Nurnberger Bierhaus - Best German food around - German Near Me - Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania

An amazing German Restaurant in the Poconos mountains, Nurnberger Bierhaus is a treasure! Delicious German fare all across the menu! Our server Julia was delightful and attentive. Donna the hostess delightful and a pleasure! The ambiance was set with Pete playing the Stick as he strolled around the restaurant with its unbelievable decor of mugs and shields, knights etc. They even have an outside Beer garden for dining and drinking pleasure. We had the spicy beef goulash soup, garlic snails, mushrooms covered in bacon and cream, warm potato salad and weiner schnitzel. Omg, incredibly delicious! Come and qet an unbelievably tremendous meal for a reasonable price! read more

Nurnberger Bierhaus is an absolute gem! The mussels were outstanding -- and that white sauce is truly to die for. They give you plenty of perfectly toasted bread so you can soak up every last drop (and trust me, you'll want to!). The sausage platter was delicious, with great traditional flavors. My personal favorite was the smoky-flavored sausage it was incredible and packed with authentic taste. Every plate feels very traditional and thoughtfully prepared. On top of the amazing food, the staff is incredibly friendly and caring. They genuinely make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. If you're looking for authentic German cuisine, generous portions, and warm hospitality, this is the place to go. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great beer garden, fabulous food, fresh German beers! My wife and I stopped in here for lunch while traveling through the Pocono's and had fantastic schnitzels. We are planning a return trip to the area just to eat here again. read more

Love this place. Eat here frequently because the food is great and so is the service.

Amazing service and food the best in the area by far. The only German spot for me I will not go anywhere else

Service was wonderful. Food was fine -- but sadly nothing really stood out as being excellent. Apple strudel was pretty disappointing-- filling was good but the pastry was soggy and limp. It's possible that it would be better if it wasn't reheated. read more

Great service, good and nice selection of German beers and the ambiance is nice. I to feels like your in Munich.

Good variety of German dishes with great service and ambience. We tried the German sampler with 4 different sausages and the pork schnitzel (must like anchovies!!) with capers and a fried egg on top!! Great flavors. And the nicest servers! And the desserts aren't too shabby either. Great place. read more

Been here twice and I keep forgetting to take a picture of the beer. Just too excited and thirsty I guess lol The outdoor side seating area is where the party is, but the inside dining hall is where you get the German pub mixed with the middle ages kinda vibe. If it weren't for the English speaking staff you could be fooled into thinking you're in a different country, perhaps Germany!! The star of the show was the shepherds pie made of the different wursts + sauerkraut! OMG I want more of it!! The steak was solid. But the side dishes -- potato gratin and the creamy mushrooms with bacon, truly made it shine. Try this place out if you're ever in the Poconos area! You'll thank me later! read more

The food was delicious, the service was top notch. It was perfect for my friends visiting from Germany.

What a place! Can't remember a time when I wanted to eat everything on the menu from one restaurant. Looks like a beer hall inside, with a beer garden outside. Waitstaff have German beer hall attire on as well to fit the theme. Music playing in the background also goes with the decor. Food is pretty good; great mix of Eastern European fare. The game sausage sampler was great; two kinds of mustard came with it. The yellow mustard with horse radish hit the spot, nice and strong. The stone ground had a sweetness to it that rounded out the gamey nature of some sausages. There was potato salad on the side which was pretty good. Had the jagerschnitzel with tomato and pepper gravy. That included sweet pickle pieces so it was like a sweet and sour sauce. The pork was thin and breaded well, but not dried out and chewy. The fries were good too, but you can't go wrong with fries. There is also a really nice German beer selection as well. Price point is fine, just high enough, but not fine dining high. Portion size is also large enough to not feel terrible spending $24 a plate. Will definitely come back no questions asked. read more

Amazing service nicest workers absolutely fantastic ambience beer is fantastic great pour and the food was phenomenal 10/10 gonna be a go to place when I visit home read more

Lovely decor, true to old world Germany. The food is always spot on, hot and filling served by 4 lovely women in full german dress, impeding service! read more

Was hoping the sauerbraten was fabulous, but it was super dry, and no fatty parts, like if they used the verbal description at the bar, "German pot roast" to add to the requested flavor. Not as flavorful. Big bummer. Oh, and another bummer, no potato pancakes - say what???? Sister's jaegerschnitzel was ok but a mushroom sauce is a must-order to flavor the dry fried meat, and the potatoes weren't crispy. Beer choices were fabulous, and the bartender was wonderful. Overall very average food experience. Will try something different on the menu next time we are in town! read more

Amazing food! Very traditional! Farmer's Feast and Jagerschnitzel are delicious. Apple Strudel is awesome too!!! Fun place to go! On Sundays, they have a live stick guitar player! read more

