i loved the food and the ambiance here, on a Friday night it was lively but not rowdy. you order up at the counter and get a number, and there was a bit of a wait but nothing ridiculous. i just wish they were napkin and utensils out for grabs, as we had to wait to be given an extra fork. my favorite thing had to be the belgian fries with bacon! read more

Midtown BierGarten - sausage platter - German Near Me - Sacramento, California

Would not go back. Food was bland and had no flavor. Not authentic German food. Tables were dirty and kitchen looked unsanitary. We felt uncomfortable as people hovered over/ around our table as we were trying to eat. Terrible experience. read more

What a fun stop! My cousins and aunt took us here for food, drinks, and ping pong! We had a blast. It was definitely packed, so the food took a bit but it was worth the wait. Note: the potato salad is not traditional American style. My cousins had NEVER played ping pong so we loved that they had a table in the back and they enjoyed it. They do only have tables and benches so be aware it's not the most comfy/easier to get into for some. We recommend stopping in! read more

As usual still one of my favorite places. Some cool new additions to the menu right before this weekend Oktoberfest street party. Black Forest Fries! German answer to loaded fries, fries smothered in a mushroom gravy and Gruyère cheese. read more

Midtown BierGarten is a fun place to take friends when the weather is just right. This is the time! If it's too hot, the sail shades don't provide enough coverage - if it's too cold, there isn't enough structure to shelter you from the elements. Service is quick and friendly. You order at the window, receive a number, and your food/drink is delivered table-side. They have a nice variety of German, Belgian, craft beers and cocktails on tap. I opted for the Lila Geist cocktail, their take on the White Linen - similar to cucumber lemonade, it was delicious. Food wise, we had the following: -Pretzel - served with German sweet and spicy mustard. The pretzel came out hot, mustard was delish. -Currywurst - Knackwurst sliced and topped with German curry sauce, served with French fries. The curry wurst was good but the fries stole the show. -Derfinator Dog - Cheese filled bacon wrapped frankfurter, cream cheese, secret garlic sauce, hot sauce, mayo, lettuce, onions, topped with bbq sauce. This had a lot going on, but it was really good. Definitely not winning a healthy meal award with this order. -Kasespatzle - German mac and cheese, egg noodles three cheese blend, beir cheese, topped with crispy onions and green onions. This was my least favorite. I am a mac n cheese traditionalist. There are a few games that other patrons were enjoying - Corn Hole, Foosball and Ping Pong. Fun place to visit with a group. read more

You can't ever go wrong with grabbing a liter of traditional European biers at Midtown BierGarten. My usual suspects are the Czech Pilsners and German Maibocks/Doppelbocks on the list. Love the open air seating on cool Spring nights. read more

This place was super yummy and the staff were very helpful with their recommendations! I ordered the Belgie Bird Sandwhich, which to my surprise had waffles as the buns. The waffle was something different but it paired well with all the ingredients and didn't get soggy which is a plus! I was definitely stuffed after eating it. The Sandwhich also comes with fries which were some of the best I've had in a while, crunchy and paired well with ranch. I wanted a wheaty beer and the Paulaner hefe-weizen hot the spot. I went there on a Wednesday night around 8 PM and there was no line to order and the food came relatively fast! The outdoor seating is good to chat with friends and enjoy the vibes. read more

Great beer and atmosphere but guys come on that's a third of a breast and handful of fries for 18 dollars that's a rip off go to any other German place to get a real schnitzel read more

Good food with great community feel. Everyone was friendly and seemed to know one another . Food was standard German fare.

