Food is always amazing. Service is stellar. We love hitting up Alpine Haus! I would say hands down the best authentic German spot around these parts. Thanks for always filling our bellies & the good times!! read more

Ach Du lieber ya'll ! In New Braunfels with its German heritage, you would expect a great German restaurant. Alpine Haus delivers in spaten! For our first time, we had the brie appetizer to start. Wowzers! An entire brie wheel, covered in almonds with beautifully soft marbled bread. It would easily satisfy a party of four. I had an excellent rouladen (exactly like my German grandmother made!!) Delicious!! and hubby had a tasty chicken Rahm Schnitzel (creamy mushroom sauce with chicken) which was devine. Our server was wonderful, friendly and so helpful. Great German ambiance. Small authentic German restaurant. Come hungry, come ready for an awesome treat. read more

Alpine Haus Restaurant - German Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

We lived in south Germany for 3 years. As dedicated foodies we ate at every gasthous we could find, and we LOVE German food! When my daughter invited us to dine at this establishment we jumped at the chance. The inside was pleasant, but reservations are required. We sere seated on time and ordered right away. My first red flag was when I asked for a glass of my favorite non alcoholic drink, "spetzi" a combination of coke and orange juice or orange fanta. The waiter looked at me like I was nuts. He had never heard of it! Trust me... EVERYONE in Germany serves it! On to the main course: my son and I ordered the pork rahm schnitzel. I prefer my schnitzel to have a crispy coating. Their version is not crispy at all, but I must give credit for the tenderness of the dish. It was really good and tasty. But I also ordered Spetzle. The noodles were served in a bound up clump rather than loose. My wife and daughter ordered the cordon bleu. This was a major disappointment. Cordon bleu should be a breaded chicken breast stuffed with Swiss cheese, ham, and covered with hollandaise sauce. Their version was a breaded/fried chicken breast cutlet with a thin slice of deli ham and a slice of Swiss cheese. No sauce at all, and it was dry. Also, I was looking forward to Black Forest cake for desert. Sorry, but they were out of it. BFC is (in my opinion) the ultimate German desert. Not having any at 2:00 pm is pretty disappointing. Finally, I have to admit that when first ordering I couldn't help but notice the costs of the dishes, so I knew that the grand total would be epic. For four people and two glasses of beer in short round goblets, DEFINITELY not the German way of at least half a liter "ein halbe" We won't be back! read more

Authentic German food in New Braunfels! Just loved the small restaurant with parking in back. Good selection of appetizers and entrees. Cute interior. Service was friendly and attentive. We ordered the pretzel with fixings to start. The HÜHNERBRUST GESCHNETZELTES was very hearty and enough for a few meals. Red cabbage was delicious. Yummy chicken schnitzel and Spatzel. Biggest disappointment was no strudel or alpine delight... skipped the Black Forest cake... Overall, a great location for German food. read more

Lunch @ the Alpine. I ordered the Reuben sandwich, which came with complementary rye bread, and a soup or salad. I opted for the onion soup, and you could clearly see the thinly sliced onions--even after I'd already enjoyed half of it. It was delicious! The Reuben was incredibly filling, perfectly toasted, and full of flavor. The German potato salad featured hearty chunks of cooked potatoes and tasted absolutely divine. The service was excellent, loved the atmosphere and German music. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and left completely won over. The food is outstanding -- the kind that tastes like it was made with genuine care -- and the service matches it perfectly. The whole place has this warm, unhurried feeling, like being welcomed into a German grandmother's home and served her very best. read more

What a great find! We stopped by for a sit down dinner after spending the day at WurstFest. The wait was reasonable (maybe 20 minutes) and the little garden area out front was a pleasant place to wait. The building is an old house, with three rooms of tables of various sizes. The kitchen is the back part of the house. We split the dinner entree of Pork Weiner Schnitzel. We chose red cabbage, sauerkraut and fried potatoes. All very good! It also came with rye bread and either soup or salad. The portion was quite generous and the two of us had plenty to eat. The waitstaff and bussers were friendly and attentive. They were out of dessert by about 7pm, which probably speaks to how good it is. Maybe we'll get some next time. read more

