I had a group dinner here for my parents and my boyfriend's mother to meet for the first time. This is perhaps not the perfect location for this type of thing, as it was extremely loud in the restaurant. Despite being very busy, the hostess made sure we had a comfortable table to sit at and were not too cramped. As expected, the beer selection is great and I enjoyed my Berliner Weisse very much. I ordered the goulash and kasespaetzle. The goulash was rich, well seasoned and filling. The spaetzle was soft and creamy, covered in lots of flavorful aged cheese with salty bacon bits and sweet onion. A very rich dish. Although I didn't technically order an entree, I still found myself pleasantly full at the end of the meal. The rest of my dining companions ordered either the schnitzel or the wurstplatte. All seemed very pleased with their food, and some even had leftovers to bring home due to large portions. This restaurant is certainly a fun spot to come, reservations recommended. There's a reason they've been open for so long.

Everything was delicious and the interior was very comfortable, with an indoor space as well as an enclosed garden and outdoor area/biergarten. We will definitely be back!

This place is the things you'd want in an outdoor Beer garden - casual eats in the Brat Haus and beers on tap. Not to mention the in-house private event space that does have air conditioning. Perfect for parties of 20-700! Says it on the website and I wouldn't have believed it until I saw it myself. This review is for The Hive restaurant specifically since that's where I had my meal. A beautiful bar with a Stein wall with lockers for patrons who wish to store them - you see that just past the host station. The indoor dining room just beyond. We started with the Wurst Sampler Platter. Think bratwurst, knackwurst, krainerwurst, and jalapeno cheddar bratwurst. I had no idea there were so many varieties and it was paired with the best potato salad I've ever had. Authentic and delicious sauerkraut to match. Also ordered the House-Cured Slab bacon, paired with a blackberry gastrique. Excellent choices I must say. For dinner, we just had to try the Schnitzel. Admittingly, it was hard to decide (all were veal options and there was one chicken option)! I chose the Champignon Rahmschnitzel and hubby got the Jager Schnitzel. Both were topped with sauce and mushrooms - but entirely different. The Rahmschitzel was breaded veal and had a white creamy mushroom sauce. So delicious! And the Jager one was pan-seared veal with a demi-glace sauce. Outstanding as expected...I was literally drooling at every plate that passed me by. Topped my meal with some hard cider and I was golden. Stuffed and happy! Plattduetsche Park is so rich in history and they have established roots in the community going back 100+ years (established in 1901). What a fantastic place to be - come for the great cuisine and the culture. No special occasion needed. (Reservations suggested for The Hive restaurant - opens daily starting at 3PM). BTW, the Ompahfest (festival) is on Sept. 20th, 2026. Zum Wohl!

Mother's Day in the Beer Hall-…read more We were seated at a long and narrow table (not the ones that are usually in the beer hall) next to the service door. We were shoulder to shoulder to each other. I had to straddle a table leg because of the way the table was set up. I could not get my chair under the table. There was barely any room for our plates and glasses. Even though it was a Mother's Day event, there was not a kids' menu- which makes no sense bc you know kids will be at this event! Two of our dishes had to be sent back because they were cold. It's nice that they hire the local kids and the service was good. Overall, just a bad experience. I do not think we will come back for a special holiday again.

If you really want to know the truth, many restaurants in this town of Forest Hills are completely…read morefull of phonies. Pick the place on Austin Street and go in and some guy in a baseball hat, jean shorts, Knicks jersey, who took public transportation here acts like he owns my town. Then the servers come to you acting like they arebdoing you a grand favor just by handing you a menu, and the food tastes like it came out of a cardboard box. ​But Manor Oktoberfest is different. I'm not even kidding. It's sitting right on Yellowstone Boulevard, about four blocks from my place, and walking in there feels really great. I'm part German myself, and the food there tastes exactly like the kind of honest, real meal my grandmother used to make. No fancy, phony presentation just incredible, hearty stuff that knocks your taste buds out of the park. They've got giant, warm soft pretzels with mustard and cheese dip, monstrous burgers that take two hands to hold, stacked tomato and mozzarella style appetizers, and proper tall steams of cold draft German beer in proper glassware that make you feel human again and possiblyin Dusseldorf. ​The guy who owns the place happens to be a buddy of mine, and he's an absolute terrific guy. A hell of a golfer, too not one of those slick, bragging phonies you see strutting around country clubs like they own the joint, but a guy who can genuinely hit the cover off the ball. ​If you're sick of all the fake nonsense in this town and just want a terrific meal where people actually treat you right, walk on over to Manor Oktoberfest. Five stars, easy. I'm not even kidding.

A quick look from the outside, we'll, it looks like some kind of place where they keep really historic things and serious beers. Also outside are these big blue awnings, not trying to be all fancy, probably for weddings where locals use a side I've never been. ​The inside has got this big old wood bar and a few tired ceiling fans above. It looks like the kind of place where old and young, guys and gals go to eat, drink and make merry. The Queens Chronicle has a picture posted inside '100 years of good cheer,' it says. So I ordered all this German grub and our it came all at once, all laid out looking absolutely delicious. Just look at the giant pretzel. It's sitting there with some wonderful yellow cheese dip, and the platters of sausages, potato pancakes, and sauerkraut, it's all so heavy and seriously yummy. They've even got a bunch of beer bottles lined up under these little blue lights, like they're trying to match the blue awnings, I loved the look myself, i love anything that reminds me of Christmas. ​The dessert with the massive meringue on top of a brownie. It wasvreal good! ​If I ever went to this place ahain, I'd probably just drink beer and eat pie while staring at my giant pretzel for a while.
