    This place is more like a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The only thing preventing it from getting 5 stars was the wait time to get our food. Everything else was fantastic. I'm actually very glad we came here instead of the other places we had planned on going for lunch. When we went, it was not crowded and we got seated quickly. This place is fairly big, with plenty of tables and space. They also have a dedicated "beer garden" on one side of the restaurant. For food, i had to get jager schnitzel with spaetzle. My wife ended up getting duck. Before my food came out, they also brought out a salad. I don't know if it was part of the jager schnitzel entree or the duck... But the salad was amazing. Everything was pickled and very intense flavor. Both entrees were great and i also like the fact that they have a kid's menu that serves german food. (I was afraid the kids menu would have simple items like burger and or chicken tenders, but that's not the case here.) the lunch portions were perfectly sized.... granted its not "texas sized" but it did its job and i left satisfied. What i really like about the place is the interior decor. It looks like the owners brought back so many trinkets, souvenirs and photos from their trips to Germany and it makes it feel more authentic. This was actually one of the saving grace from waiting to get our food, i tried to look around to see all the different things on displayed. Service was great. I'll definitely be back!

    One of the most impressive beer list that I've seen. If you're looking for the German experience then definitely stop by but make reservations first, they definitely get busy during the fifa matches. Thankfully they were able to accommodate us.

    Came with a group of 12+ for a birthday party. It was my first time and it was a ton of fun! SO MUCH FOOD. We ate all the traditional Bavarian food and lots of beer. The birthday dessert was a 3-foot-long apple strudel made fresh for our table. AMAZING. The ambiance was infectious with all the traditional music. Schnitzel, Spätzle, Pretzels, Kraut, Wurst and Strudel! Oh My! I loved the bratwurst and sauer kraut. The potato pancake was not great (sadly) - I just thought it lacked flavor. Otherwise, I loved everything and so did everyone in my party.

    Decided we needed some German food and decided to give the Bavarian Grill a try. We stopped in and were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and did an excellent job throughout the meal. He was patient and answered all of our questions. We had the Schnitzel which was crisp and delicious. We also tried the Duck breast which was very well cooked and seasoned. The Fried Brie was excellent and a great addition to the meal. The rolls served were all outstanding and really enhanced the experience. Overall it was a great meal and we look forward to dining here again soon!

    Such a fun and unique find! We'd just drove into town (8+ hours) and were staying at a hotel across the parking lot. Had plans with friends for a late dinner but needed something to tide us over & this place was perfect. Super cute inside and very reminiscent of Hofbrau Haus in Munich. Tons of beer options on tap/draft. Staff was friendly. The menu had a lot of legit German items on it. If we lived here, we'd definitely go back.

    We came here early October 2025 to prepare for an upcoming Germany trip. Some colleagues of mine have come here repeatedly and raved about it. Our server very enthusiastically made some beer recommendations and we went with them. We tried a variety of light pilsners from different regions as well as a dark beer. For food, we split a sausage sampler to start. The platter came with five different sausages, mashed potatoes, and sauerkraut. Every item was delicious. We couldn't decide on a favorite sausage, they were all so good. We followed up with splitting a seasonal mushroom sauce schnitzel. This wasn't your typical Jagerschnitzel - this was something elevated. This was so good, and it was difficult not to inhale the whole thing. The time here was well spent, and the ambiance at the restaurant was pure Germany. Hopefully we can make it out here again soon. Come hungry and come early!

    The best German food in DFW but pricey for what you get. The food isn't fancy or gourmet. It's your typical staple German dishes; sausages, schnitzels, spatzel, cabbage, potatoes, etc. The portions are massive but you cannot share without getting hit with a split plate fee which is annoying. Only a few of our group of 12 could finish their food and many took home more than half of their entree. I ordered the ham hock which be warned takes a long time to prepare. The tender, salty pork combined with the crispy deep-fried skin was the ultimate companion for cold beer. I was expecting the ham hock to be huge since the schnitzels are so massive but it was quite normal size by American standards. The pan-fried potatoes with bacon were recommended by the server and did not disappoint. I chose the spatzel as my other side dish since I haven't had it since I was in Germany many years ago. It was fine but I'd choose another side like the potato pancakes next time. My entree along with a single 0.5L beer was $60 after tax + tip and that's where the problem lies. I would rate this place easily 4-stars if it wasn't so expensive. The kitschy interior is fun and for birthdays, they sing and ring little bells for you.

    What a treasure in North Dallas. Just off 75 in Plano. Complete with outdoor bier garten! The interior is just amazing. So much love and passion poured into this location, offering it up those of us who enter. Every detail seems hand selected. So many artifacts, decor, ambiance, flags, even the locomotive that encircles the interior. Service is top notch and in character. Oktoberfest is legit. Two pages of schnitzel! And the bread oh the bread. Do not pass it up. Plus the sweet cream butter. Soooo good. You must leave room for dessert. Or just come for dessert. Oh my this white cake with almond cream layer is the winner. You should take a whole one home. I cannot wait to come back.

