Stopped in with 2 friends as we were in Florida and not far at a baseball game. This was my 2nd trip after eating here in sept 2024. Once again had a fantastic dinner and even sat at the very same table. Couldn't pass up the German pretzel and their 2 mustards office were fantastic with both a spicy and sweet taste for each. For dinner I went with the steak coated with a mustard coating and it was cooked perfect and so juicy. Love the fact they have a smaller menu and you can see that works for them. I would totally suggest giving this place a try
This is my favorite German restaurant in the area. They are a ways away from us but they are worth thte drive. The schnitzels are delicious as are all the sides. The sausage appetizer plate is also delicious. They have great beers on tap. Service was great and it is nicely decorated inside.
The food was amazingly delicious Real German food!! Our server Rodrigo was super friendly and had some good recommendations!
We lived in Germany for 3 years, the food was extremely good. Is it exactly like you would get in Germany? No. That being said, I believe it is as close as possible, even the beer (Bitburger) is as close as possible. Imported items are never the same. All that being said. I 100% recommend Sigfried's. It is worth a try. We will be back.
To start off, the food was outstanding and I could tell it was all made from scratch. The seating outside had a unique vibe from the garden accessories. The meal was a bit pricey, so I'm a bit hesitant to return again.
Lucky we turn the car around to try this German resto in a Friday and yes - glad I am a believer of yelper. Help us order the hoxe ( deep fried hock) served only on Fridays. Love the German beer , multigrain bread and flavored butter , hoxe ( for the small one ) and the ambience is amazing with German music. Service is great. Definitely will be back.
Loved this tiny little German restaurant! Super small and highly recommend reservations. We didn't heed the warning and ended up outside in the courtyard but it was nice and sunny with young folks enjoying big beers. The schnitzel was awesome and light- i had the veal and my hubs had the chicken. Initially i didn't think the portions we're going to be filling but ended up being just right especially after a giant German beer(the small boot is huge). The sides vary and they seem pretty flexible with changes. I had the potato salad and cranberries but also ordered some noodles with the German mushroom gravy and that was the right choice so delicious. Took a piece of black forest cake home and it was light and tasty. I wish they had more than one cake selection but thats no big deal really. Definitely will be back with a reservation for dining in the cute folksy little house! Go here!
Every time we are in town we always check out this restaurant! Excellent food and the owners and servers are amazing! There hasn't been one thing that I've had that was bad! If you want real German food, go here!
Great soup I looked forward to eating at Siegfried's. I had not eaten there before, I do like German food, and for this meal someone else was paying for it. We make our reservation as suggested on their website. It was very loud when we walked in. I didn't expect that but that's ok, diners enjoying their visit. Siegfried's is a house converted into a restaurant, so the layout is small dining rooms, and it was busy. Good thing we made that reservation. It is not a bright shiny place, we had a candle on our table. They may need to catch up on maintenance. Our meal started with some bread with seasoned butter while we waited for our food. Nice start. Next up for me was their Tomaten Chiliesuppe, a thick tomato soup that included bits of bacon. There are onions involved per the menu but it was the bacon that really made this soup stand out for me. It gave the soup a flavor and slightly chewy texture I really liked. For my entrée I had their Nurnberger Bratwurst mit Kartoffelpuree und Sauerkraut, two small bratwurst with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. This was not my first choice, I had anticipated having their crusted NY strip steak, but they were out. Bummer. That did affect how I thought about what I did have, which wasn't that good. I thought the boring mashed potatoes lacked anything besides potato and the sauerkraut too mild. This diner with his American palate likes sauerkraut with more tang but will concede that probably isn't how the Germans make it. As for the small bratwursts, they were fine with the included German mustard. No complaints about the service. It seemed more casual than you would usually find in a table service restaurant, another thing I didn't expect, but it worked. My visit to Siegfried's could have gone better, like not running out of that steak almost 2 hours before they close, but I would be fine going back for another try.
We had a lovely waiter we have had before - it is so obv how much he loves his job and german food. He helped with selections. 2 at the table got the knukle special, I had Chicken Schnitzel - cooked perfectly and loved my sides of german potatoes, spatial and red cabbage. We all shared an apple strudel with a scoop of ice cream and homemade whipped cream. Always make reservations, jo matter the time of year and you cant go wrong! Enjoy
Great food and great service. Lots of great things on the menu. The sauerbraten is really good. Schnitzel is very good too. Must try the cucumber salad. This place is really solid and the owner is very passionate about the place and his food.

We took the last reservation available at 8:15p on Saturday of our vacation. We were greeted by the smily and welcoming owner as we walked in. The decor did make us feel like we were somewhere in Germany. My partner ordered a beer and we looked over the menu. I decided on the chicken schnitzel and Spatzle. Unfortunately our waiter said they were out of Spatzle. He told us they were out of all sides besides potatoe salad and french fries. My partner attempted to order the pork spatzle and was told they were out of it along with a few other dishes. This was disappointing, we wished our waiter had told us this when we sat down instead of after deciding. Our food was delicious, and if I lived in town I would definitely be back. I recommend not taking the last reservation time to avoid them selling out of many things. Our waiter told us this happens on most weekends. read more

Hands down the best German restaurant in the area! I'm from Germany and I know authentic food when I see and taste it. The restaurant is located in a cute little cottage, the decorations are lovely, and the whole dining experience makes me feel like I'm back in my grandma's kitchen. Siegfrieds has ice cold German beer on tap and you even get a lemon slice with your schnitzel. That's how you know it's the real deal! Pro tip: drizzle the lemon juice over the schnitzel. The owners and servers are very attentive and welcoming and will make sure all of your needs are met. If you want to try a true delicacy, get the pork knuckle. The meat literally falls off the bone. read more

