Yum! We hadn't been to Stammtisch since the year it opened (2014, eeeek, now I feel old). But we went again last Friday, and it was such a delightful place to go for lunch. Not crowded, with attentive but chill service. We had a delicious burger (hubby) with a fabulous acid-forward set of toppings; a delicious lentil-and-every-German-meat soup (me, because I am an Official Soup Nerd); a delicious pretzel with dips (us). Chocolate pot de creme for dessert--so rich. It was Strong Bier month, which was really fun. Can't wait to go back. read more

Bit more of a pub vibe than a restaurant but they have plenty of great sounding dishes I haven't heard of tho I don't have much experience with German food besides schnitzels & wursts. We happened to come in during HH (weekdays 3-5) so we got a bretzel w/ beercheese of course ($8) and bratwurst served w/ sauerkraut, mustard & pickle spear ($9). The sauerkraut was a tad sweet IMO but the brat was juicy and tasty. We also got the Schweinsaxe (I think?) which was an enormous pork shoulder hunk w/ nice fried crackling skin on the outside & comes w/ red cabbage and spaetzl. Def recommend sharing this big boy. It was good and all but I wish there was a bit more flavor to it than just meat flavor. The only thing for me is I find German beers to all be a bit too sweet for me as someone that likes stronger beers like IPAs but not dark beers much. read more

I lived in Germany for a couple of years as a military wife. I was no impressed. I was looking forward to schnitzel and potato dumpling. No dumplings and greasy schnitzel. read more

Good, authentic German food. The service was also great. Sort of a small restaurant, so we opted to sit in the corner of the bar to shorten the wait. I think the bartender took pity- comped my wine just because. Great experience overall and would definitely come back! read more

we have eaten here several times and ha e never been disappointed. I can't bring myself to order anything but their vegetarian maultaschen, which they cover in a deliciously flavorful gravy with mushrooms, sometimes bits of artichoke hearts, and asparagus, really great. Their beer cheese soup is the best i've had in Oregon too. It's not too thick and it's very cheesy. They obviously use a great beer in the making as well. The frites are always hot and perfectly crispy (husband gets them every time) and come with curry ketchup which he loves. They have a great selection of beer, and a full bar. We love the ambiance. It feels much like several places we have both visited in Germany. Depending on the season, they have both outside and inside seating, lots of it communal, and the bar seating is great too. Sometimes it can be a bit loud in the bar. read more

This is pretty German food! The ambiance is cozy and friendly. We went here for dinner date night and was pleasantly impressed. The staff is prompt and efficient. They offer a great variety of German beers and in different sizes. I would try one of their beers, they come in different glasses depending on what kind. The soft pretzel was so good, amazing. Comes with a spicy seed mustard and pork fat? Not used to that type of spread but I could eat 5 of those pretzels by myself. I ordered the weiner snitzel and a side of spatzel because I love spatzel. This was on the best, buttery, soft and slightly crisp. The snitzel was delicious, crisp and perfectly cooked with a side of carrot salad. My husband tried the pork knuckle and it was good but pretty salty. The size is enough for two people. I would definitely come back and try more dishes and beers! Prost! read more

This is a cute German spot in NE Portland. As someone who speaks German, I appreciated that the menu titles were in actual German and not just a kitschy knockoff. The beer selection was also really nice and they offered a lot of different varieties from German breweries. The Jägerschnitzel overall tasted good but the meat was not breaded - I've had a lot of schnitzel throughout Germany and Austria and I've never had a schnitzel that wasn't breaded. read more

