Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was perfect. I had Erlander Sauerbraten and the four of us tried many other dishes including desserts and dunkles Bier (best beer I’ve ever had).
Food, service, atmosphere, cleanliness …. alles wunderbar.
Thanks to Bo, our waiter and to the owner/chef, Herr Rath.
Truly a delicious and delightful experience.
If we lived closer, we would dine there at least twice a week.
Vielen Dank. 👍👍👍

A gem of a restaurant! Delicious, plentiful food, great service, Rayna was the best! It will be a definite stop next trip to the Lake George area!

I’ve been to Spargel on Nine about 8 times now and it is hands-down the most authentic German restaurant I’ve been to. The food is rich, comforting, and full of tradition.
The highlight of the last two visits? The chanterelle mushroom soup—easily one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted. Creamy, seasoned to perfection and unforgettable.
Warm atmosphere, great service—this place is an absolute gem!

10 out of 10! Not only was the food and beer delicious, but the owner took the time to explain menu items and the different flavors each of them have. Authentic food at it's finest!

First time in, this place was amazing. From being greeted when we walked in the door to being taken care of at our table. The owner was gracious to chat for a few. The food was wonderful and flavorful. Looking forward to returning.

I can't say enough good things about this great restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was casual and comfortable. The service was phenomenal—the staff were incredibly attentive and went out of their way to make us feel appreciated as first-time customers.
The food is nothing short of amazing. The menu is extensive, offering authentic and hearty dishes that are absolutely delicious. The sauerbraten was hands down the best I've ever had—so tender and cooked to perfection, and as much can be said about the potato pancakes. And the German beer selection was the perfect pairing for our meal.
We ended our evening with a perfect dessert that capped off a relaxed and satisfying dining experience. I left feeling content and full, already excited to come back and explore more of the menu. If you haven't visited yet, you have to try Spargel on Nine! This was easily the best meal I've had at a restaurant in a LONG time. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for first-class food and exceptional service!

Place was nice inside, waitress was new and did not know much about the food when we asked questions. Food was bland, no flavor which is confusing to me. Very pricey for food with no taste.
The pretzel sticks with hot honey butter were fantastic. I also enjoyed the brie appetizer with lingonberry. The schweine haxe was delicious. Great flavors.

From 9/26/2024 Located on the former site of The Outback restaurant, Spargel on Nine serves authentic German food, not the kind comically envisioned by what Americans think German food is. No lederhosen, no um-pah-pah music, no chicken dance here. The sans serif font on the sign was an indication that this would be food taken seriously. “A Pure German Restaurant” this certainly was. (Spargel refers to white asparagus, a bit of an obsession for Germans)
I’m no foodie, but I got a bit excited here. I ordered what was probably their signature beer, Vitus. I'm usually not a big fan of wheat beers, but this did not disappoint. All their beer comes from the worlds oldest brewery, Weihenstephan, founded in 1040. Next was a pretzel treat, which came with butter and spicy honey. Very simple, it was surprisingly good. Don't expect any ordinary salad; this one was made up of any number of fermented vegetables. If you love sauerkraut, red cabbage, etc. you will go gaga for this. For my main course, I went with the standard sauerbraten, which came with red cabbage and potato dumpling. It is prepared with Angus beef, and red cabbage made from scratch. Meat was tender as could be. Delicious. My wife had the beef brisket, served in a horseradish sauce, butter potatoes, and lingonberries (The salad came with this entree). Again, delicious.
Dessert was the only thing sub-par, but only in a minor way. The Creme Brûlée was tasty but a bit runny.
Owner/Chef Christian Rath and wife Courtney made the rounds with some of the patrons to make sure all was well. Service was suitably prompt, server was knowledgeable and friendly. Pricing was in line with the quality of the meal. A great article detailing Spargel on Nine and its owner can be found in The Glens Falls Chronicle.
