The best pilsners on draft! Super friendly staff who are always kind and helpful when we bring our baby to eat. We love going here to watch Sunday football games, and we normally stay for a game or two to watch the 49ers and New York Giants. We love ordering the chicken fingers, bratwursts, and they make a fantastic burger. I love the large portions and fun German half liter mugs that they serve beer in. It's such a great neighborhood spot, and I always feel like I'm back in Munich when we pop in to catch a game, and a bite to eat!!! read more

We love this spot, a family run restaurant with great beer and bites. The perfect spot to catch a game, their beer selection is always delicious, and I've enjoyed their specials too. Can't go wrong with some sausages, the stroganoff, or the onion rings! read more

What a fantastic selection of draft Austrian and German beers. Wine choices are solid, and non alcoholic options available. I love the sausages, and European fair. read more

This is an amazing pub with Austrian background. The food was good. I had fish and chips and it was very crunchy fried but not as much flavor as it could be. But in terms of the goulash it was very good. And the brockwurst was great with the mustard provided. Service was outstanding. And it is a classic pub experience and ambience. We will be back! read more

Great German pub on Clement. Delicious on tap beer and good German pub food, especially the fries. And the staff is SUPER attentive. The best part is this place is very chill so you can carry on a conversation or watch your favorite sporting event on one of their many TV screens. read more

Reasonably priced food. Solid burger. Great wait staff. Nice atmosphere. Very chill. Would come back for sure!

German sausages. Drooling. This is the best place to get German sausages. I have no idea which is the best but it is the one you order! I had the Bockwurst. Came with skinny fries. Added a salad to appease the guilt and balance out the fries. I would like to try the schnitzel one of these days. The place is super reasonable. The place was quiet since there were no actual competitive sports. Giants was losing! May I make a suggestion to the owner, add to the menu, 5 sausages for $35 and add a big plate of fries to be split among 2 to 3 people. This way, we can try all the sausages at once. read more

Best San Francisco Sports Bar with a German accent. Amazing banners from European sports teams line the ways with top of the line flat screens so you can watch multiple games at once. You can get one of the best cheeseburgers around and their french fries or substitute it with a huge salad my advise, try the specials and add Avocado to the salad or burger. They also have one of the best sausages and german dishes. Now let's talk fresh beer, they serve so much it tastes like it just was shipped in from Germany. The pricing is very reasonable and you can sit at the bar or grab a table., The service is top notch and they serve later than most places around the Richmond area of San Francisco. read more

OMG this place is a madhouse. It's severely understaffed. There is only ONE waitress who's running the place. She's doing her best, but I feel sorry for her. read more

Steins - Bockwurst / Knockwurst - German Near Me - San Francisco, California

Steins is fun! The menu (primarily German fare) is short but consists of a robust variety of sausages as well as schnitzel. Thus far, I've tried all of the sausages, finding them each to be good in their own way (the bratwurst is probably my favorite). On my most recent trip, and despite not liking and not asking for it on my plate, I tried the sauerkraut and found that it paired unusually well with the knockwurst. The fries were hot, thin, and crispy, and there were plenty of them. The food is fine, but the main event of Steins is the drink, and Stein's offers a variety of both German and local (draught and bottled) beers. I got the Andechser Dopplebock Dunkel, which had a lovely malty caramelly flavor and went perfectly with the knock and kraut. The ambiance of the place also ranges from being on the festive side of upscale (normal dining hours) to sports bar (gametime), both of which are pleasant. read more

Outdoor and indoor seating available! They offer food and a nice selection of German beers and wine. I ordered the LaMarca Prosecco ($10) and it was excellent! The others ordered beer, forgot which ones, but they said it was good. Parking: a bit difficult! Metered street parking or if you're lucky, parking in the residential area, but not likely. Overall, a nice addition to clement st! Must try for all the beer lovers out there! :) read more