Stammtisch - Jagerschnitzel - German Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We had a highly disappointing experience at this restaurant. We arrived on a Wed at about 6pm. We were seated immediately because the restaurant was not busy. The waitstaff asked us for our drinks order, which came promptly. We ordered a pretzel which took way too long to arrive, and when it did arrive it was hard as a rock. We could barely cut into with a fork and knife to share. It might have been over baked because it took well over half an hour before the pretzel came after ordering it. At that point we thought that the rest of the food should be out shortly since we had already waited 30 minutes for the pretzel. Unfortunately, it was ANOTHER 30 minutes before our main courses arrived, this was after asking the waitstaff TWICE about the delay. Once again, the food was not very good. Generally, it was all very dry and tasteless. We ordered the Wienerschnitzel, Schweinshaxe, Forelle, and a burger. At least two of the dishes tasted like it had been just sitting under a hot lamp drying out. The Wienerschnitzel was the worst dish of them all, besides the pretzel. Basically, the service was SOOOO SLOW(the main course took an hour to arrive)and when we did get the food, it was so bad. We left feeling dissatisfied because we had waited over an hour for food, got overly hungry and irritable but ultimately were served subpar food. I hope that they make an effort to improve. I've been here once before when the service and food were better. But I don't think I will return because the experience left us in a bad mood. read more

I've been eyeing these guys for a minute but decided to stop here last minute and boy was I not disappointed. I got the pretzel that came with mustard, schmaltz and obatza (cheese spread). Although they don't make the preztel in house it was delicious nevertheless (from a German bakery called fressen). The shattering exterior had a faint layer of butter and the perfect amount of maldon salt while the interior was fluffy and chewy. The skinny parts where the pretzel twisted had the perfect slight crunch. They use Edmond Fallot Dijon so you know they're not messing around and shows that theyre using high quality ingredients. And don't get me started on the obatza! They mentioned it was a mixture of Camembert, Brie, shallots, paprika (gives it that orange color) and a few other ingredients, so good mixed with the sinus clearing heat of the mustard. The schmaltz had a great rich flavor and would be yummy if used to fry some latkes or in a gravy. I should've known they were gonna be that good when the hostess asked me how many I wanted! The staff was really nice and I'll definitely be back to try more. read more

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of eating at. The best old fashioned, the best German food, it shines in every way. I've been here a couple of times and it never fails to be a superstar! read more

We love German food, and this place is amazing! The pretzel, dips, and the beer cheese soup were delicious. Had the jagerschnitzel and the winerschnitzel with the sides. Everything was delicious. Best warm potato salad we have eaten. Excellent German beet. Will definitely come again! read more

Absolutely love this place! The ambiance is beautiful and service is friendly and prompt. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and the restaurant is very cozy in the winter. The food is consistently excellent, and the happy hour menu is also killer! I haven't had anything I didn't like on the menu. Must try's are the Bretzel, Weisswurst, Rabbit, and Apple Strudel! read more

I met some dear friends for dinner here due to the close proximity to where we'd all be that night, and I'm very happy that we chose Stammtisch. I'd been longing for great schweinzhaxe since Gustav's doesn't really exist anymore (save for the one location in Vancouver), and a trip back to Munich is a bit impractical. Stammtisch's example was quite good! Seems to be made the authentic way (roasting of a long period of time as opposed to a quick deep fry to crisp up a braised pork knuckle before service). It was tender, crispy, and delicious. On our visit, they were out of Kartoffelpuffer, so we opted for currywurst (lovely, but the wurst link was on the cold side) and a "Bretzel", which was the best I've had since I was in Munich. I'm not a beer drinker, but their variety of German imports was impressive. We were seated outside, which I generally hate, but it was after dark, and the nice overhead lighting and cozy location of the outdoor seats made it pretty easy to forget that we were outside. Service was friendly and prompt, which was great (again, being outside, it seems easy to be forgotten about). I'd definitely return, and am looking forward to our next visit. read more

I came here for dumpling week for their version. It was dry and a bit tough to eat. In addition, the service was not friendly or warm. I came here and felt like I wasn't welcomed. I was also served a beer that was really foamy. It wasn't worth my time or money. read more

It's difficult to name my favorite restaurant, but Stammtisch comes quickly to mind. And for beer it's #1. They added a new yummy item to the Happy Hour menu: fries topped with a delicious ragu-like tangy pork. Turns out my favorite beer, the dark Hef with banana cloves, is a seasonal. I had to settle for the lighter Ayinger Brau Weisse which is more suitable for hot weather. As I've stated in previous reviews, the glassware they use makes a positive difference. Love this place. read more

Run, don't walk, for the Schweinshaxe. The crispy skin was exquisite. I also really liked the schmaltz with the pretzel.

