The Schnitzel Garten - Jäger schnitzel - German Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

Love this place! Great food and drinks. Live band on first Friday. Fun atmosphere with pick a nic tables.

I had not had schnitzel since I quit traveling to Austria for business assigrnments. The Schnitzel Garten was a treat. The schnitzel dishes were excellent. I only rated a 4 star because the strudel was not as good as I had hoped. Service seemed slow. I will return however. read more

I always come here with my buddy. Food and service is always great and beer is always awesome. I enjoy their variety of food and tastes and even have vegan options!! read more

A fun place to add a new twist to the Boise food scene! My prior exposure to German/Bavarian food was limited to sausages and potato dishes, so I was not sure what to order. Our waitress (a friendly Bavarian transplant, complete with a charming accent) was happy to discuss the menu and make recommendations. She was very patient with our large group and helped us navigate the menu. I ended up ordering the schnitzel with onion spätzle and the food was very homey. The schnitzel portion was generous and the breading was thin and crisp. The spätzle dumplings were chewy, a nice textural foil to the fried schnitzel. The plate felt like it could have used something light to offset all the rich fare, though, but I guess that's just German food. To be fair, they did serve a little cucumber salad before bringing the main course, but to my American palate it still felt like it needed something more to balance the heavy food. The restaurant had long wooden benches, which added to the German feeling, as did the live music--an accordion player! I don't drink, but those who do seemed to really enjoy the gigantic steins of German brew. This was an interesting place to have a meal and it made for a fun experience. I don't think I'd go often, but it's an entertaining, different option for an occasional evening out. read more

Real German Cuisine. The owner has brought a bit of Germany with him to Boise! Great food and wonderful atmosphere.

Great huge portions. Service is slow but so it is in Germany. Your supposed to sit, enjoy the drinks, atmosphere, and food.

I think the quality of the food has declined. Since its reopening we have visited twice the beer is good but perhaps they got a new chef.

Overpriced for the quality of food. Waitress was nice and attentive. It really came down to over salted entrees and very dry brats. Won't likely go back. read more

First time here. Anticipated great food and service. The tables were all picnic tables. The interior was drab. Sat outside and had a waitress who was on her second day. She recited which beers they had because they did not have most on the menu. If you want wine she told me to go inside and taste some because the bartender was an expert.(he was about 24!) The food was mediocre at best. Service was awful. 2 people and our bill was 90$. Outrageous. We will not return. read more

Curry wursy is amazing, the red cabbage is always fantastic, the staff is super friendly and the setting is delightful! If you haven't been here yet you have to try it. Many diffferent brats & wonderful traditional dishes to choose from. We have never been dissapointed, always gave a great meal and experience here. read more

The Schnitzel Garten - Prost! - German Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

Great seating outside. Nice German music. GET dessert...the Apple Struesal [?sp] as you can easily share. Delicious to say the least. We had the sausage sampler for 2 and you get Brat, Paprika, Beef and veal made local just for them. Great variety of tastes. The pork Shank is to die for....pork on steroids and yummy. Our waitress was a blast. read more

Tried the lingonberry schnitzel, jager schnitzel, cheese spetzel, and apple strudel for takeout and all I can say is yum. Both schnitzels came with a side. They were out of the veggies so we got mashed potatoes and a warm potato salad. They were both delicious. The whole family fought over the strudel, it was that good. Can't wait to take our growler back and try their large selection of german beers. I definitely recommend this place! read more

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT. Thank you for hosting my 30th birthday. It was unforgettable. The owner was a breeze to work with. The details were amazing. My family and friends were in attendance and the food was fantastic. I had such a great time. My recommendation to anyone going for the first time is to go with someone you love. Eat the pork shank, side of jäger spaetzle, both bread and potato dumplings, and red cabbage. Share that with two German beers and you'll have the best dish in all of Boise! Thanks again for making everything special. read more

I just had the privilege of dining here with my high school German class. It was great, some of the best food I've ever enjoyed in Boise. I personally recommend the wurst if you choose the Schnitzel Garten for your dinner. If you're looking for an authentic german dining experience this is absolutely the place to go. The owner was very hospitable and happily conversed in german with myself and the other students. The environment of the dining area is what makes this place special, with banners celebrating München (Munich) it is the Boise-metro's little slice of Germany. After my friends and I finished our delicious meal we played a few rounds of the iconic tabletop game Connect Four. Can't recommend the Schnitzel Garten highly enough (and I couldn't even try the alcohol) -Joe Abajian (also posted on google but I put it here because people need to experience this place) read more

Pricey for minmal food, the service was slow and we we're only one of two tables, forgot the sauerkraut with our brat on top of it all... Isn't that the main part? Lackluster experience overall, doubt we'll go back. read more

