I love this place the wait staff is always very nice and helpful with selections. I have been here several times. Their burgers are fantastic and very tasty they have a great beer selection and I always go back. They are one of my top spots in the Mobile area to go to. They are also Veteran and military friendly. read more

Loda Bier Garten - Beer Menu! - Burgers Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

YUM!!! I try to hit this spot every time I am in Mobile. Grab a pretzel with beer cheese, one of their awesome burgers, and don't forget to try a beer sampler. The atmosphere is great and I've never had bad service. Finish off your meal for a donut ice cream sandwich. That thing is heaven on a plate. Darn it, now I want to go back!!! read more

Ordered beers and she had to come back and confirm our order. Not a big deal. It happens. Ordered pretzels and nachos and got pickles and fries. This was after we placed our order and she never came back. Horrible. I'd try somewhere else. Garbage. read more

Wow. Had the sugar rush burger and it was the perfect blend of sugar and salt. Thoroughly enjoyed the massive selection of beers as well. A must visit while in town. read more

Excellent service. For beer lovers this is the place for you. The good news is they have 105 different beers on tap plus 95 different beers in bottles. The bad news is they have 105 different beers on tap which means most likely at least half of them were tapped over a month ago and in some cases many months ago. Also of the 95 different bottles of beer many of those will be out dated as well. I ordered the Duval Trappist beer in a bottle from Belgium which I've had many times and the bottle that I received was way old and I'm sure past it's drinkable date. I drank it but wasn't happy. The chicken wings were excellent. We had 3 different sauces and all were great. Prices for the delucious foodds seem fair. read more

Nice beer garden in downtown Mobile with a huge selection of beers and a great open kitchen. The food outside the burger looks ok but the beers are the stars of the show here. I had a few with some friends and with nice staff. read more

This was our first visit to Mobile, and I was in the mood for German food (not sure why). So we checked this place out. Well, despite "Bier Garten" being part of its moniker, there is only one German entree on the menu - Jagerschnitzel - so I ordered it. Turned out to be rather awesome, both in terms of quantity (huge) and quality (lightly battered, crisp, tasty). The German potato salad and braised red cabbage that came with it were excellent too. Their lineup of craft beers is quite extensive. Service was top notch. read more

Oh dear, where do I begin? Should I start with the fact that we waited 45 mins before requesting that they cancel our order since nothing - not even the appetizer arrived? No, let's start with what was ordered and specify that it was about 10:30p on Sat night and the place was 70% full... What was ordered? Pretzel Pizza, Veggie Burger, and Nachos. At almost 1 hour in waiting, we got a Flatbread pizza (not the pretzel one we ordered) since they ran out of pretzel dough and didn't let us know. Also, the burger arrived, but instead of veggie burger a patty made of fried Mac 'n cheese was used. Since we were starving we decided to eat it anyways but it was cold :/ The nachos came out at about 1 hour and 20-ish minutes - after the food mind you - and they were alright, but drenched in sour cream. In closing, we were there about 2.5 hours between waiting for food, food coming out wrong or not all (we tried to exchange the veggie burger for the right thing) but after waiting for 30 extra minutes and it nowhere in sight, we had it removed from the receipt. Bottom line, the environment is cool, the waitress was nice as well and let it be known the issues we encountered were being experienced by all other patrons around us. It wasn't the waitresses fault, but more like the kitchen was not operating properly and more so, the manager wasn't on the ball with that either which is a shame because it could be a really cool place to get bar food and drinks until 2am as most places in this area close around 10-11p. Maybe next time Bier Garten ::shouldershrug:: read more

Stick with the APPS! This was the tale of two courses. The appetizers were definitely the highlight of our lunch here. The boneless wings were on point, the pretzel bites were amazing, spinach artichoke dip tasted as good as mine and the dumplings were outrageous! The mac attack burger was lacking, the waffles on the chicken and waffle sandwich didn't stop steeping oil and the Spanish Fort Burger was meh. SO back to my original statement, stick to the apps and you will go away happy. read more