Steins. It's a German restaurant and sports bar with beer and German bistro like burgers and bratwurst. They have wienerschnitzel and other items that you would have to explore. I wanted to have a simple sample, so I got the bratwurst sandwich on roll with vegetable toppings like onions. It came with a load of fries and I needed more ketchup. On a street like Clement with so many Asian restaurants, maybe a Hawaiian, and a gastropub, is a more authentic German food place. Seating outdoors during covid. Beer is probably a must. review 1500 in san francisco read more

This place is great for their German food and beer selections. The Weinershnitzel dinner is the best. Comes with fries and salad. The service is personable and curtious and sometimes speedy. We have tried their various specials of the day and they have been very good economically and taste wise. It is a sports bar but you can't hold that against them, so it can be a bit noisy/loud. Otherwise this is a be back again and again. read more

Visit as of 8/6/20019: I am finding it hard to believe I have not reviewed Steins either. Steins is awesome. It's all on friendly staff, delicious food and excellent service. Some of the food items I tried: - onion rings - smoked bratwursts - mashed potatoes It's all very delicious and it's German food that is worth the try and enjoying here in San Francisco. I will definitely coming back to try something else from the menu. There are flat screen televisions and it is broadcasting sports most of the time.

Steins - one good place to be especially when looking to catch up with some long time friends and classmates.

This family will bend over backwards to make you feel welcome, there isn't another place like this is the city IMO. Great ale!!!

Ok! I was so excited to see my old friends here and especially Alex. He has so much compassion towards all his patrons it is unbelievable. He always treats us as family and not a customer. I came in here for the fit time in a year and a half. Yes on Sunday it might not really be for kids because we all adults get loud some more than others. I've been here on weekdays where they had a birthday party for kids. So bring the family most anyway except during live sports. GOTTA LOVE THIS PLACE. read more

Really long wait time (over an hour) for food that should have taken 10 mins to make. The food only tasted ok, I got the schnitzel and it was not unique; almost no one but our party was inside. Only thing saving this review from 1 star was the games available while waiting. read more

Absolutely great spot! Great vibe! Our server was so friendly and made several great recommendations for beers. Beers were outstanding! Food was amazing and filling! Did not leave hungry. I'm definitely coming back! Thank you Steins for a great dining and drinking experience! read more

What can I say? I love this place. We frequent Steins with my fam. The atmosphere is fun. People don't get so wild I can't bring my teens. The menu is exactly what you want at a pub, small but executed fantastically, you can't go wrong. The staff is super friendly, and check in as little or as much as we like. It's our place to go watch the Warriors. read more

Shame on me for not doing a review two years ago when I went for the first time to this amazing place. I found this place through going through research online on where is a good place to eat. This was one of them. Love the inside. Love the service. The wait is not long but it's worth it. The drinks are good and so is the food. The quality and temperature. I went two times two years ago and twice a few weeks ago. So happy that they are open and still have good food, good service and good drinks. I would for sure come back again. read more

AMAZING SERVICE! Thanks Alex!!! We have never had a bartender care so much and we were sitting at a table. Good food and good beer. Also, good music. Lots of TVs. read more

I want to start out by saying that the service here was excellent. I didn't get the name of the bartender working but she was super awesome. Really knowledgeable about the beer and also food menu, able to give good recommendations, and just very friendly. Stein's is kind of a German bar and restaurant that serves only wine and beer. I wish they had other liquor options as it would probably make me more likely to come back but they do have a pretty good beer list and the prices are really fantastic. In reference to the German beer hall concept, they serve half liters and liters instead of pints. The food menu has some standard American fare (mozzarella sticks, fries, steak, etc) as well as some German options- sausages, schnitzel, chicken and pork. Prices are again pretty much what I would expect and very reasonable. I decided to get the cheeseburger cooked medium. It came with fries and the waitress brought me some ketchup and mayo for it as well. The burger was pretty Charred outside but very medium inside. It perhaps lacked a little bit of seasoning but once I added the mayo and ketchup, it was a really good burger. Nothing super fancy but just a tasty burger that was perfectly medium on the inside and had the right amount of cheddar on it. It's surprisingly hard to find just a classic, nicely cooked burger in San Francisco so it was nice to get that here. Normally I am not a fan of burgers that are super charred but it worked well here. The fries served with the burger were just ok- not my favorite but okay to munch on with the beer. Overall, this is a very chill spot to grab some good food and have some wine and beer. They also have several TVs and a good variety of table seating and bar seating. I will probably be back but again, I do wish they served alcohol other than just wine and beer. Definitely a solid 4 stars though. read more