We were visiting the nearby Ringling estate when we decided to stop in for an early dinner. As a party of five without a reservation, we were sadly told they were already fully booked for the night. The space is very small inside- only accommodating 7 tables so it wasn't shocking they couldn't take us in. That's when we noticed they had "bar" seating and asked if we could sit there. After hearing a yes we were off to the races. And thank goodness for that because this was a five star meal in every sense of the word. After traveling Germany for a whole summer- this may just be the best German food I've ever heard. Feeling overwhelmed by your spectacular meal and seeking refuge? Head to their gender neutral bathroom where a sound machine is playing bird noises. Spectacular from start to finish. Five stars!! read more
This place was awesome! Make a reservation or you won't get an actual table. (PLOT TWIST) Even outside needs a reservation. Cute little place that cooks its food in a small building outside. This food was fresh, hot and delicious. After sitting at a table of shame for not making a reservation someone didn't show up so we were able to move to an actual table which was awesome. So figured crossed if you get a table when you didn't make a reservation. The chicken and pork were very tender and juicy. Spatzle was out of this world, not dried out and had TONS of flavor. The fried potatoes...I am still drooling over them. Get the PO-TAY-TOES! Drools. lol I enjoyed everything but I think it's weird they put carrots in their potato salad. Definitely needed sour cream which they didn't have. Anyways, regardless I give it a 9/10. Will definitely be back! read more
We made reservations for 4:00 when they opened for dinner. We didn't really have to make a reservation but we were given the best table in the Biergarten under the beautiful bower. By the time we left, it was fairly busy and a reservation would have been necessary. We had our dog with us and it was very dog-friendly. The Biergarten had about 6 picnic tables and two tables with real chairs. We had the chicken schnitzel with fried potatoes and cucumber salad. It was one of the best schnitzels that I have ever had and we go to Germany and Austria frequently. We also had the Currywurst with Pommes. Delicious sauce and could compete with any Currywurst in Germany. The spaetzle were also very good. What is a German meal without a piece of Apfelstrudel? Theirs was delicious. The Black Forest cake also looked really good. Our waiter was friendly and efficient and food was ready quickly. Sehr lecker! Will definitely return here. read more

We have been to Germany many times and this restaurant is spot on! The bratwurst was excellent and so was the sauerkraut and potatoes. Weiner schnitzel was a bit thin but very tasty. Great beire selection. Service was FANTASTIC !! Everyone so nice. Husband and wife from western Germany, near Koln are very friendly. A must visit! read more

I cannot rave enough about this little Downtown Sarasota gem, and their packed reservation book shows you Sarasota agrees (so make sure you grab a reservation and call ahead!). There's not a bad item on the menu, but standout dishes that I tried were: German Schnitzel (get the Jäger sauce!!), their pork hock special on Friday, the currywurst, and the Dusseldorfer. The German schnitzel is loved by all. Battered and light, make sure you get that jager sauce and don't forget the lemon. I love to order mine with the cucumber salad and pan fried potatoes. I believe they also offer chicken and veal schnitzel -- so it is customizable to your meat preferences. I dream of this schnitzel. The pork hock (HAXE!) special on Fridays is worth booking a table for alone. Get under the cute lights in the biergarden and chow down. It was a pork hock that has a crunchy, crispy exterior and a soft, juice meaty center -- served on a bed of mashed potatoes, bacon, and sauerkraut. Yep. Just say yes to it! Another special I love and have no words to communicate it's amazingness: sometimes on Thursdays they have a pork burger on a pretzel bun. I cannot even begin to tell you what is on there, I just know they must lace it with my favorite things because my mouth is watering writing this now. The currywurst is a fun one. I was new to the curry-tomato based sauce and once I tried it, I wanted to drink it from the plate. Oops. They offer up bratwurst or andouille sausage with the fries -- I picked andouille for more spice! 10/10, this is my favorite go-to now. And last but not least, the Dusseldorfer. A NY strip steak encrusted in mustard from their hometown with a side of pan fried potatoes and a appetizer salad so you can trick your stomach into thinking you're being healthy (you are! steak is PROTEIN!) All in all, the food is wonderful and the staff matches that level of excellence. They are shockingly fantastic at remembering faces and names and are super personable. One day they ran out of my favorite Apfelwein and the server came up with my new favorite concoction: their house white blend with some applejuice. The owners are a young German couple that came to Florida to make their mark in this small town. The chef/owner used to visit when he was younger, and you can feel that small business pride & love that is often missed in these days. The quality of everything is super fresh -- I learned they source the freshest ingredients daily so you get the same experience every time. Don't forget to ask about their latest desserts before you leave. Your stomach and sweet tooth will thank you! I learned they have an authentic baker prep all their bread and desserts, so they continue that small business love down to their sourcing. read more

Just phenomenal. Truly authentic German cuisine and their beer is excellent. I was looking for something that would remind me of Oktoberfest in Munich and this certainly hit the spot for food & beer. I highly recommend you are in the area! You will not be disappointed if you like German food at all. Our server, Jacob, was fantastic as well. read more

Indoor seating for those who prefer and nice clean restrooms read more

Hallo Deutschland! What a great place for great food and great beer! Three of us stopped in with our little pup, Sadie, for an early dinner. The outdoor area is comfortable and dog friendly; they even brought out a nice bowl of water for Sadie. The picnic tables have large umbrellas to shade from the sun. We lived in Germany for 4 years a LONG time ago, and have visited several times since, and we are big fans of German food. The food is 100% authentic German and delicious. I had the German Schnitzel which was not only awesome, but huge (I had to share)! Great menu of food options and a good number of beers as well. Service was good. Dinner for 3, with several beers came out to a little over $100; wonderfully worth it. We'd certainty be back in again, and we may inquire about them catering a party for us. read more
