Really love the food here. Sahm's is the best local chain and this restaurant met our expectations and would highly recommend. All of their restaurants have a great consistency to them. The service was very quick and prompt. At all their restaurants the staff is friendly and this one was the same. I had a German beer. It was very malty and good and was priced reasonably. I had bratwurst that came with potatoes and sauerkraut which tasted amazing. I would highly recommend trying them out and we will be back! read more

'Twas a guten Morgen (good morning) on a kalten Tag (cold day), and I was on my way to Broad Ripple's Winter Farmer's Market- which is hosted at Liter House. Greeted by a great big "Willkommen" at the entrance, I immediately felt welcomed. The host directed me to the room where the seasonal market is held, and invited me to have breakfast afterwards. I'm so glad I did. Liter House is typisch Deutsch American style liter haus opened July '18. The blue checked wall paint echoes the waving Bavarian flag. This place is family friendly and they host monthly movie night. Liter House is a big space, but the rooms are good for events, or for private parties too. The menu: Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, and Beer are the highlights. I ate the Spicy Shakshua (veg), and I loved it. It's heavy chilli tomato sauce is paired perfectly with poached egg, feta cheese and micro greens. The garlic bread gremolata is from the farmer's market, and the also feature a Farmer's Market Special (limited supply). It was early, so I didn't have a drink. However, I'll definitely return to try the beer. There's a rotating seasonal selection, as well as cider, cocktails, and other spirits. I look forward to what's to come! read more

We had a girls night before a show at Butler. Liter House was great as they take reservations and there is parking on site. I ordered the Mr Balloon Hands first but ordered the skin that smoke the wagon after and much preferred that. One of the girls had the on your left and that was amazing as well. The rouladen was amazing. Great flavor and a large portion. read more

Updated Review: popped by for brunch while visiting the winter farmers market - I got a birthday cake waffle special. It was super tasty and cute - I recommend spitting it with a friend as it is very sweet (and this is coming from a crazy sweet tooth person). It came with a cute little candle so you could pretend it's you special day! read more

This was quite possibly the worst service I have ever experienced from a new restaurant/bar competing in a market for customers. First, this beautifully-designed restaurant boasts the blue Bavarian diamond flag and professes to be a "Hoosier Family-Owned Brewpub. Kid Friendly!" establishment that opens at 0900. Our party of five, in our FC Bayern München jerseys, were meeting up w/the Indianapolis fan club to watch the game at 0930. The club had coordinated with the Liter House to ensure the game was shown live and we connected our local friends with the fan club. Today the last Bundesliga matches decided the German champion and qualification for the 2019-20 Champions League. In other words, today was a big deal if you are German and/or love international soccer. A manager at the hostess station said our children were not welcome in the bar area to watch the game and that the restaurant w/TVs was not open until 1000. He offered a place that was next to the bar with a limited view of a TV -- the kids would have to stand to actually see it -- but they were not even broadcasting the FC Bayern v. Frankfurt game and had no way to stream it. We asked if we could sit in the restaurant while the staff was setting up -- the manager told us no. Another manager then came out and told us he didn't mind if we sat in a side room and he tried to turn on the game, to no avail. He then allowed us to sit in the restaurant area and turned on a TV that was showing a different soccer game. We called the Union Jack who said kids were welcome and they would stream our game. We left with the other members of the fan club and enjoyed the game, food and drinks at the Union Jack. We hope our Indy Bayern friends find a solid home for their growing fan club. We are spoiled by good service at the family friendly restaurant that provides a steady stream of fresh Paulaner Bräuhaus Weißbier and hosts our FC Bayern fan club in DC. In turn, we bring 30-100 loyal patrons for ~50 league and national games a season, mostly on early Sat. mornings and Wed. afternoons. Be warned -- Liter House is advertising the UEFA Champion's League Showing on 1 June, if you buy tickets for $15 (incl. buffet). However if the local affiliate doesn't air the game, you won't be able to actually watch it (unless the restaurant invests in a streaming stick). There are two nice things to say about Liter House: the bartender today was friendly and she helped us find the right beer and tried very hard to find the game on TV, along with the second manager; and the decor is absolutely beautiful, new, and contemporary German. We love to travel and were thrilled to try a new restaurant -- especially a Bavarian-themed one --- but every member of the Liter House management team needs to be invested in providing genuine hospitality and, as pretentious as it sounds, welcoming to the generous, passionate, beer and non-beer drinking patrons of the most successful and dominant club in German football history with the largest fan membership club in the world.

