Great Food! We went there Saturday night for dinner. Everything was delicious. If you like German food, you should go to Sebastian's. The service was amazing and we enjoyed the ambiance. There's a collection of mugs, hats, etc. So many fresh baked deserts, it will be hard to decide which one to get. And, if it's your birthday Jamel will sing to you. read more

Charming ambiance that is loaded with German knickknacks and tchotchkes. Truly divine German food tasted exactly like what I remembered from my years living overseas. Authentic in every way. I loved being able to eat and relax without being overly bothered. Just worked through the delicious bratwursts and a crossword puzzle at my own pace. Nice touch being able to bring your own beer and wine, though I wish I'd known beforehand. Was really hoping the authenticity extended to the beer selection, but that's really up to you! read more

Fabulous food cooked German style- large portions! BYOB and bring cash (no credit cards).

For dinner on a Thursday, had the perogies which were good, stuffed cabbage - in what I guess is a cream sauce, which was also good. Also had the potato pancakes which were on the crispy side, which I like, and flavorful on the inside. Had the potato soup, which looked on the watery side and not what I'm used to, but tasted very good. I did not care for their sauerkraut because they flavor it up, I think too much, with mustard & whatever else, to the point where it doesn't taste like sauerkraut anymore. For dessert I had the Black Forrest cake and the Bienenstich (SP?) cake. Both tasted dry in the edges as if they were not fresh. The Black Forrest cake still was pretty good. The service was prompt and attentive. Atmosphere was German style but a bit overloaded. Overall, I think Sebastian's is good, not great. I'll be back and like with most restaurants, I'll have a better idea of what to order. Note: I'm comparing these dishes with food served at the Deutscher Club in Clark, NJ and the Bierhaus in NYC which is where I usually go for German. read more

The best Bavarian/German restaurant I have been to in NJ. The decor is a must-see and the food is outstanding. Make a reservation and bring cash. BYOB read more

Made reservations and stopped by for dinner on a Thursday evening, 6pm. It was our first time there. The place was getting busy. As soon as we walked in, we were immediately greeted by the Manager Zachary, who was pleasant, and attentive. He led us to our table, which was ready for us with a pitcher of fresh lemon water and bread basket with rolls and marble rye. After we were seated, we were quickly acknowledged by our waiter. The menu is chock full of authentic, hearty dishes, the kind my Bavarian mom used to make. We decided on the Sauerbraten and Jagerschnitzel, accompanied by potato soup, the pickled salad, also ordered Liver Knodel soup. For sides we chose red cabbage, potato salad and spatzel. I enjoyed the tasty potato veggie soup, hubby enjoyed the pickled house salad. Hubby also enjoyed the Liver Knodel soup. Our Sauerbraten and Jager Schnitzel came with the sides, which looked appetizing and plentiful. I make Sauerbraten myself, and Christines was delicious. The spatzel were pan fried and tasty. The red cabbage was very aromatic, with a delicious hint of cloves. My meal reminded me of Christmas at my parent's house! Hubby enjoyed the perfectly cooked, delicious Jagerschnitzel, the German potato salad, and red cabbage. We had a great experience with delicious food and a friendly, attentive staff. What more could you ask for? Well.... The restaurant itself is an eclectic treasure trove of Bavarian trinkets, family & customer photos under the glass on the tables, twinkling lights, German mugs on the ceiling, Hummels and dolls everywhere! I could only imagine how they would decorate for Christmas. I guess we'll just have to come back and see!! read more