I loved the sausage platter, it's a great way to enjoy food and leave the buns out to reduce carb intake. The beer was good and the fries were decent enough and practical to share with the table. It's an outdoor only bar, so it's probably best to come when the weather is good. read more

Great place to grab a beer or happy hour w/ friends. Good selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff that are great at offering suggestions. Beer garden style picnic tables with very little frills but all of the important elements in place - good, cold beer, space to sit, and good casual ambiance. Parking is somewhat hit or miss and all street based. Some spots are free and others are hourly. Snacks are decent - we had the pretzels that were tasty and paired well w/ our beers. Prices are reasonable for midtown/downtown area. Not the cheapest happy hour, but still decent. read more

Now that the weather is getting nice, the BeirGarten is always a favorite to visit for a refreshing beer and a pretzel. I'm a huge fan of the starburst. It looks so pretty and tastes equally as good. They offer a few corn hole spots and some Jenga games, which should probably be replaced as people have carved into the blocks making most pieces not stack properly. Seating is pretty much picnic bench style and can get pretty full on a hoppin' weekend so be prepared to really get to know your table mates. They are dog friendly and last I knew, they do allow kids until 7pm as long as they are accompanied by an adult 21+ but that could have changed so as always, double check. Overall, the beers are good, it's a nice outdoor area to enjoy with games and friends and we will continue to frequent. read more

Get a slushy!!! This place gets Packed but it's well worth it. Order at the bar and definitely try their Belgie caprese and slushy drinks. We had a hard time finding seating but once we settled in, we had a fantastic time. Feels like a spot that could become a friend group weekly watering hole that goes down in friend history as the local beer garden where all the best times were had. read more

Sausage platter was pretty good, so was the hot dog. Really enjoyed the grapefruit beer and the peach cocktail. PBJ beer was really good too. Fun place for events and hanging out with friends. Service we received was spectacular- it was a hot, busy day with long, long lines, but the bartender was so patient and nice to us with our multiple sample requests and questions, and made sure we got the drinks we liked. Much appreciated! Also walking distance to lots of bars and restaurants. read more

I'm not a beer fan but I really liked the beer we tried here. The currywurst and pretzel were really good but the mac and cheese wasn't my thing. The service was fast and friendly.

Today, was finally the day I tried the Starburst at the BierGarten for the first time and let me tell you, I'm not the biggest fan of too much sugar. However, this drink had a perfect balance of sugar and beer tastiness, that I enjoyed zipping on quite a bit. The outdoorsy feel to it is a great touch and gives it a great picnic feel to it. Such a great concept! I rate it a a '10' read more

I am currently here and having a good time. It's cool this starburst beer thing is good and the ambiance is pretty casual. There's dirt. There's cornhole. And there's someone with a dog (i assume you can bring your dog) The bartender let us try samples of the beer. PUUURRR (The dog is really cute) (i am sober) read more

Yum! We had another simple but awesome lunch at Midtown Biergarten. I had weisswurst with potato salad. Husband got schnitzel and fries. Very good! I enjoyed a kolsch while he had an IPA. Very Nice! read more

Love this place! Went on a weekend and it wasn't too busy, plenty of places to sit and relax. I got the starburst drink which is beer + cider, LOVED it! Way better then expected. Hubby got a IPA, he liked it as well What really stood out was the Belgies! It was my first time having German food, I was a little nervous but I ended up being blown away. We split the Belgie Bird, it came with turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, cream cheese, avocado, garlic sauce/Mayo served on a waffle. SOOO GOOD. I regretted splitting it Also on the side you can pick a cucumber salad or German potato salad. We opted for the German potato salad, it was a little heavy on the vinegar side so next time I'd go for the cucumber salad, although I'm always glad to at least try new things. Overall this place is really great. Whether you're looking for a quick bite/drink or to relax and hangout, this spot is perfect. read more

Cute little place in midtown. This has plenty of outdoors seating,mostly bench seating though. There are many beer options and all sounds interesting! I tried the most popular, Starburst, but it was a bit too sweet for me. It tasted like beer mixed with candy lol. But still not horrible, it was interesting actually. Would love to go back and try other beer. read more

