Finally an authentic German restaurant. Being of German origin, I have tried many restaurants in the Bay Area that claim to offer authentic German food - unfortunately, most are a bit disappointment.

Ludwig's is different. They make their own sausages and even make some of their own sauces. I love their food, the atmosphere and everything about this place!

Really mixed bag on the food. Red cabbage was amazing - maybe the best I've ever had. Spatzel was legitimately awful and tasted like dirt. I got two sausages and one tasted like a hot dog while the other was fantastic. Veal schnitzel was pretty good. I'm sure if you came here often, you'd narrow down the best items to make this place 5 stars.

Appreciated that they had both German and local beers to choose from.
