    I always love coming to Hollerbachs!! It's a great place to get traditional German food!! I have never had anything here I didn't like!! My most recent visit was to watch a game during the World Cup, and it was super busy!! But had a great time with everyone watching the game! It can be a little loud but it's what you would expect at a restaurant like this! The staff are usually pretty friendly and quick to get you a new drink! One of my go to stops when in the area!

    This is the best German food I have had outside of Germany! We have one near our house and Hollerbach's blows it away! Go here, have fun! We had a really large group and a huge long table. We had reservations which was a good thing because it was packed on a Saturday for lunch. We had several appetizers and I had schnitzel, which was really good with brown gravy and potatoes. The spaetzle was great. Someone at our table had dessert, but most people had really large beers!

    Huge noisy restaurant with quick attentive service. We were seated quickly. Our server was attentive. The food was good, but I have never had German food before so don't go by me as far as authenticity goes but I liked what I had. Seems like a fun place to do with a group. The giant pretzel looked amazing so if I make it back here I am coming with a group and we are for sure getting that pretzel ! Bee sting cake was delicious and huge.

    Authentic German Lunch with Great Service Yesterday we met our friends for our monthly lunch outing, and this time we chose Hollerbach's German Restaurant in Sanford. It turned out to be a great pick. They seated us in a big, open room -- no sound‑absorbing décor, but surprisingly, it never felt loud or echoey. We could talk comfortably the whole time. There's also a charming little German market next door where you can pick up groceries and specialty items. Our server, Rebecca, made the experience even better. She was upbeat, knowledgeable, and handled our group like a pro. When we told her each couple needed separate checks, she gave a playful wink and said, "I gotcha." She also made sure to check that I was okay with their unsweetened iced tea having a peach flavor before bringing it out. Small details like that go a long way. I ordered the Jäger Schnitzel, and the flavor was fantastic -- rich, savory, and comforting. The only downside was that it wasn't hot, more on the warm side, as if it had been waiting a bit. Still delicious. My spouse ordered the Sauerbraten, which looked great, though I thought the meat was a little dry even with the gravy. My goulash soup starter, however, was excellent. The place was busy, and I saw people waiting outside, so reservations are definitely a good idea. We all enjoyed our meals and the chance to catch up. Hollerbach's is now on our list of places to return to for both the food and the German grocery items next door.

    Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and was seated right away. The menu is cute, styled as a newspaper. Large selection of German foods and drinks. I opted for a doppelbock (my favorite beer that is somewhat hard to find) and the 2 meat dinner. Double potatoes as sides felt right for a German restaurant. It took a little while for our food to come out because there were 2 large parties there but not excessively long. Everything was delicious.

    Wow! Wow! What an amazing place. We found it driving back from eating the other night. Super friendly hostess and an awesome server. The menus like a newspaper with history and great descriptions. The menu is a bit overwhelming but we ordered what we knew. He started with the pretzel and the mustard was the bomb. The cheese spread was also delicious but my favorite was the mustard. Then I had the Jagerschnitzel with red cabbage and sauerkraut. The pork schnitzel was awesome and the gravy was devine. The red cabbage was delicious and awesome. The sauerkraut was ok. Then we tried the Black Forest Cake. Oh my. It was amazing. The whole meal left me in joyful agony over eating way too much much. The old school family table inside and the outside was more four tops. The decor was traditional German. Awesome place and will be on my return list.

