The only time we ate from here was in June 2020. It was during the Covid-19 craziness. We ordered through Door Dash. We had told ourselves we would go eat in. That's what we did today. The atmosphere was AMAZING! So was the food and the service!!!WE WILL BE BACK!

Schnitzel Wiener Art! I ate every last bite and going back soon! Server was very helpful explaining, patient with questions, extremely efficient and fast.

Dunkel salmon is probably the best item on the menu. Always excellent.
I had some trepidation trying out the Columbus Hofbräuhaus as I grew up going to the original one in Munich and I'm from Bavaria. The Gemütlichkeit (atmosphere) factor is a 10/10. Service is wonderful too. It feels like the Stuben in Munich (upstairs where the locals eat) and the beer is good. But the food is just disappointing. Bavarian staples are missing: Weißwurst, Schweinsbraten, Krustenbraten. The German food they have is Americanized and not authentic at all. They only have Schnitzel Wiener Art (not made from veal) and the preparation of it isn't correct either as it's not thin and not pan fried so the breading is crispy and slightly lifting up from the meat. The Brezn are ok but American soft ones. Munich ones have crispy legs with a soft top. Don't get me started on the Spätzle which were just odd and the potato salad is not authentic either. The Schwarzwälderkirschkuchen is way too sweet and I couldn't taste the liquor. Wouldn't be served with chocolate sauce either. Will I come back? Maybe if I crave some German atmosphere but I probably would just go to Gemüt in old town east where the food is much more authentic and the atmosphere is equally nice.

We have eaten at the one in Cincy and in Vegas and both were far superior to Columbus location. The food was not good, kraut was inedible mush. Don’t know how this location missed the mark that much but it did. When in C-bus and wanting German, go to Schmidt’s instead, it is far better and less expensive. Want a good Hofbrauhaus, go to Cincy.
