, all in all I enjoyed Prost a great deal. Definitely would recommend it for anyone looking for a more casual sort of hangout in this part of DC.

    Really cool German beer place. Started with the Prost platter which is great if u want to try a variety of German food. The beer pours are large. Even the smaller size is still a good amount. Loved the Schnitzel sandwich and also tried the Wurst. Lots of seats both indoor and outdoor. I think this would be a great day drinking spot in the summer!

I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it
