With a 4.4 rating I would think our visit would be great. However there were just too many things that screamed not good. I admit I had heard they're breakfast and lunch are great. We thought we would visit for dinner at about 6 pm . Place was totally empty when we arrived; a very wait person say us and very nicely waited on us throughout. I had the two bratwurst with red cabbage and German potatoe salad . Now usually to me , bratwurst should be full juicy sausages of a considerable size . What I got was a little better than two hot dogs that were cut in two length wise. The potato salad was somewhat greasy and not too remarkable at all. The red cabbage was only passable. The whole thing seemed like it was warmed up from lunch , in that it came out surprisingly quickly and was tepid rather than hot. Microwaved maybe even. My partner had pork schnitzel, spaetzal and sauerkraut. The snitzel seemed ok though tepid . The serving size though was somewhat smaller than what their online pic showed but my wife said that she didn't need anything bigger . My wife said the spaetzal was good though I tasted it and thought it seemed warmed up. The oddest thing is that the sauerkraut was mixed up with mashed potatoes. The texture was weird and it was missing the tanginess of sauerkraut and , again, tasted warmed up. Is this a way to "stretch" sauerkraut of all things? The problem is they just started dinner service I guess in the last two weeks according to our server . On top of all this it was exorbitantly priced . Whereas I might visit during breakfast, I may not fit dinner for a while to where they can build a better experience. The waitress was very nice and accommodating. read more

If you've ever been to Germany then you know what real German food tastes like, if you haven't then the food here may seem great. It's not! It's just okay The service was great, could not have been greater. The prices are a little bit higher than I would have thought. $5.50 for an extra side is a bit much in my opinion. read more

We can never pass up an opportunity to try some German food so we stopped here while in Corpus Cristi. The place was empty when we arrived, so we ordered our cakes from the bakery and then sat down. Pur server was friendlh and came by quick to take our order. We had the Farmers Breakfast, breakfast sampler, kids pretzel breakfast, black forest Cake and a bee stingy cake. Food came out very fast. The winner here was that bratkartoffel and the Farmers bread from the Farmers breakfast. Both cakes were also very good with the black forest being just slightly better. The bad part was the kids pretzel, which was hard and stale, and the bratwurst which was salty and not that great. The fruit was also not fresh tasted like something premade/bought. Overall it was pretty good and worth a visit for breakfast. Service is quick and food is pretty good. read more

Not quite Fredericksburg, but absolutely exquisite German food in South Texas, worth resetting the sugar fast. A traditional Apple Strudel has tender pie crust folded with still barely crunchy sections of apple and tender raisins scented with cinnamon and a dusting of powdered sugar. It's beautiful as it is delicious! The cappuccino pairing may have whole-fat milk, an extra indulgence on your way back inland. Daily lunch specials run Tuesday through Sunday, offering a broad selection of other hearty German faves as temperatures drop. read more

I've driven by this place before, but I always missed seeing them open. The website says they are closed on Mondays but now they're open every day including breakfast apparently. . I had the jaeger schnitzel with the German potato salad and the red cabbage, and it was fantastic. It's just good old-fashioned nicely done German food. Lovely baked goods too. But I only took home a homemade pretzel. I'll be going back!! read more

This was a random place I was looking for us to have a quick breakfast. They pulled up on my Apple Maps and saw the pictures and were sold. We will be coming back and bring family and friends. I wish I took pictures of our breakfast but were too hungry. read more

Once you open the door, it's pure heaven. I highly recommend the strudels and pastries. I had the Reuben with turkey. It was soooo good. The guy at the counter was very quiet yet helpful. The entire place gives a Germany vibe. read more

Nice little morning find. Looking for a good breakfast and happened upon JB's German Restaurant. Nice and quiet this morning and perfect chance to relax, enjoy some coffee and eat a delicious breakfast. I ordered up the chef omelette which was pretty yummy and filling. They started me off with a couple sweets which were also great. I didn't partake in any baked goods but the bakery selection looked great. Next time! read more

Good German food for a fantastic price! JB's is located on Staples and Everhart next to the ER and Walgreens. There is a bakery inside with lots of variety. You will find fresh baked bread, pretzels, quiche, kolaches, and an assortment of German pastries and sweets. I have tried the pretzel buns and apple custard pastry and they were both good. We have come here twice now and the food has been consistent. Here is what we ordered: Swiss Schnitzel with Spaetzle - Generous sized fried pork schnitzel smothered in gravy and swiss cheese. The side of spaetzle is a German dumpling/pasta. Both are tasty and very filling. Jager Schnitzel with Bratkartoffeln - Another large pork schnitzel, this one covered in mushroom gravy and a side of German style "hashbrowns" that had bacon with it. Only problem with both schnitzels was the fryer oil aftertaste. The oil was much too dark and could be tasted. Bratwurst in a Bun - One bratwurst sliced in half served on a baguette bun with mustard. Taste good but the bratwurst seems pretty small for the $6. The decor is outdated and could use a face lift. Our server was great but very busy due to lack of workers. The prices are great and it is hard to find an authentic German restaurant priced affordably. Very nice mom and pop shop. read more

