The food here was quite a mix. They have some very German dishes, but they also know their audience and have quite a few American or Americanized selections. I ended up ordering a club sandwich on pretzel bread and it was hands down one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. That said, the accompanying salad and soup were entirely mediocre. The restaurant was nearly empty so the service was good.

We loved the delicious, authentic German food and beer at Hofbrauhaus in Pittsburgh! Our waitress, Izzy, was cheerful and helpful. She gave great recommendations for us. The food came out quickly. What a treat to eat here!Kid-friendliness: Great family environment

I'm not into German foods, but this place is very nice and the service was great. The drinks were good, and the food was good. I'm vegan, so I had to cheat and have the pretzel and the Tiramisu Cream Puff, which was lovely, light, and delightful! They have 2 levels of outdoor seating at the right near the water, so it was peaceful.

Love this place. I've been here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. The staff is really friendly, the bartenders make good drinks, and the food is delicious. Because I have a bad back, the hard wooden seats are my least favorite part, but the ambiance and decor really make for a festive environment.Dietary restrictions: One of my party is gluten intolerant. No problems with the Wurstplatte or the Bavarian Jaegerschnitzel.
I was assigned with my family to the Bonn, American Embassy and the food compared then to now is still the same amazing cuisine. Even the beer was amazing. Prices are very reasonable. If ever near them in Pittsburgh give them a try.Parking: It was hard to find a spot. I had to park three blocks away.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair accessible entry point.
Pretzel and wursts are goodThe chicken overcooked but tasty sauceThe stuffed cabbage wasn't good AND it made 2 of us very sickThe deserts r very goodNot a beer drinker so no comment on that.Fun atmosphere

My family and I went to Hofbrauhaus, once more to be in the Keg Tapping night, perhaps our 23rd one; in addition, we were celebrating my wife's US Naturalization, it couldn't be better, all musicians of the Band, the Manager, the waitresses, and even several other Customers around, celebrated with us. A BIG thanks for being such a wonderful family and allow us to be part of it! PROST!!!! Beer and food were so Good.P.S. Looking where to add more stars...

The food has never disappointed a single person I've ever taken here, including people who've lived in Germany and picky eaters.On Thursday they have an accordion player and the place gets LIVELY in a fun way.The beer is fantastic and you can add flavors to it that make it even more interesting if that's your thing.Overall one of the best spots in Pittsburgh, even if it is a little pricier.Parking: Parking is not available adjacent to the building but street parking and garages are only a small block away.
Bier was so-so. Authentic German food items removed from the menu and American items put on in their stead. Band too loud, stupid contests that are American in nature. Nothing like the Hofbrauhaus in Munich I went to in '96. Way too Americanized.Parking: Parking way too expensive.
