Oh my gosh. The best surprise in a long time. Greeted at the door by chef Kenny and it was off to the races. Incredible friendly and knowledgeable staff, wonderful authentic German food with an attached bakery/kiosk to buy more freshly made items (all sorts of homemade cakes/mustard/etc.) old timey homey feel. Reasonably priced. Really great. read more

Pleasant and attentive staff. I had Wiener schnitzel and my friend had chicken with paprika spatzel (sp) and asparagus. Not enough spatzel but everything was tasty. We split a piece of the most delicious cake, white cake with whipped cream, raspberries and meringue. Just baked for their weekly opening. It's a warm cozy place but the AC was on tonight, a little cool. read more

This was our first time trying Gasthaus , wow this place blew us away ! If you like German food this is the spot ! From the main course too there deserts, food was Great ! Good prices for what they serve you ! Enjoy ! read more

The beer was good, but the food they served seemed like a reheat.....it was cooked but not hot....i was hungry so i ate it, but a bit disappointed. Que sera sera....... read more

Good experience. Food and drink were great. I had Jaeger Schnitzel and some Riesling. True German experience. My only issue is I had reservations for 2 people and they didn't have a table available ( very busy) so in true German fashion we shared a large table with several others. Good experience overall. read more

Pretty good food and vibe! Would definitely recommend and visit again. The beer looks really nice too and we will try them next time for sure. read more

Delicious food and warm, homey atmosphere. The menu includes great German classics done correctly. Wonderful bakery on site as well. Only wish they were closer by. Be sure to check the hours of operation -- and for specials. read more

This is one of those old time restaurants that make you feel at home. They have the best draft root beer we've ever had. House made pastries are a real treat. The customer service is thoughtful and attentive. Easy to get to from Notre Dame. Plenty of parking. The only hiccup was being sat under a high-powered wall-mounted air conditioner unit, and then felt like we received their irritation when we asked to move to the empty table next to us, away from the cold air. I would like to suggest the restaurant add a baffle or some way to divert the air. read more

The staff was very friendly however service was extremely slow from the start to the end. Had the brunch and the omelette was too greasy.

We really enjoyed this German food! The people were very sweet and made sure we were cared for, from the drinks to dessert. read more

Weiss' Gasthaus is a hidden gem in South Bend, and Chef Kenny is the star of the show. His dishes are beautifully crafted, full of flavor, and clearly made with care and passion. The menu strikes a great balance between traditional comfort and creative flair--every bite feels like it was made just for you. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is just as warm. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. Weiss' is the kind of place that makes you want to come back the next night. Chef Kenny is doing something really special here. read more

In town for the Irish? Well I suggest you "Eat, Drink, Be German", as recommended at Weiss Gasthaus. On a recent trip to Notre Dame University for a football game, we were looking for a good place for dinner. After driving 8.5 hours from Pennsylvania we spotted Weiss Gasthaus on the way to our South Bend hotel. It's not often you see a German restaurant so I checked out yelp reviews and after reading, I knew we had to try it. We LOVED it. My husband ordered a beer, the Kostritzer, in a liter mug (it was HUGE). I had a dry Riesling. We ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer with bacon and maple syrup (among the best Brussels ever). My husband and I each ordered one the Thursday dinner specials, the brisket. The brisket was tender with the fat cap intact. It was a generous portion served with a seasonal fresh vegetable medley (seasoned perfectly) and mashed potatoes. My husband also ordered a side of braised red cabbage (also delicious). My dad ordered the other Thursday special, the roulade, with spaetzle and red cabbage. Our entrees were served with a dinner salad. We all enjoyed the homemade vinaigrette dressing. And finally, my dad ordered the German Apple Cake for dessert, which he really enjoyed. The atmosphere is pleasant, with Cuckoo clocks displayed in the dinin We must also mention our wonderful server Marye. She was helpful with ordering and displayed wonderful Midwestern friendliness. We highly recommend the Weiss Gasthaus. read more

