Stumbled in to this place and was impressed. German food and beer, who could ask for anything better! Nice staff, better than average food.

FIVE .... for exactly what it is . A locals neighborhood dive bar . We had fun !!! Played bingo , watched Dallas win big over the deadskins , watched the Wild beat the knights . Participated in my first Meat raffle . Waitress was nice and efficient and explained all that was going on . Sliders were good with crispy crinkle fries . I would go back . read more

Not the cleanest place, may be because of its age. Went after golf and they gave a free beer for that and that's cool. Went on a Saturday and the TVs were sufficient for the wild game and they have a nice porterhouse special. The special wasn't too special but was ok. Would try other menu items if in the area. There is plenty of character here too. read more

I have found that you cant go wrong with the 'Stube. The appetizers are great and the German food is delicious. Great wait staff and bar. Love it! Plenty of TV's to watch the game on as well. read more

I seriously question the sanitation practices here. Watched a waitress with creepy long nails wipe down a table, then put her hands in the open potato chip container without washing them first. Doesn't look like she washes or combs her hair either. One of the cooks had a long scraggly beard, another cook was grilling with one hand and talking on his phone with the other. Many of the waitresses don't look as though they care about their appearance, dress, or personal hygiene. This has become a tired, run-down establishment and the food just isn't as good as it used to be. read more

We rolled in after a long day on the motorcycle. A beer and brat sounded good and I've always wanted to try this place. Best damn sauerkraut I've ever tasted. It was sour! And who knew that burgers were half price on Mondays! I wish I'd have gone for the Hamm's for a buck fifty instead of the soapy Blue Moon for four and a half though. Who has Hamm's on tap! Wow!!!! We will be back just for that. Loved the slightly outdated supperclub feel and the bartender was friendly too. read more

I love this place. Typical midwestern dive. Low-key, good service, great place to grab a beer and some German-American food. Brats are good.

Went in for the sunday breakfast buffet and couldn't have been more disgusted - the server had super long finger nails and was witnessed scraping plates and than delivered our omlets without washing her hands - didn't see her wash her hands at all and she was also decorating for christmas - the cook staff didn't have hats or hairnets on and all 3 had beards - 1 had a long scraggly one - watched them scratch their heads - rub their faces - did not see any of them wash their hands. The buffet had a nice set up with some good options and although we got there a half hour before it ended, it could have been stocked better. I will never go back here - have had dinner there a couple times and was never really impressed with the food so after witnessing the health issues its definitely not worth ever going back to. read more

small bar w/booths and tables atmosphere. Cheap steaks and toast that aren't too bad. Great if you are looking for a light dinner.

In our group we had a combo mix of burgers and sandwiches. My Bacon black and blue burger was cooked perfectly with thick sliced bacon and very chunky blue cheese sauce. The prime rib sandwich was the hands down winner, though. A HUGE slab of prime rib topped a nice white roll. The root beer was served in icy mugs and was a hit with everybody. read more

The food at this location is everything that I expected. The German platter is a good choice. The service was spot on. The only reason I didn't give it a five star is that your not sure where to sit and all wait staff is so busy you have to go to the bar and ask if you need to wait for someone to seat you. It's open seating by the way. read more

Worst Sunday buffet ever. I wouldn't go back if you paid for it. Food supply ran out and waited 15 minutes to get it. Waitress had many other duties so poor waitressing. Food was good to over cooked. read more

I have been coming here since 1968 with my parents. The food is consistently excellent and the staff friendly. I recommend their ruebin sandwich. I try to make an excuse to stop whenever I am in town. read more

The 'Stube is another long time Hastings bar and eatery. We have been enjoying the "Heart Steak" since the '70's. Good atmosphere, food, service and bar. Worth a stop. Of all the Bier Stubes, Hastings is by far the best. We will keep going. read more

Went there and waited 10 minutes before seeing any waitstaff. Cheese bread consisted of buttered bread with powered cheese on it. Their "signature" Ruben consisted of decent bread but the corned beef was square and had 5 pieces stacked in the middle with a little bit of cheese and saurkraut....Carl Budding meat possibly. Sorry but I think a corned beef sandwich should consist of REAL corned beef. Wife had the heart steak....it was flavorless. She also order "caramelized " onions with the steak. What she got was boiled onions, no brown on them at all. We asked the waitress about it and we were told that the onions are grilled in the morning and put in a warming pan. My guess is her portion was under water' based on the amount of water on her plate. We won't be back. read more

