I am of Swiss/German descent. I have traveled to these countries and the food at The Schnitzel House is just like being there. Genuine, absolutely delicious cuisine. The owner, Andreas, speaks broken english but his wonderful daughter, who is hostess, was kind enough to translate all our accolades. We enjoyed schnitzel, bratwürst and red cabbage on 2 separate occasions during our week. My mouth is watering just writing this! They cover all the traditional German fare. The restaurant is decorated with an authentic German coo-coo clock, mural and other German knick-knacks. Did I mention dessert? Strudel with vanilla ice cream to die for! I only wish you were in NH!!! Auf Wiedersehen! Until we visit again! Nancy Zürcher-Boutcher read more

Food is consistently good. Schnitzels are freshly made. Sides are great. We like the potato pancakes, green beans and spaetzel. Hidden gem is the schnitzel sandwich! The sauce is amazing, and the sandwich is very crispy and satisfying. read more

Wow the food here is the best German food I've ever had! The owners are so warm and friendly and it is definitely a destination for German vacationers based on all the German speaking guests read more

Very authentic family-owned German restaurant. True to its name it offers like twenty varieties of schnitzel (thinly pounded fried pork chop with bread crumbs), with your choice of pork, veal or chicken. There are also sausages and goulash. The entrees come generously with two side dishes: from spatzel (German pasta) to salad and potatoes in many forms. We were a bit surprised with the potato salad, which our waitress told us is Bavarian style, vinegary and served warm with bacon, not the chilled one w dill and pickle that we expected. Naturally, you should enjoy your meal with some nice German beer, which is available on tap and in bottles. And finish the meal with a nice apple strudel or black forest cake. Sehr lecker!! read more

The food was amazing and authentic. It was the best Schnitzel I've had in FL. Small place and can be easily over looked. DON'T OVERLOOK IT. It's delicious. read more

The food was excellent. We had spatzel, potato pancakes, and schnitzel. Traditional German foods. The service also excellent.

Great service great food most authentic German food in SWFL I'd go again and again and again ok now I have enough words to post my review

Got the Wiener Schnitzel. The red cabbage and potato salad were great, however it was as a patty, not a real cut of veal. Wife enjoyed her pork schnitzel. Warsteiner on tap, cold and tasty. read more

Recently returned and was not impressed. My background is Austrian. I found the schnitzel to be dry and the bratwurst was prepared or grilled in a "fried" style that was very odd. Fair experience overall read more

I enjoyed a great German meal at this friendly, clean, family style restaurant. As soon as you walk up you are greeted with the German welcome sign on the glass "Willkommen!" The hostess immediately greeted and seated us. They do serve a modest selection of bottled and draft beers. I requested a Warsteiner draft to accompany my meal. The schnitzel Holstein with potato pancakes and red pickled cabbage as the sides made for a very tasty meal. I noticed the chef come out and ask the patrons, myself included, how were the meals. Well by know it should go without saying no complaints from me as I was already looking forward for my Apple strudel dessert to arrive. Great food, friendly service, plenty of parking! With that being said, PROST!!! read more

No! Didn't like the food... service kinda slow... food was slow in coming only 4 people eating! Good parking ambience avg and boring! Not going back read more

Service was very slow and not very attentive. Food was ok but definitely far away from what you can get in Germany or Austria. Never got asked for a refill so I don't really know if they offer it or not. The Chef was nice and came out for a quick chat. Maybe would try it again. read more

Great German fare. The flavors were vibrant and right on. Food was fresh and made in house. What my wife's family ate at home growing up. Desert was very tasty so we need to go backntontry more entries AND deserts. read more

Best German food I've ever had. My mom and I were visiting from Long Island and we were fortunate enough to eat here with my Grandpa and family for his 80th birthday celebration. The Plain Schnitzel, which I squeezed with fresh lemon, was the best I have ever had and I have had some of the top German food in NYC. The potato pancakes & apple sauce and pierogies and German beer were to die for and I wish that this restaurant was on Long Island so I could eat here all the time. Such friendly and accommodating owners. Do not miss this place. Thank you so much for everything and we will be back! read more

Excellent service and food. Very nice family owners. We had a variety of German specialties, all wonder.

One of the best restaurants in fort myers! Authentic german. Perogies are a must. Try it!

