Fairly authentic German restaurant (verified by my German friend!). Serves many popular homemade style German dishes like schnitzel, potato pancakes, and pretzels, as well as some other dishes popular in surrounding countries like Sachertorte (a delicious Viennese cake!). For beverages, it offers authentic German beer and other drinks.

It has a large outdoor seating area that's a good option when it's warm enough. Indoor seating is all communal, so if you come here on a date, you'll likely be sitting next to another couple or two. They only take reservations for groups of 6 or 7, all other group sizes are walk-in only.

The acoustics aren't great inside, so it's very loud and it can be difficult to have a conversation with the person you came with.

Just an amazing little neighborhood bar. The staff is super friendly and just fun to be around. Remarkable beer selection, and the classic German beer garden food is unmatched!!!!

My husband's cousin and her husband met in this restaurant and they're so nice to bring us here to have a double date with us. We enjoyed the food and drinks.
It's just a bit loud inside.

There are postcards in the restroom and the sausages are fire. 10/10 experience.

A classic German restaurant with a friendly ambiance!

On the recommendation of one of my daughter’s friends, we tried out Suppenkuche located in the safe and revitalized Hayes Valley District , reasonably close to the Civic Center area, on my last night in San Francisco. Both of us were delighted with the experience.

Even from the wait outside, one feels the welcoming positive energy of the place. Patrons waiting for a spot were friendly and talkative, adding to the community vibe. When entering, one feels as if one has been magically transported to a Bavarian restaurant in an earlier era.

One is seated at large tables along with other guests, and the staff is attentive, and we received superb service and recommendations from Victoria.

The menu consists of traditional German options with an upscale and modern twist. Even though the place was packed the owner came by a couple of times to chat and check up on our experience.

A small bar at the side of the dining room adds to the classic German restaurant ambiance. Even the men's room displays the classic German beer house feel with a large wooden latch secure the door adding to the old-world authenticity.

Had a great time sitting at the bar with a loud atmosphere on a friday night. We ordered a wide selection of beers. They had great food. The salads provided with the entree were a bit on the sweeter side. Well worth it for the great hospitality and delicious food.

This place is special. Have been going here for over 20 years and can say it has also been consistent for 20 years. Excellent quality: fresh (pretzel rolls!) bread, schnitzel, dumpling, omelettes, meatloaf and even the trout is always fantastic. No crappy German beer here, only the good German beer. I'm glad this restaurant has navigated through the SF $$$ problems that basically destroyed the probabilities of survival for most restaurants in the past 25 years.

Great place. Potato pancake fritters were fantastic and crunchy. Sausage was great. Nice beer selection. Mashed potatoes and sauerkraut could use more salt.