I'll make this short and sweet. I read reviews of people complaining the decor inside the restaurant was old and weird. That is the whole point of why it's decorated the way it is. It's the way it's supposed to be. Do some research on German history. The owners are husband and wife. The husband is an amazing,hilarious host and his wife is the chef. She is from Germany and cooks like she is. We had a party of 4 and tried various menu items. I had a bowl of the GULASCHSUPPE soup and couldn't get over the flavors. It was killer! If it came in a Home Depot bucket size I would of eaten it all or attempted it at least. They brought us cucumber salad and I was blown away. It was fresh and had a small tinge of vinegar dressing. They also brought us a basket of bread. I didn't have any knowing I'd be eating a lot. For my main meal I had the trio Schnitzel. I don't know the name of it but it was chicken,pork and veal breaded all which was fried. So tender and juicy,it was like butter. I had a side of green beans. Definitely a home cooked meal came to mind as I was devouring it. I was able to try the potato pancakes and the perogies. Both were delicious but the perogies would of been better if they were pan fried. Just sayin! They were boiled and didn't have a ton of flavor. The potato pancakes were good but nothing special. Desert was apple pie and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream and holy shhhh....slammin!!! Finally the staff was really awesome. Again the owner greeted us and it felt like he was an old buddy you haven't seen in 20 years. He was hilarious. I guess my review ended up longer than you thought but it would of been more detailed if I spent the time on this. Also it's BYOB. And bring cash. DO NOT PASS THIS PLACE UP!!!! read more

Great folks here. Very friendly and the food was great! Family atmosphere. Make sure you call for a reservation as they get very busy. Cash only as well. BYOB which is nice. read more

This a really great restaurant. The decor screams 1980s or 1990s German decor. Knick knacks, dolls, steins, but the great part is the family pictures everywhere. The owner, I think, was extremely interactive and funny. He made jokes with everyone and genuinely wanted to give out samples of their food. The food was amazing. I went with a group so I forgot to get some pics. The profiles both fried and boiled were amazing. They were topped with grilled onions and served with sour cream. I don't like sour cream that much and they didn't need it. I ordered the Wiener schnitzel with fries and sauerkraut. It came with a salad. The salad was fresh and the house made dressing was amazing. The fries were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauerkraut was really good. The schnitzel was like I remembered from Germany. It was great. I will come here everything I am close to McGuire AFB or Hamilton, New Jersey. read more

Absolutely over-delivered on every expectation from the five star service from Zack to the incredibly flavorful five+ star dishes! This place has been on my Yelp bucket list for awhile now and Wow was it worth the wait. Zack helped us navigate the menu with some great suggestions. My wife and I started with potato soups, which were amazing. Zack brought us a sample of the Hungarian beef soup, which was also off the charts. For meals, I had the Jager schnitzel and my wife had Rohm schnitzel. We loved both with their deep complex flavors. We finished with the Bienenstich (cream filled cake w honey and almonds). All food portions are HUGE (enough for two). All just fantastic! Family owned and operated since 1995. Highly recommend. Can't wait to return. COVID: wiping down tables and menus between guests with social distancing in place. Felt very safe read more

Absolutely love this place!! It's like going to your grandmothers house for dinner and so much love and kindness.

First of all, make sure you have a reservation. This place is busy and there is a good reason why. The food is excellent. The servers are on top of their game. And management/owner is there and greet everyone at their table. The decorations are a bit much, but it definitely adds to the experience. This restaurant accepts cash only. But let me tell you, it is totally worth it. You will have leftovers to bring home. The food is absolutely delicious. There were three of us, and there was not one thing that we did not like. We even ordered dessert. Will definitely go back!!! This place is a real gem and I can't wait to munch on my leftovers. read more

This place is really a tourist attraction with good food. There are so many things to see here, beside Jeannie. A reservation would be wise the place fills up fast, because there are not many tables, though there are outside tables, too. You have to see the art in this place very compelling service was excellent and food was excellent. The prices are somewhat inflated for the non-foods. Why? Because they can probably get it. If you like German fare, please go to this off the beaten pass, and visit Krystyna Whitmann's restaurant, the owner/operator. She does it right. read more

A really awesome culinary experience. I had the Polish platter with cabbage rolls, perogies sauerkraut and spätzle. Not fancy but while I was there an Oma celebrated her 102nd birthday. Anyone who didn't sing to her was threatened with having to pay double. Super family friendly place highly recommended!! PS get the Hungarian goulash read more