Excellent food, delightful and welcoming staff. We did not feel rushed, as in some restaurants, to leave as soon as our check was presented/paid. Only negative, there wasn't enough gravy on the sauerbraten and potato balls. My partner and I both asked for a bit more which our server immediately brought to our table. When our check arrived, we were shocked to see a $3.00 charge, per person, for the "extra gravy," Have never experienced something like this before, even in extremely high-end restaurants. read more

*BEST SCHNITZEL*! My wife and I love a good schnitzel and WE FOUND IT! EXCELLENT food, wonderful family (owners: The Lehmann's), VERY friendly service, VERY clean surroundings. GOOD PRICE POINT = TREMENDOUS VALUE for the money. Thank you Schnitzel House....and *thank you Hanna* for your great service! P.S. when you hear THEIR STORY about coming over here from Germany; you'll want to come back again and again to dine and support this great restaurant! Cheers. dk read more

All was very good. Service, food, Decorations and nice people.A restaurant that make you want to return.

I have eaten at the Schnitzel House a few times now, and the food has always been solid. However, last night everything we ordered tasted even better than before. I had the Jäger Schnitzel with fried potatoes and dumplings. The Schnitzel was crispy and tender, and the mushroom sauce very flavorful. The fried potatoes had a nice salty flavor from the bacon and the dumplings also tasted great. Our table also enjoyed the Schnitzel Hawaii with pineapple and cheese and the Schnitzel Florida with a nice bright bell pepper sauce. We split a Black Forest Cherry cake for dessert, and it was a great interpretation of a German classic. The service was also friendly and fast, so we left very happy with our dining experience. read more

What an experience! Lovely family business with authentic home cooking, in great German tradition. Crispy hot potato pancakes made a wonderful appetizer. The schnitzel as a main course was generously sized and freshly made. You just know everything served here is presented with pride and care. We had to try 4 desserts and have no regrets sharing. If you are craving hearty, wholesome German food in a no nonsense atmosphere with reasonable pricing do not hesitate. read more

Love this place. Spouse 100% German loved spatzle and red cabbage. Schnitzel is wonderfully coated and flavored with various sauces. Not a German gasthaus vibe but a nice touch of Germany in food and decoration. Not many choices for German food anymore. This should be one of those. German owners/cook read more

Warsteiner Beer on tap! The potato pancakes were classic German style (not potato latkes). The red cabbage was perfectly sour, really enjoyed. Had the Veal (real) Wiener Schnitzel - super tender, crisp frying. Wifey had the Pork Jaeger Schnitzel (with mushroom sauce) that was really good too. The owners are from Northern Germany, and it's reflected in the style. Regular specials - Beef Rouladen, Pork Hocks - will definitely get me back in the door! read more

Very good German food! Only restaurant in SWF that I have found that serves authentic German food.

We were in town for business and found this truly authentic German restaurant. I moved to the US from Germany 8 years ago and know very well how German food should taste. They hit the nail on the head. All home cooked and very tasteful. Plus pricing is very reasonable. It was fun to speak to the owners in German and listen to their story. They put a lot of work in this family business. Unfortunately I live in Indiana and cannot make this place a regular for me. I had the liver dumpling soup and man that soup was tasty. The Jaeger Schnitzel has fresh mushrooms and a nice sauce. The potato croquettes were super nice. The red cabbage tastes like my mother makes it at home. We finished with a home made Black Forest cake. So yummy. Thanks for a nice dinner making me feel like being back in Germany. read more

I am normally highly skeptical of restaurants claiming to have German food but this is the real deal!!! The schnitzel, bratwurst, red cabbage and spaetzle were exactly what I expected. Don't let the storefront location fool you. This is the best German/Austrian food I've had other than at my Mom's. Run don't walk to this hidden gem . read more

We stopped in to dinner a couple nights ago. We had one order of Jager schnitzel, and one order of the veal schnitzel. They were both excellent I'm very fussy about my restaurants. This place was awesome. read more

As you probably know we just had Hurricane Ian. Well the Schnitzel House was closed for a few weeks. I found out they live in our neighborhood by them handing out their drinks so they didn't go bad. So we thanked them and promised that we would visit them. Last week we went there. Now we just left for the 3rd time in 10 days. This place is so good. Super fresh. The sauerkraut is some of the best I ever had. The red cabbage is delicious. Pierogi was awesome too. We all tried different dinners every time, and nothing we won't have again. read more

This was the best authentic German meal since we were in Germany. The brats were amazing and the sauerkraut was to die for. The service was quick and super friendly. They had German music playing I the background to add to the atmosphere. Well worth it to stop by and check it out! read more
