Adam SmithAugust 7, 2014Best burger I've had in a long while. The fried octopus appetizer special was phenomenal.
The scrambled egg cheddar on a biscuit is amazing with or without sausage. If sweet is your angle the French toast is tops too.
AlexisAugust 27, 2012Definitely the steak for two is the way to go- so good but takes 45 min to prepare. Maybe sneak in some Lugers sauce also
Paul KardousFebruary 11, 2016Steak Frites is very good, but the Pork Chop and Steak Tartare are excellent.
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 19, 2011We’ve raved about the meats here, but don’t overlook the veggies. Hold off your carnivorous needs and start with a divine Beet Salad or baco-licious Farm Salad.
Danny CarnajeSeptember 7, 2014The dudes at the bar are chill. My go-to drink (besides the 40oz in my bag) is the Three Rifles! Shots fired.
Weekend brunch is shockingly uncrowded. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes... even on a Sunday afternoon. Nice alternative to Buttermilk Channel.
James CNovember 17, 2014Great food. You must try all of the sausages. House made and all are worth it.
The aviation cocktail here is outstanding. I'm picky about them since they're one of my faves but, no matter who's behind the bar, they are stellar.
Eva d'AmbrosioAugust 26, 2016Best pork chop of my life. I wanted to steal the bone. And I'm normally not crazy about pork chops.- The Corcoran GroupNovember 17, 2011Ok…ok…we’ve raved about the meats and the veggies, but what about the cocktails? If they’re still serving the Applejack Zazerac, you’ll know the answer!
CompassMay 14, 2014Spaetzel, steak tartare, and an in-house butchering program rule the roost at this hip German-style food hall.
Brunch is great. Steak and eggs is wonderful, and a great deal.
Brianna KlemmSeptember 26, 2012At least one of the bar tenders knows how to make a Wisconsin style old fashion. If you're missing the Midwest ask for it!
One of my favorite brunches in the neighborhood. Always order the breakfast sausage.
Nathan SukonikMay 12, 2015Meats are very good here, but our food was over-salted. I would request that before ordering food you ask them to leave off the sea salt.
Tommy KaneAugust 25, 2011Excellent bartenders. If you want to learn the history about any drink. This is your joint. High end absinthe.
AJ TobeyApril 14, 2012A large selection of homemade sausages at decent prices. Perfect pit stop on the way to a summer BBQ.
Gradie OakesOctober 3, 2011Fantastic and creative cocktails at the bar go with the great German food including knockout spaetzels and wursts.
Joe ChecklerFebruary 12, 2011The burger is one of the better ones in Brooklyn, and the Pilsner - a joint venture between the restaurant and Six Points brewery - goes perfectly with it.
Don't miss the pork chop. It might be the best piece of pork you'll ever have.
Four syllables: Roasted Marrow. One thick bone, sliced cleanly down the middle. Literally bubbling straight from the oven with a whole roasted garlic, toast, radish, and gremolata. I would go back f
drew tarvinMay 1, 2015Great atmosphere but I went searching for a supposedly great G&T (gin and tonic, not game and thrones) and left disappointed.- Currently ranked as my #1 Brooklyn burger - out of A LOT of other places. Fresh ground daily black angus. Yum.
Village VoiceOctober 25, 2012Critics' Pick winner of The Village Voice Best of NYC 2012 Best Bone Marrow Use.
SkeeterNYCAugust 28, 2010This is what needs to happen, so listen up...Mermaid Cove oysters to Roasted Beef Bone Marrow to Herb & Wild Mushroom Spatzle to Pork Schnitzel. Don't make me tell you twice.
Homemade pretzels with kickass honey mustard (and buttah), people! Makes a great starter.
BernerMay 19, 2013Peter Lugers bacon, step aside please. Order anything with bacon and you'll walk away happy
Red FabbriJanuary 7, 2012The Black Forest sandwich is a must for brunch. And the bloody is one of the best in the city.
Greg SchulzJune 11, 2013The bacon is outstanding. Make sure you get something with bacon on, in, or around it.
MegFebruary 15, 2011Beef Sauerbraten is AMAZING. Do not pass it up. Vesper Brett is also a great way to start the meal. Nice cocktails too!
The New York TimesMay 25, 2010Start with six oysters, a tankard of Sixpoint IPA and a plate of German cured meats. (Party like it’s 1899!) Now salad, steak. #bklyn4life. Read more
All day eating and drinking here=best day off. Start with awesome lunch and beers. Keep going till dinner. Eat the big steak. Its fun.

"Fantastic steaks, burgers, and beef tartare. I loved the bluefish dip with a gin and house-made tonic."
Ruthie Edwards - 8.5
"a small relaxed space. i appreciate the minimalist décor, which still conveys warmth and calm. to sit in the window to enjoy a beverage to stay in one of their ceramic cups is time well spent."
