    Asked for the "Brat of the Day" and the brought me this. Really weird vibe, there didn't seem to have any a/c as the bartender was sweating aggressively and he had a testicle popping out of shorts. The glizzy was pretty great regardless of where it came from

    Cheese sticks with marinara and ranch
    Christian

    So, I have been to Stuttgarden previously on a busier day, and it was an enjoyable experience. However, there was not anyone behind the bar when I got there this time, which I assumed was because it was a Monday night. The a bartender was very friendly after she took my order though. The food however, was a bit lackluster. The cheese sticks were nice and crispy on the outside with high quality melted cheese on the inside. The sauces were a bit basic though. Marinara and ranch were both nothing special. The Braut Bites however, were not very flavorful at all. The texture was also too hard. And the mustard was far too tangy. I have had a few good things here previously, but these meals were not the best. Womp womp womp. FREY OUT!

    My wife is from Stuttgart and I thought it would be nice to bring her here since it is named Stuttgarden. I guess that's what should've been a red flag since it should be garten. We went on a Saturday night, so it was impossible to find street parking. We ended up parking at the paid lot across the street. The pork cracklins were probably the only good thing we had. It was a HUGE plate that would be enough to share for 3-4 adults. I had a bratwurst sampler with three original brats of Jagerwurst (mild), Smoked Gouda, and Hot Bratwurst. The server did not tell me which was which, but I assumed I could figure it out. I could tell the Smoked Gouda, but could not tell the difference with the other two. For $25, it was not worth it. To drink, I got a flight of beer, which was served in plastic disposable cups, like those you would see at a water fountain. My wife had the Jaeger pork schnitzel. There was hardly any schnitzel and a lot of onions. Also not really worth it for $16. Being a Saturday night, there was a live band playing outside, and it wasn't too loud. If I remember correctly, they were a Beatles cover band.

    My Tom Collin's- maraschino cherry at the bottom

    I was at this bar with a big group of college alumni. The third floor rooftop bar has a great view of the Strand. I loved that part. The closest bathroom was down on the second floor of the bar. I did not love that. They do have an elevator if you aren't up for the stairs. I don't like beer, so ordered cocktails instead. I do not recommend doing so. My Tom Collin's was watery and had a maraschino cherry in it. Weird. My gin and tonic was better, but still weak. My Old Fashioned had lots of small pieces of ice instead of one large cube, and a cheap maraschino cherry in it. It tasted okay, and the strength was decent. Our server was not attentive, and one time I had to repeat my drink order 3 times. For my final drink, he took my order, and while I was waiting, another person in our party went to the bar to get drinks and returned, and there was still no sign of my drink. The person went to the bar and asked for it for me. I would not go back here.

    Battleship Texas and beer

    We were here on a Wednesday middle of the day. I bet this place can be busy as they are right across where the cruise ships load. Great bar, lots of great beers and had a super pretzel with a bacon quest dip. Friendly staff, lots of beer selections, historical and a old Munro level building. Will be back for beer and pretzels. Also a great view of the Battleship Texas in dry dock for repair.

    Pretty inconvenient

    My friends and I stopped in here on a Saturday night as we were bar hopping down the Strand. I've had this place bookmarked for awhile and was excited to finally get a chance to check them out. This place is pretty massive being three stories with a bar on every floor. Every floor doesn't carry the same products so keep that in mind. We made a total of two stops in here that day as we were crawling. The first stop was for drinks and I came all the way up to the third floor to get some water views. There are alot of stairs with one elevator for those needing it. At the bar on the third floor I watched as the bartender serving what looked like regulars who clearly came in after me. He acknowledged I was there, but just kept saying he will be right with me. This went on for awhile and some of my party wanted to say something, but I patiently waited as I really wanted to have a drink on the deck and relax. We did come in later to eat and apparently there were only two servers for that entire second floor. Our food took awhile to come out but the server was nice and communicative. The food was decent, nothing to write home about. Also, there are only bathrooms on the second floor. Three floors of bars but one floor with bathroom. Weird. Just from first impressions, I don't see myself wanting to come back here. There are way too many options on the island for subpar service like I received.