The food was so terribly bland had no seasoning what so ever in the schnitzel And potatoes were also dry and no seasoning at all This has really gone down hill Not truly German the way it used to be read more

I think this may be the best schnitzel we've ever had. A very authentic, German restaurant recommended to us by some of the locals. As soon as we walked in, we are greeted with the smell of the food in the air, the staff, and a gentleman in lederhosen playing German songs on the accordion. The only way it could get more authentic is if they handed you a full bier mug and screamed "Prost" as you walked in lol. It looks like it was once someone's home that has since been renovated into a restaurant. Very cozy and homey. Baylee was our very attentive waitress. We never wanted for anything. My husband got a Duvel, and I got a weihenstephaner Hefeweizen, both delicious and refreshing. For food - The starter salad was nice and light, covered in a house made dill vinaigrette. Unique, light and refreshing. I dipped our bread in the extra dressing left in the bowl. Then the schnitzel! I got the Jäger Schnitzel and my Husband got the Ziguener Schnitzel. Mine was savory with a mushroom gravy sauce that had the right amount of thickness to it. Perfect for the potato dumplings to be soaked in. I could've done with less mushrooms on mine, personally. My husbands had a nice bell peppery flavor to it, not spicy at all. The spätzel was tasty too. We were so happy we chose this place, we don't have a lot of good German food out by us. Both our dishes came with sauerkraut as well. I'm not super into sauerkraut. But it had a yummy tang to it. It was perfect when used as a garnish for every bite you take. Kinda like how you put a bit of sliced ginger on your sushi roll before you eat it. Only bummer is that they didn't have their dessert menu available at the time we went. So if your interested in their dessert, maybe call before you go to make sure it's available! read more

We drive from Fort Worth several times a year to visit our trusted dentist Dr. Adam Gentry at Cole and Gentry in New Braunfels and make a little three day outing of it to visit restaurants in New Braunfels and San Antonio. Have looked at Alpine House before but something caught my eye this time and we decided to visit for lunch. So glad we did. This quaint, stone wall interior venue takes you back to a country inn in Europe. Such a welcoming and comfortable venue. Our server, Karin, was most pleasant, helpful, and attentive. We began with a bottle of a lovely German White wine to share and for me a Trappistes Rochefort beer which proved to be outstanding. Beer Advocate rates it 100. We decided to share the Reuben sandwich. It was accompanied by a potato and ham soup which proved to be absolutely delicious. Rich and savory. So enjoyable. The Reuben is everything a Reuben oughta be. Reuben perfection and their Reuben sauce here is easily the tastiest I've ever had on a Reuben. The side of German potato salad is packed with flavor and served very enjoyably at a cool, room temperature. I really enjoyed it at this temperature as compared with hot. This will surely be a regular destination for us on our trips to NB. We met a delightful (also retired couple) with whom we are planning to meet for lunch here on our visit this coming June. Prost y'all! read more

Amazing food and experience! I have never had a bad dish here. The smoked sausage is some of the best!

What an interesting German house in the New Braunfels area. The owners took an old home and turned it in to a German restaurant. It is so adorable, so comfy so much like being in your grandma's home. The service was absolutely wonderful. We went in, not knowing what we wanted, or even ever having real German food, and the waitress took her time, explained everything to us, gave us free samples and really made our dining experience worth it. The food that we ate was absolutely delicious. We had four people, and we all ordered a little something different so that we could taste everything on the menu. The portions were huge. The food was so tasty. I got to try red cabbage for the first time ever. And it did not disappoint. I highly recommend this little house in downtown New Braunfels read more

Everything was worth the drive to this NB staple. The Reuben and Potato Salad are so good. The Jager Schnitzel seemed as though it needed some salt or maybe it was the mushroom gravy. Either way, it was okay and red cabbage was decent. The ambiance, service (Karen) and Alpine Delight are worth the $101 bill we received. read more

My birthday dinner choice, and it did not disappoint. The Javier-rahm chicken schnitzel was perfectly cooked - golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sour cream & mushroom gravy was delicious on both the schnitzel and the spatzle. I always love the refreshing dill vinaigrette, because it is so light and flavorful, and the marble rye bread is so soft, fresh and flavorful. The German potato salad has a very light sauce on it, but the combination of bacon and pickles give it a unique flavor that I really like (it's not too mustardy like some German potato salad). My husband loves the crispy fried potatoes and the chicken cordon blue. Service is always friendly and professional and wait time for food delivery was very good. The German decor makes the experience feel even more authentic. read more

We used to love it. The last 2 times we ate there, the food was sub-par. Lack of flavor and over cooked Schnitzel.

