Came in the other day with my wife for a quick bite to eat. We had the Ferris wheel. It had fried pickle chips, frites, pretzel bites, fried cheese curds and pretzel wrapped mini hotdogs. It was happy hour so we both got $6 draft beers. There was a nice variety of German beer options. It was a cool little place. Friendly staff. Next time I'll have to try some of the meats. read more

Schnitzels - The Ferris Wheel - Beer Bar Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

I've had schnitzels in Germany once, so obviously (/s) that makes me an expert on the cuisine. Schnitzels in Stony Brook is cozy and friendly, but the food left something to be desired. I did make reservations for a party of 4 at 5pm and thankfully I did, because this place does get packed even on a weeknight. We had an extra person join us and thankfully, thankfully, they were able to accommodate our request. We ordered a few Paper Airplanes over Paris, which were delightful. Each one did come (with the same) poem folded on a toothpick. The salted pretzels to share were also nice, pillowy with the perfect amount of salt. For our entrees, it was a mix of Sauerbraten flatbreads, Sauerbraten, and my entree, the Holsteiner (chicken) Schnitzel. Everyone liked their entrees, but I found mind pretty mid. The schnitzel itself, darker than I was used to, but still had a crunch and was tasty. The red cabbage had far too much vinegar for my palate. And the spaetzle it came with, was pretty bland. Almost like eating plain pasta. The seasonal vegetables hidden under the schnitzel were also good. I do think , overall, if you've never been to Germany and are wanting to try authentic German food without travelling to Manhattan or beyond, give Schnitzels a chance! But if you're a self titled expert on schniztel because of one trip to Germany (/s like I), I would find somewhere else. read more

Visited twice this last week (coincidental!) and both visits were incredible. This is a top-tier spot in Stony Brook village and some of the best food around! I highly recommend trying it if you like German food, beer, or just want to try something new! Great servers, super kind, and the interior is adorable with a German pub vibe. read more

My parents love it here, and it's fun for a family night out. There are fun events, music, and the food is presented in the most creative ways (peep the carousel). Fun for a casual evening beer or to celebrate a loved one. read more

Schnitzels - Beer Bar Near Me - Stony Brook, New York

I like saying the word "Schnitzels." It might just be the name of a German dish, but pluralizing it gives off a fun/inviting vibe which I guess you could say was the case when my wife and I visited this quaint restaurant a few weeks ago. Located in the Stony Brook Village is where you'll find Schnitzels which hides itself towards the end of a strip of stores. A bit unsuspecting from the outside for what feels like a cozy pub once you've entered through its doors. The place is small so a busier time than the somewhat early dinner we were having might have resulted in a wait, but luckily we snagged a table right away. What did take a little time was some aspects of service. I'm definitely not here to badmouth any server or person working as everyone seemed friendly, but things moved a little slow (from first being greeted, to getting our drinks, and for when the food came). Perhaps one more employee working at the bar or a bus boy might've remedied this, but also perhaps I'm nitpicking (the mind of a Yelper never rests, sorry). What's really important though is the food, and Schnitzels' menu of German grub is relatively vast. In an attempt to not over order, my wife and I shared a giant pretzel for an app to begin with (though the fried pickles sounded like a winner and were almost a secondary starter). This knitted monster came with some mustard and cheese sauce with each bite being light, doughy, and delicious. For the main course my wife went with a chicken schnitzel sandwich and I went with what they called "The Standard" which was a choice of wurst (brat for me) and came with potato salad on the side. Trying both I thought they were equally tasty with (honestly) my wife's being a little more flavorful. Don't get me wrong, mine definitely hit the spot, but almost seemed like an oversized hot dog then a bratwurst. Oh and that potato salad was legit. This was also washed down with a nice pint of Dunkel. If you're up for it, you can get "the boot" which, at a different time, I might've considered "wearing" in my hand, but that's for a tentative return trip. Overall, Schnitzels was a reasonably solid German spot worthy of checking out. I'll throw em four stars with some two thumbs up on certain aspects and a few sideways thumbs on some others that could probably be fixed or depends on what you're ordering. I mentioned a return trip and I think that could definitely happen with location being a factor too. Worth a shot and a visit, especially if you like saying the word Schnitzels! read more