We came to the old location years ago for the pastries (for breakfast). This time we stopped by for lunch. My daughter had the grilled cheese sandwich (provolone, cheddar, and Swiss grilled on their fresh bread). My wife and I had the Jägerschnitzel with German potato salad. 9/10 for the schnitzel and 10/10 for the German potato salad and Jäger sauce. Good gawd they were awesome. Yes, we would come back. Attention though that they only stay open till 2pm and closed in Monday. read more

Good and service were amazing! They bring out little samples of their strudel and the other breakfast sandwiches were delish! read more

JB's German Restaurant and Bakery - Raspberry Strudel - Bakeries Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

Five stars for family owned in most unique category. Real german bakery & restaurant in South Texas where tacos and BBQ reign supreme. This bakery / restaurant serves good breakfast / lunch. Big bonus that you can pick up bakery treats and bread on the way out. Operating a family owned bakery and restaurant is a ton of work. Early days, late nights, no time off. Kudos to the family and their team for making this happen. Good family owned restaurants are so much work, they rarely last too long. It's just very hard to keep the pace. It looks like this has been going for many years, congrats. I don't have much experience with german food. Everything I had was very good and I will be back next time I am in CC. read more

Loved it! Wonderful German breakfast and we then hit the bakery for goodies to take back home. Try the strudel.....all the flavors, you can't go wrong! read more

I've seen this restaurant a couple times when in Corpus, but it was closed every time we went by - this was perfect timing. They brought us some samplings of the different pastries they offer and all were delicious and amazing. Our main entrées were typical breakfast plates eggs over easy German schnitzel, homestyle potatoes, all very good and reasonably priced. This is in my must visit column when I go to the beach. read more

JB's German Restaurant and Bakery is DEEELICIOUS! In fact, it was so good we had to come back the next day to try more items on the menu as we were leaving Corpus that day. What a gem of a find! The first day we came for breakfast, and got the Farmers breakfast and German Burrito. The German Burrito is a German crepe (pfannkuchen) wrapped around an egg omelet and bratwurst. It was so so good and a perfect combination! Our toddler loved it as well. By the time we ate our food it was almost 10:30am, and since I was still a bit hungry they let me order from the lunch menu. I got the schnitzel and we all loved it. Tender, moist, with a crispy breaded exterior. So good! In fact, it was the only thing that my husband wanted when we returned the next day. On day two we got the lunch sampler that comes with schnitzel, bratwurst, German meatball, fleischkase (German deli meat), and spatzle. Everything was super delicious as well! The German meatball tastes like a juicy burger patty, and fleischkase reminds me of a spam with a soft, tender texture. I also got the Saturday special, which was roasted pork (schweinebraten). The gravy was delicious, but the roast pork was really really dry. This was probably the worse item of our meal, but it was still edible. We also got a cowboy strudel from the bakery and we ate the entire thing despite it being such a huge pastry. It contained cheese, bacon, beans, and sausage. Yum! They also had a huge assortment of other saliva-inducing pastries that we unfortunately didn't have enough stomach for. I'm super jealous as I write this review of all the Corpus Residents who get to frequent this place! Highly recommend! read more

Comfortable ambiance and amazing German food! Friendly wait staff and a bakery to die for.

So many Yummy baked goods!!! The German breakfast was Delicious!!! Reminded me of my breakfasts I would have in Germany!!