The service was excellent! Very quite low key ambiance. The food was fabulous! You definitely got a very good size portion. Very excellent wine choices. It's on the pricey side. Great for a first date or anniversary. read more

Alpine Haus Restaurant - Jäger Schnitzel - German Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

We had a lovely lunch here while visiting New Braunfels with friends. This is a charming little house with multiple cozy dining rooms. The tables were nicely set, and our server was very attentive throughout the meal. The food was great! I had my favorite German dish - Rouladen - with red cabbage (Rotkraut) and Spätzle. The Rouladen was SO BIG I only managed to eat about 1/2 of it. I had never seen one so big (and my mother and grandmother cooked them often and I lived in Germany for many years!) Others had schnitzel and were very happy with their choices. read more

We decided to give this place a second try since my wife, who's from Germany, was craving authentic German food. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing again. My wife ordered the Sauerbraten, but it didn't taste authentic at all. I had the Schweinebraten, and it also didn't resemble what you'd find in Germany. On a positive note, the kids enjoyed their Schnitzel with Spätzle and gravy -- the schnitzel was actually very good. The potato soup and fried mushrooms were also tasty. We considered trying the Black Forest cake for dessert, but at $15 a slice, we decided to pass -- especially given how the rest of the meal tasted. Our server was very friendly and attentive, which we appreciated. However, the prices are extremely high for food that just doesn't deliver on authenticity. We had heard this was the most authentic German restaurant in the New Braunfels/San Antonio area, but unfortunately, it fell short -- the dishes looked appealing but didn't taste right. To make matters worse, we all ended up feeling sick after the meal. read more

Great food and beer and awesome atmosphere. Try the sausage appitizer with jackalobe and venison it was great.

Good German food in the Austin area is non-existent so three friends and I drove down to New Braunfels from Round Rock for lunch. Alpine Haus is a little old house that's seen better days. We were promptly seated at a large table which was fortunate because we planned on ordering lots of food! We started with a German Spaten Lager while we looked at the menu. The starter salad was fresh and crisp and very cold! I ordered the Zigeuner Schnitzel which is Pork or Chicken Schnitzel topped with a spicy paprika bell pepper and onion gravy. I added spaetzle and red cabbage. We also had Cordon Bleu Schnitzel which is Pork or Chicken cutlet layered with Black Forest ham and Swiss cheese and Jager-Rahm Schnitzel which is Pork or Chicken Schnitzel topped with mushroom and sour cream. The kitchen was a bit slow but it was worth the wait. All of the food was delicious and the service was great. We will be back. Highly recommended! read more

In town for work. Sent my Hubby on a 40 minute drive, to get food from here!!! I was craving good food, from my childhood days! Everyone was very nice, and the place is absolutely adorable. Anna assisted my Husband with his to go order, and she was wonderful. I wish I had felt better that night, because it sounds like I would have thoroughly enjoyed myself!!! We both had the schnitzel. It was just the way my Oma used to make it, once a week, growing up in Austria. Perfectly golden and crisp! Enjoyed the sauerkraut as well. Would love to come back, and try the Rindsgulasch!!! Will update this review if I get the chance. In the meantime, we highly recommend trying this outstanding restaurant! I have eaten German food in NY, HI, and CA. This is the top two, and the other one was my Uncle's!!! Guten Appetit... Tschüss! read more