I recently went here with my husband and a friend. While the ambiance is definitely "different" and unique, it fits this location !! You are truly transported to another world. The menu is various German meals. Lots of traditional food including a picked salad which was sooo good !!! I ordered a chicken sandwich and I couldn't happier. Fresh and juicy. My husband and friend were also happy with their meal. I would return. The service was friendly also. read more

If you like german food, the Sebastians is the place to go. Its a family owned restaurant, and the family is originally from Germany. They make the BEST potato soup you will ever eat. They also make amazing pierogis and schnitzel. The restaurant itself is very cute. The tables are covered in old family photos. There are decorations all around the place; including old dolls, german candies for sell, and different kinds of beer steins. The service is amazing. They also offer a buffet style lunch on the weekends. read more

First of all, the atmosphere is absolutely wonderful. Remind you small family restaurant in either Munich or Frankfurt Germany. Service there is absolutely wonderful waiter and waitresses are very knowledgeable and will bend over backwards to assist you with the menu. Next the food delicious Yeager schnitzel the Spoetzl and my favorite the pork knuckle or Schweinshaxe was absolutely delicious, which is only served on Friday nights, and you should order it ahead of time. read more

A wonderful family restaurant worth the drive. Unique decor and welcoming staff. You'll feel at home. All the schnitzels are superb with my preference being the Jaeger Schnitzel. The appetizers are a cozy delight and the salad is hearty and full of good vegetables. I've never been able to leave room for dessert. read more

The brunch was amazing. Best spaetzle ever and tons of choices. My favorites were the Salisbury steak and chicken roulade, but everything was delicious. Coffee, tea, orange juice, and dessert are all included and it was $20. Make sure to bring cash for tip, they ask that you tip in cash. This wasn't our first visit, just our first brunch. We saw that once a month they have a schnitzel fest buffet, we will 100% be back many times. By the way, I feel like the person who said the ambiance is outdated missed the point. It's supposed to look that way and I think most people recognize and like it. read more

Finally got to go to Sebastian's. Possibly one of my happiest dining experiences in a long long time. The place has the best vibe. the decorations are so much fun to look at,they are everywhere. Our waiter was the nicest person we have had the luck to meet. He took time to explain the menu, options,etc. He brought out samples of the potato soup and goulash and cucumber salad for us to try before we ordered. He was the best. We ended up going with sauerbraten with spaetzle and red cabbage. Totally awesome and home made. Whipped butter on the table for the bread basket. Water with lemons and mint in it. The owner came over to make sure everything was perfect. This is old fashioned awesome on every level. Cant wait to go back and hopefully buy a painting i saw out front. read more

Went back for my husband's birthday. They took the cake we brought from my hands, added our candles, and brought out for us to celebrate! Knew how to make his day special Friends and kids had a wonderful time, too! Whole family and staff have a warmth and kindness here! read more

Being the first time eating German food it was delicious. I came when they were having Sunday brunch and the place was full. Besides this one table that represented the whole atmosphere in a single corner. You felt the love, joy and peace as you looked at the pictures of their family as you ate. The servers were amazing and kind. It was a wonderful way to end my trip. If I come again I am stopping by. read more

An absolute must for authentic German food and the decor looks from 1980s. Its also an experience to drive from the busy metro to south jersey. I don't know much about German food but overall the food and service was good and the cost was decent. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Sebastian's Schnitzelhaus - German Near Me - Wrightstown, New Jersey

Unique place for great food! Best schnitzels around! And it's BYOB! Make a reservation.