Stopped in for lunch from out of town during a business trip. Greeted warmly at the door and directed to pick any table for service. I ordered their Berliner Weiss and a 3 meat platter with 2 sides. Being a business traveler and an experienced bbq eater, here is my assessment: Sliced Brisket - (B) Good quality meat. Very little smoke flavor or seasoning. Mild beef flavor. Cooked between moist/fatty (my favorite) and dry. Ribs - (B+) Tender. Nice smoke flavor. Good ribs. Smoked Catfish - (A+) Star of the show. Nicely seasoned Cajun/Old Bay/seafood style. Super moist and flaky. Nice smoke flavor. Amazing. Green Beans - (C) Not bad but kind of an "off" flavor after being cooked in meat "scraps" and liquid. Collard Greens - (A+) Cooked tender with an appropriate "bite". Sweet and vinegary at the same time. Delicious. Paired well with the sweet and tart Berliner Weisse beer. Ambiance is super cool (will be amazing in the beer garden in the summer) and service was smiling, friendly, and efficient. Can't wait to go back when returning to Indy. If you're local, you're lucky. Get there! read more

Are you just off a European tour and you're craving the German dining experience without the language barrier and different cultural norms? Do you really want a good German-style beer without import tax? Do you want German food but don't want the fine dining prices/experience from the Rathskeller? Well, jump on the Monon and head into the Liter House! While I can't speak to the food yet, I did sample some of their half liters of their Kölsch and Oktoberfest, all brewed by Big Lug. Both were very enjoyable and well priced. The menu looks great and I really look forward to trying the reasonably priced German-inspired entrees and appetizers. The interior is a marked improvement from the unfinished feel of the previous occupant (The Bent Rail). The decor is very comfortable and modern, if not a little dark for my tastes. The addition of the Liter House is a definite asset for SoBro area and for the entire Monon corridor. I recommend that anyone passing by drop in for a great German experience. read more

First, I have to give 10 Stars for their customer service, from the owner to the managers to the staff. Everyone we've dealt with has been awesome. Our first visit was not great, but after reading our post the owner personally invited to come back and sent a gift card. So, we finally made it back. This was our second visit and was a much better experience! We were able to get a seat in the bar quickly and could order from the full menu. According to our bill our servers name was "Cocktail", but we found out it was really Brandon, and he was great. This time we came in knowing that the menu is "German inspired", not "authentic German" and we enjoyed it much more. The pretzel is now bigger and saltier (that's a good thing). The Veal Shank was excellent! It was plenty of food to easily split. The Halibut was very good too. Next time we want to try a burger. Oh yes, there will be a next time! Auf Weidersehen! read more

Another Sahms concept, this time German inspired. Former brewery made into upscale restaurant with a limited but interesting menu. I had a German Pilsner which was very good. We shared fantastic sauerkraut balls with a mustard sauce that was outstanding. Shared shishito peppers with a quark sauce(cheese) also great. One of us had the tomato cucumber grilled peach salad and loved it while the other declared the beet salad yummy. I had the Texas brisket goulash which was very flavorful albeit quite smoky. Delicious! The dessert menu looked intriguing but were too ful from all the tastes we were enjoying! More to try in the menu so will return perhaps by bike as just off the Monon. read more

THE definition of five stars. The beer? Incredible. The food? Delicious. The atmosphere? Amazing. They take risks with food that most places won't and every plate I tried was killer. In my opinion, this is now the gold standard for breweries. This place will be a staple in Indy for a long time to come. Oh, and the wait staff could not be any friendlier. read more

Went for dinner last night and we decided to sit at the bar top since there was a wait and we had excellent service. For appetizers we had the pretzel that came with some delicious dipping sauces as well as the sauerkraut balls with meat. For entrees we had the German "no meatloaf" and the eggplant schnitzel. They were both very flavorful as well. The beer was good too I just wish the mugs would have been cold. Overall it was a nice place and we will be back. read more