Went to the location in Cottage Hill and it took more then and hour for our party to get our food. We were a party of 8 but it was 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and very few others were there. Our server was just bad, she had her mask below her nose and she had zero people skills. The food was horrifically bad. Burgers were over cooked, fries were cold and the pretzel bites were swimming in grease! I personally tried the jagerschnitzel and it was completely unseasoned, the potato salad was mayonnaise based not German at all and the purple cabbage was so sweet it was inedible. So thankful we were not paying for our own food because what a waste of money. This place will not be in business much longer. read more

After an 11 hour drive from south Florida this place hit the spot. All we were craving from a non stop drive was some bar food and BEER! this place was it. Had the pretzel and beer cheese and it was A+ The loaded tachos fire! And when food came we were stuffedddddd haha Mac Attack was a solid combo. Thank you Cameron for the hospitality, this man went above and beyond to provide us with a great overall experience. Great job all around. read more

Very disappointed. Was in town for a concert (drove 11 hours from Miami, FL) and this place was right across from the hotel and figured we'd check it out. Took them between 45 minutes to an hour for getting our food to the table. We ordered a pretzel pizza and got a regular flatbread pizza. We also ordered a Veggie burger and got a Mac and cheese burger?!? Also, took another 20 minutes from when the ENTREE got here, to bring us out the APPETIZER. If I ever find myself in Mobile, AL again you can bet your ass I will not be eating here again. Extremely disappointed, was looking forward to the food given the reviews but I was sorely mistaken. read more

We stopped here along our road trip to NOLA. It's a fun dive-y bar stop right in downtown Mobile. The servers were great and so was the food. Recommend the homemade soft pretzels and the habanero wings! A good stop for anyone who's into draft beer and cider, they have over a 100 to choose from! read more

I and some friends came in around 1:00am after a heavy Friday night of bar hopping. It had a fun atmosphere but was pretty crowded; and one of the waitresses directed us up stairs, where one bartender was taking care of the entire room and the bar. Service was a bit slow, as the bartender was being overworked, but the food was pretty good and the aforementioned bar tender was very personable and attentive, considering. Overall, we had a good time and enjoyed the food, which was priced on what I would consider to be an average level. (Extra points for being open so late too!) read more

I've been coming to Loda Bier Garten for over 5 years but today will be the last day. As a fellow service industry worker for over 10 years I have to say that service is not their forte. My girlfriend did not like her nachos and the server was quick to let me know that they do not comp food based upon the guests taste (their policy). I shrugged it off and told him I didn't mind paying for the nachos but what really disturbed me was the fact that he came back to the table to assure me that his kitchen staff and dishwasher loved the nachos and would be finishing them for us. I am a kitchen manager and would NEVER let my staff eat off of a guests plate. The GUESTS keep your doors open. You are in the SERVICE industry, you should act like it. If it wasn't for the great location of this sorry establishment I doubt it would still be open based upon the other reviews I have read and the service and food quality we experienced tonight. Congrats Bier Garten, you lost another customer! read more

The food was excellent as always but if you don't tip a bad server enough they'll confront you outside the restaurant screaming and cursing about the low tip. The restaurant is a seat yourself first come, first serve, our group came BEFORE another group and she rudely told us that because they had 1 more person they could have the booth we were getting in to sit and made our group squeeze at one small table. read more

Really good beer selection! The burgers are damn good, but what takes the cake here for me is actually the seared tuna sandwich! It tastes unworldly! I come here every time I'm in town. I highly recommend read more

Great selection of beer and phenomenal service. Haygen was our server and she gave wonderful suggestions on food and beer. We were thrilled with our food. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich and avocado on it. Delicious! The Alltech Lexington Brewing Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale was also very good. read more

Kids grilled cheese before we re-ordered was toasted bread with microwaved cheese. Their second attempt was better, but slightly burned. Give credit where credit is due...their burgers ARE pretty good...but the slow service, paired with the laziness in making the easiest thing you could possibly grill (grilled cheese) was hard to get past. read more

Haven't eaten here in a while. Good beer selection and great recommendations by our very nice server. We were going to order lunch but changed our minds after having the mediocre spinach and artichoke dip. We love the vibe here and used to love the food. The last few times we've eaten here it's been underwhelming. We will be back for beer but that's about it. read more

