For dessert we shared an apple strudel, which was yummy. Parking is easy and you should always be able to find a spot. If you have a craving for German food, try this place. You won't be disappointed.

What a gem! If you like German food, you must eat here!…read more I grew up eating my grandma's German noodles and then someone designated me to be the next expert. So for years, I've been bringing the German egg noodles to family gatherings. These noodles rank up there with my German family's best. So delicious. I also love schnitzel and the Hunter style schnitzel here is excellent. It's awesome to get my choice of two sides (spatzle of course) and my other choice was the red cabbage. I love cold sauerkraut (homemade in my mom's crock), so I tend to hesitate on ordering at a restaurant but the red cabbage is my other go-to at a German meal. It was top tier delicious. I also love how this restaurant is a community base for all things German! Service was excellent! Yes, those are real pieces of the German wall!

After spending much of the day exploring Old Town Scottsdale we decided to take a break and grab a…read morebite and drink at the Brat Haus We were immediately blown away by the overall vibe of the place. You walk in and it really does feel like a lively bier garten. There's many sections, and most of it outdoors. The colors, furnishings, patio games, TVs, music, etc make it feel like a place you could relax for hours Their menu boasts an impressive 28 beers on tap (including imports). They also have a large variety of appetizers and other tasty dishes meals. These dishes are made from scratch and much of the cuisine is European inspired. You'll find a variety of brats, burgers, salads, etc. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. We could have easily have spent many more hours there but there was more of Scottsdale to see Some tips: We went in the spring and it was absolutely gorgeous outside. It's now summer hours and it looks like they're adjusting their schedule accordingly. They are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The rest of the days they're open 12-9pm (they open an hour earlier Saturday and Sunday, and they close an hour early on Sunday) Our server was incredible gracious, attentive, and professional. She gave us recommendations for the area and also food/drink to try You can make reservations, but we just did a walk-in. I think this more applies to larger groups as they're able to accommodate that. They also accommodate private parties (see their website) There appears to be a trivia night every Wednesday at 7pm. There's Girls Night Out Friday specials from 3pm-close. Join the Stein Club (rewards program). Ask your server how to join Explore Old Town Scottsdale either before or after. It's just a short walk away Cheers!!

We were reluctantly let into the small inside eating area being followed by the manager after he stared unbelievingly at my ADA documentation. The manager was not reasonable with my sister when she explained he is welcome in public accommodations as a service animal; he glared at us until we walked out! I am a HUGE fan on Brat Haus but this discrimination is unacceptable especially with heat as an excuse on a water cooled patio bc of my invisible disability. EDIT: I have changed my 1 star to a 4 star review as I genuinely appreciate the owner's fair explanation/ accountability and do not want to inhibit this genuinely awesome restaurant from succeeding. I love my dog and I want him safe as well... but yes, this experience was NOT ideal. There were many shaded, misted patio areas with wet floors spots as it was a watery event. He would have been comfortable and safe on the ground, not in lap, if seated appropriately. There was not a large crowd for this event and therefore a LOT of room to accommodate. That said, from prior visits, I recommend the beer "Fin du Monde"

I have American friends who didn't grow up with this cuisine and have never set foot in the Balkans, yet they adore the food here just like the rest of us! It's so easy to get addicted--especially to the soups and stews (supe, čorbe) and meat dishes (roštilj!). They bake their own breads, including fresh lepinja, so you'll leave with much more bread in your belly than you thought you needed (and feel happy about it for days!). All the traditional delicacies are spot on: ćevapi, ajvar and burek. The staff is wonderfully friendly, and the warm atmosphere inside completely complements its unpretentious (and, honestly, sketchy looking) exterior, which only adds to the charm.

The menu features enough sausage options to think there was a factory out back. There were over 10 varieties to choose from, and after a brief existential crisis, I settled on the two sausages with sauerkraut. They were so good I immediately regretted not ordering a few more links. That's the missing link in my decision-making process. Then came the potato and cheddar pierogies. Naturally, I smothered them in bacon, sautéed onions, and sour cream because moderation is for people eating salads. Each bite tasted like a warm hug from someone's Ukrainian (grandma) who also wanted to make sure you never skipped a meal again. Just when I thought my arteries had filed for divorce, dessert arrived: a cottage cheese crepe with berry sauce that was somehow light, rich, sweet, and ridiculously good all at once. This isn't a place that wastes time trying to impress you with Edison bulbs, reclaimed wood, or a menu that describes water as "locally sourced." They let the food do the talking, and the food basically says, "Sit down, you're too skinny."
