    Potato pancake

    Loved our schnitzel loved the cheese, curds and loved with all the beer options. In terms of service I think they were just really busy, but we definitely were not checked on multiple times and weren't given water when we requested water. Overall, the place was clean, I just think they definitely need some more servers.

    Huge selection of beers! They have a lot of open seating that's accommodating for big groups coming in and out. We all had a few rounds of draft beers ($8-10). All the beer is imported and have great pours. We did order fries ($4) and a pretzel to share ($7), both were crispy and hot. I'm sure if they had a happy hour it would do well against competitors in the white rock area

    German and German-styled beers plus German-styled food. What's not to love about that? All that's missing is an oompah band and pretty girls in drindls! Arriving when it was quiet, I enjoyed a beer and then a meal. A fantastic pilsner poured in the proper glass. After that one was gone, I let the bartender talk me into dinner. I chose the "plated" schnitzel and she suggested that I have the mushroom gravy on the side. Wow, that was a great idea. I got to have bites of this wonderful pork plain and then have bites with the gravy. The small arugula salad on the side was ideal. A bit later, a second beer. So many to choose from on tap and in tins and in bottles but I chose a German import draft and it was perfection. From the world's oldest brewery, Weihenstephan Kristallweissbier. Just beautiful. Friendly folks and maybe they'll see this. Stephanie was a delight and Adam was fun to talk to. Sitting out front and watching the sunset while sipping a beer was most pleasant. As the place fills up, it does get quite loud. It's all smooth walls that reflect sound so some baffles would really help. This is such a friendly and fun joint. Clearly a local favorite and I can see why. [Review 593 of 2024 - 457 in Texas - 21624 overall]

    What a great find! We had just eaten at another German restaurant in DFW that everyone raves about. It was so bland that we didn't have high hopes for this one...but we were pleasantly surprised! Clean, cool vibe, good service and the food was fantastic! We had the homemade brat, cheese curds, schnitzel and a burger along with German potato salad, fries and a potato pancake for our sides. Everything was perfect! 10/10 I highly recommend, and will be coming back again as soon as we're in the area.

    Nice menu and beer selection. Would have loved to have actually ordered. Waited at bar and two people who came in after me went to the register and were served, so I assumed that was the protocol. Got in line there. Finally made it through the line and was ignored to wait on bar customers. :/ no one greeted anyone on arrival so was hard to tell what the system there was. Waited about 15 minutes without being spoken to at all. Understandable if it was packed, but it was not. Ambiance was good. Clean. Lots of wood. Not crowded at all.

    Great place to celebrate the Day of German Unification (celebrating 34 years of reunification.) Great Food, Fantastic German Beers and excellent Service.

    Great place in White Rock lake area. Great beer selection. Reasonable prices on beer, especially for the neighborhood. Our server was great (bigger guy, forget his name). I got the chicken pot pie soup to start. It was almost like eating a chicken pot pie, without the crust. Just a little thinner on consistency, hence calling it a soup. For my main, I got the D9 schnitzel plate. Way bigger portion than I was expecting. Good food overall, not the best, a bit saltier than I'd prefer, but it exceeded my expectations for the price point. Will come back.

    Apfelkuchen, don't sleep on it.

    We dropped in on a late Saturday afternoon for a beer around 3pm, we wanted a bit of a snack since it was between lunch and dinner so my husband ordered a soft pretzel with the pub cheese and mustard and I ordered a dessert since I have a sweet tooth and their beer selection is always on point. His pretzel came out nice and hot, fresh out of the oven and the pub cheese that it comes with is so good....I always sneak a piece of his pretzel with cheese when he orders it. One of these days I'll get my own. Now on to my dessert, I got the Apfelkuchen, pronounced "apfel-kooken" for those not fluent in German like me. It is a completely lovely apple cake that is filled with apples, cinnamon and sweetness. This cake is served cold and although I love a warm dessert, this cake was perfectly chilled and all of the flavors still sing. I love how the top of the cake has apple slices that fan out, the cake itself is very moist and dense, served with a bourbon whipped cream that was a perfect companion to the warm spices present.