I really like this place. I was very excited when they took over the old brewery and even more excited that their dog friendly patio will be open soon. They always have very interesting and well conceived food specials. You may have to step out of your comfort zone and try a unique twist on authentic German dishes, but it will be worth it. They also serve beer by the liter for $10 which is a fantastic deal. They make awesome beer too. read more

This place is pretty solid. Food choices and presentation are spot on. They have a good selection of beer and decent cocktails. It's not your typical German beer hall or beer garden. However, the German dishes with their own flair are delish. read more

Good and bad here. Enjoyed the interior, food was ok, service = meh. They should have a beef stroganoff option. I would prefer a poached egg on the potato latkes. Schnitzel was outstanding. Not too thin. Green bean "casserole" should be a cold weather staple on the menu (it was a special). I would return and give it another try and order some different items. read more

This was my first time at the Liter House, and definitely will be returning! What a cool place in Bripp, with a different style of food that is much needed in the area. I had the pretzel and Ryman sausage. Both amazing. Pretzel was perfect and the sauces were good as well. The Ryman sausage was unique, a little spicy, but oh so good. read more

Liter House - Ryman Sausage - Caterers Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Maybe I was a little underwhelmed because I was expecting it be the Rathskeller of the near northside, but it was not what I had envisioned. We'll start off with the good. It definitely feels like more of a restaurant now that they redid the inside of the building. There are a lot more decorations and there is definitely a theme throughout. That being said, it was a lot more closed off than I expected. It was busy on a Sunday evening and it just felt cramped. That big conference room off to the side took up over half of the place it felt like. Once the beer garden opens in the back I think it will feel a lot bigger. The beer: We tried several of the beers that they make in house and like them all! I enjoyed the English Brown the most and all of the 3 beers on the horizon that they had on the menu look like ones that I will be back to try out. The moms had a couple of the cocktails and enjoyed them. The Food: We started off with the sauerkraut balls and the pulled pork corndog balls. The Cornwurst balls were delicious. The sauces that came with them were great and the pulled pork inside was very tasty. I was not as big of a fan of the kraut balls as other people have seemed to be. They were just a weird consistency inside and I could have used more density. Another person in our group go the peppers and was not a fan. I got the Burger as my entree and it was very good! That is something I would definitely order again. The Currywurst was also very tasty. I feel like the bratwurst was a little dry or something. It just seemed like it needed a bit more. The Staff was great, and our waiter was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be heading back here in the future. They don't take reservations, but they do take call-aheads. We were a party of 8 and called the hour early like the wanted, but when we got there at the designated time they said it would still be about a half hour wait, which is fine. But when that half hour wait was up they seated us at two tables of 4 across the aisle from each other, so that wasn't the best setup for a family meal. That would have been the biggest thing I would change. I think this place has great potential and will be around for a while. I'm excited to get back! read more

Had lunch there today with another couple. Loved it. Atmosphere: Warm, inviting, beautiful and not crowded at all. Noise: Quiet and a great place for conversation. No loud anything in the background. Food: We all ate every bite. Appetizer pretzel was enjoyed by all four of us. It was huge with three dips. I had the special which was country fried steak, mashed potatoes and creamed greens. Well seasoned, properly cooked and delicious. The creamed greens were interesting with some kale and other greens. Hubby had the eggplant sandwich and fries. Fries were well cooked. Other couple each had the brat sandwich. Bigger brat than bun. Service: From the front door to the end, excellent. Calm, friendly and helpful. Everything worked well and we did not feel in any way rushed. We are already planning to return for dinner. Learned about their plans for a more casual spot next door to open soon. They also have an interesting breakfast on Sat. and Sun. read more

This is a unique addition to the Meridian Kessler food offerings. I've done a beer education class, Oktoberfest and brunch here and most recently a dinner special. I really like the soft pretzel and cheese plate. The bratwurst is good, but not traditional German in my opinion. The beer is where they really come through - I find the Goat Ranch beer to be really tasty and pretty authentic to German beer. I'm really excited for the outdoor/back portion to open!! read more

