We love german food so we wanted to try this place. The ambiance is nice, the service is on spot. As for the food, it was.just ok. I make german potato salad that is much better and authentic than their. Also the red cabbage lacked flavor. The Chicken schnitzel was very crispy, I like that. The house pretzels were the favorite. read more

I grew up in Wilmington when it was NOT a real destination. It's nice to see places like Prost when I visit now. It was an off time so we had some great conversation with our server. We started with the onion dip and chips (yum!). I had the Rachel and my husband had the pierogie special (and ate my spaetzle side). The food was delicious and my beer (the Mexican lager) was perfect for a sunny afternoon. Their patio alone is reason to sit and sip a while! read more

First, I've read all the reviews here and after visiting this restaurant I have to say some of the negative reviews don't get the intention nor the practicality. So to the review that said there are no german beers on tap. Hmm, I'm not sure how german breweries would get kegs to the united states. Just sayin. To those who think the decor is not german. Uh, well not movie german certainly. Its much more steam punk Berliner, so if you need lederhosen go to Bavaria on a tourist bus. As for the food. Its a blend of german and American. And I'm not sure thats bad. Strict german food is not exactly a trend. So heres the low down. My wife ordered the Brussel sprout appetizer and it was fantastic. They were al dente and bacony , is that a word. She thoroughly enjoyed them. She also ordered the red cabbage as a side. The reviews were not so nice about the cabbage. And they are wrong. It is as german as you can get. If you don't like caraway don't get this. It may be too german for you. I ordered the schnitzel patty melt. A real fusion dish. Crispy pork schnitzel with caramelized onions, mushrooms, cheese wrapped up in rye bread with a dijon aioli. Incredible. The only thing I would change is I would use a german brown mustard. Just my preference. But just be assured it was all good. The beers were great also. Which is good being its a beer garden. So, eat inside, its cute, order german with an open mind, imbibe in good beer.....oh dang I forgot the spaetzle is amazing. Just enjoy read more

Service was nothing special but the food and ambiance was exceptional. Every dish was amazing!! And the inside was super picturesque and just very cozy. They also have really nice outdoor seating read more

We loved our first visit to Prost! Loved the ambience, the service was great and the food spot on. We will be back again. read more

As close to Germany as you will get. Great tasting dishes with fabulous service. Can't wait to return.

I loved my experience at Prost. I went during late lunch time and had a phenomenal experience. The staff went above and beyond. They explained tge menu and answered all my questions. The food was delicious. Everything was freshly prepared. I really enjoyed the ambience it reminded me of being in a fairy garden. It had nice touches. I would definitely recommend and will be going back. read more

Eastern NC is truly lacking in German food options and while Prost is a bit of a self-described German-American mashup, it certainly fulfilled our German food cravings. The decor is unique and fun and they have an excellent outdoor Biergarten area. They have a nice selection of draft beers and cans/bottles as well as wine and mixed drinks. Our server was very personable, attentive and helpful. All of our food was good! The pretzel was fresh and hot and the dipping sauces were both very tasty. I had pork Schnitzel and my wife had the chicken. The breading was flavorful and fried perfectly. We both subbed the cabbage for other items as we'd read it has Carraway seeds in it, which is unusual and neither of us are a fan of Carraway. I got the German potato salad instead and it was served warm which is traditional. It was good, but I'd have liked it to be a little heavier on the vinegar which would be more to German standards, but I understand the need to appeal to American tastes. My wife got the house chips and they were fresh, also fried perfectly and actually seasoned well. Prior to our arrival I messaged the restaurant to inquire about the parking situation. They responded quickly and let us know there is metered street parking and a parking garage nearby on 2nd & Market St. We ended up parking down by the river one block away. Overall we really enjoyed our visit and will be sure to come back at dinner time so we can try some more of the entrees like the Chicken Paprikash. Genießen Sie Ihr Essen! Prost!! read more

The food was exceptionally good considering most German influenced restaurant/ bars don't cut it even close. We decided to go ham on a few appetizers to get a taste of several things on our first trip in. We were not disappointed. Would recommend to anyone looking for a taste of Germany like this girl was! read more

DH and I finally had the opportunity to dine at Prost. I was able to get a table in the beer garden. I'm glad we had reservations, as both inside and outside were full. Plus, there were a few walk-ins and they had to wait a bit. The beer garden had a lively atmosphere. There's a bar with about 8-10 barstools. I would like to sit there the next time. We ordered the pretzels (two in an order) that came with two dipping sauces. One was beer mustard and the other a cheese sauce (our favorite). The pretzels were excellent! I've had doughy pretzels, but these were light in texture with a nice crispy outside. I ordered the chicken paprikash that came with egg noodles; DH Ordered the pork schnitzel, jager style, that came with red cabbage,and spatzle. Both dishes were very good. The schnitzel was not overcooked; the chicken very tender. I didn't think it was the best chicken paprikash I've had but I did enjoy it. Next time I'll order the schnitzel. Other appetizers that sounded great were the potato pancakes, crispy Brussel sprouts and roasted mushroom soup. I'd like to come back soon, as they also have a nice selection of sandwiches. Overall, a very nice dinner at Prost. read more