    We were on the way to Disney when we were feeling hungry. Husband was craving German restaurant so luckily we found one! We found parking easily and were greeted immediately inside the restaurant. The restaurant was busy, lively, and felt cozy. There was happy hour specials($5 appetizers and beer) going on when we arrived so we decided to order off that menu. To do so, you do have to order at the bar so keep that in mind. We were led to the bar room and it was spacious and alot more quiet than the main dining area. Our server was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. We had the following: Pretzel with mustard and cheese: 7.5/10 - it was a bit salty but combined with the sweet mustard was delicious! Since it was the smaller version of their giant pretzel, it was only $5 and worth every penny! It was a pretty good size and enough to share between the both of us. I liked the cheese spread too but it was bit rich for me. The mustard was definitely our favorite dip! Potato pancakes with applesauce and sour cream: 9/10 - this was by far my favorite appetizer. The potato pancakes were fried perfectly and the crispy edges were delightful! I didn't think I would enjoy apple sauce and sour cream together but it worked so well with the fried pancake. It cuts through the grease and adds a little sweetness. The portion size was hefty too for $5! Bratwurst with hot mustard: 8/10 - There were a variety of flavors we could choose from and I chose cajun since I love spicy flavors. The bratwurst was cooked perfectly and it was also cut into pieces for easy eating. For $5 you get a big bratwurst and some mustard. I wish it was a little spicier but nonetheless, it was juicy, flavorful, and had that signature snap of a great bratwurst. Jaeger schnitzel: 9/10 - my husband chose the veal and he said it's one of the best schnitzels he's ever eaten. I could see the joy in his face in each and every single bite. It came with warm, pickled cabbage and spaetzle. The schnitzel and spaetzle were covered in this absolutely delightful gravy. I had a bite of everything and it was divine! My husband has lived in Germany and he said it was very reminiscence of his time there. It was a pretty hefty portion too and I knew he loved it when he cleaned his plate completely haha Apple streusel: 9/10 - The apples combined with the flakiness of the pastry and hints of cinnamon was like a warm, cozy hug on a winter day. I cannot explain to you how yummy this was. The pastry itself was light, airy, and each bite made us smile. Definitely try this dessert out! German beer: 9/10 - Husband enjoyed his beer very much and I took a sip. It tasted pretty light and not too heavy. Overall, we will definitely be coming back if we're in the area. Service and food were absolutely great! Prices were reasonable for the portion size too! It's located in a really cute historic area that was perfect for a mid day date or to walk around and explore. They also have their own German cafe/market that you can snacks, cookies, cakes, candies, meats, cheeses, etc. from too!

    Been a long time since I was here last, decided to have a little date night. It was a fun time in downtown Sanford. Got here early and no wait at all which was nice. Service was not the greatest without server, hard to get her attention for things. I got the paprikaschnitzel with heaven and earth potates and a salad. All great flavors and were really good. Only disappointment was the potato were a little dry and I needed some gravy for them. She got the schnitzel weiner art with potatoes and salad. Hers was really good too It's always a good time sitting inside with the music and singing. Can be a bit loud at times and hard to hear each other. But it was too hot to eat outside. Will definitely be back. Need to check out the upstairs rooftop patio area.

    Sunday afternoon drive to Sanford and we ended up at Hollerbach German restaurant. We have come here for years and prefer to sit on the bar side. Today's server Mason was outstanding thank you! One of our favorite places to eat when I get the urge to have something I was raised on. I always get the schnitzel with Spaetzle and red cabbage with gravy on the side. Also, we always get a pretzel as a starter with a beer. If German food is your thing this place is well worth your time and money.

    Bitburger Pilsner cheers!!

    One of our favorite places to eat at in Sanford!! Hollerbach's has the BEST German food in Orlando. I love to try the different sausages and the best side is always the Heaven and Earth Potatoes. The atmosphere is so much fun and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming. My tip is to go early for lunch to get a table without a wait!

    Great atmosphere. Germany won the game and the place was roaring. The server was very efficient. Our appetizers came quickly. They were out of dome beers on tap. The pretzel appetizer was enough to share. The saurbraten was good. The bratwurst was good too. We loved the red cabbage. The music was jovial.

    I've been more than once but this most recent time was the first time I was here when the musicians were singing and playing. This is a vibe. Take your friends, get a boot, enjoy the beer and the exciting times. We had a while before a show around the corner so we took our time and even played some cards in between an app and our meal. We weren't rushed out and we felt glad for that. I didn't love our latkes. They were cold when they got to us. Our server seemed confused that they had not made it to our table so my guess is that they had been sitting in the window a while forgotten. I almost sent them back, but I hate that. Our server was nice enough to tell us one of the beers we considered ordering wasn't even German so it wasn't the best choice ;). Thankful for that. I would say the sausages are the best here. I did order spaetzel but it also wasn't super warm when it came out and the cheese wasn't my favorite. It's what I ordered though so that's on me. I love the newspaper style menu it makes it fun!

    My favorite spot in Sanford! I love coming here on the weekend but I actually went with my coworkers on a lunch break this visit. We sat on the bar side and had two amazing bartenders. There were a couple groups on the bar side, but it wasn't too loud. They offer lunch specials at a fantastic size and price! I got a Radler to drink and the Kleiner Sauerbraten. Absolutely phenomenal. This was my first time ordering it and will definitely get it again.

