German Restaurants near Vancouver, WA

“The menu options were great and we enjoyed our food. The greeter and our waitress were especially friendly and helpful. However, the young lady who showed us to our table looked out of place. Everyone other employee was dressed in attire you would see at Oktoberfest as you would expect in a German restaurant. She was in a very casual oversized sloppy looking sweatshirt or sweater. And although I use a walker, she led my husband quickly to our table, chatted with him while waiting for me to catch up. Then she walked away without even waiting for me to actually get to the table or speaking to me at all - VERY RUDE!! Our waitress, server, greeter and the food more than made up for the bad taste she left in my mouth, thank goodness.“

“This was our first time really trying German food, and it absolutely hit! The food was amazing and the service was just as great. Everything is made from scratch, and the owner told us he runs the place solo, which made it even more impressive. You can really taste the care and effort that goes into the food. Such a great experience overall—we’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Well, there is just nothing to warm your soul after a long work week than an evening at Prost. Sharing a lovely pretzel and a pint of beer you havent tried before because you told the sweet gal behind the bar you didnt know what you wanted but something warm and nutty sounded nice, but best of all the kind and inviting atmosphere created not only by the warmth of the wood fixtures and space heaters but mostly by the staff and lovely people who are drawn to the space.

PSA: Yes you will come across the ocassional obnoxious table of 30 something white women who leave all their trash and trays with no regard of how to behave in public, this will not be frequent. If you can shame through politely reminding them they forgot half a burrito and should clean up their table, the onlookers will cheer as if you preserve the sanctity of the patio.

A good time for all is to be had (i write as I sip Hofbräu wearing a smug smile)“

“My sister in law has been trying to go to Stammtisch with her for years. We went on Sunday and had a lovely time.

The atmosphere feels like a proper pub. There is brick and wood and dark panels. All of the tap handles are fun to see.

There is some outdoor seating. The restaurant is set up in an L shape, so you don’t feel surrounded by people. It is cozy.

We set at the bar.

I went with the Andrechs’ Doppelbock. It was rich and full flavored. I did not need more than one.

I had a taste of all three doppelbocks on tap. There was no bad choice.

The Lentil Soup will bring me back.

The clams were everything you could want.

I will be back.“

“We love Urban German for its authentic cooking (wish pork knuckle was an option year round!) and German beers. Our whole family loves it! The youngest is especially giddy when she gets an old mustard mug for her root beer, too!“

“So glad we found this restaurant, It is very small and parking is dicey but well worth it. The food is delicious and the wait staff is welcoming and friendly. The owner and chef came out to see how we enjoyed our meal. You must try to carmal custard. Will come again!“

“This place is awesome. Great food and great service. Go try it out.“

“Auf unserem Road Trip haben wir natürlich auch einen Besuch beim PDX Dönerländ gemacht. Und wir können dies nur weiter empfehlen. Der Döner war super lecker und die Besitzer total freundlich und haben sich auch Zeit für einen Klönschnack mit uns genommen.“

“friendly and helpful staff. Food and espresso has always been great everytime I have been in.“

“Such a beautiful experience dining here. The atmosphere was incredibly cozy and welcoming, the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable settling into. Every dish was outstanding, thoughtful, flavorful, and clearly made with so much care. What truly elevated the evening was the team. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely, creating an experience that felt both special and effortless. Already looking forward to coming back.“

“Excellent authentic German food and drinks. Can't go there without getting a Leberkässemmel (roll with hot Leberkäse and mustard) for the road!“