Dined here again recently and the food is good and consistent. Had the Rueben which was very good. And their potato pancakes are always good too even when they're a wee bit over fried. The service is good and the staff friendly. Will definitely be back read more

The staff is extremely accommodating. The food....is horrible . Bland at best. I've lived in Germany, the food at this place is bland and tasteless. Sad read more

We had a large party of 7 this evening. We started with the Wurst platter, which included 4 types of wurst, pretzel bites, red cabbage and sauerkraut along with mustard and cheese sauce. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. They have several Schnitzels with your choice of chicken, veal or pork. We've tried several and they were all good. Four of our dishes came out piping hot, 3 lukewarm warm. My mom got the sauerbraten which was good, she found the sauce a little too sweet. She's German and does make her own, so that is her preference. The salmon looked great and got a big thumbs up. Beer was very good, as well as the service. The rustic berry tart was great, the Black Forest cake wasn't great, my grandmother used to make it with dark rich chocolate cake and whole cherries. I couldn't even tell it was chocolate cake and the cherries tasted like jelly. The Saturday Sundae is absolutely amazing! We had been there on a Monday twice before and played Trivia night, and had a ball. We were hoping to play music bingo with mom, but they said we couldn't stay. The latest you can make a reservation on Monday is 5 pm and there's a 2 hour limit on the table. Bingo starts at 7:30 and the place was packed, with people waiting. So heads up with that. They alternate trivia and bingo, Monday's. We love this place, the owners are great fun, but slightly disappointed this time. read more

Schnitzels Stony Brook, NY @eatschnitzels Schnitzels is a German-American gastropub known for its awesome variety's of schnitzel, German beer, and pub fare. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and serving up amazing meals at each. Choose from 5 different gravies and then your schnitzel. Traditionally served with pork or veal, but they do have chicken or eggplant as well! I went with the classic Weinershnitzel which is traditionally served with veal schnitzel and served with brown gravy. Lindsey got the Chicken Rahmschnitzel which is schnitzel topped with a creamy white reisling-infused mushroom gravy. Both were filled with flavor and we were very impressed! All schnitzel is served with spätzle, seasonal vegetables, and red cabbage. This was the definition of a comfort meal that. We started with their Bavarian Cheese Board, and classic German appetizers - potatoes pancakes paired with this insane apple butter, and potato dumplings with your choice of gravy. We loved the vibe in there. Great pub style feel but also nice indoor and outdoor eating. Our server Eden was amazing and such a great help! We truly loved this place and we can wait to go back! Go get your German food fix! For full video review and much more, follow us on Instagram @drinklongislandny read more

Cute restaurant located in a small strip mall area. We started with the potato pancakes that was a nice size enough for 2 . Served with a nice apple butter to dip. My fellow dinner had the loaded potato soup served with a nice bread stick to dip into the soup . He said it was delicious and hearty. We each had a signature dish schnitzel and felt the schnitzel was a tad dry .They had been there before and said it was great but maybe today it was just something off . Red cabbage was tasty , fresh vegetables really good and the Spätzle was plain as it usually is in general . Great specials and menu options, just think the food could have been slightly better, but would give it another try. read more

What a disappointment. Food was incredibly BLAND! The only good thing in our meal was the cheese curds we had for appetizer. Service was so odd, she asked if we needed a jox while We were still eating out food. My drink was empty by the time I was done with apps, she never refilled my glass again. The fish a S chips was gross! Like smell bad kinda gross. If you wants appetizers and drinks, give it a try. If not try another place. read more

Base my reviews off what you pay: *This place does not take reservations, we asked and there was a 1hr 15min wait. We sat at the bar. Price - $60-$80 per person (2 drinks, app, entree, tip) Food - 3/5 - good beer, lacking food. Service - 4/5 - friendly and observant. Ambiance - 3/5 - no complaints but crammed. Overall - 3/5 - probably my mistake thinking this place would be more so authentic German food. Food is definitely more so along the lines of bar food and was pretty lackluster. Beer made up for it. Staff were pretty great, friendly, engaging, fast, highlight of the place by far. Inside was fine and classic pub feel just a bit crammed but nothing bad. Good place is digging a bar vibe, not so much a German restaurant. Best Dish - Rahmschnitzel read more