My wife and I met friends for dinner at Alpine Haus while visiting New Braunfels a few weeks back. Right off the bat, we were charmed by Alpine Haus' cozy vibe and our waitstaff (Melanie?), but the food--y'all. The FOOD! My friend had the Sausage Platter with a jalapeño sausage and a beef and cheddar sausage. Her husband had the Sauerbraten. I could tell by their reactions they loved their food, and after being offered a bite, I can see why. Both sausages were juicy and flavorful. The wine-marinated beef of the Sauerbraten pretty much fell apart as I picked some off the plate and goodness gracious did it taste great. The juices made for a tender and delectable bite. My wife really loved her Schweinenbraten but I didn't manage to steal a bite from her. (Admittedly, I do have a serious cabbage allergy. She said she didn't want to endanger me since her pork came into contact with the sauerkraut, so... I guess I'll believe her!) I had the Jager Schnitzel because well... mushroom gravy! Lemme tell you, it did _not_ disappoint. The pork was perfectly fried and that mushroom gravy was so rich and decadent. I enjoyed the spätzle but those potatoes? Oof. Delicious! I'm swooning just remembering it. We concluded our dinner with a couple of light and airy Alpine Delights. It was the perfect finish to an incredible meal. Seriously, y'all. That meal was probably one of the best I've ever had. I cannot wait to return to New Braunfels so I can begin eating my way through the menu. Thank you, Alpine Haus for an incredible dining experience! --One very appreciative Fort Worthian. read more

Alpine Haus is located in a historical registered home. Much of the original brick is beautifully preserved in the dining areas. Along with artifacts from Germany, the mood is immersive in Germany culture. The wait staff is fantastic: friendly, intelligent, and quick on their feet. Soup of the day was a creamy mushroom rich with cream and sherry. The house salad dressing was a mustard dill vinaigrette that was both sweet and tangy. Such a great dressing for a crisp green salad. For our main course, there was Jagaer schnitzel, rahm schnitzel, and beef rondelet. We all opted for spatzel. If there was one small suggestion, it would be that salt was lacking. However, that's an easy fix. This was a filling and affordable meal that I highly recommend. read more

Took a side trip to New Braunfels! I have been to the "Old" Braunfels in Germany so I heard a colony was stablished here in Texas back in the 1840's. Amazing place! The place has an old Braunfels feel. Ambiance is somber and old-school. They play recorded music in the back ground. 1) Food was good. Ordered the Sausage Sampler. Sausages were delicious! 2) Had a Hefeweizen beer (or two). No draft beer (sat) only bottled. It should be too difficult to have a few draft beers available but I guess those don't sale as much. 3) Server was friendly and attentive. 4) Had a cup of the mushrooms soup. Very good. Overall, this place is nice. I would return in a few visit if I happen to be in the area again. The food menu has a lot of items but not many that caught my eyes. I was hoping to find my most favorite dish the Schweinshaxe or roughly translated it is called the "Pig Knuckle" but it was not meant to be. If you are in the area I recommend you give them a try. Cheers! read more

It's been several years since I've visited this terrific New Braunfels restaurant. I can't wait to go back.

Highest Recommendation. read more

This is a small older restaurant with minimal parking in the back. It is renovated and you can see that it was a house that was converted to a restaurant. We ordered pretzels, sausages, french fries, schnitzel and a goulash. The potato balls and schnitzel were delicious! The portions aren't too big. This restaurant is on the pricier side for German food. They charge extra if you share your plate with another person and I didn't like that idea. Overall, it was good but I didn't like the portion sizes and the price and the extra charge on sharing food. read more

Having lived in Europe for a period and coming from a family with strong Germanic roots I can't say enough about the unparalleled quality of our experience at Alpine Haus. It was an absolute delete from the exceptional selection of paired beers to the helpful service staff to the authentic (NOT KITCHY) ambiance that feels like a Bavarian essenhaus to the exceptional food. We will be back often and I strongly encourage anyone with the opportunity to do the same. read more

The people are great. Made our lunch and adventure. The venue couldn't be any more charming. The salad was the first salad in years that didn't ore me. The German chef customized our Saurbraten to the more tangy southern German recipe versus the sweeter northern German recipe. It was an inspired meal. Perfect spatzel. Red cabbage with a hint of nutmeg. The marbled rye hit the perfect note. And my husband really liked the imported German beers. This is my death row meal. I will be returning as soon as possible. read more