Not sure how I managed to miss reviewing Sebastian's. I LOVE it here! Enjoyed the food they served when they catered Octoberfest at the Trenton German-American Club over a decade ago and have been going back since. Was always a huge fan of the Sunday brunch, and hope that it returns once things start to return to normal. If you're dining in, just be prepared, the interior is...odd. Not bad, just weird. The walls are absolutely lined with old knick-knacks and chotskies. Imagine eating dinner in the middle of a yard sale put on by your grandmother and all of her friends. That's the decor. If you ask me, it adds to the experience, but I'll grant you that it's not for everyone. If you decide to do take out, these guys are pros. THE BEST take out packaging I've come across through the pandemic. Each item is packaged, labeled, saran-wrapped, then packed in a box. When you arrive, whoever rings you up confirms your order by repeating it back to you, physically showing you the item one at a time, then puts it back in the box. You are going to get what you ordered, and unless you enter a demolition derby on your drive home, it will arrive safely packaged. Even the soups. The food itself? No advice here, because none is needed. Everything I've ever had there is good, and thanks to my family's love of just ordering a bunch of dishes and sharing everything, I've sampled just about everything on the menu at this point. Something sound good to you? Order it, it will be. Not sure what to get? Either as for a suggestion from staff (they'll be more than happy to give you one, they clearly take pride in their product!), or just close your eyes and point at something. Either way, you won't be disappointed. Finally, be warned: **CASH ONLY** read more

Delicious, fun, and an experience you don't want to miss! Cash only and they ask that you make a reservation in advance. We went on a Tuesday and had no problem, no wait. BYOB. After looking over the menu, I decided on the chicken schnitzel. It comes with your choice of soup. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the (KARTOFFELSUPPE) potato soup or the GULASCHSUPPE (Hungarian beef stew). I'll be back for just those alone. Tasted fresh and full of flavor. Most of us got the potato soup but the owner came over and recommended the stew as well. We had already ordered but he wanted us to try anyways so he brought over a bowl. It was sooo good. They give you a mix of bread for the table to start with a whipped type of flavored butter. I couldn't tell exactly what the flavor was but it was tasty. The chicken schnitzel was nice and crispy. After the food was served and the owner came over with a gravy boat of some type of sauce. Made the food taste even more delicious. I asked for some to go when I couldn't finish all of my food. For dessert, I couldn't decide between two cakes and the owner was super helpful and I ended up with the chocolate moose cheesecake. Fresh, creamy, chocolatey. The owner himself is an experience. He makes sure you get the best food, recommends things to enhance your meal, and brings over whatever you need. He's really attentive and makes it such an enjoyable time. He kept my table laughing for hours and we really appreciated him checking on us. The servers are also attentive and consistently made sure we had everything we needed. Honestly probably never would have stepped foot in this place if friends of mine from out of town didn't recommend it. They were recommended by others who lived in the area and I'm ecstatic they did. I wish I could give more stars but I'll settle on the 5. read more

DO NOT EAT AT THIS RESTAURANT. They ONLY accept cash, no credit cards, and their food is WAY OVERLY PRICED. Their meals are around $20-30 apiece, so if you can only pay by CASH, you better have $60-80 on hand to pay for your meals. The restaurant is also very cluttered, especially in the bathrooms. It's like eating at a hoarder's house. Don't eat at this restaurant. Save your money and go to a good restaurant that has cheaper prices. read more

I'm the least picky person as far as food you can get, but this place is just nasty!! The "goulashsuppe" is definitely canned, (looks like the food I feed my dog), we've lived in Europe and trust me when I say nothing is authentic here, plus outrageously overpriced. The German potato salad tasted at least a week old, and was mashed with a piece or two of green onion on top, that was it, and tasted like mustard. Also, the food was cold, I found what looked like a pubic hair in my potatoes, and the bread was something you buy at any grocery store prepackaged. We were also served highly chlorinated tap water. Not authentic, just plain gross. Cook did not have a hairnet on over his beard, or hair. What a waste, will not be going back! read more

Sebastian's Schnitzelhaus - "GULASCHSUPPE" - German Near Me - Wrightstown, New Jersey

This is a crazy place but great food and BYOB. I wouldn't want to dust all the displays that's all I can say.