While shopping in the Stony Brook Village Center we came across a charming German restaurant called Schnitzels and enjoyed a little taste of German cuisine. Although small, the restaurant has a bar with seating along with seating for table service. In addition there's a small area devoted to live music on specific days. We started with the Wurst Platter featuring 4 wursts: knockwurst, bratwurst, krainerwurst and cheddar bratwurst served with pretzel bites, red cabbage and sauerkraut. The platter is a wursts lover dream. Dinner was the traditional German pork jagerschnitzel and wienerschnitzel platters both served with spatzle, red cabbage and seasonal vegetables. Both cooked to perfection with generous portions. Topped off dinner with the apple strudel and was pleasantly surprised to see the strudel was prepared with raisins which I've never received at other "authentic" German restaurants. Schnitzels has a nice selection of both wines and German beers and offers different events throughout the week including happy hours and lunch specials. We met one of the owners Storm, who happened to be our server, who was both welcoming and customer service oriented. It was a welcomed sight observing the owners serving tables and engaging with the customers. Schnitzels is a small community oriented authentic German restaurant offering great food and outstanding service. We will definitely be back and if you're in the mood for German food Che k out Schnitzels, you won't be disappointed. read more

I've come here for lunch, dinner, and trivia. The service is excellent. I've had their wurst platter a few times. The Ferris wheel is fun. It comes with pretzel bites, mini pretzel dogs, fried pickles, fried cheese curds, fries, and schmand sauce. Anything with the schmand sauce is to die for. I love the fried cheese curds with schmand sauce from here. There are lots of beer on tap and the last time we went, they had a beer special that came with a pint glass you could take home. There are also plenty of desserts to choose from here. Parking is shared with nearby shops, such as Madison's Niche and Ann Taylor. It is a nice little area to shop in before dinner. Trivia night is excellent here. It is $5 to play and teams of 4. The person who runs it does a great job and everyone has to put their phones into paper bags. read more

I can't recommend Schnitzels enough! Awesome ambiance, phenomenal service, huge portions and delicious food. The schnitz sandwich is a 10/10.

Cozy Taste of Germany at Schnitzels! Tucked away in quite a charming Stony Brook, Schnitzels is a small restaurant serving good Getman food. While it may not be the most high-end or traditional German restaurant around, it serves fresh ingredients, has an inviting atmosphere, and genuinely great service. The space itself is small but thoughtfully decorated, rustic, cozy, and a nice homestyle vibe. The menu sticks to the classics - hearty schnitzels, sausages, potato sides, fried pickles, red cabbage, spatzle, and much more! The food appears to be cooked fresh, dishes are tasty, well-prepared, and satisfying. Beer is great! Zicke Zacke Hoi Hoi Hoi!! Prost! The staff are attentive, friendly, and eager to make your experience enjoyable. One slight negative note is that they are a little disorganized when it comes to wait times. I've been here at times being quoted a 20 min wait which turned into a 45min wait. And on the other side of things was quoted a 15 minute wait, which turned into a five minute wait lol. Overall, If you're looking for a relaxed, no-fuss place to enjoy some good German comfort food, Schnitzels is absolutely worth a visit. This place is part of the rotation for us and friends. read more

Great experience. The only downside is they don't take reservations. We got here and waited about 20 minutes for the table to open up. There was space at the bar so we took a full advantage to get a drink and some appetizers. The sausage wurst platter was great! It comes with four different sausages, mustard, two types or cabbages and pretzel bites. The fried pickles is a memorable mention. And the beer is to die for. The mains did not disappoint as well. We got beef goulash (totally delicious) and he blacked chicken platter. I can honestly say both have been a delicious addition to our routine. Thanks do the hospitable staff and yummy food, we leave very happy customers. read more

Schnitzels in Stony Brook is a great place to have dinner. Last night I had the steak sandwich; it was delicious. Their Fish and Chips are perfectly cooked, and the pastrami sandwich is incredible. In fact, everything I tried over the past few months has been great. One of my favorite apps is the Giant Pretzel that you can share. It comes out on a wheel with all different toppings. Since the portions are generous, I always bring home a piece of German Chocolate Cake and Black Forest Cake to have the next day. The service was perfect. Our waitress was attentive and quickly brought our drinks and food. We were there for trivia last night. My group always has a great time. And much to our surprise, we actually won! Schnitzels is the perfect place to have a good meal with friends. I highly recommend it! read more

