(Herr) Dieter is a real German, and this food is hard to beat. Great service too! He actually noticed me typing this review and informed me my "food was getting cold"... he takes pride in his cooking, and rightfully so. read more

After wanting to come here for years, Friday night it finally happened! My son moved back Alva, and I was missing him so much, I called him and told him I was taking him on a road-trip to eat at Cafe Bahnhof. My son's friends came with us, so we all had such a great time and ordered basically anything we wanted. Our sausage appetizer was really good, as was our entrees and desserts. And don't forget to order beer! I lived in Germany for a time and cafe bahnhof was as authentic as you can get. Actually better in my opinion. I even met Dieter, the owner, and he was as nice as can be! I can't wait until the bier garten opens up. Next time I go I'm getting the Schweine Haxen! It looked fabulous and yes you do see it on the menu everywhere in Germany. read more

Amazing! So far the best restaurant in Oklahoma! Definitely worth the drive, don't forget to make a reservation! Pretzel was awesome! I had the Goulash and my husband the Jaeger schnitzel! SOO Good! read more

I mean...you don't have much of a choice... One of the most random places I've ever eaten. Waynoka, OK is a sleepy little town of maybe a couple thousand inhabitants that you don't visit unless you know someone that already lives there or you're hitting the sand dunes at Little Sahara. Having said that, your eatery options are somewhere between nonexistent and the Jiffy Trip gas station deli at the corner of Santa Fe and Main streets. Insert this random place...not much to say aside from the fact that it is random and it is German. No real complaints aside from my schnitzel being a little tough and the owner closing the main eating area inside to use as his personal smoking lounge....what are you going to do, go to a different restaurant that's actually open in this town? welcome to Waynoka. read more

Cafe Bahnhof-German Restaurant - Back entrance, main entrance? - German Near Me - Waynoka, Oklahoma

The best German food ever served, in my opinion. Reservations are necessary for a reason. The weather was perfect so everyone was dining outside. I did not see the inside, and I'll check it out again when I return in the fall. The mustard sauce for the pretzel was delicious, ask for an extra serving when you order this appetizer. The Jaeger Schnitzel was tender and flavorful. The Spaetzle is freshly made and full of flavor. It's usually hit or miss with me and this place hits the mark! read more

The restaurant was completely empty. Yet the owner proceeded to kick us out of the restaurant due to not having reservations. We asked if we could order to-go and he also refused to do so. He stared at us racistly until we started walking out and told us "it sucks". Don't bother coming to this place to deal with a rude and racist owner in a power hungry trip in his empty restaurant. read more

A very delightful restaurant miles from the closest restaurant Food is excellent, service very good Prices reasonable food plentiful Only tip make reservations they are busy read more

Cafe Bahnhof-German Restaurant - a group of people sitting at a table - German Near Me - Waynoka, Oklahoma

Absolutely outstanding food!!! At this time the main restaurant isn't open we ate in the Biergarten!!! Very warm setting, the meal flavor was melt in your mouth Definitely will be back ! read more

Great job, Great CHEF, and a great host. We were acually in a bit of a rush, and the kitchen was closing, but Dieter was more than happy to make us a couple to-go plates... Schnitzel is amazing.... All of em.... You should always call before you go, you never know when he may be closed for a German "Holiday" or something. None the less, always worth the trip when I am in Waynoka Turkey hunting.. Krystalviesen is a great beer too! read more

Cafe Bahnhof-German Restaurant - German Near Me - Waynoka, Oklahoma

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 4/5 Decor & Style: 5/5 The best German restaurant i've ever been to, and it's all the way in the middle of Waynoka, OK. All dishes were a 5/5. Got the Sausage Sampler as an appetizer. Friend got the Weiner Schnitzel and it probably tasted the best out of all dishes. I got the smoked pork loin, and another person got the Ham. The red cabbage that came with it was superb. The seasoning was excellent and plentiful. The staff was very nice and fast. The owner was working as well (as I'm sure he is quite a bit) and he was very nice and hilarious. Even gave us some free shots at the end! The decor is original. Definitely did not seem like a typical American place. It had a cozy feeling and is two story. The outside bar patio was very nice and had heated lamps. Great place to hang out when waiting for a table. See the pics! read more

