My daughter, husband and I have been awaiting the opening of this establishment. We were not able to get a reservation, but went anyway, knowing that we would have to wait. The hostess was friendly and accommodating. Our 1 hour wait time turned into 10 minutes! This establishment is clean, welcoming, and had an overall friendly feel. Service was fast, friendly, and we even got a bit of history on the bringing of this establishment to Tucson. Our food was, in a word...delicious! My husband's Goulosh was lukewarm. They replaced it with a new serving, and gave us free dessert for the inconvenience. My daughter, who is a Chef, stated that the flavors danced across her palate like a beautiful symphony! We will definitely be back! We enjoyed the excitement of soccer (there are several flat-screens, even on the patio), and can't wait for Octoberfest! read more

We made reservations to try the new Biergarten and we called to let them know that we might be a few minutes late and the associate who returned my call informed me of a two hour wait for food. Umm... what? Two hours? Yeah, no. Needless to say we will strike Biergarten from our list of restaurants to try. read more

Bulletpoint review for the 3-hour experience...and go! Came here to try the new westside hot spot. Made reservations for 4 via their website. *Food & Drink 4/5 -XX Pretzels - delicious! Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside served with obatzder, mustard, and butter - a must have! -Bienenstich (Beesting cake) - we shared this after the pretzel because we were told that our main course was going to take 45 minutes to arrive at our table because everything is made fresh. If you like a cake that's not super sugary sweet but sweetened with honey and vanilla, this will be your jam. The cake itself has a bread-y texture which was unique for my palette. -Ayinger pilsner. A nice, light beer against the hot weather. Was a little disappointed that there wasn't a Helles lager on the menu. And I get that it's Tucson, but Barrio Brewing? Really? -Biergartenplatte (XXL Sampler Plate). After much anticipation, we got to dig into the schnitzel, Fleischküchle (German meatballs), 3 types of brats, sauerkraut, spaetzle, mashed potatoes, and a cucumber salad. Great flavors. Was a little disappointed that the schnitzel wasn't beef veal, which I make in traditional style. The meatballs were probably my fave. The mushroom gravy is the way to go with the schnitzel. *Atmosphere & Ambiance 4/5 -One of the things that the owners boasted about this place was the absence of pretense. First of all, I can't think of a pretentious German restaurant that I've been to in the U.S. They're usually caricatures of what you'd expect for an American Oktoberfest, not the Old World feel of say Weinstube zur Traube. So I'd say, go ham with the German music, German greetings, a little personality. Blindfolded, I could have been anywhere. It was nice to see the one of the owners engaged with guests. *Service & Value 3/5 -It will take a minute for the staff to get their groove, especially with what seemed like some an inexperienced crew. Host cadence and the turn time need work. We were there for almost 3 hours which included a 1 hour wait on top of our reservation, an hour minimum for food to arrive, and another 45 minutes of European-paced dining. Excessive helicoptering was happening. We had nothing on our table and our server asked us if we were ok. Yeah, just waiting for our waters and beers, we're good. -The world is expensive and so is my time. I definitely want to come back when the hype settles. I don't know that I want to spend 3 hours of my life for my next meal. I just want my reservation to be honored next time. By then, I hope that the service will be competitive, but I will 100% return to try the Cordon Bleu and strudel. read more

Biergarten - Crowded AF - Wine Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This place is excellent despite the opening bugs to work out. Tucson is fortunate to have this restaurant. Shame on City of Tucson for not helping small businesses thrive. A German family sold their home in Germany to open a restaurant in Tucson. They ran into a TON of red tape. It's like the city wanted to kill small business and folks who drove value into the city's economy and culture. I've been in contact with the business for about a year waiting for them to open. The service needs to find its rhythm, but the folks are super gracious. I had the brat plate and it was excellent. I'm glad Tucson showed up and bought all the food they had prepared in a day. Definitely come here if you want German food. I'm excited to see what they will do in the future. read more

SO busy! Make sure to have a reservation. Since this is a new restaurant, everyone is excited. The hostess informed us they have reservations for the next 4 days. We came on opening day. We made a reservation in advance but still had to wait to be seated. There's no exact waiting area, we stood hovering around the door and tables. When we were sat, our waiter was friendly and had told us that the kitchen "worked out its kinks" this morning. We received our first beers in a decent amount of time but our food took over an hour and we had to ask our server for an update. The XXL pretzel and the beer-bratwurst sandwich was good. We probably had the wurst table because we were close to the front door and had a wall of waiting butts around us. Normally I wouldn't complain but I think we were often overlooked. For opening day, there was live music and cotton candy was being hand out! I loved that. There was also an aperol spritz brand merch party thing happening. The samples seemed to just be little cup tastes of just that but not a mix of prosecco or soda water. It was a little strange of a taster. But I did like the cute free fan! Overall, opening day was a little too chaotic. I'd wait a couple weeks or a month to come back. I like this new German restaurant & bar! I hope they're able to seat guests at their reservation time and serve drink/food in better time. I recommend an enforced experience time slot of how long a groups dining experience should be considering the popularity. Some restaurants practice this such as ones in Phoenix. This could smooth the time process for all guest and staff. The Biergarten could do really well in Tucson! Perhaps after a few more days things can slow down to where it's manageable and fun for everyone to enjoy. read more