What a gem! Seriously wish something like this was near me. More authentic than many "German bakeries" in America that I've been to. Also, very reasonable prices, and they offer discounts towards the end of the day. I can only speak to the pastries, but from what I tried (Bavarian cream strudel if I remember right), it is more than worth a stop if you're in the corpus area. read more

Good Food. Good Service. The only thing missing is value for the money spent. We shared the Strudel which was good and my wife had french toast and I had a 2 egg omelet . No coffees mind you and with tip we spent our $40. This is more than we expected to pay for breakfast. The food was very good but we will go broke with $40 breakfasts. read more

Arrived Sunday morning on Juneteenth weekend planning to take some savory baked treats from JB's Today they were very short handed. I saw one server handling the entire restaurant floor. There were three or four parties waiting to be seated and nine others already seated but unbothered by the situation. Good thing I didn't come to dine in, I do not have that kind of patience. But I could see that the locals have respect for this place, even maybe affection, and tolerate things as they are. Anyway, I took away strudel, apple and blueberry cream cheese, and a cinammon roll. The German lady handled my order and cashed me out. She was so nice and hospitable with all her guests. I loved this place. A sign says they are looking for a line cook. read more

Went to corpus this past weekend and we stopped in for lunch. Unfortunately their credit card machine had just gone down so it was cash only. I had $7 cash and the guy kindly gave us 2 pastries for $7. An apple strudel and a chocolate croissant. The apple strudel was incredible, thinly sliced apples in a cinnamon buttery soft pastry. We adored it, the chocolate croissant was also very good! Well definitely stop in for lunch the next time we're in town read more

We decided to pick up some good German pastries and have lunch at this little restaurant. Unfortunately their business has been impacted by the reworking of Everhart at Staples, but keep your patience as you wind through the construction because it is worth the wait. The restaurant is large, clean and airy with lots of strudel, cookies, cakes, pies, pastries, rolls and breads displayed for sale. We sat at a large table and studied the expansive menu for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is served all day (restaurant closes at 2:00). We ordered the daily special of six little bratwurst on sauerkraut and jagerschnitzel with mushroom gravy, red cabbage and spatzle noodles. Yum! Everything was tasty and well-prepared. We purchased several baked items on the way out. Service was friendly and accommodating. We will be back!!! read more

Haven't been since they moved from the island. Still as great, just more space. We ate outside because we had puppies with us, and the service was great. Good, basic, super tasty and reasonably priced food. Just like I remembered. And the dessert cases!!! Only four stars since the outside area was pretty basic. Can't wait to be back in town to go again!!! read more

Stopped her for lunch on Friday just to try something different. Overall, it was ok. (There is a German place in Beeville that' is much better). The portions here were large. The flavoring was average. The jeager gravy was needed to give the schnitzel flavor. The German meatballs were dense without much seasoning. I joked with my wife that I couldn't recall the last time I added pepper to a dish. Their spätzle was different than I've had or made. Tiny pieces but they were charred a little for added flavor. Their bakery items are top notch but this review is based on the lunch we had. read more

Pulled onto the parking lot and saw no cars. Looked inside and saw no one eating breakfast. It was the time change weekend. Immediately suspect. Thought maybe they were closed on Sundays. Felt adventurous, so I went in. Not disappointed. In fact, was quite impressed! Had the pfannkuchen with apples and a side of scrambled eggs. A grand slam home run! Will definitely be back when I'm in the area to try the schnitzel. Moral of the story? Don't judge a place by an empty parking lot and no diners inside. read more

We'd picked up great pastries many times at their old location on Padre Island. The new location is much bigger and better and we decided we needed to partake in a lunch and we're glad we did. My wife enjoyed her lunch sampler, 1/2 of a bratwurst, 1/2 of a fleischkase, 1/2 of a meatball and her fave...1/2 of a schnitzel....I loved it too. She had the German tater salad...yum. Our buddy got a schnitzel burger on a sourdough bun...she loved the slices of cucumber on it. I had to try the brisket strudel, it's been on my bucket list for a while...wow was it good, it came as a combo with a slice of apple strudel, also amazing. I enjoyed a cup of chicken soup. We stopped at the display cases and got some tasty gingerbread cake with icing for me and our neighbors. We'll be back for more goodies. read more

This bakery was sooo good. I loved all the pastries they were so flavorful and just baked to perfection. The breakfast strudel was delicious but I have no idea what was inside of it because it didn't say. Also I asked for water from the waitress and she caught an attitude which was so weird lol. I also tried to flag down the waiter and he thought I was waving to him LOL again weird read more

We came here for breakfast hungry like the wolves. Everything looked good from the menu, but since it was our first time here, we picked the Brunch Plate for Two A La Germany. To me, it's a steal for the price. It includes free refill coffee, OJ, yogurts, eggs, a basket of yummy bread, different kinds of cheese and cold cut/ham. My favorite though was the sweet pastry. It was light, not too sweet, and the center is slightly chewy. I wish they gave us 2 of those! Like I said, we were very hungry that morning, so we cleaned the plates to our server's delight. Our server was very accommodating by the way. I asked if they had iced coffee since I didn't see it on the menu. She immediately replied that they could make one just for me. We bought some bread and apple strudel to-go before leaving. read more