    Hot brat

    June 25, 2022 Been here several times since it relocated not sure why I've never reviewed it before tonight but anyway, Me and a friend came tonight for a Mardi Gras meeting and had dinner after. This location is 3 floors, I've never been here when the first floor is open only the 2nd and top deck. We had a meeting and dinner on floor 2 and ate on the small deck they have on that level that faces the Strand. We ordered from the bar, Morgan T was our bartender (she was the only barkeep) the drinks were ok, key lime martini was not "key lime" don't bother, the Stuttgarden punch was tasty, but too sweet tasted no alcohol at all (both drinks $11 each) We ordered food from the bar as well, we got cheese sticks and a "hot" bratwurst sandwich w/onion rings. Cheese sticks came out quick and were huge; served with ranch. Huh? Marinara, people this isn't chicken wings?! They tasted good though. Huge. We waited 30 minutes for sausage, had to go ask Morgan about it... Somehow, she missed the entree verbiage and only entered the appetizer; we stood there and watched her enter it Soo...??? (they forgot it in the kitchen no doubt) Bratwurst was delicious, served with a side of...wait for it...ranch and spicy mustard that had horseradish in it. The brat wasn't "hot" as described . Served on toasted Hawaiian roll buns that were fresh and tasty but the onion rings were very thick. Too thick, I could hardly taste the onion. Even when this place was Fuddruckers, I didn't frequent it much, Stuttgarden is just the same. Great selection of craft beers, tasty sausage and you can bring dogs, maybe that's what keeps them open?! Not enough for me to go back unless invited.

    Fish & chips

    Food was terrible burnt and disgusting nothing like the menu pictures false advertisement. I only rate one star because the app doesn't let you leave a review without adding a star rating.

    Great find for a rooftop bar while visiting Galveston!! We stopped in the 3rd floor rooftop bar, and it had amazing views of the water, where the cruise ships leave from Galveston. The sea breeze was awesome. We had a couple of cocktails and grabbed a bite to eat. My husband had Cajun spice wings, and I tried a bratwurst. It was very good and the bun was soft and fresh. The homemade potato chips were great, plenty to share. Carson, took great care of us. Great service and cool vibe, with a DJ on Friday night. Nice local hangout. There is plenty of parking on the street.

    Schnitzel Burger. Picture does not do justice so good!!!

    Food was absolutely amazing tried the schnitzel burger and fried pickles either great German beer. Picture does not do justice to the burger I just couldn't wait to dig in! very friendly staff as well. Great place!

    Tourist Trap! Beautiful view from the 3rd floor. Nice server. Husband had the BLT with the Texas toast it was delicious. The fries not crispy. The ranch dressing was delicious. I ordered the Cesar salad the dressing was delicious, the croutons soft not crispy. I added salmon and it was inedible it was like a rock and had a very fishy taste. I don't recommend this restaurant for food.

    Pretzel
    Diana R.

    Schnitzel was huge, so so on taste , crinkle fries were excellent, spicy chicken was great, beef stroganoff needed seasoning but it was plentiful, pretzel arrived cold but it was tasty, bratwurst was Not bratwurst but a long weird sausage, had to ask for more sauerkraut, bread was A Hawaiian roll !!! But tasted good and sweet

    Is it OK to smoke on the outdoor patio?

    Yes, they smoke weed up there.

    I want to come here for drinks and watch the cruise ships come by. What time should I get there? Are seats available outside? Thanks.

The pho was freshly made and the Bahn mi was delish. The bar "cannon balls" were obviously from frozen. I can accept it his but was disappointed with the price for something they just warm up. The pricing was a sticking point. I can accept that venues on the seawall need to cover more costs, but this quality didn't match the charge. Finally, the building in general just felt off. The layout was odd. All high seating (bar stools) makes it difficult for anyone with mobility issues. The theming is thorough, going with the pirate motif, however they also just phoned it in for most of it. The tabletops are screwed into the barrels beneath, with the exposed heads sticking above the table top. The sparse decorations placed inside are mostly from a Halloween store or Pirates of Caribbean props.

(the hotdog photo was taken after I cut a piece off for my friend to try. The burger photo was taken after my friend dug in. Too good to wait!

Abundance of TVs, 2 patio sections with TVs, great inside seating with booths, high tops, and a bar top. Draven was a great server. He kept the drinks coming for our 4 top group.

It is a little farther west away from all the super busy beach places. I prefer that. I think we found a winner! Seems like it could be a locals place, but having a beach house in the area, I'd say that classifies me as a local. :) We will be back, Draven! Thanks for the impressive service!!

Edit: There was a lady that had slipped and fell right at the entrance of the door, and the 3 hostess at the stand were just sitting on their phone. They could have given less of a sh*t. People were asking for the manager and they just looked at the people helping without a glance up from their phone. Terrible. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you care about service and hospitality. Manager needs to do better with employees and training.