Buddy of mine orders the dirty bird with mac n cheese and I had to order the Sugar Rush BURGER, and yes it was to die for. A homemade Glazed Donut a slab of bacon cheese, grilled onions and bbq sauce, with a medium BURGER and curly home fries. Awesome!!!! Did I mention 125 beers on tap. read more

First off: why do they fry a pretzel. It had so much grease I could have ringed it out and made French fries. Second: 11$ for nachos that was just cheese sauce (that isn't appetizing) mushrooms (I substituted for chili as I am vegetarian) and jalapeño. Had to ask for pico. Lousy service. Atmosphere is lacking too. Generic decoration. read more

Food taste absolutely terrible and the table of 6 next to me got kicked out because one of them had a coffee from "outside" and they don't allow outside beverages... read more

Really top notch burgers. Great vibe, lots of diversity and energy, and open late if you're hungry after a night on the town. I'll be back for sure. read more

I have yet to eat something here that I haven't liked. The burgers are absolutely amazing and it's so hard to choose just one. It's also one of my favorite spots when I am in the mood to try a new beer. The selection is better than most bars around here and because of my work schedule I am so thankful for the longer hours. The atmosphere is so fun. read more

My Coworkers and I along with fellow Yelper Fran E. R. Made one more stop. This was a great spot to sit back and recap the evening and people watch in the downtown area. Everyone had a few more libations for the evening while I had diet water. The music is really good and it was great sitting on the sidewalk table enjoying the scenery. Drinks were good and staff was great. Enjoyed our evening here! read more

I was in Mobile for a job interview, day after Mardi Gras, ran into the place completely by accident. My first impression was that this place 'frighten beer mecca'. The lunch crowd was in full swing, but I managed to find a place at the bar -and I ordered a local brew that the bartender lady recommended a 'Haint Blue Porter' which was excellent. I forget what I ordered -some awesome sounding pineapple teriyaki/jalapeño burger. And that was about the high point of my experience. So as I waited, actually texting my friends about how awesome the place was and how we should road trip to mobile -just for this bar, the lunch crowd tricked out. Thirty minutes passed, my beer half empty -and the bar was relatively empty. Still no food, the bartender lady didn't seem concerned and the cook behind the bar seemed content muttering to himself while while listening to his earbuds. No big deal, I'll just enjoy my beer. Better part of an hour passed. At that point I realized my parking was about to expire so I needed to leave. At the point where I fished out my card, was the only time the bartender came up to me, to explain the wait. I wasn't rude, and simply told her 'never mind' and 'I'll just pay for my beer'. Lady didn't even skip a beat, handed me the tab as if she wanted me to leave. I used to be a bartender back when in my college days -and I would at least try show a customer that I cared about getting their order to them -even if it wasn't my fault. End of story. Now this is my first yelp review thing, and I'm not going I be one of those nitpicking, snotty people who complain that 'bar fries were soggy' or 'the waitress wasn't nice enough'. Simply put this place seemed cool, and maybe I just caught it at a bad time or with a bad staff. But an hour for a burger and fries -especially when the crowd has died down and there's barely anyone left there. I'll let you decide how awesome a place like that is. read more

Horrible service! So disappointed with how this place has gone down hill. Beer cheese was bland and watered down. Not a hint of beer to it. The place was dirty and did not have a beer garden feel to it at all. Club music with slovenly disinterested wait staff. read more

Really good burger, I had the Spanish Fort and hubby had the Sanger.. really good!! Margarita was good too

An insane selection of beers with a burger menu that rivals the drink insanity. I've been impressed every time I visit & I try something new every time without being let down. Highly recommend this place if you are craving a good ol' high fattening burger & beer! read more

Great burgers! They also have a great vegetarian burger. It's a half pounder black bean that is breaded and fried. The veggies in our party loved them. The other meat eaters loved the half pound hamburgers. So good and fresh. They get the meat from a local source. Toppings are well thought out and fresh. It's a no frills bar and doesn't have a tremendous amount of space inside. The music was a little too loud (When did I get old?) and the wait staff seemed to be a bit stretched out. We went in on a Sunday, early dinner and it was still pretty crowded. I guess anything with that kind of quality of food will be crowded. Also it's right on Dauphin street near all the attractions. Great beer selection. Will definitely be back! read more

