Great with answering questions to get you what you'll enjoy!! Nice open floor plan. Very laid back atmosphere. Both inside & out (great patio) I definitely both: recommend them, as well as - ready for the next trip! My absolute favorite beverage is MIX-TAPE. Truly drinking a PB&J sandwich !!

the only reason i am giving 4/5 stars is my two friends and i arrived here on a game day (none of…read moreus are into sports and had no idea) so this place was PACKED. a somewhat organized chaos. we got our food after about 30-35 min of wait time, which for the surplus amount of fans in this place was to be expected. i got the schnitzel pizza and it was good! my friends got the schnitzel and bratwurst respectively with two sides each. i ate the sauerkraut, which also wasn't bad, but i also just like sauerkraut haha i would definitely come back on a day that hopefully isn't as crowded because i did enjoy my pizza and would like to try a beer and another menu item. it was loud and busy, but not once was anyone rude. and i really appreciated that. we didn't require a ton of service, but the workers we did speak too were polite and that's all that i could ask for, especially if they had so much more going on. props to the staff at schulz!!

Great food, great beer and great times. We came here today because my husband has been wanting…read moreGerman food and I had heard this was a good place to go. It wasn't good it was fantastic. Schulz Brau had the whole ambience down, a beer hall that transports you to Germany. A wide inviting hall with share tables or more private tables if you don't want to be too social. You order your drinks at the bar and then order your food from the kitchen area outside. Their menu consists of German classics and also different pizzas for the less adventurous. My family got a variety of things. We got the bratwurst for our 9 year old with a side of seasoned fries. The curry wurst fries and the wiener style schnitzel with spatzle and German cucumber salad. We also had to get a pretzel because why not? The food took a little bit to come out which was understandable. In the meantime my husband and I each got a beer. The beers were fantastic. When we got our food it all was really good and came out fresh and hot. The curry wurst fries were great. The curry wasn't spicy it was more creamy with great subtle flavor on top of the crispy fries and the charred brats. The weiner style schnitzel, surprised me with how much I liked it. The light breading on the pork was nice and crispy and the lingonberry jam and lemon slice added a nice refreshing touch. The spatzle was good with the cheese sauce over it. For me the cucumber salad was the only thing I had that wasn't super good. The cucumber was fresh and the dressing on it light but it wasn't my favorite. I loved their pretzel with the cheese dip that was a mixture of Brie and cream cheese with some spices. Everything just really came out well made and tasted good. We definitely want to come back and try more things. It seems like a great place to come catch up with friends and hang with your family. It is a little loud but that is to be expected with the open hall style. Overall it was a really fun time and worth coming to check out their beer and food.

I only stopped in for a pint then went on my way but I'll be back for sure. Pretty solid selection - should be a drink choice for everyone, no matter what your preferences are.

A quick Yelp search while in the area led us here. It was a good find for sure…read more Loved that even on cold days, there is a closed-in patio that allows pups! Our pup travels everywhere with us, so finding these spots is important to us. It was very spacious too - so we weren't on top of other guests. They have an extensive menu and the same with the beer list. There is something for everyone, from hoppy IPAs to fruity sours. Not sure which beer you may like - get a sample. Or try a flight! For lunch, we got the deviled eggs to start - something that is a go-to for us. They were solid and enjoyable. For the main, we opted for the Abridged burger and the Chicken club. Both were solid as well. Fries were crispy, but a bit over-salted, and I enjoy some salt. So made a note for next time to "go light". Service was good too. Overall - really only a tiny detail to 'complain' about, but easily taken care of next time. We will be back for sure - I want to try their pizza!

Burgers have always been top notch and awaiting their takeover of the Xul kitchens here. Bar staff on top of service, even refilling water when it got low. Service is a plus. Ambiance is more restaurant feel than brewery, although there is a wide selection of brews available. She order a lemondrop. Nice job, but you get a lemondrop pretty much the same no matter where you go. Beer is very good here. I did not have one I did not enjoy. I need to return some time and try some of their food menu items.

Brunch gives you access to a small buffet (fresh fruit, potato salad, chicken salad, pasta salad, brownies, and cookies) that you can help yourself to while waiting for entrees. I split a mimosa carafe which was delightful, their coffee is spectacular as well. While it was packed, I could still speak at a normal volume with my partner and enjoy our valentines morning! The energy and ambiance didn't feel overly hurried and it was overall very welcoming and pleasant. I ate the quinoa benedict and LOVED it!! For two entrees, coffee, and a large mimosa carafe we split about $50.

We got there around 11:30 and there was plenty of seating and also claw machines that our son instantly gravitated towards. My husband had really wanted to try this place because he had heard from some work friends that it was one of the best if not the best place for Bbq in Knoxville. I have to admit after tasting it, it is definitely up there. It was very good. We got a few things among us to try. First off we're the pit monster rolls, egg rolls stuffed with pork and brisket and served with cheese sauce. They were so good. Vegetarian's nightmare, but delicious. The meat was tender the grill part was crispy and the cheese was gooey and melty deliciousness. We also got the smoked brisket Big Dipper, think french dip but so much better with the brisket. It came with a side so I got the fried okra which were hot and good flavor. We also got the two meat plate with pulled pork and brisket with fried and potato salad. My husband really liked it and inhaled most of it before he remember we're were going to share the two entrees to try more things. Our 9 year old got the burger which he really liked. We also did cider flight which the ciders were really good they had great flavors. Overall, it's a really fun place to come and check out. The food is really good and the ciders are tasty. Not bad for families, but I would bring them earlier in the day and then have a date night or a chill night with friends here in the evening. It's worth checking out.