Comfort food at its finest! The Maultaschen are packed with flavor and just the right amount of heartiness. The clams were a highlight as well, wish it came with more bread! read more

I hate to downgrade a review for a beloved neighborhood restaurant, but last night's experience just left something to be desired. The first few times we ate here, the food was so excellent. I always like to get the fish special, which they rotate seasonally, and it's been wonderful. The last time I had it, the meal was probably one of the top 10 I've had in Portland. We decided to go last night for my birthday. Our server was very friendly and efficient. For an appetizer, we split the Maultaschen, which is a pasta dish. This was very, very good, sort of like a German version of ravioli in a delectable cream sauce. But things went haywire with our entrees. This time, the fish was salmon and it just wasn't very good. It was very, very bland and slightly sour, not exciting or special at all. My husband got the pork shoulder, which was very fatty. They top it with some sort of fried pork skin and when you pull it up, it's just all fat. It was really gross and unappetizing. I saw someone else complaining about this in another review, maybe take it off the menu? I decided to get the apple strudel for dessert and that was delicious. But when the appetizer and desserts are the stars of the meal, something is off. We will definitely come back, but this visit was somewhat disappointing. read more

Very enjoyable dining experience. Tamar was our friendly, efficient and very personable server. We enjoyed their delicious pretzel with schmaltz, (that's a no for me), mustard and obatzda. We ordered a big plate of French fries, a couple of sausages and some kraut. Everything was piping hot and well prepared. read more

I chose the Linzensuppe. Bland, blah and undeserving of its place on the menu. The beer offerings are fine. Bretel was good, but smallish. Wish my second visit here was as good as my first. read more

Hope you like German beer - cause this joint has all of them. OK, a slight exaggeration, but they certainly do stock a lot of the styles. Anyway, I stopped in for a quick drink, pre-Thanksgiving and even though the place was packed, the bartender was totally attentive- even giving samplers of a couple of brews to my indecisive wife. Service is spot on: efficient yet friendly and not rushed. These guys are pros. My refreshing Bitburger Pils was just the ticket on this evening and the plate of fries came out nice and thin and crispy - just the way we like 'em - with a lovely curry ketchup to dip them into. Warm and cozy room inside, dim lighting and warm wood, with a holiday feel this week to boot. A solid pub to duck into on a rainy night. read more

Feels like walking down a cute Portland street and popping into Germany. Excellent service. We were sat earlier than promised and lucked out with a booth. Loved the selection of dark beers. Pretzel was good but potato pancake was a hard pass and lacked flavor. Would order the spatzel and wienerschnitzel all day long. We also ordered the chicken which they warn takes a while. Meat was tender but I was full by the time it came as I shared my husband's meal and enjoyed it more. Main downside is it was ridiculously loud. Felt like I'd gone to a rock concert and could barely carry a conversation. read more

We stopped in for some refreshments on a cold icy day in Portland? This bar is located on the corner in a very trendy area of Portland! We came here as we were on our hunt for good German beer! And it's hard to find places that specializes in German beer on the west coast! Even harder to find places that offer German food and beer! Within Portland there are several places to go to for food and beer! This review is principally for refreshments! At this restaurant you will find a solid list of beers, wines and some cocktails! If you are a German beer fan, then this is your place! Liters are nicely priced, especially in comparison to Los Angeles! And for non beer drinkers, it's nice to see they have wine and cocktails! To complement our drinks: we ordered a pretzel! The pretzel seemed homemade! The pretzel came with mustard, chicken fat and a cheese spread! Very typical items to complement a pretzel! The pretzel was six dollars! The pretzel was kind of small but fresh! As we read desserts are good: we got a strudel too! This was not on our agenda! The cream that came with the strudel was super fresh and homemade! The strudel was above average in quality! As for service! We were provided everything requested! The server was attentive but not overly friendly! We were a bit offended that the bill was thrown down on the table rather than handed over or placed right next to us! Anyways if you are seeking German beer, this is a good place to drop in! read more

