Still going to this restaurant. Still loving it. Whether you like German food or love German food or just love great food. They have something for everyone. If you haven't tried, Kurt's it is a must. A cup of goulash is to die for. The service is outstanding on steroids. Very warm and inviting romantic setting. read more

I had been following Kurt's Bistro on Instagram since the Covid years, but hadn't had a chance to come out until recently. My initial impression was very poor. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation, but were told our table was already ready, so we were seated. (The restaurant tables are very close together, so be aware that if anyone in your party is wheelchair bound, it may be difficult for them to maneuver around.) The restaurant is kept very warm inside, and I'm usually someone who feels cold easily, but even I was rather hot. A woman brought water glasses and a water carafe to our table and said, "If you want something besides water, just let me know," and then walked off. So, in my mind, that woman was a food assistant or a food runner. Turned out, she was our waitress! She later stopped by, didn't introduce herself and didn't ask if we'd ever been there before, but did ask if we wanted an appetizer. We ordered Potato Pancakes. She also asked if we wanted bread service, so we said yes. We did notice from other conversations at the very close tables near ours, that many of the customers are regulars and have their favorite waitstaff. The manager had stopped by a table to regrettably inform a couple that their favorite waiter was out for 2 weeks. So, that did give us hope that if they have regulars, it must be good. The Potato Pancakes were delicious! (I didn't even stop to snap a picture because we were very hungry!) My husband ordered the "Bier" + Cheese Burger ($16.95), and I ordered the Pork Shank "Schwweinehaxe" ($34). The waitress said she had to check the availability of the Pork Shank, so I told her that if it wasn't available, to put in Chicken Wienerschnitzel. Then she didn't come back to let us know what the kitchen said. My husband flagged her down to find out if the pork shank was available, and she said she'd forgotten to come back, but that it was. He also told her that it was my birthday, so she brought out a cute birthday tea light for the table. The food was absolutely delicious, and for the price point, you can easily see why people are regulars there! The pork shank was enormous! (We ate off of it 2 more times after we took it home. The restaurant gave us extra gravy at no charge, too.) The rosemary mashed potatoes were very good! The presentation was lovely! My husband really enjoyed his burger. Then for dessert, our waitress brought out a slice of tiramisu with a wedge of chocolate cake over it, berries, whipped cream, and a little birthday candle in it. Turned out really wonderful! Will definitely go back to this unique spot! read more

This is such a cozy and authentic German restaurant in greater Atlanta! The restaurant is pretty small, so you feel really cozy when you are inside. The menu has lots of different German specialties. We shared the pretzel as a starter and it was very delicious, especially with the beer cheese. As a main, we shared the Bavarian feast, which was more than enough food for two people - I would say it can feed three no problem. I really liked the pork chop, bratwursts, and red cabbage. I also got a side of spatzle because I really enjoy it and it did not disappoint. To end the evening, we got the bananas foster, which came with a table side show to make the dish right in front of you. It was a very nice finish to an incredible meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a nicer dinner and to try German cuisine, which is not very common in the Atlanta area. read more

Always good food always great service. The restaurant is a little bit funky, but has a comfortableness to it like grandmas house a bit of a blast to the past. The pretzels are always fresh and hot and it's schnitzel is amazing a bit on the pricey side. read more

Kurt's Euro Bistro - Modern European Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

Hands down one of the best European spots I've been to! The food is solid and comforting, especially the currywurst sampler and the pork shank with perfectly crispy skin and tender meat. The Bavarian Feast for Two is great for sharing. The self-pour wine wall and beer flights make the experience even better. Don't skip dessert--we had the table-side Bananas Foster. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to. read more

My husband has been talking about this place since we met 3 years ago and we finally made it out to the restaurant to celebrate a new year/new job The service was excellent, I love when someone takes pride in their job and our server was so kind, funny, and helpful The star of the show was the FOOD! WOW! I ordered the wienerschnitzel with a beurre blanc sauce and spaetzl and it was so fresh, flavorful, and filling. I also had the goulash which was good but honestly I prefer the crappy American version with the noodles lol. My husband got the Schwarbien plate with a smoked pork chop, sausage, and double smoked bacon- I could eat a plate of that bacon by itself it literally melted in my mouth The ambience of the restaurant was a great mix of quaint and cozy while still being upscale Definitely going to keep this in our nice restaurant rotation read more