Great place if it's open. And it's not easy to know if it's open. They have winter hours and summer hours. Never mind that it's spring, their website says they're on summer hours. Specifically, it says "If it's Cold, we are on winter hours. But it's HOT so we are on Summer Hours!" I've gone here on my own and had a good time, and wanted to bring the rest of the family to experience it. Loaded everyone up yesterday and arrived by 1, thinking it would be open as their website says they open at 11. We pull up and it's closed up. I see a guy on the other side of the guy and I ask him if they're open, despite seeing that it's obviously closed. He says they're closed and the sign shows they open at 3, which are winter hours. I tell him the website says they're on summer hours, and read him verbatim what the website says. He responds that it's still not hot enough so they're on summer hours...oblivious to the 80+ degree heat he was standing in and that the website said it was open. Fix your website to accurately reflect your hours. Or get rid of it and just use google. Because having a website where your most basic details are wrong is doing you any favors. And I can only assume you've been pointing people to your restaurant with incorrect summer hours since summer 2022. read more

A go to bar stop for me- I love their starburst drink, it is so refreshing. The waffles are also very delicious and definitely can be shared with 2-3 people. There's also games such as cornhole, jenga, and ping pong. I come here frequently in the summer especially to cool off with a beer and mingle with friends over jenga. Check this place out if you're in midtown you won't regret it!! read more

Walk up counter service and only out door seating. Part of it has a mesh cover to offer some shade. The food is good. The parts they do themselves are great. They spaetzle tasted prebought and rehydrated. The jager schnitzel and potatoes were great. They also have some pretty good beers. Kind of oxymoronic to say Germans have good beer, but hell ya. Staff is friendly and helpful. Stop in and say hi. read more

Everything was great! We had three different sausages and two different beers. So happy to have stumbled upon this place; we will be back!

While in town and closeby the Midtown Biergarten my colleague and I decided to give them a try and I'm glad we did! Located in beautiful Downtown Sacramento and only minutes from our hotel we went to visit in the early afternoon. While the Biergarten is not 100% authentic, it is probably the closest I have come across since living in the USA. Midtown Biergarten has a ton of imported draft German Beers, not just from Munich but other big cities and small towns as well. Unfortunately, they have only a very limited variety of food, but the few items we ordered were without a doubt 100% authentic German. The Pretzel with the Sweet and Spicy mustard which come straight from Germany and that says a lot about this place! Most German restaurants serve cheap local mustard but not here! The Cheese dip was also spot on and a big shout out to the owner for doing it right! I get upset quite easily by restaurants claiming to be German and it was so refreshing that they held up to my high expectations. Verdict: 5 stars for the ambiance, incredible tasty food and beer and extremely nice service during our visit. I'll be back!!! Prost and Bon Appétit. read more

I've been here plenty of times before, but coming here after a visit to Munich Oktoberfest has made me really appreciate Midtown BierGarten. I am so glad to have a slice of Barvaria close to home. Long communal tables and benches, beer server in liter glasses, and sausages. What more can you ask for? Well, I daresay I'd love to see roasted chicken and pork knuckles on the menu to really drive home the German theme but c'est la vie. Our last visit we came in our tracht cause it was the final day of Oktoberfest and I was heavily missing Germany. The staff seemed to appreciate it so it might become a regular garment when I come too lol. Make sure you check their page for opening/closing. Just like the biergartens in Germany, rain usually means closed. read more

What a great place for hanging out with friends, coworkers and family. I met with my co worker here and they have such a variety of beers and food options. The staff was super nice and helpful on choosing your beers. As we hung out here for an hour m, we saw more and more people coming, seemed like regulars, and it felt such a family environment as if one person knew another. They do have misters and it's cooling. Not that muggy damp feeling. I'll be back here again soon to try out more beer and for the food as well! read more

Cool spot to hangout, grab beers, and eat some food. They had a full menu, but my boyfriend and I halved a belgie bird with garlic fries. It was pretty big sandwich so I'm glad we halved it. Plus, then I had room to drink more beers lol. The garden has cool games like corn hole, jenga, and a ping pong table which makes it an easy place to hangout and socialize in. I can see myself easily coming back to hang with some friends. read more
