Mary is missed in the dining room. Wait staff could be more attentive and present. Last visit the waitress did not mention any of the specials and this visit they ran out of two specials early. The food was still great but the overall experience has not been meeting expectations. read more

The "wurst" pizza in spartanburg was the one of the best pizza's i've had around town. Nice crunch, perfectly flavorful and if you add grilled chicken to it you got yourself a full belly X 2. They got some great selection of beers from around the world, steigl grapefruit raddler and crabbies ginger ale were my pick. 10/10 for both. Great service team, laid back atmosphere and a spot for a good time!!! Will be visiting again soon. read more

Gerhard's Cafe - Wurst Pizza - Austrian Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Breaker 9, 9, can you hear me? Fly me to the moon, my roasted duck was delish! I substituted the sides for sautéed mushrooms and spatzle and with the glaze of the duck it was never better. Starting with the mixed greens and homemade blue cheese, I had to bring most of my meal home. Paired with the red Sangria, which is made with Amaretto, and their signature bread and cheese spread. It was a meal to remember. Why a 4 you ask and not a 5? Unfortunately we mostly get seated in their "newer seating area" which is not fun. Extremely hard seats, tables that you can't cross your legs under, AND YOU HAVE TO YELL TO BE HEARD BY YOUR DINNER MATES. Even our waitress said she has a headache, leaving every night for the most part. There's gotta be something they can put on the walls or even in the rafters to reduce the traveling noise. Strongly recommend this restaurant and all of its many German offerings. read more

Gerhard's Cafe - Roasted Duck, Spatzle, and sautéed mushrooms - Austrian Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Go for a treat that doesn't have to be a special occasion type night out. The servers are friendly and so knowledgeable of their menu. Great bar menu including drink specials , craft beers and nice wine selections. The food can satisfy any appetite from pizza to specialty German dishes. They have daily specials too. I don't have a favorite dish because I love the variety and try new dishes each time I go. I have never had a meal that wasn't delicious and one I would order again if they didn't have so many different things I want to try! read more

Gerhard's Cafe - Creme Brûlée - Austrian Near Me - Spartanburg, South Carolina

Our dinner here was absolutely amazing. Fun authentic ambiance and delicious food. My husband's sea bass was out of this world, so much flavor and cooked perfectly! The beef stroganoff was equally as flavorful and so filling I took half of it home. 100% I would recommend getting their original "house salad" which is authentic to Austria/german cultures and comes with cucumbers, tomato's, cabbage, and potatoes salad! An extra bonus was their cinnamon ice cream to end the night. We will definitely be back! read more

Outstanding dinner. The menu was varied, offering traditional German dishes, seafood and steaks. We'll definitely be back.

What a hidden gem! Gerhard's Cafe totally surprised me. You walk in and feel like you've been transported to a cozy little tavern deep in the heart of Europe -- definitely not what you'd expect from a spot in a strip mall in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The service was fantastic. It was our first time here, and we had a lot of questions, but our server was super friendly and helpful, making sure we were comfortable with everything on the menu. I ordered the Farmer's Plate, and overall, it was a solid choice. The Swiss cheese knackwurst was a bit burnt on the outside, but the pork schnitzel was absolutely amazing (highly recommend that!). The mashed potatoes tasted like they were made from scratch, and the homemade sauerkraut added a nice touch to round out the meal. The pork chop is also another great choice. Pretty tender and very flavorful. I wasn't expecting to find such a charming spot tucked away in a strip mall, but Gerhard's definitely proved me wrong. I'll absolutely be stopping by again next time I'm in the area! read more

Had the best pasta scallops dish I ever enjoyed. Chef Gabriel Cobb created a master piece. The infused garlic cream with a heavenly smokey flavor from Pancetta. Finish with early peas for the sweet pop. read more

The food was delicious. The table arrangement was awkward with a shared bench between two tables. We didn't know the dress attire so we aired toward business casual however we were over dressed. It turned into a crowded local bar and it got pretty loud. read more

Calamari greasy, long wait for meal, one dessert good other blah...strawberries not ripe. Seating on picnic bench uncomfortable.

Best food in SC. Just like going into a restaurant in Austria or Germany. Love this place.

Ambiance 8/10 Food 8/10 Service 10/10 Emily our server was an absolute treat! Made the experience even more enjoyable! The food was delicious as well! Be sure to try the house salad, it's not what you would expect! read more

This place is amazing. My fiance LOVES German beer and he thought they had a great variety to choose from. We started with the calamari which was great and lightly fried. I got the elk rouladen which I didn't like at all but I also didn't know what it was and ordered it anyways so that one is on me. It was a thin cut rolled up meat with sauce on it and I just was expecting sliced elk. My fiance got the filet with shrimp on top, that was great and cooked perfectly, would recommend. Service was great and pretty quick for as many people were there that evening. Can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu! read more

Food was great, service was ok. I didn't like the Spartanburg old money vibe at the bar. Pretty creepy lol

