Jonathan BrandonOctober 7, 2015Had the Pork Jäger Schnitzel was fantastic! I also tried the Beef Schnitzel, Duck Spätzle and Sausage Sampler. Finished with Sacher Torte. Everything was wonderful!
Food NetworkOctober 2, 2014German for "blue goose," this Wirtshaus-style Tribeca spot serves up modern Austro-German cuisine. You can't go wrong with their traditional Wiener Schnitzel. For a sweet treat, try the Apple Strudel. Read more
Tausha CDecember 9, 2012The restaurant is officially on my list of places with consistent & amazing food. Have tried the pork Wiener schnitzel, pork jäger schnitzel, borscht, wursts, & a few appetizers and desserts. So good!
Rebecca MazzaMarch 6, 2016Surprisingly the chicken wings are awesome and the sausages are the best I've ever had. Get the egg white and fruit dessert to end. Happy hour daily from 4-7.
German beer. Freshly made pretzels. Home made sausage. Amazing schnitzel. Crazy meringue dessert. There's a reason this place has been here for decades.
Harumi USeptember 7, 2014Wursts order comes in two by default but you can order 4 sausages and try each flavor. Kasekrainer (reddish one) is my favorite
Elyse EstradaApril 22, 2016I was very impressed with the food here. Start with a Bit Burger Beer, Pretzel and Duck Spätzle. Finish off with the Pork Wiener Schnitzel.
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014The pair of luscious cutlets come smothered in cream sauce sporting bacon and diced mushrooms, heaped with the softest spaetzle imaginable Read more
Albert YuenApril 18, 2011Interesting selection of German and Austrian beers on tap. I'm a beer lover and I hadn't had half of the beer menu. Schnitzel is tender and the spatzle is delicious! Get the red cabbage salad!
Christopher LeeApril 25, 2012Best Bavarian style food and beer in the city, and it's not kitschy like most German places. Great beer, try the Weihenstephaner, and the sausage platter is great!
Rachel W.December 26, 2012Came here for Christmas dinner, prix fixe menu. Awesome interior with white Christmas lights and walls covered in art posters and band posters. The Kaiserschmarm for dessert is great.
KolinMarch 3, 2015Weihenstephan Hefeweizen beer is amazing. Apple Strudel is mind blowing. Of course, you should try bratwurst as well!- Amit GNovember 8, 2017For dessert they have this special made-to-order souffle with lingonberries sauce at the bottom
The Wall Street JournalMay 25, 2010Perfect for those on jury duty at nearby courthouses. German-Austrian classics on the menu include Wiener schnitzel (breaded and fried), Jaeger schnitzel (with mushroom sauce), bratwurst and spätzle. Read more
BravoJanuary 27, 2010I recently came to appreciate Austrian food, and I have Chef Kurt Gutenbrenner to thank for it. I cannot get enough of his venison goulash with spaetzle or any of those juicy würsts. -Gail Simmons, To
The Corcoran GroupJuly 19, 2013We come here for Pork Wiener schniztel and wash it down with a Weihenstephaner. The perfect combination!
Love the food. My new neighborhood place and great choice for Xmas dinner. One thing. They don't have free wifi.
Silke HaasemannNovember 18, 2014Delicious Bratwurst, Sauerkraut and Spätzle. Service can be a tad on the slow side, especially during lunch
DanNovember 22, 2011Brezl delicious, as are sausages. The one with cheese amazing. Poached eggs don't come with toast, and baked ham deeply average and cold from the fridge.
NOT German! Austrians FTW. Literally one of my favorite restaurants in the whole city.
Brook ShelleyAugust 5, 2015Delicious schnitzel! Try it and get a half litre of ale while you're at it
Megumi MurakamiAugust 16, 2013Awesome food. Great service. A great place to sit down and have a beer and good food.
MelissaAugust 7, 2017Spaetzle enhanced with quark (tangy, curdless cottage cheese) and served like some ethereal form of mac 'n' cheese
Chelle 🗽December 13, 2011Non-greasy Wienerschnitzel on a soft pretzel roll, accompanied by potato-cucumber salad and lingonberry sauce, need I say more ?
Fantastic German fare at a reasonable price. Perfect portion size; not too much or too little. Just right for lunch! Read more
David StewardMarch 5, 2012Coolest vibe with artist and musician posters papering the walls. Sighted on last visit - renowned conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner
Julie M.August 15, 2013Had the pork Wiener schnitzel with the potato cucumber salad, it was amazing!!
New pastry chef! Wonderful kaiserschmarrn arrangement with pear slices and hazelnut ice cream - yum!
Carolyn B.November 19, 2010What they say is true. This resto boasts attentive service and delicious food. Try a wheat beer. There are many to select from.
- Aiden KirchnerSeptember 13, 2011They have such good German Food. So yummy. I love this place because my dad was born in Germany.
Barry HottSeptember 23, 2010Don't miss the giant pretzel! Eat it before it cools off and hardens. Try the Wurst platter and Curry Wurst.
Great brunch spot. Delish food and cool vibe/ gracious service
Michael AntonioNovember 22, 2012Julie @ the bar is awesome. Order the Jaeger schnitzel and a side of spaetzle!
Mayor says: lunch prix fixe of green bean salad followed by halibut is the way to go (swap halibut for jager schnitzel if you're especially hungry)
Best pork schnitzel I've had in the city. The wurst is also yummy.
Veal schnitzel, red cabbage salad. Don't dare start w/out ordering a bretzl.