Our friends took me and my husband to this place and it's just what we needed for lunch. If you're craving schnitzel done right, this spot delivers. The food was absolutely delicious--crispy, perfectly seasoned schnitzel that hit the spot. We had 1 chicken and 1 pork. Plates were pretty big and well served! The ambiance was super cute and cozy, with just the right mix of charm and character. Bonus points for the beer served in a boot--such a fun touch that made the whole experience even more memorable. Whether you're a schnitzel fan or just looking for a fun place with great vibes, this place is worth the visit! read more

Overall, the experience was very nice. Right off the bat, the hostess and waitress were extremely friendly and welcoming. It is a smaller space decorated nicely with German themed items (which I know is a bit obvious), but it wasn't overbearing. They have a nice selection of beers (although I am not a beer drinker, my dining companions were). Food, overall, the selection was nice. We ordered the sweet flatbread (blue cheese, caramelized onions, bacon, and chopped green apple), the Reuben, the fancy chicken wrap, and a farm salad with added salmon. The flatbread - tasty and the flavors worked really well together, just wish the bread was toasted a little more. The wrap & the Reuben - no complaints. Only think to note, is the sandwiches come with potato salad and a pickle, which the upcharge is $3 to get a small portion of fries instead... The salad - like others have said, the salmon was a bit dry. It looked nice on the outside, but the person eating it said it was probably cooked about a minute too long. Would definitely come back! read more

I really wanted to like this place, been here one other time and it didn't wow me but this most recent experience was just BAD Where to start: we had to wait over 2 hours for a table. I understand it's a small place but telling us 30 minutes then 2+ hours goes by definitely kills the mood. There's a waitress with hair past her waist that doesn't tie it up. That's absolutely disgusting and a major heath violation. Made me not want to touch another thing, and she wasn't even my server They sell merch: since it was freezing I asked the guy if I could buy a hoodie. He said they don't have them... already weird. Then when we got seated 2 hours late we asked a server for a hoodie or long sleeve. She said yeah we have multiple different slogans/sizes pick one. I picked, never brought me one They have a "Ferris wheel" of fried food. Cool to look at but it literally just drips grease all over the table. You could make a candle with how much grease dripped and dried. Put a napkin in the baskets so it doesn't get everywhere.. idk that's a very simple suggestion from someone who's worked in restaurants And.... On top of all of this. I actually had the worst French onion soup ever. I don't think I've ever had a French onion disappoint to this level. That's it, rant over. Tell that girl to put her hair up read more

Spectacular.....give me 14 of them right now. The food was everything you would want. It was a good temperature, the flavor was great and the portions were perfect. They have a number of sampler type options which give you a bunch of different things in one order. If you're looking for German food in Suffolk, this place should be on your list! They have a Beer Punch which was amazing. It was beer, mango puree, rum and some other things and I could have drank a whole boot of it. They actually have the glass boots that you can order your beer in. The seating area is not very big but the bar has ample seating. The service was good. We were seated almost immediately and everything came timely. This place will be on the list for more regular visits! read more

The food and atmosphere is absolutely incredible! The owners are very personable, friendly, kind and humble. They work hard & you will see the owners serving on floor, behind the bar serving drinks, or in the kitchen helping. This establishment felt like home to me and I felt so welcomed. The food is absolutely incredible! Brought me back to my German roots, to the days when I would sit with my nana and Oma eating brat together with pumpernickel bread as a child. I had ordered to loaded potato soup which blew me away! The cheese pull was insane and the chunks of bacon, brat & potatoes all complimented with flavor. This is honestly one of the best German restaurants I have ever gone to! You will not be disappointed with the ambiance, the food, & friendly fun service! Trust me when I say, the food is authentic. I also ordered the brat plate appetizer with a side of buttered pumpernickel bread. As well as the potato pancakes. Every item is so fresh, so good. I was blown away and it brought happy tears to my eyes to have a taste of home. Come on down and check this place out for some Oktoberfest specials and stein! Cheers! read more