What a wonderful addition to downtown Wilmington! We popped over for their grand opening and the weather was incredible so we were able to sit outside on their patio. The ambiance inside and outside is really nice! Overall the food was really good (def get the potato pancakes and spatzle) and they had a pretty good beer selection as well. I look forward to more good times at Prost! read more

I've been to roughly 3 German restaurants in my life... and I've never been to Germany so I'm not very well versed personally in the cuisine. But as far as quality food goes- this place gots it. My best experience with German cuisine hands down, everything was fresh, perfectly balanced flavor, not too overwhelming but not bland by any means. Pork chop perfect- not dry, could taste the apple smoke. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly. Outdoor seating- back patio dog friendly, lots of fans and shade so not too hot either. Everything was great, small bites were all delicious, we had a couple as we got there a little earlier than dinner. Apps/handheld lunch served before 5pm. Also well priced, overall definitely the best dining experience I've had in town this year. read more

Service was outstanding! The bartender made a specialty cocktail with a butterfly pea flower gin that was spectacular. Outdoor area is awesome, even on a rainy humid day. The food had a fresh twist on the expected and was awesome! The apple mustard and potato salad were excellent and the crisp on the spatzle and schnitzel were perfect. read more

My wife and I went for lunch on a Sunday at around 1230. The staff immediately greeted us when we entered and we were able to be seated in the covered outdoor section. The patio featured a retractable umbrella and plenty of greenery. We ordered the Firecracker Shrimp as an appetizer. It was a great fusion of culinary styles, offering a modern food accented by the more traditional greens. My wife decided on the Local Flounder Sandwich with their home made chips and I chose the Schnitzel Patty Melt with fries. Both were generous portions and excellent meals. The flounder sandwich consisted of two filets of flounder and the Schnitzel was a healthy portion. We would definitely recommend and consider going again to explore other menu options. read more

I visit ILM occasionally and was super excited to find this German restaurant. My mother was a full blooded German and I travel Europe often. My husband does not care for German food so I eat it almost every time I travel. I'd like to say I'm kind of a German food connoisseur. The restaurant was decorated very very well and also very welcoming. I sat at the bar since I travel often alone. The service received at the bar was outstanding. I ordered the pork Jager schnitzel as well as the potato pancake appetizer. It was nice to see that the potato pancake was actually made with grated potatoes and not a potato mash. I enjoyed it very much! My entree included spaetzle and braised red cabbage. The pork schnitzel and the spaetzle were excellent. To my surprise the braised red cabbage was loaded with what I believe to be caraway seeds. I've never had caraway seeds in my braised cabbage before. (typically it only comes in sauerkraut) Needless to say, I did not care for it nor eat it. If you like caraway seeds, then you would love this cabbage. I ran into a beer special as well which was awesome. I had two German beers for a total of six dollars. My total bill without tip was under $30. I thought that was a bargain for the amount of food that I got! Will I come back here to eat? Most definitely!! WilI I order the braised cabbage? Most definitely not. I would've given this establishment six stars had I not encountered the caraway seeds as I have never experienced them in cabbage before. read more

We have been wanting to try this place for a while since it opened. Just haven't been in Wilmington enough. It's located one block off of the water and has limited views. The parking can be an issue. A private lot adjacent to the location charges a minimum of $20 but there is a public lot just feet up the alley that charges $2 for the first hour and $1 per hour beyond that. The building looks great from the outside but be aware there is little signage to go by. The beer garden is to the back with nice open air feeling with a full bar. You can enter directly into the beer garden or go inside to the main dining room. Very friendly greeters and wait staff. Mixture of long tables with benches (German style) plus a number of two/four top tables with chairs. The happy hour menu is what you should start with. Lots of offerings at great prices. We tried the Kaese spaetzle for two and it was plenty. A little over cheesy but the Emmentaler will lock your jaws up. The roasted brussel sprouts were maybe the best I've ever had. The fresh baked pretzel was very good but the hot mustard was HOT. And good. We didn't get a chance to try an entree but the menu has a lot to offer. I would definitely give this place a try. read more

This place is really cute. The service was a little slow and our server was hard to read. But she was nice. The food was delicious! Everyone was happy with their choices. Some of the favorites were firecracker shrimp, chicken cordon blue, and the potato pancakes. Drinks were tasty but not filled to the top which is a little aggravating when they're $10 cocktails. I would definitely come back though! read more

