I've been hoping to find decent German food in Knoxville since I got here in '22…read more I finally made it to Schulz Bräu, and they did not disappoint. The food was tasty, the beer was excellent and the atmosphere even on a drizzly Saturday afternoon was nice. For full disclosure, I cannot say it was the best sauerbraten I've had...that would be Monica's at Schnitzel in Vidor, TX...but it was very tasty. And the prices surprised me in their reasonableness. I look forward to returning soon and trying a schnitzel.

the only reason i am giving 4/5 stars is my two friends and i arrived here on a game day (none of…read moreus are into sports and had no idea) so this place was PACKED. a somewhat organized chaos. we got our food after about 30-35 min of wait time, which for the surplus amount of fans in this place was to be expected. i got the schnitzel pizza and it was good! my friends got the schnitzel and bratwurst respectively with two sides each. i ate the sauerkraut, which also wasn't bad, but i also just like sauerkraut haha i would definitely come back on a day that hopefully isn't as crowded because i did enjoy my pizza and would like to try a beer and another menu item. it was loud and busy, but not once was anyone rude. and i really appreciated that. we didn't require a ton of service, but the workers we did speak too were polite and that's all that i could ask for, especially if they had so much more going on. props to the staff at schulz!!

The Porter received our highest rating in unTapped to date, the Guava Lager is a must try. The Helles Belles had a crisp, spicy and sharp taste we rarely find in such a brew.

A quick Yelp search while in the area led us here. It was a good find for sure…read more Loved that even on cold days, there is a closed-in patio that allows pups! Our pup travels everywhere with us, so finding these spots is important to us. It was very spacious too - so we weren't on top of other guests. They have an extensive menu and the same with the beer list. There is something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to fruity sours. Not sure which beer you may like - get a sample. Or try a flight! For lunch, we got the deviled eggs to start - something that is a go-to for us. They were solid and enjoyable. For the main, we opted for the Abridged burger and the Chicken club. Both were solid as well. Fries were crispy, but a bit over-salted, and I enjoy some salt. So made a note for next time to "go light". Service was good too. Overall - really only a tiny detail to 'complain' about, but easily taken care of next time. We will be back for sure - I want to try their pizza!

Burgers have always been top notch and awaiting their takeover of the Xul kitchens here. Bar staff on top of service, even refilling water when it got low. Service is a plus. Ambiance is more restaurant feel than brewery, although there is a wide selection of brews available. She order a lemondrop. Nice job, but you get a lemondrop pretty much the same no matter where you go. Beer is very good here. I did not have one I did not enjoy. I need to return some time and try some of their food menu items.

We popped in here after hiking at Haw Ridge Park with our pups. It was just a short drive down the…read moreroad and there was ample parking. The building is great! Lots of seating options, open and airy. There were pups galore and some kiddos. Lots of TVs to watch the game if that's your thing. They have a food truck calendar, so if you know your fav you can plan the night to come accordingly. We didn't try the food as we only came for the brew. Loved the offered a taste before you buy. I saw some flights going out as well. I loved my Spicy Pineapple Sour! It was dangerously good, I was even out pacing my hubby LOL. He liked his IPA. They even had a cool area with a fun mocktail menu if you want to enjoy sipping with out tippin' over at the end. Overall I'm into it and plan to go back. They had an event board that looked interesting! Bingo anyone??

Brunch gives you access to a small buffet (fresh fruit, potato salad, chicken salad, pasta salad, brownies, and cookies) that you can help yourself to while waiting for entrees. I split a mimosa carafe which was delightful, their coffee is spectacular as well. While it was packed, I could still speak at a normal volume with my partner and enjoy our valentines morning! The energy and ambiance didn't feel overly hurried and it was overall very welcoming and pleasant. I ate the quinoa benedict and LOVED it!! For two entrees, coffee, and a large mimosa carafe we split about $50.

Whether it's packed for a UT game or a chill Sunday afternoon, the mood is always laid back and welcoming. A food truck is usually out back. They've got a wide range of options on their menu and pretty much always have a gluten free option or two. Everyone is friendly, and it's dog friendly inside. Love this place.