My excitement for this restaurant to open has been big. My husband made reservations the moment they opened for reservations and we got 6pm Saturday night; day two after their opening date June 5th 2026. I was aware they ran out of food the opening day, since the owner Andre has posted updates on social media asking customers to be patient. We arrived early for our 6 o'clock reservation and had a hard time even checking in since a lot of people with no reservations were blocking the entrance and standing outside just waiting to check on wait times. I know somebody who is working behind the bar and so we checked in and waited by the bar and absorbed the atmosphere. There was live music and a lot of customers. When we were seated, we were at table for 4 and told the hostess that we were happy to have any other party of two sit with us because there were so many people who were walking ins getting told outside only available. There's inside seating with air-conditioning where and live music and there's an outside patio area that has a canvas covering. Walk-ins could be in the outside beer garden area without reservations when I arrived. It took a while for us to get water, and to get our order placed. Our food came out quickly. My husband got the pork schnitzel because they were out of quite a number of dishes by 6 o'clock, and so no chicken schnitzel was left. We ordered pretzel bites, which were fun and freshly made. I got the Rouladen which is a beef rollup/ stuffed with pickles and bacon with a tomato sauce on top served with breadballs; sauté stuffing balls. My food was excellent. I was fully aware before coming that it was going to be very busy and unlikely to have the full menu available, but I was really happy with what I ordered and I liked my food. They had a Jagermeister orange cocktail/spritzer that was refreshing. We sat with another couple who shared the beer garden platter, which had a little bit of everything, and they ordered the extra large pretzel that came with the special dipping sauce as we were just finishing our food and ordered the only dessert left. There was an announcement that there was no more food; they'd completely sold out of everything except for pretzels at 8pm. This was a first for me, to be at a restaurant that announces they're out of food. This morning I learned they sold out of certain varieties of beer also. Wow! As I was leaving I briefly chatted with another Tucson YELP community member, who sadly wasn't able to order any entrees. I'm not a beer drinker and yet every 30 minutes or so the musician was getting the crowd cheering together lifting their glasses. I would love to come back and try their other things soon. I think I'll sit at the bar, and enjoy the frenzy. I loved my food, and the chaos. If you plan on going realize they likely will run out of food by dinner time, get reservations , and enjoy the experience as it was good vibes the two and a half hours I was there. read more

We were there on their second Sunday open. Had a 3:00 reservation and were seated promptly. They were out of several items, we were able to sample their two German Hefeweizens. Both were refreshing. Husband had the traditional brut wurst which was served with potatoes and onions. The brat was delicious as were the potatoes! I had the jagersnitzel which was also very good. A little mix up actually got us pretzels before we could order which helped. All in all we were ther an hour. Staff is getting their groove and it's great to more tasty options s on the west side ! read more

Biergarten - Jagersnitzel - Wine Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Huge disappointment. The beautiful menu presented online was not available on 6/13 at 6:30pm. Instead they provide you with a Menu of the Day which has extremely limited menu items. Also there were no side dishes available except for French fries (they ran out of spatzle). The schnitzel sandwich was dry and tasteless. The bun was horrible. No gravy was available to help redeem the schnitzel either. My boyfriend ordered the Curry Wurst and it definitely was the worst. He couldn't even finish it and he usually eats everything. We got a piece of German cake for desert and although it looked nice, it was super dry and burnt on the bottom. It would be extremely difficult to try this place again, but I really hope they can turn things around with the food quality because the restaurant has a nice vibe. read more

I've been drooling over the Instagram page for weeks, and said I would hold off and not go opening weekend, well I couldn't resist - we stopped in right when they opened today and were the first ones in! We were seated and served right away, they only had the brat plate today, which I shared with my husband. Everything was divine!! The brats, and the gravy - wonderful flavors! I loved the red cabbage! It didn't have an overwhelming vinegar flavor! And my German beer came in a fabulous thick, heavy stein!! Our waiter was so nice, and had lived in Germany. They had a TV showing scenes from Germany, and German music playing. There's live music on the weekends! I brought a piece of beesting cake home for later. I can't wait to try it! The owner apologized for the limited menu today, we didn't care one bit, we were just so happy to taste it, and we live in the neighborhood, so we'll be back often! We're ecstatic to have this in our backyard! I'm glad to see how well received it is! read more