Amazing, authentic food made with love! The service is so friendly and welcoming (especially Sam & Alex). We love coming here! read more

The food is really wonderful here with large portions! We had the mussels and wow, we were debating packing up the sauce and taking it home. It was SO GOOD. We even ordered extra bread to soak up all the goodness. We also got Kurt's favorite and cabbage and it was also so delicious and flavorful! The service was great and attentive and the place itself is very cozy. We can't wait to go back! My only gripe was how long it took for us to grab a table, as there is no host at the front. read more

Local, family-owned, consistent, excellent staff, great food every time. I've been here so many times with friends and it doesn't disappoint. Everything here is good even if you're not in a German mood, there are other choices to order. I recommend making reservations in advance. read more

If you haven't been, the best advice is "GO" and don't even think twice about it. Sam was our waiter, we absolutely recommend him if you want a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful. The restaurant is cozy, quaint, and since the owners are German (like my mother-in-law ) the restaurant is clean. We will visit again next time we have a hankerin' for German food. Sorry we didn't snap any photos of the food, it was too delicious to wait for a photo to be taken! read more

I really went in knowing nothing about this place so I had zero expectations. Walking in, it's like a cute little old fashioned looking place with alot of knick knacks which I liked the vibe of. I do feel like the look of this place appeals to an older crowd. Our server was less than great. He just didn't seem like he wanted to be there and as first timers, he really didn't answer our questions about the food. He was very indifferent and not very friendly. When we asked if there were cocktails, he did say they have a bar so we can request whatever we had in mind but he didn't have many suggestions and overall the interaction was awkward. We did the $110 three course meal for 2 people and honestly, I don't think it was worth it. We got the spätzle for our appetizer and it was really heavy and oily. The flavor was rich but I wouldn't eat too much because you'll be full fast. I got the Shrimp and Scallops and the pasta was the best part of the dish. The shrimp was good but the Scallops were a little overcooked so it had a slight rubbery texture. I will say yhe dessert did redeem some of this meal because the bread pudding was delicious. It was sweet, warm & fresh and was the best part of the meal. Personally, I wouldn't come back because there are plenty of places that cost just as much but the food is much better and service match. read more

Kurt's has been on my list for a long time and when the opportunity of a date night came up I suggested this one! We came during the weekday and well, we had a bit of a feast. I thought you would need reservations, so I reserved our table. It was pretty busy for a week night so I'm glad I did reserve just in case. The ambiance is more romantic, however there are tables that can seat more. There was a whole separate room that wasn't opened when I was there, but I could see the capacity of Kurt's increase when it gets busy. So for appetizers, we got the big pretzel along with the fondue for two. The fondue was nice as there were a lot of apples that came with it. The Bavarian pretzel was a lot, just the amount. If you love pretzels, for sure get it. The beer dip was tasty. For my main I got the Jaeger schnitzel. I got this knowing that I'll be back to get their pork shank. They did have it when I was there, but I wanted to save it for my next visit. Lastly for dessert... We were so full we couldn't stuff ourselves any longer! So we actually skipped that part of the meal. Overall though, I fully enjoyed my visit to Kurt's and can definitely see myself coming back. If you're looking for a European/German experience here, check this place out. read more

Service was great. I loved all of the flags that went around the outside dining area & the food was good/authentic. Some things for improvement: -on the menu it shows german sweet mustard but in fact, they don't sell that so they gave us spicy mustard & honey mustard instead - which we obviously didn't even eat. -the spatzle was great but it was swimminggggg in butter (I love butter but would've liked some of it to be drained out.) -the pretzel was baked to perfection minus the amount of salt it had on it & the beer cheese that came with it. read more

