I’m writing this review as a German, who grew up on Austrian/German delis. This is a disappointing excuse for allegedly good German food. The sausages were underseasoned and mushy. The sauerkraut tastes like they kept adding heaps of sugar to it beyond what it needed. The apple strudel had more raisins than apples and less layers than it should. It was also burnt(?!?!) and pastry just wasn’t impressive. I will admit that the potatoes were good, but I feel they lack the character of the more common German fries that include bacon and onion :/. I will stick to making my German food at home and shipping my sausages from my hometown.

We adore Bronwyn. My wife has had a lot more connection to Bronwyn and is great friends with them, but I have to say, as impartially as possible, that this is our absolute favorite place to celebrate Oktoberfest each year. Is there anything better than raising a liter of Märzen in a hefty stein? Well, yes, if it's followed by a trio of sausages, schnitzel, spätzle, and all the soft pretzels, mustard, and accoutrements you can handle! The strudel was the best way to end the night along with a shot of pear schnapps. 5 stars across the board, for sure!!!!!

Wasn’t exactly certain what I was getting myself into as German food seemed like a fun adventure with uncertain outcome.
But wow was it great. Menu is fun and different than you might find in a restaurant that serves similar fare. Yet this place is a terrific series of dishes and a vacation for your palette.
Best items - the sausage trio, the burgers were great (try ordering them medium if you can), the sauerkraut, those roasted potatoes - the whole thing.
We came here for the first time and the food was amazing! We love the place and staff! Leticia did a great job explaining us the menu and she was extremely friendly! We definitely coming back!

Best German spot in town. 10/10 would drink a boot again.
Ok food but nothing exceptional. 20% automatic service charge kinda threw me off.

The food isn't exactly what you would eat in Germany (I used to live there), but it is the closest to it that you will find in Boston! Great food, friendly service, authentic decor. Schnitzel is huge so you might wanna share with a friend.

Went because we wanted pork trotter/hock/whatever and we like sauerkraut.
The meal ended up being much larger than i expected (they do say 2 lbs but im dumb and only know metric). Me and a friend shared it and basically had enough for dinner + lunch the next day for each of us.
The pork was cooked well and not too fatty -- but definitely had enough skin/fat like you expect for trotter/hock.
The sauerkraut was hiding under the pork and at first, its a bit strange because...its sour cabbage, but it ended up growing on me and by the end I was basically eating it by the forkful all by itself. It's a great pairing with fatty pork.
The potatoes were nice and crisp too but they started soaking up the juices and became less crispy over the course of the meal. The next day it was as you expect fried food to be the day after, so i recommend getting your share of potatoes early on.
I would recommend splitting the pork hock between 2+ people and possibly getting something else to split up the monotony of pork+sauerkraut+potato bites. We got a side of the red cabbage and that was good -- yes its more cabbage but i like cabbage and you will too.
Will come here again when I am feeling in the mood for something hearty and am quite hungry.

Lovely spot, but unfortunately the Wurst was not good, especially for the price. Would recommend for a pretzel and beer, but not otherwise