Enjoyed mothers day lunch and split the sausage plate with my husband. I REALLY liked the smoked brat wurst. The complementary apple strudel with ice cream was a nice special bonus. We also tried a beer paddle which gave us a taste of several different German beers. read more

My new go to place. First time here. Service was AWESOME! Ben our server was very friendly and so helpful.Our friends ordered beef stroganoff... so tender, and delicious! Husband ordered gypsy veal snitzel...was Awesome! I ordered chicken gypsy... was so flavorful and the breading was perfect. I love this place!!! Will be coming back for more. read more

This little German gem is fabulous. Food is fresh and so delicious. Large portions as you would expect from Germans. Plenty of choices for good German wine and beer! Highly recommended read more

Very nice waitresses and the gluten-free sausages were fantastic! I'll definitely be coming by more often

After hearing excellent things from friends, my husband brought me here for my birthday yesterday. I'm so grateful he did. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming and the atmosphere was inviting. The gentleman waiting on us gave helpful recommendations, which led to me trying a trout dish that was to die for. White wine sauce, seasonal vegetables that were perfectly cooked and fresh...delicious! My husband had jaeger schnitzel and raved about it. I don't usually care for mushrooms, but would have happily eaten the mushrooms with his schnitzel. It was that good. Everything is made to order and was clearly fresh. This does mean a longer wait for your food, but it's worth it. I knew that going in and wasn't bothered. It meant more time to linger over my beer and talk, and the servers were attentive. While you can't expect to get in and out, definitely come for the fresh food and enjoy the experience and kind service. Several large parties were also in the restaurant while we ate, and our server still checked on us frequently while we waited and during our meal. As we got our check, my husband informed a server that it was my birthday and she offered apple strudel on the house. This extra bit of customer service impressed me. I ate so much dinner that I simply didn't have room, but we assured her we will be back. And we will! I want to try the strudel and enjoy more of their hospitality. What a lovely gesture! A final note - I thought I had had good beer before we came here. I was wrong. Best beer I've ever had. I meant to have only one; I had two. I have no regrets. read more

Apple strudel is to die for!!! Nothing like local and a place that treats employees like family

Just found this restaurant tucked away off of old State Street in Eagle. Great German beer selection, good wine selection I had the Jaeger Schnitzel, delicate breading, and a great sauce of mushrooms, and spices. Brats were great as well. Warm potato salad was authentic, and cucumber salad was very savory. Finished the evening with Apple Strudel and cheese cake n read more

If you know how schnitzel is made, one may think its pretty easy - and it can be if you know what you are doing. There is a bit of brute force that goes into but you also don't want to pound it to smithereens either! The breading needs to be coated but not too thick and then pan fried, not burnt or deep fried - Long story short - this place makes schnitzel like it was made in Oma's kitchen. We had a flight of brew too - which I love to do and sample what people have on tap. Pricey - yeah a bit - it can add up but if you go out to dinner as special treat - then its the typical cost. We went on a Wednesday around 6:30pm and we were the only table in there. The service was great, but there was a Accountant? Bookkeeper? for the company just sitting there adding up numbers and shuffling papers - hence the 4 stars - kind of distracting and ruined the dinner vibe. We did ask if they had a machine for the schnitzel or did it by hand - apparently a little of both. read more

I was so happy to find an authentic and memorable German culinary experience while visiting Boise. The atmosphere was lively and friendly, the service was attentive, with the personalized recommendations being spot-on. The Cabernet Sauvignon was matched well with my schnitzel. I will definitely be back! read more

Good unpretentious German food in a friendly setting with good service. This is not a fancy restaurant but an authentic German guesthouse. The portions are large. I had the jaeger schnitzel and spatzle and both were very good. Worth the visit. read more

The platters are awesome. More food than the three of us could eat, plus maybe two meals left over. Great price, friendly service. We will come here again. read more

Incredibly delicious and authentic German food. Very friendly wait staff. I thought I knew good beer until I came here!

We visited this lovely restaurant yesterday. The food was delicious! Every single thing we had, from the potato leek soup, spaetzel, to the apfelstrudel were amazing. My brother, who said he wasn't hungry, ate more food than anyone. Needless to say, there were NO leftovers. I'll definitely eat here again. read more

Very good jaeger schnitzel. The closest to authentic I've had since leaving Germany. The portion sizes were large, enough for leftovers. About 8 draft beers on tap, which according to the waitress, rotate frequently. The restaurant is designed to resemble a restaurant in a German Village with large tables and plenty of seating. We took advantage of the break in Summer weather and sat in their Bier Garten. It's tucked along a fence line and old state street. The foliage is a nice view and make it easier to forget you're so close to heavy traffic (not easily heard). If you dare have room after the large portions, try the apple strudel. The crust is light and flaky and comes out warm. It isn't the typical American strudel filled with sugar. It had more of a natural sweetness from the apples. It was perfectly paired with scoops of vanilla ice cream. All in all, it was a hearty meal, delightful dessert, washed down with some genuine German beer. Definitely made the cut for additional visits. I'm excited about Octoberfest which will start mid September and run thru 1 October. read more

