On 10-2-2024 my gf and I visited here in the morning. We had coffee/Kahlua and had a great time with the staff. We learned the manager was Jason and questioned about a pumpkin beer. The staff said he hadn’t tapped it yet. So we joked and said that we’d be back for lunch in 2 hours and have him change his mind. Upon returning he did just that. We got 2 beers with pumpkin and rimmed glasses. The whole experience was enough that we said we would return.
Now…. On 10-23-2024 myself and a buddy stopped and I believe Nathan was the server. I was not impressed with him at all. He argued on every experience I asked about. He said he didn’t know about the pumpkin beer and had no idea what I was talking about with a rimmed glass and they couldn’t do that. I asked if Jason was the manager and he confirmed. I told him I was there 3 weeks prior and the staff then took care of us so I knew it was possible. I explained they used a Pilsner glass to help with the rim and it was a sugar/cinnamon mix used on the rim of the glass. When he brought it out he had only used sugar and the rim was only half done. I also asked about a mustard for the pretzels we ordered and it was not brought out with the pretzels. My suggestion to him is if a customer says that they have been there before and discusses something they’ve had …. Maybe go ask someone before you make a customer feel uncomfortable and irritated for the fact I know it was able to be done. This sets the tone for the rest of the experience and I will return but will ask for a different server if he comes to my table.
Now, the positive to this though, go eat there! The food is excellent! I have been there many times and never had a bad meal. I normally have excellent service as well. Great outside seating area… of course weather permitting! To Jason… thanks for opening the pumpkin back on Oct. 2! We were totally excited that you did!! And also to the staff that helped us in the morning, a female, and then our server, male, that took great care of us then.

The restaurant itself is huge and sprawling, there is plenty of space! Sit outside if you can. The food is mediocre at best, but the vibes and atmosphere are pretty good. Don’t get the fries- they aren’t very good.

Very good German Bavarian food and drinks. A nice variety of traditional dishes with a vast selection of draft beers to wash down down the delicious food. Definitely worth trying if you’re in the Columbus area plus they have entertainment!

My daughters surprised me with a retirement party. The waitress that took care of our party was wonderful. We loved the cold beer and all loved the food. Atmosphere was outstanding. Not the first time for all of. One of favorite spots. Thank you all for everything you did to make it a great way to send me into retirement!

The food and service was good. It's such a good place to drink as much beer as I wanted while I was staying in the Courtyard OSU hotel just next door.

Just be aware the noise level of the indoor seatings was very very loud. For those who doesn't like noisy place, you may need to sit outdoor seating.

Stopped in for dinner before our concert on a Friday night, and it was just starting to get busy. We were seated at a long table near the stage where a couple were playing live music in celebration of Oktoberfest.
We shared the Yard sample platter to try a bit of everything and shared the Munich Sampler entree for the combo of schnitzel and wurst. The drinks and food were delicious, and we were sure to take two cream puffs to go for later.
We'll definitely be back again!

The beer is absolutely delicious. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. I got the hefe weizen as well as an oktoberfest, and my husband got their original lager. We also got some pretzels to share and loved every bit. Definitely order an extra biercheese with your pretzels, though. They come with one and it's just not enough. Great place! So happy we found it.