Although the restaurant was not busy, the server ignored us as we waited by the "Please wait to be seated" sign and continued moving cakes around in the lobby. We waited patiently for several minutes and finally asked her if we could be seated. She said someone else would do that. Finally "someone else" came and she said she would seat us. Then she went back to the woman with the cakes and didn't come back. We waited longer and finally I went back to where they were and asked if we could please be seated or maybe even seat ourselves. We were told that was not "procedure" and we were ignored again. Finally all the talking and cake moving ended and we were seated at a table with dirty glasses and given equally dirty menus. We were left alone again until we finally gave up and left. This was the most bizarre incident I've ever experienced in a restaurant. Can't describe the food but the service and ambiance were miserable. read more

We ate there all 3 days we were in town. It was amazing everything we ate was full of yumminess!! The service was excellent the whole staff was awesome. Personal touches like visits from Chef Kenny and LeAnn. I highly recommend!!! The desserts were mouth watering!!! read more

He is 92 and his birthday celebration with his wife of over 70 years, 3 children and their spouses needed to be special...and this remarkable restaurant made it so! Food was phenomenal, service by sweet Paige was stellar, and privilege of meeting the chef/owner was wonderful. Thanks so much for a lovely evening...we will be back! read more

food was excellent and its family run. It makes it special when you have a father and mother there along with their children. It's a wonderful atmosphere and if the weather is right, you can eat outside or inside your choice. read more

I reviewed Weiss' Gasthaus last year after dining on a carry out order, and I would like to update that review after dining in this evening. I won't be as lengthy as last time haha-- but suffice it to say I will DEFINITELY be back. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere-- cozy, welcoming, and yet laid back. Our waitress, Mary, was kind and attentive to answer any questions I had about the menu. She checked in appropriately but didn't hover. Now for the FOOD... WOW. It was so very delicious! I didn't bring my phone, otherwise I would have updated my pictures as well. The portion sizes were much more generous than when I carried out my order, I was very glad with portions and quality. The food was piping hot, perfectly seasoned, and just HIT THE SPOT. I was craving some comfort food, and I could not have asked for a better meal. I am already scheming the next time I can dine at this truly hidden gem-- GO. You WILL NOT regret it! read more

Excellent food and atmosphere. It's evident these people care about what they do and take pride in it- and they should! They have a wonderful way of making a first timer feel like a regular. read more

Ate at Weiss' Gasthaus on a Friday night for our 33rd wedding anniversary. Has the mushroom soup for appetizer, it was awesome. Had Sourbraten for main, was a little salty compared to usual. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, but had quite a wait for the food. Everything is homemade, but even so it was a long wait. Again, my past visits were not so slow. The place is nice, lots of things to look at including a wall of cucuclocks. Will come back again, but the long wait holds me off a 5 star rating. read more

I have been waiting to go here forever and I am sad that I waited so long. The food was fantastic and the renovation with the outside seating area was great.

A great and friendly staff made for a 5 star experience. read more

South bends best unkept secret. Oh my god prime rib night. It's so quaint and so cute and the food is totally authentic. The service is astounding. It's easy in and out and faster than a sit down. Restaurant really should be. Very chill atmosphere. I wish I could try those gorgeous desserts, but I'm so full. Next time I'm just going to try it backwards and start with dessert! Thank you guys so much for making my tummy happy! read more

Super awesome. Cheese spaetzel was amazing. Herring salad excellent. Mushroom soup awesome. The toast was meh. The roasted veggies were good, but somehow didn't seem like a traditional german fare (but I admit ignorance). Our server was just OK, but fortunately another couple came in immediately behind us and their server was superb. As such, we got to overhear a few things that helped. Although we had just declined desert and paid when the other waitress suggested they could get their cake to go (they voiced feeling a bit full)... Argh - the German apple cake would have been fine with breakfast! Was glad they happily seated and served us at 8:30pm with a 9pm closing time on Sat night. Staff were all friendly and encouraged us not to rush, etc while they cleaned up. We were last to leave at 9:10, chatting relaxedly with staff before leaving. read more

