What a treat. Visited this establishment today with 2 of our good friends. None of us had been here before but we all wanted to try this place. It did not disappoint. Great place to have a few beers, hang out with friends and enjoy good food. It started with our server, very friendly and helpful. She explained the menu and made some recommendations and knew the beer selection well. We decided to try the German Sampler for four and glad that we did since that was a great way to try several different types of their wonderful food. We started with Beers of course and one of their pretzels - yummy. Then our Sampler Plate arrived (it included a choice of 4 sides). We selected their Beet Salad, Potato Salad, Potato Croquettes and Spatzle. The Sampler plate had 4 Potato Pancakes, 2 Schnitzel's, 2 Meatballs (cut up), 2 Smoked Brats and 2 Berlin Curry Wurtz and with their Hunter Sauce and Gypsy Sauce on the side. Great flavors and plenty of food. Good place to visit and as Arnold says " I'll be back" - you should visit if you are in the area and are thirsty and hungry!! read more

First time here. Service was excellent! Every worker was extremely kind and super friendly. They made you feel so special and important. I had the Berlin Curry sausage with a side of cucumber salad and potato salad. The sausage was enormous! The taste was exactly what I hoped for. Nice crisp skin too. The curry was flavorful and not at all spicy. I would have like a little spice but that's okay. The potato salad was amazing as was the cucumber salad. My only disappointment was the appearance of the cucumber salad lol only because it didn't compare to the menu image. It didn't have the touch of green topping it. But that made no difference to the taste. I loved it. The rest of the family had schnitzels and they were delicious!! Especially that gypsy sauce oh my! read more

Oh My!! Never had German food and . I ordered the special of the day, Rahm Sauce Chicken Schnitzel and I have never in my life tasted a sauce so good. Buttery and rich with an earthiness to it. A solid 10/10 for that dish alone. The spetzle, potatoes crochetes and my husband's Hunter's Pork Schnitzel were all delicious too. The service was great. Our server was a first time server (promoted up) and just a sweetheart. She answered all the questions and helped us pick what the kids would like from their vast menu. We will be back for sure and I suggest you make this the spot for your next dinner date. You won't be disappointed. (Husband had sour kraut but I don't care for it and didn't try it. He said it was good) read more

My friends and I have been wanting to try German Guys since they first opened. My husband and I are big fans of German food so anytime we can find some locally it's a real treat. We stopped in as a party of three at about 2:30pm on a Saturday and there was a steady stream of customers, but it wasn't super crowded. We sat at a table outside and we had two people who took our orders and checked on us throughout the meal. The way they have their meals set up you can choose your protein with different sauces they offer along with two sides that come with the meal price. Depending on which topping/sauce option you choose the price changes a bit. During our visit we tried the Schnitzel fingers ($10), Potato pancakes (four pancakes $9), German pretzel ($7), and the Farmers Leberkase (Bavarian Meatloaf) with potato croquettes and spatzle as the sides ($20). -The pretzel was cooked perfectly and was hot but still really fluffy inside, it paired great with the mustard. -The Schnitzel fingers ended up being a piece of schnitzel cut into slices and served with their hunter (mushroom gravy) and gypsy sauce (a tomato based creamy sauce). -The potato pancakes were medium sized and they said they make them fresh everyday -The farmers leberkase was cooked so it was crispy on the outside and super flavorful inside, the eggs that came on it had a tasty, runny yolk and the onions paired great with each bite. The potato croquettes that came with it were really unique, but could have used a sauce or extra seasoning. The spatzle also was really different than what I'm used to, it was longer and thinner than what I'm accustomed to. Overall this is a great addition to the German food scene locally. read more

Good food and beers. My wife and I went on Wednesday night and they had an awesome deal on your choice of Schnitzel and two sides for 15 dollars a person. We both had the hunter schnitzel and our sides were potato salad, spatzle, Bavarian sauerkraut and croquettes, all very good, and they have numerous other offerings. If you have a hankering for German food head their way. read more

I have never been to this place yet. So how can I post a review? Sorry..Finally, my family of 13 get to dine in this place on my birthday last month. Great service, great food. Reminds us of Germany. Lived in Frankfurt & then Bamberg during my late husband's 2 rotation in the US Army. Loved & enjoyed the place very much read more