    Good variety of beer! Parking is easy. Vegan bratwurst and potato salad exceed my expectations!

The staff was incredibly helpful, even leading up to the actual reservation. We had a party of 8 that sat in a nice corner booth. The overall space is a little small, but it's actually perfect for the vibe. It was very busy on a Saturday night, but (not surprisingly) the staff was incredibly on top of things. We ordered some appetizers, which were phenomenal. A side of macaroni and cheese that had some homemade potato chips on top. And every single entrée our party ordered did not disappoint. Literally all 8 dishes had 0 complaints. I think this speaks to the quality overall at the restaurant because that is hard to impress 7 teenage girls and a foodie adult. They were super supportive of holding my daughter's birthday cake. Our waiter even slicing it when it was time. He obviously was a pro because there's no way i would have figured it out due to the size and shape. This was an incredible experience and I'm shocked that we had never heard of it before. The only downside is that there's a single women's restroom and the parking can be limited when the other businesses are operating. Lounge Here is literally a gem!

The food is good and the service was average. Our waiter was very friendly but everything we ordered took some time, including the cocktails. The fried green tomatoes were very good - crispy and a little tart. The ribeye was a good medium rare but average in flavor. The tomato soup and the grilled cheese did not disappoint.

    I genuinely wish I had read the reviews before spending my time and money here. Let me start by…read moresaying this clearly: the staff themselves were NOT the problem. In fact, they were the only good part of my experience. The bartender took great care of me, and the KJ was friendly, welcoming, and made the night enjoyable. They seem like genuinely good people who are stuck in an environment that doesn't let them shine the way they deserve. Unfortunately, everything changed the moment the owner walked in. The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly -- you could literally feel it. His presence carried the exact same energy you'd see in a bad episode of Bar Rescue: arrogant, dismissive, and unnecessarily hostile. After seeing how he treated his own staff, I felt compelled to speak up because these employees deserve so much better. When I calmly tried to tell him how his behavior toward them came across, I was immediately surrounded by staff who looked ready to escalate the situation. I don't blame them -- it's their workplace and they were defending their boss -- but the whole thing felt unnecessarily tense and uncomfortable. And here's the thing: I'm not the only one saying this. Look at the other reviews. There's a clear pattern, and it's not coming from customers having a "one-off" bad night. This place has potential because of the people working there, but the owner's attitude creates a toxic environment that affects everyone -- staff and customers alike. My hope is that the owner either changes the way he treats people or that people are aware of what they're walking into. Again, to the staff: you are not the issue. You were the highlight of the night. To future customers: read the reviews and decide for yourself -- but personally, I won't be returning.

I got the impossible burger with sweet potato fries. Amazing! We sat outside which may have been the wrong move, once the food arrived a slew of flies swarmed us and would not give up! We were barely able to get through half of the meal before deciding to take half of the meal home and getting out of there. The staff was friendly. They love dogs and came to hang out with our dog and give them plenty of water. They even offer treats if you would like. There is plenty of parking for an off period (we came at around 2pm).

It's the kind of place where you can come as you are, grab some good food and drinks, and just hang out. The patio is definitely the star of the show! It's big, relaxed, and has a great neighborhood vibe. We loved that it's dog-friendly and super family-friendly too. There were lots of kids enjoying the space, which makes it a great place for everyone to gather. Goodfriend has a great beer selection, fun specials, and a menu full of casual favorites. It's perfect for a weekend afternoon, meeting up with friends, or just enjoying the Dallas weather outside. One little thing I noticed: we've been able to split appetizers for payment in the past, but this time we weren't able to. Not a huge deal, but a little more consistency with payment options would make the experience even smoother. He was a nice guy, service was good. Overall, this is a cool neighborhood hangout with a great patio, good food, friendly vibes, and a place you can easily spend a few hours relaxing.