Food was great! All the German dishes were spot on. We loved the pretzel. Nice ambience server was okay. Prices are a tad high but it is quality high value food. Hard to find good German places in ATL. A must try read more

Pretzel: The pretzel and beer cheese combination was really good. Not surprising, it was really salty after several bites. Fondue: I enjoyed this a lot. Some fondues don't have the added alcohol, but this one did. It was a good balance in flavor. Jaeger schnitzel: I'm generally indifferent towards schnitzels, but the mushroom sauce did elevate this dish. Overall, I thought that the schnitzel was a bit salty, but I enjoyed it with the mushrooms and spaetzle. read more

I have been patronizing this restaurant for years and always enjoyed it. On my recent visit the service and the food were not the same quality, and I don't know why. When I left the owner was outside on a bench smoking - which I've never encountered before. Sadly, the evening did not live up to my expectations. read more

I came here for a birthday dinner date night and it was overall delicious with a nice, private ambience! The food was very rich and savory, so prepare your stomachs. Between my boyfriend and I, we split two apps, each got an entree, and split a dessert and we were so full by the end. My favorite dish of the night was the black forest spaetzle - it was super creamy and indulgent. My filet mignon edelweiss entree was also very soft and came with a lot of fun sauces. Everything else was also yummy but salty and heavy - my boyfriend had the schwabian platter which was an insane amount of meat - thick bacon and pork chop and bratwurst. Finally the black forest cake for dessert was nice and moist and sweet. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a fancier german food experience! read more

This restaurant is the closest thing to Germany in the area. My husband has been and he said it's just like the food they had there. It's a cute restaurant and I can tell that many of the customers are regulars here. The food was pretty good. For an appetizer we got the pretzel and beer cheese and an assortment of dips. The beer cheese was pretty good! We also got the snails. I've never had snails before but my father-in-law got me to try it. It comes with some potatoes on top and the snail on the bottom. Over all it was like a mushroom with mashed potatoes. Really good! We also got this flatbread that has sausage and balsamic. It was a hit for us! For dinner I got the classic Wiener schnitzel with some sauerkraut and it was delicious. It comes with a lemon, spatzle, and lemon butter sauce. I wish there was a little more spatzles but I was glad to have enough room for dessert. My mother-in-law got the make your own skillet and said that was delicious as well. We all got dessert. I tried the apple strudel and it wasn't my favorite I will say. It's very traditional European apple strudel so if you're looking for something super sweet, it's okay. My husband got the bread pudding and that was really good! My father-in-law got the Bananas foster and to our surprise the owner came out and made it himself. I will say, he is an older gentleman. He didn't really seem too thrilled to be there. He didn't say a word to us. The only thing he did was snap at an employee because not all the fans were on and the employee couldn't tell him why every other fan was on. That was kinda awkward to watch while he was getting ready to make that. Hence why I'm giving this a four star. The wait staff was amazing and they could tell us everything about the menu, but watching the owner treat an employee like that was disheartening. The wait staff honestly looked terrified of him. Considering this is the only place I could find that isn't an hour drive to Helen or Atlanta that has great German food, I wouldn't mind coming back. read more

Amazing food, great service, cozy ambiance. For appetizers we ordered the jumbo pretzel and the potato pancakes. The jumbo pretzel really is jumbo! And the three mustard sauces were so good! I can't tell which one is each but i really loved one of them and liked the other two. The potato pancakes were pretty good also but it had a slightly burn taste. Entree: we got Jägerschnitzel (veal schnitzel, mushroom sauce, German pasta) and it was amazing! Full of flavor and delicious! Our friend got Schwabian Platter and he loved it. For desserts, we got the Black Forest Cake and our friend got the Chocolate Mousse. Everything was delicious! We watched the table next to us ordering the Bananas a La foster and I think it was the owner cooking it in front of them (he looks like the drawing on the menu cover). read more