Liter house is a fascinating restaurant. On the outside you have a glowing neon sign with an argyle backdrop that screams come here and get drunk and stuff your face with fried pork and kraut. On the inside you have a closer to upscale dining room and bar that says you better k ow the difference between a salad fork and an entree fork. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but showing up in gym shorts and a tee made me feel a bit out of place place. Although the restraint staff did look like a week organized bowling team. The food was tremendous. For the first time I'm going to describe the food as multidimensional. Each bite is flavor packed and just keeps on coming. I personally stuck to the pork schnitzel which was placed over a hearty dumpling sauce. The prices may look a but high but it was well worth it. I would like to see some more friendly appetizers when the beer garden is finished. Something more casual that I could eat with my parent as the watch me down an obnoxious amount of beer at an absurd rate. read more

Another Sahm Masterpiece. I've been anxiously awaiting the opening of Liter House and my expectations were high, as I have been a long time fan of the Sahm's restaurants. We were greeted and seated right away at lunch time on Friday. Service was friendly, fast, on point. All food cane out the perfect temperature. We ordered the pretzel, sauerkraut balls, cornwurst, and fries as our appetizers. All were phenomenal. The sauces that come with the pretzel were delightful. The fries were on point. The curried ketchup and mustard seeds that came with the cornwurst perfectly melded with the pulled pork. I didn't try the sauerkraut balls, but my husband said they were amazing. He mentioned how all the dishes had such a harmonious balance, and that perfectly describes everything we ate. We also ordered both the pork and chicken schnitzel sandwiches with the spaetzel Mac and cheese and German potato salad. The sandwiches very tasty. Crispy. The potato salad was very flavorful. I didn't care for the Mac and cheese. It had a smokiness to it that I wasn't fond of. But that doesn't mean it wasn't good. It just wasn't for me. Lastly we ordered the Shokolade and Platzchen for dessert. Both were out of this world. The Shokolade is heavenly chocolate cheesecake. The Platzchen, an amazing shortbread cookie with jam. I highly recommend both. I will return again. And again. And again. read more

This is my second time visiting the Liter House. The first was a side-trip off the Monon Trail for dinner and beers. There is just something about ordering beer by the liter or half liter that makes a place different and fun. Today was a stop for lunch. Waiters and waitresses were fabulous on both visits. The brewmaster is super fun and entertaining. The beer was great. Today we split the Frikadellen Hamburger with fries and it was plenty for two people. I'm not always a fan of pretzel buns but I absolutely love this burger on a pretzel bun. I'm also always a big fan of farm to table. I haven't taken my teens there yet but it will be one of our upcoming outings. My daughter will be happy to see a vegetarian burger on the menu. If you are looking for another outdoor patio venue Liter House is working feverishly on theirs. Can't wait for it to be finished because it will become a favorite spot I'm sure. Cheers! read more

Definitely liked this place and will return. They seemed to be out of quite a few drink options, but what we were able to try was super delicious. They have a veggie and gluten free menu so that's cool. However, vegetarians, note that the "skate schnitzel" is not vegetarian - skate is a fish. It's a darker atmosphere in the dining area with a more well-lit bar. I feel like it's much more of a winter spot with heavier food and beer options, but outdoor seating would be cool in that area! read more

I went here for lunch today. I like how they have remodeled from the previous Bent Rail Brewery. Looked like multiple rooms for private parties in addition to great space for regular dining. We did the "build your wurst" which you could pick your style, your type of sausage, and the bun. Enjoyed both our picks and other things on the menu sounded good too. We tried 3 different cocktails and all were good. A good selection of beers, ciders, and wines is available too. Server was very friendly. I took a look at the dinner menu felt things were a bit pricey, but was happy with my lunch. read more

Met old buddies here for lunch. It's obviously a repurposed warehouse - I'm not a huge fan of the current trend toward 'industrial chic', but many others must as it's ubiquitous. I'm sure it's a less expensive remodel, but makes for poor acoustics. Decent beer selection. German themed menu. Selections were okay, but nothing outstanding. Sausages are good and bowl items were creative. Fraulein server was pleasant, funny and efficient. read more

