Chicken was fanatic. Had a very peppery taste which i liked. Gravy on the potatoes was great. Greenbeans were very good as well. Tried their breaded tenderloin which was really thick and hearty compared to most I've had. Would definitely go back. The me owner was super friendly and a pleasure to talk to.

Brau haus is a must try! Their tenderloin chick. Sandwich is always on point. The service is always great. The servers are fast and friendly. The ambiance is great. I would recommend the fried pickles they have a great sauce to go along with it and the crisp of the dough is just perfect. I added pictures of the menu just in case.

This was our first time being there and the waitress seemed in a hurry and kept rushing us. The food was mediocre and she told me Hoosier fries were steak fries but I was served potato wedges. The Tenderloin sandwich on the Indiana trail was burnt and dry. The place was bigger on the inside then what it looked though.

The food was excellent German fare. We had the Pretzel App, Snitzel, Reuben, and Tenderloin. All were excellent especially the State recognized Tenderloin which seems quite an honor for Indiana. Service was friendly and outstanding. Restaurant interior was old and worn which is historic and quaint in the eating/bar area but a disaster in the bathrooms which is the main reason for the slight markdown.

If you like schnitzel, this place does it right. The gravy tastes homemade and it's awesome.
Comes with potato cakes and they are outstanding. Perfectly seasoned and very little grease. Also comes with good sauerkraut and a side salad.
Staff is friendly and professional. If you're anywhere near Oldenburg and you love German food, you should prioritize this place.

This restaurant is in the historical German influenced town of Oldenburg, Indiana, next door to the city of Batesville. This is my second time dining at the Brau Haus. It's a favorite when my spouse and I visit family in Batesville. We ordered an appetizer of pretzel twists. The pretzels had a rye bread look and were surprisingly very tasty, served with a garlic flavored cheese! I ordered a reuben and my spouse ordered a beef Manhattan. The service was great, the restaurant is quaint, and the food has hit the spot both times. I highly recommend a stop into the Brau Haus!

The Coffman Review

I just discovered fried chicken for the first time. 🍗 🤯

Sure, I’ve had KFC, Church’s, and Popeyes. I’ve had it at Hollyhock Hill, Kopper Kettle, and The Eagle. I’ve eaten legs, wings, thighs, and breasts— battered and fried to a crispy golden brown.

But last week I had fried chicken at Brau Haus in Oldenburg, Indiana, and it was an entirely new experience. 😋

Inside we found room after room of dining space, with a bar running parallel. It was pretty quiet when we arrived, but it picked up through lunch time.

Debating the menu amongst ourselves, we finally ordered:

🐖 Pork Schnitzel Dinner x 2 with Sauerkraut and Potato Pancakes
🐓 Whole Chicken
🥒 Hand Cut Pork Tenderloin with Pickle Fries

The schnitzel came on a bed of gravy topped with a boiled egg. It was fantastic. For my aunt it was the standout dish. The potato pancakes were small, thin, and crispy— absolutely delicious. The sauerkraut was literally the best I’ve ever had. Black pan scrapings gave it a nice charred accent.

The chicken was fried perfectly. The breading was generously salted and peppered, complimenting the juicy meat. Each bite was an explosion of flavor. For me, the chicken was the standout dish. It was the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten. 💥

I’ve tried many different breaded pork tenderloins over the years and this one would be counted near the top. With the same peppery essence, the breading was quite crunchy. The pork cutlet was twice the size of the bun and I topped it with mayo, lettuce, pickles, and tomato.

The pickle fries were an unexpected standout. Dipped in the included chipotle sauce they were sweet, salty, and crunchy. They’re technically a fruit, right? 🤷 😁

It was an excellent lunch.
