    German Wurst Board
    Ariadna S.

    We arrived on an early Friday evening! It was already a bit busy but we got the beers and food very quick. So quick that it took as much time for food to come out, as it took us to get 2 beers from the bar!!! The server was looking for us, we didn't even get to find a table yet lol

    I probably have not been to Scholz' Garten in over twenty years. I think it used to be called Scholz Beer Garten. It has been so long ago they had a dirt floor out in the beer garden. I agonized over which shoes to wear that I did not mind getting a lot of dirt on. The beer garden has been cemented and bricked. Wow, I was totally amazed to see the transformation. I was invited to a reception by a business partner. The reception included open bar and bites. There was a number of food items available for consumption all prepared by Scholz Garden staff. That is where my interest lay as it was early evening. I started off with chips and spinach dip...quite tasty. I moved on to the chicken wings, which were outstanding. They tasted as if they were slow smoked. One word for the wings...delicious! I got a couple of brisket sliders. Not a huge fan of beef, but thought I would give it a whirl. The brisket was fork cutting soft. Really enjoyed the brisket...opted out of the bun. They had some healthy options, which I completely avoided. The meal ended with three desserts - pretzel bread budding, German chocolate cake and assorted pound cakes. The standout was definitely the pretzel bread pudding. Will be hitting the gym hard today... There was complimentary valet, which was nice. Parking downtown can sometimes be quite scary. A huge shoutout for having anti-bacterial solution out in the beer garden. For a resident, germaphobe it totally made my day. I enjoyed all aspects of being at Scholz Garten and look forward to returning.

    The overall vibe is great at this place and they were playing good music previous to the George Strait concert. In terms of service I thought everything was delivered fairly quickly. I just think they need to do a little more on the food. Or maybe select different wurst options as I specifically have been to Germany and these are not the best wurst.

    Not a bad spot in a less busy downtown area. Lots of different German beers on tap. Pretty good value for the food. There is a bit less sausage and food variety compared to other German spots. There's a fair amount of outdoor seating. Food is also ready quick.

    Schloz German restaurant. The pretzel was by far the best pretzel I have ever had. The beer cheese with it made the pretzel highly addicting. I will have to run a few extra miles today now thanks to how good this thing was. The jagerschnitzel was good. I would honestly say that I have had better but I would def order it again. The schnitzel was great! Overall I give this place 4 1/2 stars. I would def be back. Even though I didn't get any beer they do have a great beer menu.

    Finally got to have the pretzel fresh after all the years of my mom bringing it home to me. It was DELISH!!! I've been thinking about it since then. The service was great, ordered through the toast app and it was ready quicker than the estimated pick up time. Cute area and beer garten, walking distance from the pool and stadiums!

    You know, if you are an out of towner, this place is worth a visit. Not only is it historical, but it offers an authentic Texas charm with a German influence. It's very old and very rustic, but don't let that fool you - the food is quite good! It's so much better than it used to be decades ago. The Wienerschnitzel is amazing, incredibly tender and flavorful. Like, I'm actually going back again for two nights in a row kind of good. Here is what we had last night - beef tips, Wienerschnitzel burger, the traditional, wiener, schnitzel plate, and an incredibly moist and delicious pretzel. It was huge, plenty for 3-4 people. Way above typical bar food, which you might expect walking in. It's a local favorite for a reason. Boy, "if these walls could talk" kind of place.

    We had a fun lunch at Scholz Biergarten. They claim it's the oldest biergarten, not just in the U.S., but in North America -- founded in 1866. It may actually be true. We ate outside in the actual courtyard. It is not the most beautiful place and don't let the "garten" fool you. It's not a garden. A tip of the hat to our waiter Cassie, who graduates from UT in May. The menu is very traditional German food. Schnitzel. Bratwurst. Sauerkraut. Jaegerschnitzel. And huge Bavarian pretzels with mustard and two dipping sauces. And of course a huge selection of German beers. We split a pretzel ("big enough for 2-4 people" says the menu), six smoked chicken wings and a huge salad. Filling and tasty. This is the kind of food you don't want to eat every day. Warning: Carrie says Scholz's is jammed when Texas has home football games.