I had driven by this restaurant many times for years and was always curious about it. I finally made the decision to try it out. It looks like they take reservations but since I went on a Tuesday night I decided to take my chances and not make a reservation. We were able to get a table for 2 just fine with no wait. The service here is higher end so it definitely added to the experience. I was intrigued by their Table D' Hote option which was a pre-fixed menu for 2 with 3 courses at $110. Decided not to go for it, but think I will try that next time. Ended up ordering the classic chicken wienerschnitzel, traditional sauerbraten, Kurt's favorite, and banana foster. Ended up loving everything except the wienerschnitzel. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't my favorite since I've had better elsewhere. The European food here is elevated in flavors such as the red cabbage braised in red wine. I've had a lot of red cabbage before but not like that. Could eat that all day. The Hungarian goulash with the spatzle was delicious. And the banana foster was made tableside by Kurt himself which I thought was a nice touch. They even had a enomatic wine bar where you can sample different wines! Walking in the restaurant took me back to Central Europe. It made me think of all the restaurants I dined at in Slovakia and Hungary with relatives enjoying each other's company over a nice meal. It was elegant and made for a nice date night. Everyone dining just seemed happy to be there. I look forward to coming back with my in laws when they visit. read more

Great food. Good service. Atmosphere was ruined by a large table of two families. "Regulars," I was told. They must live in the restaurant because the parents, table nor waitstaff would do anything with the screaming toddler when sitting or running around. If you want the food get it to-go. It was our thirteenth wedding anniversary. They seem to not embrace guests that do not dine there daily. We spent around $300 on wine and food. We have not gone back and advise all to find better restaurants. read more

Let me just say that this is a review that is WAY overdue. When I was younger, my family and I used to frequent Vreny's Biergarten, which was the establishment (which coexisted with Kurt's River Manor) Kurt had prior to moving to this location towards the front of River Green. We always enjoyed the food and great atmosphere that came along with it. Luckily, Kurt's Euro Bistro still keeps the same vibe. My wife, 18-month old daughter and I ate there again a couple weekends ago for our 8th anniversary dinner. To start, we split the potato pancakes and the sausage skillet. This is a great way to start if you want a sample of authentic German cuisine. For my main course, I went with the Salmon L'sace. I've chosen this a couple of times and it never fails to please with its perfectly cooked salmon, bacon and fresh sauerkraut (love the way they cook the sauerkraut here). My wife and daughter both got the chicken schnitzel with spaetzl noodles. The picture shared is my daughter's portion, which I appreciated them accommodating for her. Although we opted for the Crème Brûlée for dessert this time around, I would have to say that our favorite is the bread pudding. It has the perfect hint of brandy in the sauce and is ideal to share. I'm glad I finally got around to this review so I can thank Kurt for all of the great memories over the years. Thank you, Kurt! read more

My first visit here and it was fantastic! It certainly won't be my last. Family owned with unique menu options along with its quaint decor make this a really interesting date night. There were 4 of us so we got to sample a little bit of everything and it was all delicious. The service was personable and just the right amount of help without being overbearing. Kurt the owner had just left but his son Alex made our bananas foster and gave us some history while he prepared the buttery deliciousness! I'm giving Kurt's an A+ read more

Wonderful Service. Adorable place with so many interesting sitting areas & a beautiful bar. We shared the German Sampler Platter with the delicious pork chop, perfect bratwurst & sauerkraut, unbelievable bacon & of course mashed potatoes. Perfect !!! Our bartender took care of us & we ended up splurging for bananas foster. They prepared them table side & it was a pure treat!!! The locals at the bar & kurt, the owner kept us company. All this on a Tuesday night. read more

Service good but food terrible. I ordered the most expensive sampler and i could not get passed the first bite. Never again.