    Hollerbach's German Restaurant Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Hollerbach's German Restaurant

    Do you have birthday cakes?

    Cakes require a 2 day advance order and are not available for the same day. Hollerbach’s Magnolia Square Market offers the catering option. Even though the Market is down the street, the kitchen area is shared for both establishments.… 

    We are planning a family get together for Saturday afternoon. There will be 15 people coming. Will you be able to accommodate us around 1 pm.? I have tried to call but have not been able to speak to a person, only get a recording.

    Reservations are for the main dining hall only and are only taken Monday- Friday. Reservations for Saturday and Sunday are unavailable.

    Is the roof top dining for events only or can you get a table up there and would you need to reserve one?

    The rooftop is open to anyone at any time. It isn't for events only. No need to make a reservation. Just take the elevator up and see the hostess when you get up there.

    Is it possible to get a table on a Saturday night for 8-10 without a reservation? We don't mind a long wait.

    If you don't mind a long wait then yes you can. A reservation is just easier. Enjoy!

    Is there a nutritional chart available on request? As a diabetic I would need to know. Example: the giant pretzel? How many gazillion carbs? Thanks :)

    No nutrition available. If you’re diabetic, don’t eat the pretzel. Eisbein with sauerkraut is delicious & a good option!

    Are dogs allowed?

    Yup! You can have them in the outside eating area and they will even give you water & food for them :)

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

Another shoutout to Priscilla, who was so kind when cashing out our order. We're so ready to come back... tomorrow (haha)! Thank you, Hollerbach team who worked tonight (3/29/2026).

After you shop, grab a bratwurst and cold bier and sit outside to enjoy the surroundings or go next store the Hollerbachs restaurant and have lunch or dinner. This is the best German market & restaurant in Florida !

This was his first night and was equally as good as the primary server, except he had to get help on a few questions we had that related to how to use certain sauces etc. And he got the help very quickly. We started with the pork belly. Fried crispy on the outside and still tender on the inside. It was served with what looked like marinara, but it had an amazing spice mixture in it. Spices as in seasoning, not heat. The best pork belly I have ever had, I could eat just this, and if I were alone it would be enough. We had a cup of hunters soup and polish mushroom soup. Both were very good. I would skip those next time to save room for other things, but only because I would rather eat other things. There were enough tables to seat quite a few people without overcrowding anyone. As a main course we decided to split the polish sampler. 2 potato pancakes, 2 cabbage rolls, 8 perogies and a polish sausage. We didn't know how big the sausage would be so we ordered a side, we did not need it. There was so much food, we did not finish it all and my wife had some for lunch the next day, and still there was leftovers. The place is hidden in a 3 story shopping center, but well worth looking for.

It was literally steps to the beach so that was nice to stroll out there before/after. After poking around some shops, I made my way upstairs to Dill! The place is cute and colorful! Loved the European decor! I was there on a Tuesday night and there were only 2 other tables sat so pretty dead at the time. Server was lovely, cheerful, and helpful! They don't have a full bar but do serve beer and wine so was able to get a glass of vino. I really wanted schnitzel and pierogies but unfortunately you can only get the pierogies by the dozen (unless you get the big combo meal which comes with 6 rogis and a shit ton of other food). Problem was, I had a 6am flight the next morning so no way I would be able to eat any leftovers. I asked if there was ANY way I could just get like 2 rogis and she unfortunately said no (I totally get it, but maybe add smaller options in the future!). So I went with a cup of borscht soup and the pork schnitzel. The soup was served hot (I've only ever had it cold) and was very good! The schnitzel was legit the biggest schnitzel I've ever seen in my life and it's a GOOD THING I didn't get rogis in addition to it lol. I immediately cut it in half and was only able to eat that much. I got the mushroom sauce too and that was so yummy with the schnitzel! The potatoes and slaw were very good too, loved how refreshing the slaw was!! You would never think to look for this kind of food in Daytona of all places, but it's definitely worth a stop! If I had anyone dining with me, I could see getting a few dishes to split because of how large the schnitzel was. Wonderful place with great service and delicious food, just wish I was able to try those rogis!