Came in for lunch with friends and I feel like I stepped into a portal to Germany. From the decorations, decor and tables with family photos below glass... the statues and hummels - wow! The service staff was very welcoming and fished out heaps of hospitality. We asked for the dinner menu, which had more substantial plates for sharing. We got goulash, the schnitzel sampler, sauerbraten, the assorted wurst plate, red cabbage, sauerkraut, spaetzle, Black Forest cake, apple streudel with vanilla ice cream. It was all fantastic. There is nothing like this around outside of NYC or Philly. Just go. read more

Pricey, but gooooooood! Big servings, lots of meat. Everything you'd want in a sandwich. I pick this over potbelly's or JJ's anytime!

This restaurant has a good offering of ethnic cuisine. The problems with the restaurant are A) it looks messy and cluttered inside. It's like a hoarder's dream, even in the bathroom area. B) They only accept cash only, no credit cards. C) Their prices are a bit expensive. Dishes are like $30+ per plate, so if you ARE going to go to this restaurant that accepts CASH ONLY, bring a LOT of cash! I haven't been to this restaurant post-covid and I'm unlikely to go back there again. read more

Went here with a large group of co-workers and we had a great time. The owners were very impressionable and entertaining. The food was authentic with large serving sizes, no one complained about there dish. If I am ever in the area again I will be sure to return. read more

Sebastian's Schnitzelhaus - Great atmosphere great food! - German Near Me - Wrightstown, New Jersey

Authentic and fun. Great food and excellent staff. Even the other diners were open to conversation! We will be back!

Went based on pictures and reviews. Was NOT disappointed! Rahmschnitzel was awesome and the rahm sauce was wonderful. The German salad was great with a light vinegar and lettuce, beets, carrots. The sauerkraut was warm and paired nicely with the main course. Staff was polite and served with efficiency. Didn't realize that it was cash-only, but just be prepared to use greenbacks to cover your meal. BYOB if you want to pair your wonderful meal with an aperitif of your choosing. I asked if they had curry catsup and they prepared a serving to go with my fries this was a wonderful way to enjoy them. Thank you so much for the wonderful meal! Just remember that your "plastic is no good there!" :-) read more

Pro: an absolute must for an authentic Bavarian dining experience! Having traveled to Germany on several occasions, I can vouch that Sebastian's is as hearty and fulfilling as anything you may eat on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean! The perogies, potato soup, pork schnitzel, sauerbraten, and knockwurst salad are all hits! Add to that an attentive staff, an owner with a quirky sense of humor, and decor that feels like a cozy Bavarian cottage, and you're in for a treat! Con: BYOB. Reservations required. If it's a calendar holiday/occasion, expect a crowded place. Bottom Line: You may not be of German descent, but your tummy and heart will scream "danke schoen" with every bite! read more

We're repeat customers. Always enjoy the food, and it continues to be the highlight of the visit. Service, however, has followed so many other places and has severely declined. We were served by a very young lady with braces who was simply awful. Yes she was pleasant, but she forgot everything and had to continually be reminded on what she needed to do. Not to mention, that it was pretty basic server "stuff." She disappeared between courses. And, while not her fault, the restaurant was experiencing shortages of items, and she neglected to mention them when ordering. We know it's tough to hire right now, but for heaven's sake, where is the ownership to teach and enforce basics? I think I'd wait a good while again before revisiting. Hopefully good workers will return. read more

From the service to the food, it was just terrible. I've had better German food in Florida. We had potato pancakes for an appetizer. We have to ask for applesauce and sour cream( it didn't come with it. They were old and greasy. Forgot our salad and brought our main dishes first. We all had the schnitzel. It was terrible. Again tasted old and greasy. No gravy , we had to ask for that. Red cabbage tasted like it had been reheated and from a can. The spatzel was tasteless and also dry. Another waiter came over and gave us our salads and my son's soup in a bag and said we could take them home since they forgot to give them to us. He also gave us a piece of cake that was dry as an" I'm sorry about the salads". This place came highly recommended and did not meet any of the standards of a good German restaurant. The ambiance was good but you can't eat that ! read more
