If you like authentic German/Austrian food, then this is the place. Shnitzls, sausages, etc. Great atmosphere with Oompah band playing and outdoor biergarten in the back. Food was great, service very attentive, and huge beer selection read more

This place is just too cute! The food is awesome and service is decent. Just can't say how quaint, cozy and yummy this place is. I had the paprika schnitzel and my husband had one of the wursts (not sure which one, it had spicy cheese inside) both were great. Even the kids' chicken fingers and fries were surprisingly good. They also have a good reasonably priced beer selection. This is definitely one of my favorite new go to places! read more

The food was descent but portions seemed small. We got the dinner special which was a sausage sampler and it was smaller than the appetizer option, which was less expensive - weird. The bread pudding was okay but a bit on the dry side despite having it drenched in the sauce. Overall, not bad but also not the best I've had! read more

Jorg's Cafe Vienna - Pretzel appetizer and dinner special: sausage sampler - German Near Me - Plano, Texas

Amazing authentic Austrian food. Wonderful warm atmosphere. Takes me back to the Alps and many fond memories there! Highly recommend this place. Every item is fantastic! read more

First time eating German food. Good customer service and generous portions. A bit pricey but overall a very good place. Would be perfect for a small family occasion. read more

I haven't had German this good since before my grandmother died. You can taste the love and care in every bite of this family recipe flavor. They even carry authentic German beers and wines! I highly suggest you start with the pretzel and the bratwurst plate. I normally order extra pretzels just to finish the spread that comes with the appetizer. The daily special is also one of my go-to's because the dishes always feature fresh, unique flavors. read more

Shouldn't even be rated a 1 star. No parking, warm Austrian beer only, food is over priced, very poor attitude from the owner Jorg. Do not waste your time unless you are from Austria. read more

My husband and I decided to try out old historic Plano and try to find a gem. We did with this place. The appetizer, the pretzel bread, was.. legendary. It was amazing. I asked the waiter (who was attentive, fast, and awesome) what the best dish to try was and he brought Oma's Schnitzel. The paprika cream sauce was so good I wanted to lick the plate. This was an amazing meal, amazing environment, amazing service - please go eat here and keep this guy in business. The meal was fast, and the portions were generous. read more

Wonderfully authentic German food and great atmosphere. Derrick, the bar tender and son of the owner is a great host!

This is hands down the best place for an authentic Austrian meal. Everything on their menu is a must try and their dishes are paired perfectly. If you request to substitute your red cabbage for something else, just know, you are only hurting yourself because this is probably the best red cabbage you'd ever have the chance to eat. The location is small and offers a really nice hole in the wall experience, even when they are busy... which is most of the time because this place is great. The prices are kind of high, but you are getting a quality meal. These people don't use large distributors for their plates. So if you don't want to pay for quality, I've heard that Mickey D's offers a bomb $1 menu. The whole staff is great and you will get a true European style experience here. My only complaint would be in regards to the young guy that is usually behind the bar. He sure does lack knowledge about good espresso and he really has a sorry excuse for a goatee. He's probably never visited Italy, but either way, this place is great! read more

My wife and I have eaten at Jorg's for years. The food is consistently very good and authentic. I've been to Germany more times than I can count and Jorg's matches my favorite restaurants from Berlin to Bavaria. Jorg and Cathy add that special element to our dining experience by always making us feel that we are important as customers and that we are amongst friends. The wait staff is always friendly. read more

If you can tolerate extremely long wait for pricey food and drink, this is the place for you. Too bad. It's a cute place and the waitresses are young and gorgeous. Ours apologized up front for long wait for food. She wasn't kidding! I'd review the food but it hasn't arrived yet. Will try Bavarian Grill next time as suggested by another reviewer. Wait. Here comes our food.... Delicious! So I added a star. Gotta be patient to enjoy Jorg's. Wife is annoyed so won't be returning soon. read more

This place captures the flavor and feel of the Austrian/Hungarian region. The food here is unbelievable. Period. Oma ' s Paprika Schnitzel ......awesome. read more

The food was awesome and the service fantastic. Great atmosphere also. We really enjoyed it.