A very convenient German experience with a modern flair. Polite, friendly and welcoming service staff. Ownership family seems regular on the floor to insure you are satisfied. Menu is a blend of traditional German menu with a modern flair added. The slow cooked hock is worth the trip alone. Desserts afterward and incredible choices. They also have a selection of sausages in the front cooler to take home. Absolutely worth stopping in whenever you are looking for some old fashioned Gemutlichkeit! read more

Me and my family went for Sunday brunch. The whole experience was wonderful. We had a large party and needed a high chair. The staff was so accommodating with some very specific food requests and arranging everyone comfortably. They brought warm biscuits and apple butter to the table- which was absolutely delicious. I had an omelette which was tasty and packed with fresh veggies. I tried a bite of schnitzel though and if I ever make it back that's what i'll be having. We also tried some cakes at the end and the apple pie/cake was a winner. Overall great experience, would recommend! read more

My family had a lovely dinner. They have nice wait staff even the chef came and brought our amazing food and drinks. I had a very nice salty pretzel for my appetizer. I love my pretzels salty. We also had ham shank it was delicious. The Jager schnitzel was perfectly cooked and the bread crumbs on top of it did not fall off. You should get the root beer because it was sweet and fresh from the fountain. Highly recommend to go here and have a great time!! read more

Friendly servers! Schnitzel was breaded to perfection and fried in a good quality oil. Incredible bakery selection. They have a section in front where you can stop in and get bakery and sausage to go. read more

The first impressions of the restaurant don't give you much. Seems like a run of the mill German restaurant, with some schnitzels and some sausages. However, our friend from Niles insisted that we come for brunch, so I gave it a shot. The service was excellent and our server explained everything to us about the sauces (jager sauce is mushroom base and it is fantastic). She was friendly and patient with our tired and probably a little hungover group. I ordered the schnitzel with the jager sauce and a side of spaetzle. The schnitzel was excellent, moist and crispy, with a super rich umami jager sauce to go with it. The spaetzle was fine, but incredibly rich. The potatoes that came with my schnitzel were amazing - we were trying to figure out what they do to them to make them so unique and interesting. Try the radler for brunch! It's juicy and beery in all the right ways. I wish more places would offer them instead of mimosas. I am never in this area but was very happy to get to experience the restaurant and a little bit of South Bend. read more

Very good German food, we came for brunch on a Sunday and weren't disappointed. Not great for kids at that time--no real kids menu so our boys had to order adult meals that they weren't familiar with. It ended up making for a very expensive brunch but the food was definitely authentic and delicious. I'd come again but not with kids. read more

Every time I go here the food and service are consistently great! We ordered the potato pancakes and they were incredible--much better than the potato pancakes you get at the Christkindlmarket in Chicago. We also got the smaller portions of the schnitzel, which was very good. The schnitzel comes with sauerkraut but they let you substitute in spätzle. The spätzle is a bit different than what I'm used to. It's more of a scrambled egg texture/taste than a noodle texture but it's still good. And, the Black Forest cake we ordered was delicious! The decor is pretty standard German restaurant decor and they very lightly play German music in the background. The noise level in the restaurant is very low which is great. Some restaurants it's impossible to hear the people you came with talk and that's definitely not the case here! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves German food! read more

What a great find! Food was delicious and was pretty close to what we've eaten while living in Germany. The restaurant felt like you were in a German spot, with music and pictures and the benches. Only complaint, sort of, is that we didn't get a very good portion of the spaetzle (noodles) and the lack of chicken schnitzel. Taste was good, beer & wine choices good, and the kids enjoyed the fussball (sp) table, but not 5-star outstanding. read more