Having gone to Germany for School and University, I can assure you that ALL food is authentic! Great Presentation, Made from Scratch, Superior Quality (Bio Pork for delicious Schnitzel), Amazing Crew & Owners, TUCSON's first in-town German Restaurant in the 19 years I lived here. Warning, this restaurant has been hot, hot, hot, since it's opening. And as they don't use frozen outside products, at some time they may run out of this or that. But what they do not run out of is their dedication to the Real, Authentic, German Food ... and that is what really counts in my book. Try them out ... Biergarten Tucson will not disappoint the Connoisseur of German Food and 'Bier' ... read more

The environment and ambiance alone has us wanting to come back! The service is 100% amazing the staff all had smiles and handled this weekend with grace. Everyone is so friendly. Despite having only one dish due to selling out. It was 100% some of the best brautwarts and sauerkraut. And the cake was so delicious. The beer 10/10. Can't wait until we go again for more! read more

We came second opening day. We've waited months and expected some hiccups. However, we were seated within 5 mins of our reservation time. Drink orders were taken immediately and served quick for beers, kids soda and appetizer. We ordered XXL sampler platter with a kids schnitzel meal. The food came out fresh and hot in 30-40 mins which we expected. The atmosphere is appealing and welcoming. A Tucson gem that's been needed for years. We hope they continue to grow and stay alive, as we would hate to lose this treasure. Amazing food. Kid menu friendly. Go check them out read more

This new restaurant in Tucson has been overwhelmed by the support. Since it's new - there are a few glitches, but those will be worked out. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is outstanding - truly a scratch kitchen. For celiacs, they have a good variety of gluten-free dishes. Tucson has needed a good German restaurant and now, there is one. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is festive. read more

Wife and I sure was looking forward to the grand opening of Biergarten we were looking forward to enjoying a dish of Sauerbraten which we had dinner was good we did enjoy it . However $ 34.99 a Tucson price to high we come from N.Y. Reichenbach Hall a german resturant in Manhattan the same meal is $34.49. Do the owners of Biegaten think they are in N.Y. wife and I both feel for Tucson price is to high. read more

The food and service was excellent! The menu is very extensive and has something for everyone! read more

The servers cannot hear you to get the orders correct. The music is unbearably loud and you cannot even have a conversation with your table mates. We asked several times for them to lower the volume. The food was decent, but I would have expected German mustard to be a staple on the tables. They charged us $2.00 for 2 tablespoons of brown mustard. The Jagerschnitzel was way too thick to be traditional. Bratwurst was good. Braised cabbage was good. Unfortunately, since our part couldn't even hold a conversation, we probably won't be back. read more

Can't wait. We miss authentic German food. The menu looks great. About time Tucson has a real German gasthaus.

Might need to let the newness settle and management to figure some things out. I wish I could review the food, but we didn't get that far. We had a reservation today at 12pm. Arrived at 11:55am, and was told by the host that they filled all the tables and our wait would be 45 minutes to an hour, with two other reservations ahead of us, and four after us in line. They clearly don't know how to manage a reservation system. Maybe they shouldn't have one, for the expectations of the customers. As I looked around, very few tables actually had food, so maybe they're over their head right now. I'll try again in about 6 months, once the dust settles. I wish them the best. read more

The food was amazing, and the people were wonderful! Will definitely be going back again!

On Friday June 12th we had reservations at 7pm. When we arrived we were informed they ran out of food. How do you run out of food that early in the evening? We also heard this was not the first time this as happened. It will be a few months before we make drive across town again. We'll see if their still open then. read more

Well, I've been following them on Insta from start. We have German friends that we even showed the insta and menu. I made reservations for two. They put us on far back two top, next to bathrooms. We waited a least ten minutes for any greet or drink offer. The waiter was a middle aged guy in flannel, curt and cut me off repeatedly. We ordered two nice German beers (why I gave a one star). We then ordered another round as no food. I was taken aback on the overly priced entree items, $25++! We decided to try a couple sandwiches at $17 with no side! After near an hour and after trying to get anyone's attention we were told 15 more minutes for food. Our waiter told us all food orders were running late, curtly! We finally said this is enough and asked for beer bill. Our second beer half drank. It was an overall very annoying experience. It felt punitive there and I did like the strip mall location at all. The outdoor 'garden' is a tent with fans facing busy Silverbell. It was hot out and not sure how folks survived it. I won't be returning!! read more

My grandparents and parents were from Germany so I grew up on German food. This was the WORST German food I've ever had. Our food was Way overcooked and dry and tough like shoe leather. I will NEVER go back. read more

the wait for the food was insane you would think if they had this much space they would be able to keep up with it being full... With that being said customer service was pretty mid and so was the food. If your having a mid day and would like it to finish off mid and not end it on a good note come here for dinner read more

We had reservations for Monday night 6/8/26. When we arrived we were informed that they were not taking anyone else for dinner and that they "ran out of food". We drove 40 minutes from the southeast side of town only to be turned away despite having a reservation. This is completely unacceptable service and shows that they are not prepared to run a restaurant. Perhaps we will try again in six months, but I doubt they will still be in business. read more