    Dark inside! But I liked it. Bar seating, bar area has booths and tables as well. A few step down areas so not sure about fully accessible for handicapped/wheelchair access. They also have outdoor seating with nice water misting fans, etc. Restrooms were clean and orderly. Nice! We had latkes with applesauce and they were hot and delicious! Called the Kartoffelpuffer. Also had the pretzel appetizer. There was a strong mustard, beer cheese, and a butter aioli. I enjoyed them all. The pretzel was hot, crispy outside and soft inside. So good! Size of the plate/metal tray. Yum! Called Giant Bavarian Pretzel. I had the German Wurst Board. 3 different brats: Weisswurst, Bratwurst, and Pepperwurst. Sauerkraut, cider braised red cabbage, and pretzel rolls (served warm). LOVED IT! So delicious! 2 in our group had the Greed Goddess salad. Overall they liked it but they didn't find the watermelon radish. Maybe it was too dark to see them (haha). Overall, I would definitely return here. Loved the ambience. The waitstaff were super nice and helpful. And the decor was cute (a little German flair).

    Patronized for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon in April. Good experience at this beer garden. I recommend. Details below. 1st visit at 2 pm. Party of 3. Entered through side entrance of beer garden. Ordered food and beverages at 1 of 2 outdoor bars. Menu is basic German. Open seating is shared. Food is great quality. Served very quickly. Staff bussing tables - I appreciate that. Draft German beer is poured inside and canned local beer outside. Self serve water stations; no ice. A UT baseball game was on, so a lot of college students showed up. Not an issue; it just got crowded quickly. Street side parking. Friendly staff.

    We absolutely loved our visit to Scholz Garten. The food was outstanding. So bold, rich flavors and generous portions across the board. Every dish we tried was clearly made with care and tradition in mind, and it truly delivered. (I spent 3 months traveling Germany and Europe, and I have missed the food! So this was great!) The servers were incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere is what really ties it all together. Such beautiful scenery, a relaxed beer-garden vibe, and a sense of history that makes you want to linger. It felt authentic, comfortable, and truly made me reminisce on my time in Germany. As first-time visitors to Texas, this was a perfect stop on our vacation and one we'll remember fondly.

    Do they have the full menu back including the jagerschnitzel?

    Yes, full menu is available. I had the Jägerschnitzel and it was delicious. You also get two sides, one of which can be the struedel. Sit on the patio if it's not too hot. Guten appetit!

This food truck is so simple and unassuming, you may actually miss it. As a complement to Live Oak's German style beers, The Black Forest food is a perfect pairing for German beer.

In addition, small chips and cookies are sold for $2. We shared the pretzel...OMG, it was mutant large...enough for three people. The pretzel came with queso and stone-ground mustard (preferred the mustard). The pretzel was firm and flavorful on the outside and soft inside...ideal combination. Neil, the owner, was so super nice and shared some history regarding the brewery. He also has had a daily special. The food truck is located at Live Oak Brewing, making for an ideal German beer and food pairing experience.

The wife got the smoked turkey sandwich w/ avocado. Both are great to be honest and you can see the fresh sourdough bread they make in house for the sandwiches. THE FINAL BAMBOO: The cost for two items was around $50. Ol reliable when it comes to a place that you want to chillax with the kids/friends and have some great sandwiches.

We ordered half of traditional langos and other half for avocado. so it was half and half! Additionally, we ordered potato's and it was total around $25. Quite the pricey but the volume was a lot. They served us within 5-10 mins. Frankly speaking, it was too greasy and too salty for us to eat them. We had no clue how on earth they keep 5 stars with that amount of salt and greasiness We really love the lady in the food truck as she was so friendly and sweet but the foods were not something we could recommend to others to eat at all. Flavors were good but just too much salt and oil plus garlic on avocado langos was extra strong! We love to give 5 stars like other people but we'd like them to re-evaluate the amount of salt and grease again before they serve. Hope to see improvement if we happen to get it again. 1/5 greasiness 1/5 saltiness 1/5 price for value 2/5 garlic amount 5/5 friendliness Cheers