Very charming place. My sister was visiting from Germany. very European, very inviting old-school feel- loved it!! I love all the Decour and architecture. It was a gloomy rainy day, and we chose to sit outside on the terrace.They had TVs for sports on great for football. The garden was calming, the old brick falling down wall with the plants and the Christmas decor, loved it. Great place to go when you wanna get out of the hustle in Bustle. bartender was very friendly very helpful. She went over beer selections for us And selected a few thought we would like. Enjoyed every moment. I will come back again. read more

Food, Drinks, Service, Atmosphere. Nailed all four. What else is there?! Oh, we had 5 kids in tow and they accommodated that and made a fun little day with out of town friends relaxing, in a situation that can sometimes feel chaotic. Casual food and vibe in an elevated way that hits just right! read more

Omg. Tried this place on a whim and was blown away. The food was so freshly made and flavorful. We got a soft pretzel, Brussels sprouts, spring salad, the chicken schnitzel, and a few cocktails. Every single food item was clearly freshly made and high quality. The meal was so pleasant and the food came out fast. The service was excellent and the bar was such a lovely date location. Can't wait to come back. I couldn't recommend more. read more

We were on vacation in Wilmington and decided to try out this spot and we were not disappointed! It was Memorial Day Weekend so really rainy and cold but we sat outside (covered) and enjoyed our time! The beer selection is great and their portions are decent size! The service was wonderful and she was attentive, while maintaining the outdoor bar and the ambiance was super pretty and "garden-y" if that makes sense! I would love to come back! read more

Visited on a weekday afternoon - ambiance is so relaxed, filled with plants and good music. Special of the day cocktail was herbal and delicious and a huge beer selection was available. Service was quick and we were in and out but felt comfortable relaxing as long as we wanted to while cooling down from the afternoon heat. read more

Great little outdoor seating area in the back. German style food is tasty and service is prompt and friendly. I have been here twice and both experiences were good.

Not a lot of vegetarian options but that is to be expected at a German resturant. I did love the potato pancakes, Brussel sprouts and the Mac and cheese spatzle. It was so rich I had to take half home but delicious! read more

We ate at Prost on 4th of July. We loved the modern atmosphere and that you could get a reservation. The decorations are so unique. We tried the Potato Pancake appetizer. I enjoyed it with the sour cream, but my husband and son were not a fan of it with the apple sauce. I had the Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich and it was good...ham was pretty salty. My husband enjoyed the Chicken Paprikash. My son ordered the Mac and Cheese and was not a fan...he was really disappointed because he is a big fan of Mac and Cheese, but the blend of cheeses on this were too out of the ordinary. Our server was lovely and attentive. We are pretty picky eaters and this menu was out of our comfort zone for sure! I would recommend it for adventurous eaters...wasn't really our favorite. read more

When you walk in the ambience is romantic with lights strung across the ceiling and large wine barrel planters with plants coming down above you. There was lots of fresh greenery filling the space beside us in front of the window. The table was quite wobbly we moved to the table mere inches next to us in a communal like seating area sharing a sitting bench for two with a second two person table a few inches apart. Some seating was designed for larger groups/family to sit together. Rather than buying entrees we decided to share several appetizers. One was two pretzels with beer cheese and stone mustard. The pretzels were soft and fresh and almost had a sweetness liken to a donut. The cheese sauce tasted good and the mustard had a strong bite of horseradish, both were great with the pretzels. The second was spatzle mac and cheese made with swiss, emmanthal and butterkase cheeses and was very cheesy, delicious! The third was the trio of sausages: Baurenwurst, keilbasa, and bratwurst. All tasted freshly made or locally produced. I loved the curry ketchup and beer mustard to dip the pieces of meat in. The pickled onions were so good! I would recommend this place for anyone wanting some german food. Even the schnitzel looked delicious! Lots of European beers to choose from as well as cocktails. read more

We visited on a Saturday for lunch. Light crowd when we arrived and pick up when we were leaving. The Biergarten is the place to sit if the weather is cooperating. Good amount of seating inside and out, atmosphere has a good vibe and decor has really neat touches than blends in the old building with a modern German theme. Menu had a good variety of options and they do have an after 5pm menu for their entrees. Drink menu was great..lots of "try new ones" and plenty of local selections. They have flights which I love so I can try a variety of new and standard brews. Pictures were of the potato pancakes which were a hit with the table and brussel sprouts for a delicious side. Service was awesome..as first timers were were given a run down of the place, menu and drink options and food was out fairly quick. We will be back for dinner to see how the entrees are. Definitely one to put in your saved file when in Wilmington next time. read more
