WIENER SCHNITZEL
Stephany S.

I wasn't expecting an upscale German restaurant, but that's what I got and it was delicious. They weren't very busy and there were a lot of servers. Everyone was very attentive. The kids got the chicken schnitzel. Huge portion with two cutlets, perfectly seasoned and moist. I had the veal schnitzel which was equally as tasty and moist. The star of the meal was definitely the beef stew. They don't have a kid menu so be aware if you are with your kiddos you will need to order off the adult menu. The tables were also really small. We were fighting for space on the table.

Original Wiener schnitzel with truffle fries

Wow! Ever since having Wiener schnitzel at Oktoberfest in Munich I have been hunting down the closest recipe in Orlando for when I am crazing this dish. Not many places I have found swerve it with the lingonberry sauce. I LOVED IT! I will most definitely be back to try other menu items. The food came out so quick even though the restaurant was pretty full and it was so hot you could tell it was just freshly fried. They also had a nice schnapps selection and beer. The inside was very pretty and decorated nice. I did not feel like I was downtown Orlando. I will definitely be back!

House made kahula and cream

Tried this place before a show at the Dr Phillips and it was a nice change of pace. The set up inside was a little strange but we were told the long tables were only there for October fest and not the normal set up. The waitress was kind and the bartender was so very accommodating. My mother wanted kahula and cream but they don't have kahula, he offered up a house made coffee liquor for free and it was excellent! We had a variety of dishes but the two stand outs were the fish and chips and the pork schnitzel. The fish was perfectly flaky with a crisp coating. The schnitzel was very authentic as well. The only thing I was less than impressed by was the up charge for mushroom sauce ($11) for a small bowl of gravy. The gravy was tasty but honesty not worth the price! Cocktails were light and refreshing.

Stopped in on a Thursday evening for a bit to eat. We did not have a reservation, but were seated quickly and greeted right away. The service here is what stands out for sure. Lots of friendly faces brining food, taking orders, bringing drinks. We started with the pretzel and cheese dip. As a warning it has a lot of paprika in it (not called out on the menu) and it made it a bit spicy for both of us. The pretzel was ok, but nothing that stood out. For the entrée, we decided to share the Fleischpflazerl (veal and pork patty) with a side of potato salad. We also added a side of butterspatzle. All of the food was cooked perfectly and had some great flavor to it. For dessert we shared the warmer apfel strudel and it was perfect temperature warmed with vanilla sauce. I would have loved to have some vanilla ice cream with it as well. There are a few other items on the menu that I'd like to try so will stop back in when I have another occasion to celebrate. The restaurant is clean and well organized with lots of tables for a variety of size groups to enjoy.

Saddened to read they will be closing their downtown Orlando location as of 12/31/2024.

Orlando-Had this on my to do list for awhile. I read somewhere that it was higher end and to dress up. Not true! Basically it's kind of a "cafeteria style" seating, like most German restaurants. Our waitress, Victoria, was super helpful with ideas on the menu. Our dishes were ok, but not spectacular. We each tried different entrees so we could share and compare! First up was a pretzel which was served ice cold. Odd, and not enjoyable. I asked about it and Victoria stated that they are made earlier in the day and served cold. Next up was the steak tartare. It was interesting. Check out our entree pictures for more info. We did enjoy the Gulasch and thought this was the best of all our entrees. Everyone agreed this was a one and done for all of us. On another note...There were only 4 of us and they charged us an 18% automatic tip. Not sure what that's about. Normally that would be for parties of 8 or more. That would add to one of our reasons for not returning.