Exceptional food and magnificent service! Waiter (George) was very well versed and familiar with the flavors of the foods and drinks, and helped us have a great experience. read more

Been going there for quite a while, great food , great wait staff, family owned and operated. ...how lucky Plano is lucky to have such a great restaurant ..... Their Grilled Pork Chop sp. Wow !!! Their menu n authentic Bavarian style beer...off the charts....thanks Jorge! !!! The American dream is still alive, I always feel welcomed at Jorge's Cafe !!!!! read more

We had so much fun going here!! It was refreshing to try something new from the usual hamburger joint. The food was amazing, we got the Schnitzel and Bratwurst sliders and they were delish! I brought my two year old here and it was the perfect setting to bring along a little one. The only reason why it didn't get 5 stars is because our table was near the entrance and it got really crowded where people were coming in and waiting for a table. Overall, great place! read more

We have been to Jorg's many times through the years he has been there. We love the space, the atmosphere and usually the food. Tonight was very disappointing. Oma's Paprika Schnitzel with pork was overcooked, tough and surprisingly flavorless. Unfortunately I was starving and ate some of it. I mostly ate the spaetzle and cabbage but it was so busy we could not get the attention of our waiter. When she finally asked how we liked our food, I told her but she stated I ate too much for her to ask for them to replace it. I had eaten about 1/4 of the schnitzel because I was famished and I mostly ate the sides. Since I was stuck with it, I ate it but will not go back. I normally love the dish with that richness of the sweet paprika but it just was not there tonight. And the hesitancy to even try to correct the situation made it worse. read more

Everything we ate here was super good! My grandmas has been looking for good German food and has yet to find something to fill her craving. Jorg's did it! The wurst sampler was delicious, the schnitzel and Spatzel noodles were delicious, and the Black Forest schnitzel sandwich was amazing! The tiramisu is the best I think I've ever had, but the bread pudding we got was my favorite! All in a super cute downtown area. We're already planning on stopping on our next trip through town! read more

Having been going to Jorg's for over 5 years. Exceptional and authentic Austrian/Bavarian cuisine with great selection of beer on tap and bottle. Always in demand and unless you go mid-week be prepared to wait, but worth it. Only recommendation would be to take portion sizes back to what they were about a year ago. If you have 6-8 people you can get a reservation but over or under that you will have to wait. read more

Awesome food ! We thought it would be bland schnitzel but wow what a nice surprise. Food is locally sourced and fresh - they are happy to tell you the ingredients - and they support gluten free ! read more

Jorg's Cafe Vienna - Great food ! Come n get it ! - German Near Me - Plano, Texas

This is my second review of this place. To be fair, I consider Jorg a friend. I first went into his restaurant 10 years ago and he's remembered me since. I appreciate small, family-run businesses, so it is easy for me to root for Jorg's Cafe Vienna. That being said, I am not an idiot. I demand a lot from the restaurants I visit...and Jorg never disappoints. Need a recommendation? I would suggest the whole menu, but if you want me to be more specific, here are a few favorites: The pretzel with mustard and cheese spread is to die for, as is the goulash soup. I usually treat my guests to the wurst teller (sausage sampler) for an appetizer, but I always add a KaseKreiner (veal sausage with cheese INSIDE the sausage) to the plate. This is a dinner selection, but Jorg will give you a shared appetizer serving if you ask. The bratwurst sliders are perfect and usually substitute for a main course when I order them. However, my favorite entrees at Jorg's are either the goulash (a heartier version than the soup complete with the best spaetzle you've ever eaten) or the Schnitzel Wiener Art (traditional fried schnitzel...veal is my preference over the pork or chicken) with a side of Oma's sauce (cream sauce with smoked paprika). The Kassler Rippchen (smoked pork chop) is equally incredible. For dessert, eat the surprising tiramisu, which is the best I've ever had. You would never expect it from an Austrian restaurant...but it is that good. Finish your meal with schnapps and an espresso. Ask Jorg to give you a recommendation on the schnapps. He'll give you a perfect selection. As I mentioned, I've been fortunate enough to get to know Jorg over the years. Every time my girlfriend and I walk through the front door, he (his son, his wife, or anyone else there) is a gracious host. Sooo...to the point of this post. To those of you who have posted negative reviews of Jorg's, I say thank you. You are idiots, but I thank you nonetheless. Jorg takes care of his customers and his employees. He is also unabashedly direct. If you respect him, his family and his his restaurant, he is the best restauranteur you'll ever meet. However, if you are a malcontent, with an axe to grind, he will treat you as such. The negative reviews I've seen here are, for the most part, ignorant. If they chase away other idiots, then that is fine by me. Jorg is doing very well, thank you very much. And for the thousands of us who love his restaurant, the fewer morons who enter his front door, the better. read more