I get it that weiss beer should be served in certain glasses. Same way koelsch should be served in small glasses. But at Liter House you get half or full liter. Fine by me. First off, really glad they have plenty of parking in back. With an easy to find sign how to get into the parking lot. It also backs up to the Monon trail and has plenty of bike parking. The ADA ramps to get in look well executed. Though I don't need them I remember when I fractured my tibia and had to get around on crutches and always like to see easy to access businesses. Inside it is kinda dark. But you have a great view of the distillery. The food is hands down delicious. Their beer mustard is the closest we have found to being German here in America. My hint to you is ask if you can buy a pint. They make it in huge batches and it is just so worth the price. We were here for lunch and they make a good assortment of sandwiches. We did not have room for dessert. But looking at the dessert menu - next time we will try it. #365 read more

You can hardly tell that Bent Rail was here. The new space is very warm and inviting at Liter House. The staff is friendly and the beverages were good. The food...was just ok. We started with the pretzel, which was really good. It was served with three different choices for dipping, beer cheese, mustard, and pimento cheese. My friend ordered the chicken wings. Super disappointed with the portion and the wings were skinny. He said he wouldn't order again. I ordered the fish fry. Boring flavor and a pile of tiny unappetizing pieces. I don't think we'll be back. read more

The food was really good but the service wasn't too great. The server was really pushy when asking for our order. We had a party of 7 and we were waiting in a few people and she was hovering and it was kinda annoying. I felt very rushed to make a decision but then she would never come back by. But the cider selection was great, I had the pear! And the pulled pork bites I had were different but I liked them! It was nice trying new stuff, never had German food before. read more

I visited to try the Devour options & I was impressed! The tomato bisque soup was absolutely delicious (probably my favorite thing!) and the burger was unlike any burger I had had before. It was incredibly messy & dripping grease, but definitely worth the splurge In addition to my meal, I had a beer flight as well, which came with four small glasses to try. I want to visit again to try some of their cider, which are apparently served in cans as they don't make them onsite. read more

We were very excited to have dinner with friends at Lier House. We love German food. The food was delicious!!! I had the Bruts dinner. My house had the dinner special. There were 8 of us, so we basically had one of each dinner. Again the food was excellent. But....the music was way too loud. Not a band but overhead music. And not good music either. Our waitress was so nice but....way to slow or disorganized. I've been a waitress. She kept forgetting who got what....use a note paid or something. I will get carry out but will not ever dine in again read more

Would have been 5 stars if not for the confusion. If you're a newbie or first timer-READ THIS. I happened upon Liter House this week out of lack of satisfaction with a different brewery in the same neighborhood. When we pulled up to Liter House I felt my dreams had been answered. FINALLY.... a fun, large, German centric menu and beer hall facility that I wanted to spend time at! The place has the best patio dining in all of Indy-hands down, and is very dog friendly, another bonus. Here's the problem- the amazing patio has an entirely different menu (southern BBQ) than the rest of Liter House, which leans towards German. There is ZERO mention of the BBQ menu anywhere on the website. If you gravitate to the beautiful patio, but say, want one of their delicious Bavarian pretzels or some schnitzel, sorry but you're "schnitzel" outta luck my friend! They refuse to serve the BBQ inside or the German food outside. It's like mid 1980's East/West Berlin. Spaetzels will be stopped at the door. We wanted the patio more than we wanted the kraut that night, so we ordered ribs and Mac and cheese. The ribs were above average and the Mac was decent. The atmosphere more than made up for it and our server was a hoot. The beer was also cold and delicious. I'd recommend this place, and have, to all all my friends. Just beware. If you are craving sun and sauerkraut, you'll have to choose like Sophie and decide which one you love more. read more

Great new German spot that was much needed in the SOBRO neighborhood. I went on a Sunday evening around 6:30. I made reservations on OpenTable for 3 people. Parking was available on the side and behind the building. Our table was ready and we were seated immediately. We started with some beer. You can get a half-liter (a little bit bigger than the normal pint) for $6 and a full liter for $11. Great deal! We ordered the meat sauerkraut balls. 2 balls were included but they were medium-large in size. For dinner we ordered the house bratwurst, pork schnitzel and hamburger. All of which were fantastic. I was surprised to see the lack of sauerkraut on the menu. I'm used to seeing sauerkraut as a side for every dish. This location opted for greens or fries. Another positive: they provide feminine products in the women's bathroom for free. Love it! THANK YOU! All in all, great place with a great menu. This restaurant will do well! read more