OMG!!! This place is AMAZING. This restaurant is decorated really cool. We were able to get outside seating in the patio. The music that's playing in the background is German top 40 stuff. The wait staff very attentive and knowledgeable. The connection Vanessa, our server, made with us, truly came from her heart. I can tell she really loves her job. Making us feel welcomed. She asked if this was our first time. And of course it was. She went on to explain a brief history of how the restaurant came about. How mostly everything on the menu is made in house. The sausages, the meatloaf, the meatballs, the schnitzel. Along with the desserts. And the sides that come with it. And the few things that are not made in house, they have it imported from Europe. The owner comes in every morning and prepares everything. I had a coffee. Best coffee ever! My husband had a Korbinian beer. And it was served in a boot. I had the meatball half-and-half, and my husband had the schnitzel curry. Both dishes were incredibly delicious! Cucumber salad, so refreshing, so delicious! Their croquettes and spaetzle also delicious! Hubby and I shared the Black Forest cake. Very delicious. read more

We had the schnitzel and sour kraut with Apple strudel for desert all were very good. I think the kraut serving is too big however maybe half of that would be better. Mia was our server she was great honestly would go back just for her. Very personable, checked on us frequently, and was just terrific. The place is clean but a little worn around the edges all in all it was a good experience! read more

I didn't know this restaurant existed until today!!! We jumped in the car and hit the road immediately. The entire atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Our waitress (Erica) made sure we understood the menu and went out of her way to double check on ingredients due to my husbands allergies. The owner even came out and doubled checked on our ingredient concerns. We were not disappointed one bit!!! My favorite were the meatballs !!! I don't usually like meatballs but these were perfect. Everything was flavorful, traditional and presented At perfect temperature and presentation. The cucumber salad reminded me of my German Grandmothers salad ( she owed a delicatessen in Chicago area) .....absolutely authentic I we came early before the crowd. Exact perfection food, service and atmosphere Worth the drive We will definitely become Frequent customers Chefs kisss !!! read more

Fun spot with great food and beer. There is a nice outdoor seating area with large tables and heaters.

True authentic German recipes. There are different variations of Schnitzels. I had the lemon chicken schnitzel with red cabbage and cucumber salad. My only comment I can give is outstanding, just like my mother made. If I closed my eyes I would have thought I was having dinner at home lWe also ordered Potato Pancakes as an appetizer. They arrived hot and crispy with ramekins of sour cream and apple sauce. They were perfect. I knew we are on a roll with an incredible dinner ahead. We sat outside with perfect late afternoon weather. Service was friendly and "gemutlich" (cozy). I wil return again and again. read more

I always see this place on my way to another restaurant nearby for years and always wanted to come. Anywho, just the few things I got to taste were amazing. We had the chicken cordon bleu with Gypsy sauce, potato croquettes, and spatzle. The other plate had sauerkraut, potato salad, and a pork schnitzel with Gouda cheese and Hunter sauce. Let me just say wow! All the food was delicious! We were very pleased from the service and food. Just all around a great experience and we will be back probably next week to try more things. I do wish I drank beer since they have quite a variety though. Their prices are also very reasonable and Wednesday is 15 dollars for a chicken or pork schnitzel which you can choose from a variety of sauces and 2 sides. They also have a nice patio area and it was such a nice day.... Cant wait to be back. read more

Parentals and Grandma day out brought us here. My parents have been here on a few occasions, so this was new for me and my boys. Everyone tried something different to see what everything tasted like. Tho you can't go wrong with Cordon bleu , everything was over all good but some things lacked seasoning. Beet salad was, well beets. A tad also on the bland side. As for the potato croquettes. The concept of fried potatoes is doable but they didn't have any salt or seasoning inside. The one thing that made it worth it was the Radler, Stiegel Raspberry! I think maybe if I had started with this the food was just an extra. I'm not a fan of beer but this was really tasty. read more

We were just there last night & our favorite server was waiting on us ! Katie is simply amazing & delightful & very attentive. Erica is bubbly & fun server. Katie F. remembers us from a visit from 2 months ago . It is our favorite restaurant to go to when we're visiting the wineries in Plymouth. The food is authentic & delicious we have so many favorites but if you want some nibbles for a party of 4 , I would try the plate sampler, a variety of different schnitzel, sausages, meatballs & potatoes & 2 sides . This place is quite affordable & you can get a stein of beer that's simply a workout lifting the stein alone ! LOL! The desserts are decadent & food & service is fabulous ! We've been at this restaurant twice when it's been busy & I will tell you the team that we saw last night handle it w/ precision, they don't have panic when it's crazy they just keep going like it's no sweat we got this ! They did !!! The German Guys is a very clean restaurant, we love the beer garden & ambiance is very chill & relaxing in the sun & enjoying a big stein of beer! read more