The Schnitzel Garten - Jaeger schnitzel, French fries, green salad and beer out in the Bier Garten. - German Near Me - Eagle, Idaho

Went here for the first time tonight with my husband and didn't leave feeling the need to really come back. Service was good and the place was nice and clean but the food just wasn't anything special. We both had the jager schitzel and it was just okay, and slightly bland. The salads were tasty but that isn't really the star of the meal. The portions are huge which is nice but for the price of 22 dollars a plate, I expect not only size but outstanding flavor. read more

I was looking for foreign food and this popped up in Google. And I am SO GLAD. The servings are huge, so you will leave full-- or have food to take home as a left over. It tasted just like the food I tried in Germany last year! read more

We haven't been to the Schnitzel Garten in a long time so decided to give it a try tonight. Not much has changed since we last visited. The décor is still the same---mainly picnic tables with benches and a few tables for two and four people. There are posters on the walls of familiar tourist destinations in Germany and the German flag. There is a good selection of beers on tap and German wines. I chose Kabinett which is a nice fruity white wine---a bit dryer than Reisling and it went well with the entrée. My husband and I shared an order of Jagerschnitzel----a thinly pounded breaded pork cutlet about the size of a dinner plate with a creamy mushroom sauce. Housemade spatzle and a sour cream dressed cucumber salad accompanied this dish. Very delicious and definitely sharable! Our son chose Paprika Wurst--- two bratwurst with sauerkraut and fried potatoes. The wurst were mildly spicy with a very distinct paprika taste. Very good---I may have to order that next time! Dessert here consists of cheesecake(German style) and Apple Strudel. Both of these desserts were large portions and my husband and I shared the cheesecake----more of a fluffy consistency served with a blackberry sauce on the plate. Yum! The Apple Strudel comes with a drizzle of vanilla glaze and heated---very tasty! Desserts are made on the premises. This restaurant has come a long way since it opened around four years ago. There is a small garden patio with more picnic tables and four of them were filled with couples and families. For a Tuesday evening this little restaurant was pretty busy. Our server was very helpful and efficient and was able to keep up with the increasing volume. It's nice to have a good German restaurant in the area and I'm happy that it seems to be thriving. In fact we were informed by the server that in the winter German movies are shown here(with subtitles, of course!) Might be fun to check that out! Prost! read more

Good selection of German beer on tap and wine. You won't find Coors Light here! We had the Gypsy -red pepper sauce, and the Hunter- mushroom sauce, pork schnitzel with a side of egg noodles and warm potato salad. We started the meal with a house salad topped with their in-house dressing. Food was very good and in my limited knowledge, authentic but I thought it a bit pricey, especially for lunch. Entrees were all $20+. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Unfortunately the service here continues to go downhill. You can never plan to get waited on in a timely fashion. They seen to be understaffed all the time. The food is still good but really it is hardly worth the price and wait. I really feel bad for the staff as I don't think it is their fault as much as the owner that seems to be oblivious to the pain of the staff and the effect on the customer experience. read more