Cheesecake

We happened to be downtown and looking for something new. We remembered that the new German style restaurant was open, so of course we stopped in. First off, the place is beautiful, not really sure what we were expecting, but it's very nice. We stopped at the host stand and they asked for my name and phone number, which is fine, but then we were immediately seated, so I thought that was a little strange. Oh well, onto to rest. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We started off with drinks, my wife had the waldmeister, a gin drink, and it was good. I had the tin drum, which apparently is a German take on an old fashioned. It was different, but that's fine. It was okay, I would probably go with some German beer next time though. We started off with the pretzel and cream cheese dip, there is an option for more pretzels and different dips, but we assumed it would be too much. We were wrong, the pretzel is quite small, I guess we were expecting one of those huge pretzels you get at chain restaurants. Anyway, the pretzel was cold and not really salted, but it was pretty good with the cream cheese spread. Even though we could have had more, I'm glad we didn't, we ordered enough food for dinner. I started with the onion soup, it was very good, you could tell there was a lot of work and love went into making it. One small issue, was we started to feel a bit rushed. At first it was fine, but it didn't stop. More on that later. I was maybe halfway through the soup when the entrees came out. That's fine, I had the pork tenderloin with cream sauce. It was really good, a lot of flavor and very rich. The spatzel was recommended as the side, being traditionally served with it, so I got that. It was a bit underwhelming, it could use some salt. Pretty much just small butter noodles. Not bad, but that's about all I have to say. My wife got the bratwurst, 2 homemade brats with mashed potatoes. Also we had a side of braised red cabbage and the cucumber salad. The cabbage was very good, definitely get more of that. The cucumber salad seemed overdressed, it's probably the way it's supposed to be, but for us, a little too much, all you tasted was the yogurt dressing. It was still nice and refreshing. The bratwurst tasted great, but they were a little dry. When you took a bite, it would crumble apart in your mouth. We had to try dessert, and we had the cheesecake, it's almost a deconstructed Marscapone cheesecake, with the blueberries and ice cream on the side. It was all very good, I will definitely try their other desserts. Overall, it was a very nice time, beautiful restaurant. In between courses we kept being asked if we were done, can we get a box, let's take it away, are you ready for the check, etc. we started to feel very rushed. It wasn't even a full _lace as we arrived fairly early,. So, with all of that being said, I would give it a 3 1/2, the ambiance was fantastic, service was great, except for the being rushed part, but that wasn't really a dealbreaker. The food was pretty good for the most part, a couple of things we didn't care as much for, a couple of the of things we loved. That's a pretty good way to go, in my book. We could tell there was a lot of care and pride that went into everything, so with that being said, we are definitely going to come back, there are a few more things we would love to try. When we left we were even talking about what we would get next time. I would recommend it, we definitely will.

We were sadly the only ones in the restaurant. Erick was very kind and knowledgeable. He was a great salesperson and did a good job upselling. We had the pretzel with cheese dip. The dip was very bitter unfortunately and the pretzel was pretty small. I had the chicken schnitzel. It was worded different on the menu making it confusing. It was excellent though as was the Spatzel. It was an elevated German restaurant. Most German restaurants are more homey feeling. This was was very modern. It was very clean and had ambience. The prices were a little high as well. They had music playing and it was a wide variety from ghostbusters to lady Gaga. Not what I expected from a German themed restaurant. I wish them success but definitely need to market more and work on service in general. Aside from the server there were about five other staff that looked at their phones or awkwardly stared at us.

Having lived in Germany and vacation there every couple of years I was excited for this place to open. Much like in the U.S. different areas of the country prepare the same named meals a bit differently. (Think meatloaf/mac and cheese). Of course I started with the pretzel and dip. There was nothing wrong with it but it just did not strike me as fresh baked dough from the oven. I then went on to fleischpflanzerl which was fine but seemed like a very city specific regional version. The taste was great just not exactly what I was hoping. The spatzle was pretty good and I hope they add a kase/cheese version to their menu. Apfel strudel for desert was served warm and it also was just fine. I will say they excel in their service. They put forth a fine dining vibe and I felt like I might have been at that Steak Place on Church street. I imagine this would be a nice fancy date night, meeting the parents or work dinner location.

Onion soup
Garrett R.

We came here with a group of 5 and upon walking in we were surprised how nice it looked inside but we felt there was no German theme in the restaurant. The restaurant has a very upscale ambiance. There was live music there as well but not German music the music was great but just didn't fit the vibe of the restaurant. Our server was good but there were times we were waiting a while to order and get the check. They also were not able to split the check out 3 ways which was a little inconvenient. We all ordered drinks and they were very good. Some drinks on the menu are priced well and others are pretty overpriced. For the food there are some really great flavors on some items and feels like some corners cut on other items. Some of the portions were very small as well. For appetizers we got the pretzels (Obazda & Brezel) and the Onion soup (Zwiebel Suppe). We were all pretty disappointed that the pretzels were cold when they came to the table like they came out of the fridge and they were very subpar the cheese dip was good. That Onion soup though was the most delicious onion soup I have ever had it was amazing. I got the steak dish Zwiebelrostbraten and for $44 I was very disappointed when a thin NY Strip was placed in front of me like not even a half inch thick. For that price I would definitely expect at least an inch thick cut steak. The flavor was great though and the sauce on it was delicious just very overpriced for a small steak. The steak came with fries and they were terrible. No flavor it was like they were the frozen battered fries you get at cheap seafood restaurants on the beach. I also had the Kasespatzle which was delicious but a tiny portion.

