Quote : | "And, indeed, the food at Bavarian Brathaus is with few exceptions very good. The restaurant's namesake specialty bratwursts are superb, especially the traditional version. Made in-house with lean pork and classic seasonings, these transport me back to my year of study in Germany far more effectively than any number of cuckoo clocks or beer steins. I've sampled among the other bratwurst flavors, which include cheese, spinach, curry, garlic and an appropriately named "fire." All are tasty enough if you're inclined to try one for the novelty. But do yourself a favor and try the traditional bratwurst first.
Of course, you could always order a bratwurst sampler or, better yet, the Bürgermeister Platter, which includes your choice of two brats, excellent sauerkraut, mashed potatoes and locally baked German-style rolls. Bring a hearty appetite, though, because these are sizable sausages.

i figure i'll probably just buy it anyways. even if the food is just OK, it's still a hell of a deal 7/15/2010 8:42:38 AM |

It's good. Doesn't have the most diverse menu but as long as you want a brat or schnitzel its fine. Kind of pricey but you can also get frozen brats in something like 6 flavors. 7/15/2010 8:50:50 AM |

i've been twice, had brats both times. i've had the cheese, fire, original, and garlic. all were fantastic. their mustard is really good too. definitely worth checking out with the groupon.
i hope to purchase some brats for tailgating purposes during football. 7/15/2010 9:19:32 AM |

I haven't either. Been meaning to try it. I got married in Vegas and had my rehearsal dinner at the Hofbrauhaus in Vegas on a Friday night during Oktoberfest. Its amazing that I was able to wake up the next day 7/15/2010 10:28:31 AM |

one of my favorite restaurants in NYC was Heidelberg up in Yorkville on the UES. i haven't been to a german restaurant since, what's wrong with me?! 7/15/2010 10:31:25 AM |

After looking at the Bavarian Brathaus' menu, I went back and ordered another certificate.
They seem to be pretty pricey for dinner. I know that those certificate will be used for mostly steins though.
Fine print on the certificate says reservations required. just fyi

^^^apparently you don't need reservations, according to a semi-reliable source ( )

can you ask that same source whether they'll be strict on the "one coupon per table" thing?
will they consider a 3-top with 3 separate checks as 3 separate tables. that's what the restaurants I've worked at will do for ya 7/15/2010 11:12:07 AM |
wdprice3 BinaryBuffonary 45912 Posts user info edit post |
if you have 3 single guys it might not work so well, but if it's clearly 3 couples and each couple has a certificate with separate bills, it should do the trick. ultimately they just want to make sure you tip on the total bill before coupon so they don't get shafted. 7/15/2010 11:14:39 AM |

are they busy as hell or something? yeah there is absolutely no reason for a 30 second task to take that long 8/4/2010 8:07:54 AM |
Toms House All American 4464 Posts user info edit post |
No. Not busy. Seriously, the food is amazing. Very close to what I had in Munich. But the service is horrible. They've never brought my order to the table correctly. I substitute out mashed potatos for spaetzle (which is an option on the menu) and they always bring mashed potatoes. Its not that hard people. 8/4/2010 8:14:33 AM |