I don't know why we waited so long to go here. It was always on my long list, but somehow never made it to the top. Until one October day, while we were out running errands and we became wicked hungry. My husband Google mapped nearby restaurants and mentioned Stammtisch. Yes, let's go!! I expected a wait, seeing as though it was a Saturday at noon, but we were seated right away, as if it was our regular table. Stammtisch tranlates to 'regular table,' and that's the way they treat all of their guests, like regulars at a corner pub. The cozy atmosphere feels a bit more like an old British pub, but the vast selection of German beers on tap proves otherwise. On that first visit, I ordered the Venusmuschein, a steaming bowl of clams in a complex tomato, basil, garlic and white wine broth that was ridiculously flavorful. Paired with the Paulaner seasonal ale, it was perfection! My husband ordered a Hofbrau original and the Reuben sandwich. To him, the Reuben is a benchmark by which to judge any retsuarant/pub, and after just one bite, this Reuben quickly jumped to the top of his list. It's the perfect balance of juicy pastrami and sauerkraut (both made in-house) with German gruyere, and Russian dressing on griddled rye. Doesn't get much better than this one. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that on subsequent visits, we have both ordered exactly the same things -- they're just that good! Go and find your regular table. You won't regret it! read more

We felt like having German food and found Stammtisch after looking at Yelp reviews. It was a hit. It was a busy night for them. We were lucky enough to get the last order of Schweinshaxen. It was our first time trying that dish and we really enjoyed it. It's a big, roasted pig knuckle that is crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. One serving was big enough to feed two of us. One of the people in our group ordered the Wienerschnitzel. That turned out to be a pretty good sized serving and was delicious. If you like soft, German pretzels, they have them here, too. We love trying new restaurants. Sometimes you find one that is really a hidden gem. This is one of them. We'll definitely be back. read more

We typically only make it out here once a year, but got lucky today as it was nearby. We had a group of 4 and came during lunch. Great vibes, service, and lunch menu! We missed the Spätzle, but will have to come back again for dinner! Danke! read more

We decided to celebrate my husband's birthday and wanted to go to a German restaurant. We chose Stammtich. So glad we did! First of all, the ambience was warm and pleasant, looked like places I have seen in Germany. Our server was pleasant, present and knew the menu well. Sort of like being hosted by a friend. The food was delicious and each dish distinct, no sauce or vegetable the same. (We are the kind of family that shares bites, so we all got to try everything!) We shared two starters - the cucumber salad and the warm pretzel. Yummmm! The rabbit dish was tender and succulent. The Wienerschnitzel was tasty, but a bit dry. A touch of sauce on the dish would have cured that easily. The pasta with cheese, Maultaschen, was terrific, we all agreed. The seared pork loin, Jagerschnitzel, was lovely too. Because it was a birthday, we tried the Apple crisp. Served with a large dollop of cream. It was warm, crispy and delicious! We are looking forward to our next visit to Stammitsch! read more

Time and again, simply great German food. We lived in Bavaria for three years and the food and beer bring us back in time.

Okay this is a delayed review, but came here for lunch one day and enjoyed it. The Bretzel was hot and lightly buttery, nice big salt flakes, and loved the schmaltz that it came with. The currywurst came with a big pile of perfectly crispy fries, which was a nice surprise, since I didn't see that written anywhere on the menu. We also enjoyed the bratwurst with sauerkraut and house mustard. Note: Service was just okay. We asked for and never received a refill of water. Also the outdoor seating is designed such that you get lots of dust from passing traffic. read more

Good food and atmosphere. It was fairly busy but the service was prompt. Very good beer.