Oh Gerhard's this place was amazing! First off, the interior is so cool. We got to sit at a barrel table, which felt rustic and on brand. There were some great tables for larger parties, and I like how it felt like all of the tables had privacy from each other. My husband and I came during Spartanburg's restaurant week, so we got the three-course dinner! It came with an appetizer, salad, main entree, and a dessert. There was also bread and a yummy butter to start! Needless to say, food galore!! The stars of the show were the entrees and the desserts. Both the beef stroganoff and schnitzel were very well made. My husband didn't love the spatzle that came with the schnitzel, but I think that just comes down to preference. My favorite menu item and the one I recommend everyone gets when they come to Gerhard's is the lemon cake omg!! I wanted more! I told my husband I want a slice for my birthday - it had the perfect amount of lemon flavor and was just delicious. We loved Gerhard's!! Fun spot with great food! Adding it to my Spartanburg staples :) read more

We stopped in here for dessert after dinner. It's a little bar that serves German food. We had A chocolate brownie dessert, a lemon cake, and a piece of strudel. All were simply amazing. The place is a little dark but service was fast and friendly. The German cake had these delicious cherries. If you want great dessert in a cute little bar, this is the place. read more

Great food, great service! Went to a party here and can't wait to go back! Love the soft shell crab a seasonal item.

Spectacular food in a casual & comfortable environment with a classic rock playlist--what is not to love? I had the filet mignon with mushroom sauce and bernaise grilled to perfection accompanied by the best mashed potatoes I have ever eaten in my life. My husband adored his appetizer of crawfish tails and entree of seafood pasta. Their take on brownie a la mode was sublime. Say yes to the bread! The compound butter will make you want an entire loaf--and you won't regret it! The service was as attentive as it could be with a full house and short staff. Worth the wait--would go every day for a month and not have everything on the menu that looks wonderful. Highly recommend!! read more

Excellent food, great vibes, friendly staff. Try the Australian Sea Bass, wonderful! I always look forward to eating at Gerard's.I had my wife's 70th Surprise Birthday party and my retirement party, both attended by 60 people at Gerhard's banquet room. They did an over the top job, great food and no complaints. Love this place! read more

Service was really good. The meatball and spaetzel is amazing. The sauerkraut and fried potatoes were perfect! Pretzel was good and the pork chop and sausage sampler was really good too. Can't wait to come back read more

We had a party of seven for dinner. It had been a while since we had dined at Gerhard's. Our server McKayla provided five star service. Our food and drink orders were correct (don't laugh but it is not always Common in todays food industry), she frequented our table often for additional requests, and always with a polite reply or smile. The food was hot and delicious - bacon wrapped pork was killer. Thank you McKayla for your outstanding service. read more

I have never left a restaurant two reviews but I have to do another. The food and the service is so good. Last night we got some Thai dressing to go. I could drink this stuff. I'm so mad I only got one jar because I've almost used half already. It is really making me want to eat salad for every meal. If you go, do yourself a favor and grab some dressing to go. You won't be disappointed. read more

One of my most favorite places for a nice dinner in Spartanburg. The Grouper with Lobster risotto is to die for. It can be very busy so I recommend reservations. I have been some nights when the service was not as great because it gets really busy. However, the last 2 times I have been the service has been really wonderful. I got to have my anniversary dinner there right when everything opened back up after COVID19. Very grateful that this place exists! Everything is excellent! read more

When you walk into Gerhard's, you are seemingly transported to a moody Austrian pub with its blend of rustic wood and warm leather. Feel free to saddle up to the bar for a cold cocktail or German ale while you wait for a table. There are three distinct seating areas, plus a beautiful patio for warm summer nights. You have a choice of the formal dining room for fancy occasions, the more casual dining with private booths, and then the Biergarten which has open tables and a cozy fireplace. To start your experience, you'll get a bread basket served with some of the best butter you've ever tasted. It's spicy, almost cheesy, and simply melts in your mouth! If you need something else to tie you over until the main course, I highly recommend the fried pickles which are small, battered spears served crunchy and piping hot with a slightly spicy remoulade. On the menu for entrees are authentic dishes varying from Mahi-Mahi Kabobs over Rice to Elk Rouladen with Spaetzle and Red Cabbage. One of my favorites is the Roasted Rack of Lamb with Green Peppercorn Sauce and Fried Potatoes - the sauce is perfectly creamy and spicy, a great compliment to the tender lamb. For something more traditional, try the Wiener Schnitzel (a thin, breaded veal cutlet) with a traditional Gerhard's salad (tangy potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sauerkraut). For a casual night out with the family, try out some of the wood-fired pizzas. I love the thin and crispy crust and from the traditional pepperoni to the interesting Swiss pizza topped with raclette cheese, you won't be disappointed. And they start at $8! ​Gerhard's is a comfortable spot for a variety of occasions, so head there soon to wow a date, relax with your family, or impress out-of-town guests! ​And if you want more Spartanburg Restaurant Reviews, look no further: www.hubcitybites.com read more

Food was not very good the day we went. Maybe because the owner had been removed. Service was not very good. Was told there is a dress code, but they sat us in a corner in another room due to my husband having jeans on. We won't return. read more

Great great authentic German food and environment. Went here with a group of CO workers at 6:30. Got a great big table. Atmosphere on bar side is very rustic and German feeling even though the outside is in a shopping center. Don't be deceived by outside looks. Cold beer and excellent food. Ordered the Farmers plate. A must!!!Took a little longer than other dishes at table but absolutely worth it. Definitely check this out! read more
