Food was decent (though not spectacular) and the beer was good. Solid variety. The 5% hidden surcharge on the bill before tip means rating drops 2 stars automatically. It’s dishonest and frustrating when I have to explain why I tipped 25% when splitting the bill after the fact. Don’t do this.

They were pretty busy and seemed a little understaffed. There was a large twxh conference i n town so the management could have predicted this. The staff themselves were great just clearly struggling to keep up with the i creased demand. Coming from a family of german descendants this was comfort food, the snitzel was delicious and they understood the importance of how the potatoes and kraut were not just sides, but truly equal stars in the meal. The beer selection looked great, and made me wish that I could still partake, but having soild na offering helped. Especially the grapefruit soda which added the bitter element needed to complete the full experience of good German food.

I spent $38 with a $3 tip for a tiny coke with no refill and a pretty lousy schnitzel. The biggest issue was the qr code ordering because I wasn't able to see what came with the entree and I got a lot of stuff on my plate that didn't taste very good but even if it weren't for the pretty gross gravy the meat itself wasn't better.
It's a good place if you're here to drink and get handhelds like a pretzel or tots but me and all my friends agreed our entrees all were overpriced and dull tasting.

Went for a work conference. Food options were limited but were good, not high end.
Authentic German food and Hofbrau experience in SF! Family style tables. If you’re a regular, you can keep your beer Stein in one of their shelves . Accessible, diverse, inclusive of all folks !

The only disappointing place about this place is that it has multiple large TVs showing sports. That spoils the vibe for me. No German bierhall does this.
sauerkraut to feed a small village: pretty disappointing… we got the bratwurst plate ($20) frankfurter plate ($20), and chicken schnitzel ($26). The mashed potatoes were watery and grainy (most definitely an instant mashed potato) and the plate was mostly sauerkraut. The chicken was good but dry and the sausages were pretty flavorless. The “potato salad” was oddly sour, maybe it was more sauerkraut in disguise. Overall, might be a good place to watch the game, but not for a sit-down dinner.

Too noisy but great beer

They finally got a good beer, a dopplebock. Vegetarian sausage. The service is always great. I love this 130+ year-old place. Now if they only brought in the Weihenstephan Doppelbock (Korbinian) on draft it would be perfect in the cold San Francisco weather.