We've been to Bierstube a few times over the years, and have always enjoyed going there for a lunchtime Reuben. It's changed though, it seems sad and neglected. We both ordered the "signature" reuben because we seemed to remember them being made with real corned beef. The sandwiches we received were made from thick sliced deli corned beef, and though each slice had grill marks, they were quite obviously microwaved.....thus rubbery, grissley and lacked corned beef flaver. According to the menu, the Reuben comes with kettle chips. We decided to order a "full" order of onion rings for $7 on the appetizer menu to share. They must have decided since we ordered the onion rings, we didn't need the chips because they weren't included with the sandwich. We did receive a basket of onion rings that we paid the extra $7 for........ No joke, there were 7 onion rings in the basket. That's $1 per ring!! Really?? In addition to the food issues, we were subjected to the bartender and the server badmouthing another server who was not working that day. Pet peeve of mine....... Do not b**** and moan about other employees or managers when customers are present, and even more important, don't repeatedly shout out the f-bomb and other profanities in front of customers. We unfortunately won't be back to the Hastings Bierstube. We suggest fresh management and some employee engagement techniques. read more

Had the lunch special beef stroganoff and it was tasty. Have been told they host UFC fight parties but haven't had a chance to go to one.

Great burgers, and awesome Sunday morning brunch buffet at a good price! Small hometown feel all around inside. Overall great experience!

Pretty sad. Left us standing at the door without being seated. If you don't want German sauerkraut or steak options are extremely limited. I had half a sandwich and coleslaw - the coleslaw is just bare cabbage. My father in law did like his steak though. read more

Was in Hastings last night and went to the Bierstube for dinner. This place needs a good remodel. The carpet has not been cleaned or replaced for at least 10 years, the booth seats were ripped and worn out, the overall appearance was terrible. My wife said as we left, we will not eat here again!! read more

Don't waste your money. Not only did we have to wait, we had to ask at the bar if they had a wait staff! Once we were finally served and got the food we realized we should have left instead of making the effort. Food was terrible and overpriced. Got the feeling if they didn't know you they didn't care. Will never go back. read more

the origanal bierstube in MN . the wait staff service is hit and miss. the enviorment is clean...a little cramped. most importantly the food is great. saurbraten is by far the best thing to eat. read more

Fish, fries and slaw were great but the toasted buns were not, they had no flavor and were like hot dog buns. There were 4 of us and none of us ate the toasted buns. It seemed like they were using up leftover buns. There is a nice bakery on their block where they could good purchase good bread and make the meal a 4-5 star fish fry. We will continue to look for the perfect fish fry. read more

Great Service, good food! Driving through Hastings and we were looking for something good and found this little place. It's not fancy but I was impressed none the less. We were greeted immediately but a nice friendly server. We all order from the German food section of the menu and pretty much all cleaned our plates. Hope to be in the area again and I will surely go back! read more

Extremely good German cuisine! If you like brats this is you place! Deffinetly would come here again! Cool history, super nice folks that work there and great food! Nikki is an awesome waitress!!! read more

Thought it was great. Feels like the place hasn't changed since 1962. Had no idea what to expect but the sauerbraten was great. $2 off on Sunday's. read more

Awesome Sunday brunch for a real reasonable price! Great neighbor bar & grill vibe. Good food specials, great staff! I really like their grilled cheese, my S.O.'s son really really likes the spaghetti! The German menu items are yummy, too! read more

I am German and have had authentic German food my whole life. I was in the mood for chili when I went to the Hastings Bierstube this week and I have a gluten intolerance so I asked the waitress whether or not it has gluten in it. I said it's important and she said it does not have gluten. I ate it and woke up today and it clearly did have gluten since I" having a reaction and nothing else would account for it. On top of that, my family's had a lot of German food and they said the dumplings were greasy and lumpy, the red cabbage was much too sweet, and the meat meal was just average. They had the schweinhaxen and the plate of samples of everything. I'm not going back! read more

I really do like the food here, but I just can't go back. The last two times I visited I did a take-out order and both were messed up. Most recently my order for 5 had 2 of the meals completely wrong and did not match what was on the receipt. To the store's credit, the person who served me double checked with the person that assembled the order that everything was there, and apparently she said everything was ready to go. While I waited, some random person asked me if I was here to help break down the breakfast buffet. No, I was not. A few minutes later I saw the same guy who was helping me running out to my car with items that he saw in the kitchen that were meant for my order that had never made it. He was really, really trying! Oh, and I later realized I was never handed back my credit card, a detail I missed with all of the randomness that went on. As a customer, it's just not my job to verify every detail of the order. Service is important. The food was very good. I can't see going back as this has just cost me too much face with my friends and family claiming this to be a "great" restaurant and now requesting a new credit card be sent to me. read more

only go on a tue or sat night when the best cook is working (the one with the mustache)