In the middle of no-where you will find this charming and enchanted restaurant. The first time my sister and I drove past here cause our gps took us off our normal route. We looked at each other and turned around to check it out. From the outside it looked like a little of Germany was plopped right here. The second time we drove 3.5hrs to go here -we loved that much the first time. Inside has Germany music but perfect sound so you can talk to person you're with or at the bar. Inside and out decor is Bavarian theme. Staff: this is what made us feel at home. From the waitress to the bartender. Friendly, funny and accommodating staff. Beer: the bartenders knows his beer!! So helpful! Food: I could have drank the mushroom gravy it was the delicious! Food: read more

We have been there twice in Lake Ariel and are loyal followers from their former location in Staten Island. It has a very German atmosphere and the food is excellent. We have had everything from wursts to rack of lamb- all excellent. The apple strudel is a great dessert. I love spaetzle always order it I do find it a bit too far from Milford but it's worth the drive. The prices are good. Last year the y only accepted cash though that may have changed. Check that before you go if you always pay with cards. read more

I know this place has been around a long time but it's not because they have great food. We were so disappointed in our dinners. I gave 3 stars for great service and good beer, our waitress was fun and attentive but that was the best part of the night. read more

Very German dining room. Beer was good but dinner not so much. I only took one bite of my Wiener Schnitzel and left the rest on the plate on touched. It is good practice to change the oil in your pan once in a while. The veal tasted and smelled like very, very, old and overused oil. I was disappointed with my meal. A little pricy for what your getting too. Servers are attentive and very nice. read more

Have been meaning to come here for a while- finally made the trip a week ago!! About 20 minutes from where we stay on Lake Wallenpaupack, definitely a must try!!! After living in Germany for a year, I have high standards for authentic German and Nurnberger Bierhaus takes the cake! I had the Jägerschnitzel and my boyfriend had a salmon dish, both delicious. We sat at the bar but there is a great "beer hall" Style atmosphere. They also have a great outdoor area. Service was pleasant and quick as you could ask for on a Saturday night. Had great convo with the bartender and enjoyed conversation with others vacationing in the area. I recommended this to family and some have already visited with rave reviews and many more plan to try it!! Can't wait to come back read more

Ambiance was very nice. Wait staff was very cordial and attentive. Facility was very clean. Food was lacking seasoning, dry w small portions with over pricing. read more

First and last time going there. First, they sat us right by the restrooms! Staff was friendly but service was very slow. Food arrived but dry spaetzle was cold and without gravy or taste. Husband, who is from Germany, could not eat the sauerbraten - which was not sour but extremely sweet. He never tasted sauerbraten like that before. Left the entire 2 slices of beef. Only thing the owner or manager lady said was "Sorry you didn't like it but that's our recipe". Decor is nice but that's about it. read more

Took a drive and came here for the second time last Sunday. Food and beers were great, it was packed and they were able to accommodate us after a 20 min wait. Best part of our dinner was the service, the two waitresses were so sweet with my son. At the end of our meal our waitress brought him an Elmo book, toy and bubbles for being such a good boy :) she really made his day. Thank you! read more

Great authentic German restaurant with a great beer selection. We went here after we realized that we had to have a reservation for another nearby German restaurant. We had to wait 15 minutes for a table inside, and we were able to get beers from the outside bar while we waited. The outside bar is cash only but you can pay with card inside. It looks like they have live music from 4-7pm outside in the summertime. Highly recommend if you like German food and are in the area! read more

We waited an hour and a half to be seated, after making reservations 3 weeks back, and confirming a week out. It took another half hour for the waitress to take our drink orders. I told her we had our appetizer orders ready too. She said to give her a second. 20 minutes later she came back with no drinks, ready for the appetizers. A half hour later still nothing on the table, she comes back take our dinner order. And after another 40 minutes, they brought us another table's order, who didn't want it anymore, after they came to take it back to the correct table. This is after waiting for waters for a half hour. While, there was a pitcher sitting at the waitress station the whole time, that we ended up getting ourselves. While the other half of our table, went to the bar to get waters. When we got there hours ago, the owner was there. Fast forward to everything spiraling down the toilet, he happened to "step out". I guess he knew which way this night was going. This is on top of them being out of things on the menu. As the half dozen waitresses were passing each other like headless chickens and empty handed, they asked each other "do you have table 7?" to which she replied "which is 7?" Drove up 2 and a half hours because we missed the original location in NY. I felt like we were on an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm or Bar Rescue. The waitresses had the audacity to say "you want to work here?" Really? You'd be better off hiring rocks than these ladies. Rocks can do a better job. ROCKS! read more