Service was great. Food was great and authentic. It's odd for such a good place to be found in such a small town. It's a must try. read more

What a treat. Possibly the best German food that I have had in the US! I travel to Germany every year, and I love the food there. It is very hard to find anything that is this good and authentic anywhere here in the states! We had the Pretzel, the Rahm Schnitzel, the Cordon Bleu, and the Schwinehax'n and all were awesome. The rotkraut and the potatoes on the side were also very good. The owner makes great food, and is very engaging and nice. He will stop by to make sure that you are enjoying everything as well. Just make sure that you make your reservations before you come, and you are all set. Definitely disregard any negative reviews about people upset about this factor. The reservations are because his food is so good, it is a necessity! If you are within 50 miles of here, make that reservation and go enjoy!! read more

This is an amazing gem in the middle of the Oklahoma sand dunes area. The Rahm Schnitzel is simply amazing. I come here every time that I come to play in Waynoka. Make a reservation in advance so you will get in! read more

Went in to town for some food after a day in the dunes, unaware you had to make a reservation and got yelled at by the owner in front of the people within the restaurant. Very disrespectful and a total asshole. We had a group of six, and enjoyed a meal at the cafe instead. Will steer anyone I can clear of this shit hole. read more

Went here excited. Left disappointed. Ordered the schnitzel and it came out burnt. We sent it back and the owner/cook called the person returning the schnitzel a p*ssy. Will not return to the establishment. And highly recommend nobody support this horrible man's business. read more

Yummmmm!!! After a long day of driving and eating highway food this was a awesome stop after sand dunes!! Owner and staff were knowledgeable and welcoming! Will make this a yearly stop!! Thank you!! We also were a large group with 4 children. OUTSIDE SPACE IS PERFECT!! read more

Cafe Bahnhof-German Restaurant - Love eating outdoors!!! - German Near Me - Waynoka, Oklahoma

Dieter is the real deal. Very gracious host and quite the cook. The schnitzel is great and the spaetzle is the best I've had. Even better...the beer is cold and plentiful! It's an out of the way place, but worth the drive if you have some time on your hands! Reservations are suggested, too. read more

This little jewel is well worth the drive. Always good food and the beer is tasty. Our favorite appetizer is the warm crusty pretzel. The Rahm schnitzel is my favorite choice for an entree and you must also try the brussel sprouts. We lived in Wurzburg, Germany and this brings back many good memories. One thing to always remember is to make a reservation. read more

Dieter is a top notch person. Anyone who knows him would say he is hilarious, but a particular man! I call ahead every time. Have had several wonderful birthday dinners here always a large crowd too. He is a gracious host. The food speaks for itself. Don't bother showing up unannounced he has people lined up days in advance to eat here. Just the way it is! It's a diamond in the rough!!! Rham schnitzel is my favorite! See you soon Dieter Prost read more

Food is pretty good and a nice surprise for such a small town. The restaurant was understaffed and only had about 5 tables going. Dinner took about 1.5 hours and we left a hefty tip. Then to be chased into the parking lot by the owner accusing us for stealing a beer glass. Then when he saw that we didn't he offered no apologies and just walked off. This restaurant is NOT worth coming to just to get bad service and accused of stealing. I don't wish anyone ill will but I will not miss this place when it closes. Good riddance. read more

Yeah you gotta have a reservation to eat at a place that has a very low population so I wont be trying to eat here again there kinda rude about it read more

WAAAYYY Overrated! Obviously, Oklahoman's aren't familiar with real German food. 'Reservations suggested' Ha. We made reservations for our anniversary and when we showed up we were greeted curtly to say the least. I felt like we were infringing on sacred ground or something. The place was empty but we were taken upstairs to sit near another couple and it was very hot and uninviting. A group came in (locals) and without reservation seated downstairs. The food was mediocre to say the least and in very, very, small portions even for myself who does not like buffets. I wouldn't go back. It may have been 'great' at some point but is very lackluster now. Super disappointing. read more

Would be a great place if it wasn't for the rude owner. This guy will try to over charge you make sure you look at your bill. Food was great but not worth the headache trying to pay for the bill. read more