The food is amazing. The service is amazing. We had the Jägerschnitzel with spaetzle and gurkensalat. It isn't cheap, but definitely worth it!

Pretzel with cheese
Elizabeth L.

Came to have dinner here before the orlando city soccer game and didn't have a reservation and all the tables are packed so sat at the bar to eat! I was disappointed they didn't have any grapefruit beer since it's my fav every time I go to a German restaurant and their menu is small compared to like Hollarbach in Sandord but anyways I got the pretzel with cheese, pork schnitzel, apple strudel and everything was delicious! It was busy so everything did take a while but it was fun talking to the bartenders/servers while I wait for my food to come and it was interesting to see them make the different cocktails! Also make sure to try the truffle fries so good!

Wild boar burger truffle fries

It was not busy so super quiet and relaxing. Service was good took drinks a little bit to get to us! The food was hands down one the best German restaurants l have. I cannot say there was anything I didn't like. I will definitely go back!

A spot I've been wanting to try for years, and I was so happy to find that it was worth the wait!…read moreThe day I went, there was a line outside that looked like it would take forever, but for a party of 2 it probably only took around 20 minutes to get a table. For larger parties, they will take your phone number and notify you when your table is ready so that your group can wander the shops nearby or grab a drink at The Lodge bar (part of Hollerbach's). There is a ton of seating both inside and outside, and at certain times there is live German music inside which is broadcasted outside on TV and speakers! One thing I was really impressed by was their ability to substitute sides. I substituted both of my sides for no extra charge. I highly recommend the German potato salad (warm kartoffelsalat) instead of French fries for a way more traditional schnitzel experience. The cucumber salad (gurkensalat), egg noodles with gravy (spätzle mit soße), and sauerkraut (sauerkraut) were all delightful as well! The atmosphere is lively, noisy, and fun (especially on the weekends) with people doing shotskis and passing around Das Boot!

Been a long time since I was here last, decided to have a little date night. It was a fun time in…read moredowntown Sanford. Got here early and no wait at all which was nice. Service was not the greatest without server, hard to get her attention for things. I got the paprikaschnitzel with heaven and earth potates and a salad. All great flavors and were really good. Only disappointment was the potato were a little dry and I needed some gravy for them. She got the schnitzel weiner art with potatoes and salad. Hers was really good too It's always a good time sitting inside with the music and singing. Can be a bit loud at times and hard to hear each other. But it was too hot to eat outside. Will definitely be back. Need to check out the upstairs rooftop patio area.

We were welcomed with warm smiles and walked straight to the deli. We shared the Rubinstein and bratwurst (everything on it). It's true - it does take a while for the food to be made but it's so worth it. The meat is sliced is front of you and made to order. My favorite is their cucumber side that's drenched in dill sauce. $2+ beers for happy hour, everyday! Kolsch beer all the way, baby! Shoutout to the chef making our sandwiches. I didn't get his name but he's a super nice guy with a black beard. He was apologetic for the wait - but we assured him there's no rush. We will always wait for quality food! Another shoutout to Priscilla, who was so kind when cashing out our order. We're so ready to come back... tomorrow (haha)! Thank you, Hollerbach team who worked tonight (3/29/2026). We hope you always serve us. Now I don't have to travel 10 hours to Europe for a brat. Love this place.

Absolut kostliche und authentische deutsche Desserts, täglich frisch serviert !…read more Yes I am German so I had to make this review authentic since this amazing place brings back all the good memories of my roots and childhood. If you want fresh baked bread, desserts , great bier and ingredients , you must come down to this gem located in Sanford Florida! The market has a great variety of deli meats, bakery items, pantry ingredients and of course German candies and chocolates. After you shop, grab a bratwurst and cold bier and sit outside to enjoy the surroundings or go next store the Hollerbachs restaurant and have lunch or dinner. This is the best German market & restaurant in Florida !
