Not sure if we hit an off night or what, but previously this had been our go to date night. It's Saturday night at 630pm, the patio is absolutely empty on beautiful night, the sausages were extremely dry, and the service was non existent despite it being dead. A true disappoint considering it was one of our favorite spots previously.

The food was amazing, but 10 kids running around hitting sorcer balls was not. One of the kids hit a ball in my face, and I waited 30+ minutes to talk to a manager who never arrived. The fried chicken is THE BEST IN TOWN, but paying $80+ for chicken and beer, but having literal dirt kicked in my face was not worth it. Definitely eat inside.

First off, the good stuff: the outdoor atmosphere was super chill, perfect for relaxing with a cold beer (which was actually quite good). The bathrooms? Solid – no complaints there. And the food? Well, the Schweinschnitzel, fries, potato salad, and grilled cabbage were the unexpected heroes of the meal—delicious, no doubt about it! But the sausage platter, bratwurst, and steak... let's just say they were an acquired taste, arriving a little more on the dry and charred side.

Now, the real adventure: we arrived at 6 o’clock, excited for some hearty German fare. After an hour of bonding in the waiting area (even though they weren’t super busy), we finally got seated. A little background music could’ve spiced up the atmosphere, but alas, we were left to our own conversation. The service? Imagine Oktoberfest in slow motion. We ordered nearly everything on the menu for the full experience, and while some dishes were worth the wait, others had us wondering if we’d accidentally signed up for a marathon.

As a final note, we ordered cheesecake to cap off the night... well, a cheesecake, as there was only one left after waiting 15 minutes. By that point, we couldn’t help but chuckle at the whole experience. For our party of 7, the bill came to about $400 with gratuity, portions were fairly average, and parking? Not the easiest. But hey, if you’ve got time, patience, and a good sense of humor, Von Bismarck might just be the place for you.

Foods always great! Service is hit or miss (never awful) The seasoned girls servers are always the best, sadly have not had them the last few visits. Outdoors patio music should be thought out better, heavy metal punk may have been the servers choice today, but killed the outdoor vibe for our table and a few others. I do love this place, so will be back.

Outstanding German restaurant with authentic food and delicious German beer. Very friendly and attentive waiter with recommendations that were on the money. Had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be back.

Great place. Good food and service. Not super expensive either, if you split a chicken schnitzel. Bring cash for a discount.

The food was great - Gem Salad, Spatzle with cheese, Rauchhanchen (awesome!), pork schnitzel, Wurst sampler, Kartoffelpuffer. All were delicious! The service was great - she helped pick wine that we really liked.

Loud atmosphere, very slow service (45 mins for one brat and one sando) despite only 5 people being in the restaurant when we ordered. Nice beer options but not worth the wait .

My family and I tried Von Bismarck last evening. What a delightful experience! We have driven by it for years and it was on our list to try. My adult grandson was in town and we wanted to try something new. The German food was authentic and delicious. We tried several of the main dish schnitzels, the cabbage potato cakes, and the plastered potatoes. The service was efficient and friendly. Our server answered our questions about the menu and was very helpful. We ate inside because it was quite windy last night. We look forward to going again and eating outside, which has the look and feel of an authentic Biergarten in Germany.