    Celebrated Oktoberfest at Bavarian Grill in Plano, and it truly felt like a little slice of Bavaria right here in suburbia Texas. I had the Schwammer'l Schnitzel, a perfectly breaded pork cutlet topped with a rich wild mushroom ragout. It was an absolute delicious plate for mushroom lovers. Each bite was hearty, earthy, and very creamy. Paired it with a cold Weihenstephan beer, and it couldn't have been more fitting for the occasion. Brie made our dinner UYE more pleasurable by giving right recommendations for us first timers. We ended the evening with some of our table mates sharing their desserts. It was the perfect sweet finish to a wonderful night of Bavarian flavors, great company, and festive vibes. Prost!!

    I love this place!! It is ausgezeichnet (excellent)!! I have been here many times, but it has been several years - only because it isn't very close to home. Even I weren't eating I would love to just sit in the restaurant to feel as though I was in Germany. They have many excellent beers to try and even have a beer club to join! They have a Bavarian Grill Stein Hour between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday! The very sweet and helpful waitress brought us out a bread basket to start. The bread was nice and warm and yummy. It was a great compliment to my German beer! I happened to be there during Schnitzel Fest! Ja ja ja!! Ja to the schnitzel!! I had the stuffed schnitzel - the kase schnitzel that is pork with melted gruyere and Emmentaler cheeses! Lecker!! I had sauerkraut and spatzle for my sides! Unfortunately, I was too full for dessert! Maybe next time! They have accordion players performing many nights - check their events calendar on their website! I'll definitely be back! Next time in my dirndl! Oans, zwoa, drei, gsuffa!

    The ambiance was very warm with live music. We had the rahm schnitzel & the jaeger schnitzel. Both were good. I especially loved the mashed potatoes & vegetables. Spaetzel was not my fav. Service was fine & parking was ample. This place was very busy on a Friday. The menu prices were a bit higher than I expected.

    I don't know where to start. I think the staff are the absolute shining stars. Don't get me wrong, the food is amazing and the ambience of the restaurant is perfect, but the staff are incredible. If you really know German beers, this place is heaven. If you don't, they will very kindly and very casually help you make selections, which is a good thing given that their beer list runs over 100 items. It may run quite a bit longer than that. I visited twice in two weeks, and I will definitely return. I knew I was going to return shortly after walking in, so I got there beer stain, checklist, and I look forward to working my way through all the beers. While eating delicious food. In a really cool environment with a great vibe. And with just tremendous staff.

    Great authentic food and ambiance. The entire restaurant is decked out with German decor. There was a band playing music and like 5 tables there celebrating birthdays so they went around singing happy birthday to them. All the beers are from Germany to and they have every glass that corresponds to the beer. Multiple sizes too. My friends were drinking the massive liters. if you drink all of the beers on the menu, you get a mug and a plaque on the wall. If you're not a beer drinker though they do have a pretty good wine selection too. I give it 3 stars because the food is expensive and the portions are massive. Definitely one of those restaurants I wish would half the portions and lower the price because entrees are $25-$30+ each and could easily feed 2 to 3 people. I was so full and i barely made a dent in my schnitzel. Felt like such a waste. Would not recommend the potato pancakes. My friend ordered them and said they didn't taste like potato at all... more like onion bread. Which if you like that... great. But not so great when you're expecting potatoes.

    Are the schnitzels veal or pork?

    They have both!

    What has happened to your Facebook page??? Have y'all given up on it? Nothing since the summer? Also seems to be a downward trend in the reviews?

    ... agree not sure what has happened we used to frequent them prior to new location and had a big event we scheduled at the new location and it was a horrible experience - they did not even bother following up on a $500 bill horrible service - cold… 

    Where will your new location be?

    Look at the website, appears to be just north of present location

    Do you cater for... Little Elm Texas…

    Yes

The plate came with sauerkraut and potato salad and the Hungarian brat had a nice little bit of spice to it. The table had a delicious mustard and horseradish as well.

A coffee, mocha, and chocolate. Unfortunately, the coffee and mocha cakes were extremely disappointing. Both had a strong taste that reminded me of some type of cleaning product. I can't say for certain what caused it, but guessing maybe something from the display case, but the flavor was so HORRIBLE that I only managed two bites of each before throwing them away because I didn't feel comfortable eating any more in fear of getting sick. The coffee frosting also had an old, stale coffee flavor. The chocolate cake was better. It was good, but not great. The cake itself wasn't dry, but it wasn't super moist either. One detail I did appreciate was that each slice was wrapped with paper along the sides to help keep it fresh, and not drying out in th I would have gladly taken the cakes back, but I had purchased them to go and was already too far away by the time I tasted them. As someone who absolutely loves cake, I truly wanted this place to become a favorite. It was disappointing because I had such high hopes based on the reviews. While the atmosphere and customer service were wonderful, the cakes simply didn't meet my expectations.