Just found this place a few months ago and am so glad. Really good food! If you don't know the cuisine, don't worry; they have something you will like! Entrees are very filling and potato salad is fabulous. Each time I've gone the waiter has been very knowledgable and helpful. Inside is charming and welcoming. It's nice to know there is an actual chef--not just a cook--in the kitchen making each entree individually. This might account for a wait, but is soooo worth it! Not like going to a chain and they warm up pre-prepared food. There is a great selection of beer and wine and the desserts are to die for. read more

Delicious food and great service! I think next time I'm in for lunch I will substitute the fries for some Spatzle.

SO GOOD!! Pretzel appetizer was perfect level of soft inside and crispy outside, right amount of salt and warmth. BF got the original schnitzel and I have no idea what mine was called, but it was veal with a caramelized onion cream sauce and spätzle and potato salad-all of it was GREAT and very sizable portions. Awesome selection of Austrian and German beers on tap. The apple strudel wasn't the best, but we also got the bread pudding which was fantastic and a great ending to a great dinner! Emily was our waitress and she was the absolute best-very attentive, high energy, gave great recommendations, just made everything more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this place for a fun casual low key outing. read more

Just wow! Been a fan of the bavarian grill for the past decade but this is now my goto place even with the odd hours it's totally worth it. In the past month I've had just about everything on the menu and I'm always amazed at how consistent and on point everything is. Then there are the deserts I've had everything but the creme brulee and there isn't one I wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

Everything we ordered was excellent. Great service. Warm, cozy atmosphere. Small restaurant, so make a reservation or get there early.

Love this place. Always welcomed with open arms by Jorg and his family. The food is always good and there are beers that are not what you find in most places like this. Great atmosphere and always friendly. They even have an Austrian butcher that makes all of their sausages and cuts their meats, and I can honestly say it's great. read more

The food and atmosphere were good, but overpriced. Probably won't be going there again. We prefer the Bavarian Grill in Plano.

By far, one of the best german/austrian food places I've ever tried! I love german food too! Its a quaint little cafe located in the heart of downtown Plano. The shops and other restaurants around the small downtown area leave you with a mayberry feel to it. read more

This place is the real deal. Once you walk in, you think " this is how it should look/sound/feel in an authentic German/Austrian restaurant". I am from Germany, and this is one of the first of the German cafes I felt the wonder of home. There are great pictures and memorabilia all over the walls and even traditional Austrian music playing all throughout the day. Everyone who works here is very kind and informative. The owner, Jorg, frequents the cafe daily and is happy to chat with you in between his regulars coming in and having their bar talks. Now, I am a vegetarian, so my review for the traditional wursts and such are nonexistent. However, they won me over on their vegetable plate. For around $8, you choose from three sides on their menu. I chose the house salad, Austrian Potatoes, and the coleslaw. It was all very fresh and bursting with flavor. We started with the pretzels, which you absolutely HAVE to order the Kärntner Liptauer Cheese for spreading. Just do it and you won't regret it. My fiance and his father are big into this kind of food and they absolutely adore this place, frequenting it at least once a week. Come to Jorg's for the food,feel,sight,sound,and hospitality. How can you go wrong with that? read more

I ate at this restaurant this weekend and was thrilled. I have been to Austria and Germany and haven't had authentic food like it in the states, especially here in Texas. I had the Jager Schnitzel and the sauce was out of this world, and the meat was great. The beer and Austrian schnapps brought me back to Vienna. I also enjoyed the atmosphere, it was comfortable and fun. I didn't get to eat in the beer garden because it was full but next time I am definitely going to eat out there. I am so glad I found this place I will definitey be back and bring my friends. If you like real authentic food, it is the place to go! read more