I've lived in Lodi for 4 years and am 3 years and 364 days late for trying this place! It's off the beaten path but right on Highway 88 and doesn't look like much on the outside. DON'T BE DECEIVED, the food is phenomenal, the service matches the food and the beer list matches the service. If I lost you already, plain and simple if you're still reading this you're late for dinner. The schnitzel has a light breading, the meatballs with hunter gravy were phenomenal and the croquettes with house sauce (red bell pepper sauce) complimented everything. We can't wait to come back. By the way we're keeping this place a secret from our kids so we don't have to share, you better not share this review with them read more

Food was good, & our server was nice. My husband and I each ordered drinks. He got beer & I got a glass of wine. Pour was not generous, & I could see that there was about 1-2 ounces left at the bottom of the bottle. I asked if I could finish what's left & the answer was no. This would have been an act of good will. Instead of wanting to come back or recommend this place, I will not think highly. I will think of them as stingy. There are too many other places I can go. read more

One word: ausgezeichnet! I'm so sorry we've driven past this excellent, authentic and tasty german restaurant in Waterloo: we won't make that mistake again. My curry-wurst and my wife's pair of schnitzel's were as good as anything we've had in Bavaria (without passports, a long jet flight and customs). The bier menu has everything you'd expect from a great german beer garden. The staff is friendly and energetic, and the German pop soundtrack make you feel that your Chevy on California 88 is now an Opel on a side road outside of Munich. read more

Absolutely delicious. Loved the half and half schnitzel. And the choice of beers. I could live here. The staff is fantastic and I just can't wait to come back. Brings my German heritage out of me. read more

I saw they had a food tent at the Walnut Creek Oktoberfest, and I was super intrigued. I asked an employee what was the difference between the currywurst and bratwurst, and the employee was really nice and patient in explaining that the currywurst was more of a snack dish whereas the bratwurst was a whole meal. I settled on the currywurst since I had a couple of drinks and I wasn't feeling too hungry. The dish came with a spear pickle, which was nice to have. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking, but I can't complain. It was a solid pick-me-up after drinking, and other than German potato salad and schnitzel, I can't say I have a lot of experience with German food, so it was a good experience overall. Shout out to the staff for being able to explain and ring me up with all the noise from other attendees, events, and vendors. I'm not sure I'd drive all the way to Stockton for this, so hopefully I'll see them at more Oktoberfest and other German themed events in the future. read more

Another visit to our favorite German restaurant! Today, we opted to sit outside as we had our dog, Jack, with us. It was SO cold outside! Our server was very attentive and started the heaters up for us, which made a big difference! We start with the soup special, a delicious mushroom soup. With it, we ordered extra German bread. Yummm! We also added to the warm up by getting a hot gluhwein that we shared. For our main meal, my wife ordered chicken gypsy Schnitzel with Bavarian sauerkraut and German potato salad I ordered the XXL Pork Gypsy Schnitzel with Fries and red cabbage. read more

I'm always on the lookout for outstanding German food close to home, so when I saw an ad for German Guys, I had to check it out. I had high hopes and boy did they deliver! I've actually been twice now and both times, the food was amazing! Those potato pancakes? So light and fluffy, I could put down an obscene amount on my own. My other favorite is the bigos--it's a new dish for me and so interesting and flavorful, bright and tomato-y. The fresh taps of frosty beer cut through the fried outside of schnitzel and chicken cordon bleu. (How do they get it so beautifully neat?! Mine never look that good!) The restaurant is always clean and tidy, the staff are friendly, the food fresh and it comes out so quick! I love this place. I love it! I can't wait to bring my family for a meal when they come to visit! read more

Such a cute restaurant! Very authentic. Service was great. The German beers were sooo good! I ordered the hunter schnitzel with potato croquettes and cucumber sides. My boyfriend ordered the smoked bratwurst with spatzle and sauerkraut. The hunter schnitzel was okay. I think it could have used more gravy. I did not really like the cucumber salad. My boyfriend enjoyed his plate especially the spatzle with the creamy bell pepper sauce. I had a taste and i can agree that it was very good. read more