Steins - Cheeseburger and fries - German Near Me - San Francisco, California

3 stars for food and I added one for the service. I ordered the goulash and my boyfriend ordered the steak and beer deal. The waitress was super nice. She helped my boyfriend choose a good beer since he was unfamiliar with German beers. Our food arrived pretty fast and the atmosphere during a game is pretty nice. Not too many rowdy people which is great. The waitress did have to bartend as well as serve food, which is a lot to do for one person per 20 people. The food was pretty good. This was my first time having German food and the spatzle was not my favorite. I thought it would be more like Italian pasta, but the consistency reminded me of cheese curds. The beef was nice and tender though. I might come back during a game again next time. read more

Over the years, I've reviewed some random places, whether it be hole in wall joints or obscure neighborhood spots (which are probably the types of places we all frequent the most), but this might be one of the more random ones. Not so much because of Steins itself, but because it's a casual, German-American restaurant/bar...located among Clement's wealth of Asian businesses. "One of these things is not like the other..." Okay, maybe it's really not THAT random to find a place like Steins on Clement, but it was definitely an unexpected discovery when my friend and I walked in to catch the end of the Warriors game. We went from grabbing a beer and getting dinner elsewhere to sticking around to check out their menu, which features a variety of bar bites and German staples. Of the roughly half dozen German dishes listed, both my friend and I decided to try the WIENER SCHNITZEL - Breaded and Fried Pork Tenderloin served with Mashed Potatoes and Salad ($14). Now, I understand that it's traditionally served "naked" (and is usually made of veal over pork), but boy this could have used some sort of gravy/sauce. The taste wasn't bad, and the cut was pretty big, but the pork wasn't exactly juicy and the breading was a bit dry. Plus, it would have added a layer of flavor to an otherwise monotone dish. I mean, even the salad was hardly dressed! As underwhelming as the food may have been though, Steins still has some appeal as a drinking spot or to catch a game. There are a number of tables throughout the place, several TV's, and a nice selection of beers. Their offerings may not be super extensive, but the half dozen German imports are pretty legit. Plus, the steins are pretty sizable for the money...which just might be reason enough on its own to stop off for a drink! I'm just not sure about any of the entrees... In any case, prost! read more

Great neighborhood spot. We typically go to Hamburger Haven just down the street for a casual lunch/dinner meal with the kids, but I think we will have to spread it around now that we have discovered Steins. It is family owned, Austrian born father is in the kitchen working the menu items, mom is there watching the Steelers games, and I think all of their seven kids or almost all of them work shifts in the restaurant. Veronica served us yesterday, and she's one of the kids working at the restaurant. I love supporting a local family-owned establishment. The beer was good, service was incredibly attentive, and the food was good. My daughter had the pork chops, other two kids had burgers with fries, and I had the best grilled cheese with fresh tomato sandwich and fries I've had in a long time. Decor is simple, casual, and cool. Lots of screens for sports. A German inspired food place in the middle of Clement street is a find. I'll definitely be back often. read more

I love Steins!!! The service is stellar. It's a family run business and it feels like one. The beer selection is pretty vast and there is always a special. The menu is very sausage centric and since I don't dig on swine, there's not much for me. But the few dishes I've had, I relished. The fried shrimp appetizer is tasty and the fish and chips entree is decent. The sauerkraut is off the chain!!! Great place to get together with friends and watch soccer. read more
