Ken GrossJuly 18, 2019The building and inside ambiance is great. Good selection of beer and wines. German food is good and authentic as you can get. I loved the Goulash. Drink specials are daily. Don’t miss this treasureUpvote4Downvote- Nice family friendly atmosphere. Food and drinks are tasty as well. Here for the fried oysters which are perfect today. Grab a beer at the bar and enjoy the day.

Had the ribs here last night.. Outstanding, the meat just fell off the bone, never had to use a fork to eat ribs beforeUpvote2Downvote- Visited the Gerst Haus due to lingering fried oyster craving, had shells in the oysters. 😫 too many shells to enjoy the meal. It was eaten, more frustrating than it was worth. Almost asked for $back.Upvote2Downvote

Best place in Evansville for craft beers ipa's, imperials etc... If Boullevard Collaboration #2 is on tap, DO NOT MISS OUT on that one.

As an East Coast transplant, the Midwest has a serious lack of Yeungling and I've gone through withdrawal here for months. Then I discovered Gerst Amber Beer, and my world was whole again. Drink it!Upvote1Downvote

Justin WilliamsJanuary 31, 2010Order the catfish dinner. Yes, I realize this is a German restaurant, but the fish is really tasty when mixed with German fries, mac & cheese and cornbread.Upvote2Downvote- Jakob SchimpfMay 23, 2011Jager Schnitzel is a must have.