I'm late for writing this review, but Jorg's was a great experience and I've found myself thinking of returning several times recently as well as frequently attempted to Google-find the totally awesome "how to take tea/coffee translation conversation" song that was on loop in the bathroom ("would you like milk, sugar?" in one language then another, etc), so decided even a long overdue review was a must. Met a friend who is half Hawaiian and half German here for lunch. Since she looks Hawaiian, one would never guess her to be fluent and very accustomed to life having grown up on Germany. On the other hand, this was my first time trying food from this culture - yes, I have been sheltered! She suggested various items and I ended up choosing the Jager Shnitzel and pommes frites. It was really delicious, although I don't have any precious experience to compare authenticity, I really, really enjoyed it. My friend chose another type of Shnitzel (I think it was pork with creme sauce) that came with spatzle and also had a type of potato salad as a side. She let me try some of each, just for future reference and I loved that, as well. The most telling of this visit is my friend's reaction. She is a "foodie" and will give an honest and blunt opinion and she said she very much enjoyed and that the food was very authentic to her experiences cooking the dishes at home, as well as growing up eating this cuisine in Germany. It was moderately busy when we came in. Enough people there that it was cozy and not cramped. We visited Jorg's during the week that we had snow. It was a Friday at lunch time and it was snowing big flakes, so not sure if the place is normally that way, busier or slower, but it was perfect for us. Also, due to the snow and chilly weather, we ate indoors by the bar, but our waiter let us take a peek outdoors so we could see it for planning a trip back when it was nicer. Speaking of the bar, we both ordered tall beers, I can't remember what kind, but thinking it was something close to the German culture and also on tap. Had two each and even after stuffing myself with my food (which I had to get a to-go box as such large servings), I got a good buzz! Had to stay a bit and force down a bit of my friends dessert before leaving! There were a few older gents and one lady drinking at the bar and conversing with the owner, I believe. They were all speaking in German and it was pretty amazing to lose myself for this moment of time and forget I was in Texas. I don't know if it was the buzz or atmosphere or mood, but I really and highly enjoyed my experience and "virtual" trip to Germany. Will be back! PS If anyone knows the bathroom "song", PLEASE DO TELL! That was kind of like the icing on top of the whole visit! read more

We have been going to Jorge's for years 3-5 times a month and today was Horrible! The owner has Ruined his own place. They have the same items with a new twist. The lunch & dinners are 1-side and then you order additional one's the prices have went up and so have the sides thus making the same dinner from last week about 20% to 35% more! $4.50 for a small side of sauce/gravy is a rip-off and the plates have changed and are thin and wide. This makes for a smaller portion even more of a Rip-Off. The schnitzel was pounded out so thin you could hardly tell what it was and one was a dark pork meat that was grisly. all,the portions and sides are smaller. This was a Huge Shock! The food was still good but we will not be coming back. We heard other patrons complain to the wait staff... read more

Amazing food and great atmosphere. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. We just kept ordering more food to try everything. The schnitzel of all varieties was excellent. The best part for me was a toss up of the Budapest Wurst or the Red Cabbage. Wunderbar!! We will be coming back often. Don't miss the opportunity to eat here. read more

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great accordian player... What was that last one? Yes I said accordian player. It was almost like we stepped into a neigborhood biergarten in Vienna. Cannot wait to go back. Even my pick eater wife had a blast. read more

Service is great at this restaurant! All the previous reviewers either caused the bad waiters to quit or the owners stepped up their game. Either way don't miss out on the amazing food and beer and this delightful restaurant. Fun street, fun restaurant, great vibe. Every employee was delightful! read more

Delicious weeknight dinner without the crowds. The pretzel appetizer with the cheese spread was delicious. Just enough to not stuff you before dinner. We tried 3 different draft beers and all were great. I prefer a colder beer, but perhaps the warmer temp is a cultural thing, not sure on that! We chose the classic original Wiener schnitzel and it did not disappoint. A side of spatzle and mushroom cream sauce, and we were set! My daughter devoured their take on chicken fingers (lightly breaded) with tasty fries. Overall a very enjoyable meal! read more

Excellent service!!! Joseph was our waiter and he was superb. Food was excellent. Quaint, fun, relaxing, good. A Don't Miss when you're even near Plano. Great selection of beers. read more

This is a great place with delicious food. I usually order the chicken schnitzel franz joseph. However, during my last visit, the sauce had changed, and the sauce is the best psrt of this dish. It actually had raw onions in it not sautéed. The sauce was Crunchy. I hope they correct as the former didh was perfect. read more