Overall, pleasing enough to consider coming back. The food was outstanding, aside from the dessert. We started with the charcuterie, which was basic, but good! I had the veal jager schnitzel, which was delicious. Perfectly fried and the mushroom sauce and spatzel was spot on! My guy had the tradition sauerbraten. The meat was really dry, but the spatzel and cabbage were great. We took some of dinner to go, so that we could have dessert. We got the crème brûlée and the Black Forest cake. The crème brûlée was ok, but skip that Black Forest cake at all costs. Still frozen in the middle. Dry and mealy. Save yourself the $12. Service was attentive, but I felt like they were walking on eggshells, so it was a little awkward. The ambiance needs a little update. Salmon colored walls with wood trim and fake grapevines covered the area where we sat and the front walk in is covered with tchotchkes, with a cat carrier outside for a stray cat. Not a deal breaker, just an observation that they are kind of resting on their laurels a bit, need a fresh pair of eyes to make it a little more inviting. read more

TL;DR - Nice atmosphere. The food is hit or miss. I still recommend you to give it a try. Found this restaurant through the Seated app. I got 32% of my total back as reward. If you check out the app please use my referral code: wen31 Walking into the restaurant feels like walking in a restaurant in a little European town. The restaurant is dimmed but the table is well lit. It provides you a calm and warm atmosphere. If you want to sit down and chat with a date while enjoying some tasty dishes, this is the spot for you. We ordered some mussels for appetizer. They are huge with a creamy and buttery sauce. Have at it with the bread. Dipping those bread into the sauce makes me forget about the actual butter that comes with the breads. Unlike mussels from other places, this is not salty at all. I almost want to take the leftover soup to go. Truffle Fries - it was the biggest disappointment. No truffle flavor/taste at all. Stay away from it!! Kurt's favorite - A little bit on the salty end. I would not recommend this dish if you are trying to take a normal amount of sodium daily. Pork Shank - can be ordered ahead. Might be out if late at night. Super crispy on the outside!! The serving is huge. We should not order the second entree. This can easily serve two people. With a big portion meal and a great environment, I recommend you give this place a try! read more

This place blew me away. From being greeted at the door by the owners, the comfortable ambiance, Kurt's likeness on the wine glass, the AMAZING food, and finishing off with Kurt doing tableside bananas foster. We shared the escargot and the spaetzle black forest starters, and all sampled each other's main dishes - the classic weinerschnizel, the ripchen pork chops, and the edelweiss filet. All were amazing. The filet was cooked perfectly and came with a selection of sauces. Both the veal and the pork chop entrees were HUGE and we brought home leftovers. For desserts we ordered the bananas foster, the creme brulee, and the chocolate mousse. Though the menu describes the mousse with sponge cake layers it was actually wafer layers - light and delicious. Can't wait to go back, I really want to try the pretzel, the pork shank, and the bread pudding. read more

We visited Kurt's Euro Bistro Friday, April 22, 2022 for the first time with our neighbors. This 3-star review has both good and bad experiences. First of all, the food was exceptionally delicious. Everything was hot, seasoned well, and perfectly cooked. Here's where it gets weird... We were the youngest table in the restaurant (I'm 43). Our server screamed every time she spoke to us. I think she was so used to speaking loudly to the older crowd, but quite literally yelled the specials to us. This happened every time she came to the table. On the positive side, you never had to ask her to repeat anything! Our friends ordered fondue as an appetizer. They only finished half because they had both ordered huge meals. The server packed it up for them at the table. Them she used her BARE hands to pack up the apples and bread. As we are eating dinner, I see another server cleaning/resetting a table from previous diners. Instead of changing out the table linen for a clean one, he simply flipped it to the other side! Lastly, our friends went on and on to our server about how good his meal was and told her that she needed to try that dish. He was referring to her ordering her own at some point in time but instead, she says OK, reaches down onto his plate, grabs a piece, and eats it!! The chef at Kurt's Bistro is killing it, but the staff certainly needs some training and etiquette. Might be a while until we return... read more

We had been meaning to go to this place for a long time after hearing about it from our friends. With being Oktoberfest we decided it was time. We arrived at 4:45 pm for an early dinner on a Friday without a reservation. We were seated in less than two minutes. The menu has many options to choose from. We started with a pretzel and beer cheese which came out perfectly soft and with three different mustards on the side. For the mains everyone had veal Jager schnitzel. The serving portions are absolutely huge and you will likely need a to go container or four hours to digest everything. We wanted dessert but there was no room. The place has a cozy atmosphere and a fun night at the bar with a pretzel would be a great casual way to wrap up a week. read more