Wow! What a fantastic restaurant! This is perhaps the best place to eat in the area. The food is out of this world. The service is friendly, prompt and professional. We stopped by for a leisurely lunch on a very cold Saturday. After ordering a round of drinks, we decided on the potato pancakes and soft pretzels to start. For entrees we chose the Weinerschnitzel, the Kielbasa platter and the Assorted Sausage Platter. First, our heritage is Eastern European so we are no strangers to potato pancakes. These by far were some of the best we had. They are much thicker than we are accustomed to but the flavor and texture is incredible. The soft pretzels were the standard frozen pretzel but they were served with two delicious mustard sauces which were the stand out of this appetizer. The weinerschnitzel was delicious, the kielbasa plate was mouthwatering good and the assorted sausage platter was like you've died and gone to heaven. Seriously, the food is outrageous. The fried potatoes and sauerkraut are so good. Even the French fries were top notch. Lastly, the dining room is festive and fun. A really nice place to spend an hour or two. The service is outstanding, friendly and proactive. They really know how to do it here. Highly highly recommend lunch or dinner at this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. read more

So my best friend and I are having a "boys weekend" to get away from the everyday humdrum. Yesterday, as we always seem to do a lot of Italian, decided to switch it up and do German. Nurnberger Bierhaus has only been open since August 2020 with the Yelp "New and Hot" flagging, and they were close to our rental, so this was the choice. Boy, it was a good one! Even with COVID-19, the place was full of customers and the owners told us they've been busy since opening. Staff are all wearing masks, there's enough distance between tables, and it seemed everything was being done safely. The fully German choices were all hits that my friend and I had. We stared with a special appetizer of smoked trout served cold with a very tasty and not too intense horseradish sauce. The sauce was so good I asked for some to go home and I'd pay for it, but unfortunately that could not be done. I had Wienerschnitzel which was two nice pieces of breaded and fried veal along with the noodles (I'm forgetting the German term) and some broccoli, carrots, and a jam. This was all great. My friend went with the sampler sausage platter which included four different sausages along with potatoes. This was another winner. For drinks, we each had a dark Krombacher but I had the Bee Sting which included honey liquor mixed in. OMG was that good; probably the best dark beer I've ever had! We both ended up asking for one to go each because we thought due to COVID-19 that restaurants were allowing takeout drinks. Once again, we were wrong and instead went for round two in the restaurant. I definitely was feeling good and talking a lot. I wanted to have a cordial, and because the restaurant couldn't accommodate the takeout or horseradish sauce, ended up giving us the fig cordial on the house. Wow. My friend and I finished with a kid-sized one scoop of special apple crisp ice cream. Everything was so good and we had a wonderful time. Turns out the owners were originally from NY so we had a little discussion about that. Everyone was friendly and attentive to our desires. If you're in the area in the mood for German food, this is the place! We did have a little issue with the reservation as my friend called and had to leave a message instead of speaking to someone. The owner said they were having issues with the phones and cannot obtain any messages left. So, since we technically didn't have a reservation, we had to wait all of about 15 minutes before we could be seated which was not a problem. Owner said to make sure for now you actually speak to someone to make the reservation. About $130 for two not including tip. Two appetizers, four beers, two mains, and dessert. And they threw in the cordial. I wish the business continued success! read more

Great German atmosphere, better food and beer selection. You can not go wrong with this hidden treasure. Staff was very welcoming, and on top of making you feel like a regular. Highly recommend! read more

Food and beer is delicious but extremely pricey for a bar in the middle of nowhere where

So I was recommended by a friend to check this restaurant out. Absolutely awesome! Such a pure German vibe from the building, decor and menu. We tried Nurnberger Rostbratwurstchen and wiener schnitzel and Rouladen. read more

We had dinner here this evening. The soup, salad and appetizers were delicious. I enjoyed the schnitzel but my husband felt the sauerbraten would have been better had it marinated a bit longer. Our waitress Amy and busboy were very nice. The other waitress was quite loud, rude to other staff members and a bit over the top. I certainly wouldn't want her or the bartender to wait on me in the future. read more

Excellent food !!! Great atmosphere, the owner is always on the floor making sure your food and drinks are Top Quality read more

I feel like we went perhaps on an "off" night. Made a same-day reservation for my husbands birthday. We were a party of 5 plus a high chair. When we arrived at our reservation time, a woman (not sure if she was hostess/owner) told us they were running behind. Totally understandable. After about 20 minutes I saw some people leaving and asked if we could grab their table since we were the only ones waiting. She responded it was a high-top table and that we were SUPPOSED to sit there but they didn't know we needed a high chair, which wouldn't fit. I reminded her that I requested room for a high chair earlier when I called and even saw it written as a note NEXT TO MY NAME in the reservation book. She then said they were just super busy. When we sat, the waitress came over and informed us that our first round was on the house due to the mix-up, which was very kind. Then, after ordering our entrees, mine was forgotten. I was told it was coming right out. Then I saw our waitress watching the television for a few minutes with some other employees. At one point, she ran to the kitchen and brought me my food....once everyone else was done. I brought this to her attention and she apologized. It wasn't worth the fight so I had it wrapped to go. I am giving two stars not because we had to wait, but more because the reason why wasn't the truth. It is totally understandable restaurants are short-staffed; however, please don't say it's because the customer didn't say something... as you are speaking to them... over a book... that has the request written in giant letters. And then on top of them forget one of the meals because employees were watching television. read more