A group of us met at Schnitzel Garten on a Thursday evening. I used my GPS for directions, but still had a difficult time locating the restaurant as it is on a corner of a 'mini mall' and not very visible from the street as you a driving along. I was surprised at how rustic the decor and seating were, given reviews I'd read (and the prices) I'd expected something a bit more upscale- however I've taken this as a lesson NOT to expect things when going to visit a new (to me) eatery. It was early on a pleasant fall evening, so our party chose to sit outside. Seating consists of picnic tables, Plastic tablecloths if you are inside, but none if you are outside. If you are a person of size, or have any issue that makes picnic table seating difficult or uncomfortable be warned. The few folks who'd arrived ahead of us were settled and had ordered drinks. There were baskets on the table with paper napkins and silverware, a few drink menus and a few 'Ocktoberfest' menus (a scaled down menu for the restaurant that stated it was served until October 6th, yet here is was October 9th). It became apparent after a few minutes that they were either short staffed, or that there was only one primary server. Knowledgeable about the menu and how things were prepared, but, as became more apparent later, either overworked or simply short fused in terms of dealing with other staff, AND without the best method of serving a group. My husband and me were not drinking that night, so I ordered a soda ($3.50 for a PINT and nary a refill offered all evening), he had water(again no refill offered). Interesting to note though that others at our table who were imbibing in wine or beer, seemed to get plenty of attention in terms of refills, even water. Ah well, a small thing. We started our Schnitzel Garten dining experience with a Schinken Kase Bretzel, a pretzel roll with cheese and bacon bits. This arrived hot and fresh, with a soft and tasty bretzel (pretzel) base, plenty of melted cheese and absolutely heavenly bacon (not prefab 'bits' but chopped pieces of glorious bacon). My husband had decided to go the pasta route, ordering the Jager Spatzle- a freshly prepared dish of pasta, bacon, onion, mushroom and cheese. I opted for the Jager Schnitzel using pork- which is a pork loin pounded flat, breaded and fried, served with a mushroom sauce- I chose sauerkraut and cucumber salad (gurkensalat) as my sides. We experienced the aforementioned interaction between the server and a young man helping her out when the entrees for our group began to arrive. The young man (perhaps new to his position) was uncertain if the meat on the schnitzel he was bringing to our party was chicken, pork or veal (it appeared they used color flagged toothpicks to mark them, but he wasn't sure). When he asked the help of the server as she went by she basically snapped at him "Do I look like the cook to you?" and kept going. So the young man had to return inside the restaurant with the food to ask. Having done my time on tile floors working in food service, I know it's not easy, but I was astounded that this type of interaction took place in full view of our party. Back to the food.. While we were quite impressed with our bretzel appetizer, this same could not be said for our entrees. My husbands Jager Spatzle needed more cheese, and just seemed to be bland. I tried some at the restaurant, and then the next day we heated the leftover portion. Indeed it needed more cheese. I discovered that schnitzel is pretty much a glorified chicken fried steak, and I'm sorry to say that I've experienced better 'chicken fried' meats in other Boise establishments for half the cost of what we spent this evening. The mushroom sauce was good, but there needed to be more of it. I am used to the edges of anything 'chicken fried' being crispy. with my Jager schnitzel however, the cripsy (dare I say overcooked?) seemed to be advanced further to the center of the meat that it should have. The Gurkensalat was the HIGHLIGHT of my entree.. a cucumber salad in a creamy base (Sour cream perhaps? Buttermilk?)- thinly sliced cucumbers and dill. It was quite refreshing. The sauerkraut was a disappointment. It seemed much like the very same foodservice 10 gallon bucket sauerkraut I've seen on the condiment bar at Costco or any stadium. No caraway, no peppers, nothing to make it any different than the jar of sauerkraut in my own fridge at home. Am I being to nitpicky to think that in a German restaurant I might find something that stands out a bit more? When our main course was complete, even though no one asked us about it, the group began to consider dessert. In a whirl wind stop, the server spoke to about half the group sharing the three choices available that evening. Being at the other end of the table, we missed out and got the 411 from the rest of the group. Cheesecake, and Apple Strudel and read more

Delicious authentic German food in a fun dining atmosphere. The pricing may seem steep but there are a good mix of inexpensive dishes as well and the portions are huge, very conducive to sharing. There is live music on most Fridays. The owners are very friendly. The food came out quickly and was delicious. We had the pretzels with a delicious mustard sauce. One is plenty to share for two people. I ordered the ragout. It was hearty and great winter food. The best was my husbands entree, the Jaeger schnitzel. Oh.my.goodness. The mushroom sauce was heaven. We asked for an extra dish I poured over my meal and another extra dish to go. The noodles were like mom makes them and so good swimming in that mushroom sauce. We finished off with the apple strudel, yum yum. We will be back to try the n noodles with gouda cheese and bacon, and to order the sausage sampler. What a fun place to discover right in our neck of the woods. read more

We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday. The decor was okay, but in a building that just didn't feel right for the venue. The entrance was around the corner and down a long walkway from the parking, and a cold draft chilled the entire room every time someone came in or out. Prices were higher than I had expected, and the service was very, very slow. I like experimenting with ethnic food, but German just may not be my thing! The spaetzle I ordered was greasy, heavy, without much texture, and served in much too large a portion. Maybe that makes it authentic, but I would have preferred to be served about 1/3 the amount, with some kind of veggies included as a side! My husband had the pork shank, which he said was okay, although not particularly noteworthy. Overall, a disappointing experience . . . but I still think it would be fun to try their house-made sausages some time. I wish a smaller sampler of their sausage selections were available . . . say, a slice of each! But their sausage sampler platters are $38 for two people, or $72 for four. read more

German food is one of my favorite cuisines, and I've eaten it all over the world- including for four years in Germany. I'm just baffled by this food. Rot kohl is not hard to make. I'm a plate cleaner and I could not finish a couple of my dishes. Where did they get their recipes? So disappointed. read more