My son and daughter-in-law suggested this place for dinner so we figured 'why not'. Glad we went. The restaurant itself is in a historic house from the 1800s. From the outside you may wonder where they could seat people but once inside it opens up. We had reservations, which was good because it was a Saturday night and it was packed. We decided to try the sausage sampler and the soft pretzel for appetizers. Both were delicious. The sausage sample had three types of sausages with 5 pieces of each and it came with German mustard and cheese sauce. All of the sausage types were really very tasty! The pretzel was what the name implies - a very large soft pretzel with German mustard and cheese sauce. It was also very good! For entree's we had the Jager Schnitzel which is pork schnitzel with brown mushroom gravy and Rinder Rouladen, which is thin steak stuffed with pickles, onion, bacon and German mustard with brown gravy on top. Both of these items were extremely good - well prepared and flavorful. The Rouladen could easily feed two and perhaps even three! The portions were very generous, which one often only finds where flavor lacks and they are trying to make up for it with size - here, size and flavor both!! We all had the sauerkraut which was a very traditional flavored kraut and very tasty. The potato dumplings are simply amazing and you must get them! The fried potatoes were very good as well - nothing unique but prepared well. Their salads were good - nothing amazing but good. I loved the potato salad but not everyone did at the table. It is not a 'traditional' German potato salad - it is cold (as opposed to being heated) and it does have large pieces of pickle in it - not what I expected, but I really liked it. For dessert we shared an order of apple strudel and an order of the Alpine Delight (which is pecan crust pie filled with chocolate and topped with whipped cream). Both were very good! I would absolutely go back to this place. Great food, generous portions, good atmosphere and very friendly servers! If you're in New Braunfels - check this place out! read more

While making plans to stay for a week in New Braunfels, I was particularly interested in eating at the Alpine Haus restaurant there. Finding good German food can be difficult and based on the Yelp ratings I saw, this looked to be a real winner. Sadly, my experience did not reflect my hopes and both I and my wife were really disappointed with our meals. I did call to make a dinner reservation as I had read that often it is quite busy. We found out that there was no need to have reserved a spot that night as there were many tables open. We actually had a bit of trouble finding the venue which is set back a bit from the street with a dimly lit sign. Upon entering we were quickly seated. There were several German and Belgian beers to choose from which hit the spot. We ordered our dinners, I, the rouladen and spaetzle with a side of split pea soup and my wife, a Weiner Schnitzel and potato dumplings with a salad on the side. Both dinners included a small portion of red cabbage on the plate. Our dinners came out from the kitchen without our having first been offered our soup and salad. Our server apologized for her oversight as we pointed out the missed delivery and brought out both to accompany our meal. We were both unpleased with nearly everything on our plates. My wife had upgraded to veal for her schnitzel which bumped the cost up a bit. But with veal so hard to find in the USA anymore; she decided to treat herself. The breading veal were unremarkable and tasted kind of old, even with a lemon squeezed on the dish. The potato dumplings were so dense and unappetizing that she left them uneaten. And the red cabbage was overcooked, mushy and flavorless. To top it off, the "salad" was made up of two leaves of wilted green and red lettuce, which seemed to be almost frozen, topped with an unremarkable dressing. As for my rouladen, when served, it looked like a big brown sock stuffed with a flavorless mass onions and a couple of what may have been mushy pickles. This was inside of a couple of layers of overcooked, grainy and flavorless meat that did not appear to be top round, which is the preferred cut to make rouladen. Maybe they just cut off slices of sauerbraten to make it and called it good. Not the same thing! The gravy that covered it was weak and made with corn starch and the spaetzle didn't taste good in it as it had no rich flavor at all. And to top it off, the runny split pea soup I was served tasted like an old dish towel had been soaked in water to make the broth. A couple small bits of ham which didn't have any flavor couldn't offset its distastefulness. So disappointing to say the least. At least the beers were good. And thankfully we had one great German dinner in Fredericksburg that salvaged our Deutsch experience while in Texas. I'd suggest avoiding the Alpine Haus if you are looking for authentic German food with its typically great rich flavors. read more

Top 2 best meals my husband and I have ever had. If you love German food don't go anywhere else. My husband had the chicken cordon blue (German Style). I had Beef Goulash. It was traditional more like a stew (than what they call gravy.) It tasted so much like my grandma use to make I actually teared up. I don't think I've ever cried over food. Chunks of beef so tender my fork could barely pick them up without them falling apart. The red cabbage was incredible, perfect pairing. read more
