The three of us had one of each, so we could try everything, and all three were excellent. We had an excellent meal, I had the Rinderrouladen, which are thin pieces of beef rolled around a filling of onions and pickles, which came with red cabbage, mashed potatoes, and gravy - delicious! My son had Wiener schnitzel and a pretzel, and my husband had Weisswurst (veal sausages, I believe?) with soup and a pretzel. The friendly young man waiting on us cheerfully put in a to-go order for my daughter, who wasn't feeling well, and was happy to explain the menu items for me, so I could pick the best things for her. Great beer, great food, great service, an easy five-star review :)

My friend claims it has the best rumpsteak in town. It would be mighty hard to beat this steak. I know. I ate it and savored it. Cooked to order, it rests in a bed of peppercorn sauce. My favorite part about this rectangular slab would be the crisped rich tasting top. Next would be the sauce. Slice some steak and dip lightly. And then the potatoes. Delicately stacked, sliced 2-3 mm thick, speckled with ham, delicious. My friend even ordered more a la carte. Yes, they do allow that. It also came with a side salad, but who cares? Eat the steak, maybe 2.

The ambience was wonderful, and the wait staff was attentive. Although I don't drink, members of my party raved over the beer selection offered. The only thing that kept me from giving it 4 stars instead of 5 was the dessert. The apple streusel was okay, but the creme brûlée was not good at all. Instead of caramelizing the top sugar it was burned. Overall though, I would definitely come back.

They have copper kettles on -1 floor and horizontal maturation tanks on -2 floor. Dining area is a mix of indoor (lots of natural light) and outdoor; tables made of trees - you can see natural graining and knots. Since there were ample seating, you can find several that are smoke free (not no-smoking section). The Badisch Hell was delicious. My friend had the banana beer and was surprised at how delicious it was - not artificial banana flavor, but more like fresh, just ripe banana. I had the goulash with spaetzle. The dish was good except that their spaetzle was a bit firm/dry probably due to it being too flat. Do look up from where you sit to see the interesting architecture from the hotel next door.

The schnitzel wasn't awful, it was just "meh". Firstly they didn't have Veal Schnitzel so I opted for pork. The breading was far below any other Schnitzel I've had in Germany and Ive had plenty. Pretty much all I eat in Germany is Schnitzel or Brats. Its what I imagine school cafeteria breading would be like if they serve schnitzel for lunch at schools here. Secondly the potato salad was chilled and not warm like traditionally served which was a disappointment. It was tangy though. If it was warm my review would have been 3 stars with the mitigating positives I'll get to in a moment. There was also no jam/jelly to dip the schnitzel in as Ive had at other places. To reiterate, its wasn't awful, but far below the others Ive had in previous work trips to Germany. Karls in Stuttgart for example is mind blowing. I am staying in Karlsruhe this time around and plan to try other spots this week. I hope the preparation at Badisch Brauhuas isnt a regional thing that reflects what I'll experience in other spots in the city I try this week. Now for positives. Service is great! Decor is awesome and unique. Beer is delicious and perfectly poured. The crowd when I was there was, shall I say, on the older side (north of 70) They were all hovering their dishes so Im sure they'd rate this place higher. There are some other spots in Karlsruhe I look forward to trying and Im hopeful this is a one off.