A lot of unconventional burgers, and an overall diverse menu. If you are craving some filling food, it is perfect for dinner. Lots of window space, so eating lunch is also amazing. You can also eat and drink outside. Ideal place to get day-drunk. A lot of high acuity meals and drinks can be found here too. You can order cocktails and expect the bartender to make it accurately. You can request an explanation of a beer and expect to learn something new. The staff have unique personalities, a strong quality in the place as well. I recommend anyone go in and eat any day of the week, and definitely go in and drink. They have drink specials throughout the week. read more

Upon our arrival, our server decides to not even give us an introduction and asks us for our drinks. Out of the two drinks my fiancé requested they were out of both. He then proceeds to make himself at home and sit down at our table while checking out the table next to us. Would be okay if he would have had some conversation with us but just felt the need to sit down at our table and ask us for our order. Very unprofessional. He appears to be high under the influence of the mary jane as he can't remember what we ordered. My food and beer was average. Kind of disappointing as this was our first time being here read more

Dine at restaurant last nite for the 1st time and I recommend spending your money elsewhere. Service was Horrible/ Management was unconcerned about my issues. Summary of Events: 1) Didn't have 2 of the beers I requested. Finally made a selection that was on tap and waitress brought it out in a can with no glass. ( No big deal) 2) Ordered the Van Antwerp salad...Was told salads are off limits because they don't have lettuces. Delivery truck comes on Tuesdays! 3) Ordered the Dirty Bird Chicken Sandwich ( which came with lettuce) charged extra for grilled instead of fried chicken. Chose broccoli and cheese as my side item. Broccoli under cooked. Asked for another one with no cheese and was charged for it. 4) Charged $2.35 for paying with my credit card.Management explanation " There's a sign on the door ( tucked away by other materials. Undoubtedly designed this way so customers can overlook this communication) that states we charge a fee. It's not Lodi policy,it's your bank who charges the extra fees. But in the same sentence he said restaurants have discretion to charge or not charge. Basically one lie after another. Conclusion: I've dine in several establishments in downtown Mobile. Lodi is the 1st restaurant I've encountered that charges its patrons a fee for using a credit card. Maybe I would've looked the other way if the service and manager conduct was courteous and professional. In addition, 3 out of the 5 items ordered wasn't available. Who runs out of lettuces with 8 salads advertised on the menu. Very bad for business! My colleagues,friends and family will not dine at this restaurant every again and I will be sure and inform everyone I know to do the same. read more

Initially I was excited to try this place out. Any time I would walk or drive by, it just seemed like the place to be. I figured good and service must be great...not so. My first experience, my gf and I dined in. We made it past the slick floors downstairs to the upper dining area. We were met by a young lady who introduced herself as our waitress for the night. We requested water to start, my gf ordered a grapefruit radler (which is on the menu,) for her main drink. Our waitress said "I'm Not even sure why that's on the menu, because we don't have it." She didn't ask or check, so we took her word for it. We then made our food orders. 20 Minutes I ti the wait, our waitress came back to tell us she didn't know what happened with our order, "it must have gotten lost" and she would need to take it down again. I ordered the Mac attack burger-a deep fried macaronii patty on a burger-the food came a little quicker this time but my Mac n cheese wasn't as described on the menu. After waiting so long for food I didn't bother to complain. I just wanted to enjoy my date. A few weeks go by and I decide to give this place a second chance. We meet our waiter, and my gf requests a grapefruit radler yet again, to see the response she'd get. The waiter did he was on it. Once the drinks came we were both in shock that he found the illusive radler...until she had a sip and it was a peach rancher. Not at all what she ordered but it tasted good, so she let it slide. She ordered a steak sandwich and I decided to go with the sugar rush. Food came out in decent time . Once we dug in we weren't too impressed. Both of our meals were missing key ingredients/parts listed on the menu. Not to mention the stale glazed donuts of my burger. Overall the food tasted great, but there seems to be no concern for serving the correct orders or maybe it's lack of accountability . Needless to say, I won't be dining here again. I doubt the 3rd time would be the charm. read more