The food is amazing, however: the owner was a total dick! When it came time to pay the bill, (there was eight of us and wanted to split our ticket four ways) he didn't want to do that. He tried to do the check as one and tried to demand a twenty percent gratuity. When we tried to pay only for what we ordered and leave individual tips he said "I will never serve you again". This was my first AND LAST visit! Super food, the waitresses were great, the owner is a complete ass hole! read more

Excellent German food. MUST have reservations. Beer garden in the rear, but I don't believe you can eat dinner out there. Owner is always super friendly and comes out to talk to patrons. Would recommend to anyone, just need to plan ahead and make reservations if you want to go on weekend. Has live music sometimes as well. read more

Went down riding for the weekend and saw this place and thought to give it a try (mostly bc it was one of the only things open). ABSOLUTELY terrible. We walked in and were unaware you had to have reservations, because who would think you would need reservations in a shit hole like this. (I saw a roach on the floor....). The owner proceeded to ask if we spoke Chinese when asked if we had reservations, which was his way of saying, get out. He lost quite a bit of $$ considering we had a group of 6. But we went down to the cafe right off the dunes and had an amazing home cooked meal!! I highly recommend it! read more

I've spent a good part of my life in Germany, and this is truly authentic. We saw it on a local travel show, and it looked very appealing. An excellent menu, in a very pleasant venue. The jaeger schnitzel was different from what I'd had in Germany, but it had a personal touch, and was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Decent draft beer selection. Our large party meant there was room for dessert via sharing, and their selection, while small, is also very German. I talked with the owner about how they made their blau kraut (red cabbage) and I'll have to try that soon. Great service. Only drawback: reservations only. So if you find yourself out in Waynoka, make sure you've got reservations, since it's a small place and if not, well, das tut mir leid. read more

Excellent authentic German food. Worth the trip. A destination place, for sure. Service was excellent. Recommend reservations.

Owner is extremely rude!!! Must have a reservation for the weekend, if you don't, he will yell at you in front of a crowd!!!

Quaint little place. Food was great - I consider myself a German food affecianado and this was very well prepared. The evening I was there the service was not good. read more

The Gem in the middle of nowhere....the food is delicious, the service is great, the atmosphere is charming. Make reservations....the RahmSchnitzel is to die for!! The pretzel appetizer is a meal in itself. read more

We were in Waynoka and heard this was an amazing restaurant. We were at basketball ball games all day Saturday and after the games we decided to go here and eat. We did not have reservations. We walked In and they were happy to seat us and allowed us to eat. The food was amazing and our waitress was so sweet, happy, and very observant. We never went without and she knew the menu very well. We will for sure go back and refer to all of our family and friends. read more

Was my first time going there. It was delicious! Love the atmosphere. The waitress was great with explaining what the menu items and beer choices are. Will definitely go back!!! read more

The food is quite good. However the owner is very rude. We called two days in advance to make reservations. The response: "You're only calling in two days in advance for reservations?" When he asked for how many, we said two. The response: "Well two just might be two too many." I thought maybe he was just having a bad moment. But the rudeness continued when we arrived. Eye rolls, heavy sighs, snarky comments. You can event tell the waitress is walking on eggshells - likely having to serve as a mediator/diplomat to compensate for the owner's behavior. read more

What a delight to find this so close to the Little Sahara Sand Dunes State Park! It is a nice break from camping food to go into town one night for some great German food. Be sure to make reservations as the place is small and popular. read more

Worth the drive, wherever you're coming from. I recommend the schnitzel, which comes with generously buttered and seasoned potatoes and the phenomenal red sauerkraut that got me to cross over to what I had long considered to be the dark, funky, how-can-people-eat-this side. The place has a warm, friendly, and comforting vibe, which occasionally evolves into a loud and charmingly hectic one as closing time approaches and patrons attempt to get one last massive beer--or maybe two--into their bellies. Additionally the house salad and dressing are humble, simple, and perfect. read more

The food was excellent, the decor was interesting, and the atmosphere was fun. One of the best experiences I had while working in Oklahoma. That said, the restaurant does lack in space. read more
