W0W! The food is the best! I highly recommend the lemon caper salmon. And I cannot stop thinking about that yummy gooey bread pudding!!! The nice server warned us of large portions, but we didn't listen, then couldn't eat half of one. It was BIG! Our server was the best we've had anywhere. Such a nice, humble and welcoming setting. No big chain with harried staff. read more

The Haus Bistro is one of those spots that stands out because it actually offers something different. The food leans German-style with some upscale, unique options you don't see everywhere. I finally tried it after years of passing by, ended up going in on a slow workday by myself, and I'm glad I did. The artichoke hearts were honestly one of the highlights, really well done. The beer selection is also unique and worth exploring if you're into trying something outside the usual. Service stood out too. I had a newer waitress who was still in training, and she handled everything really well. Attentive, polite, and didn't miss a step, which says a lot. The place itself is clean and has a classy feel without trying too hard. It's not somewhere I'd go all the time, but that's kind of the point. It feels more like a spot for special occasions or when you want something a little more unique and elevated than the usual rotation. Solid experience overall. 4 stars. read more

We walked in and immediately loved the ambience the positive vibe from the waitress who greeted us and when we sat down at the bar to go through the menu, we fell in love with every dish, so it was very difficult to choose just one thing. We love, deep-fried, artichoke hearts, and they are nonexistence in this valley except now they serve them at Haus bistro.! they were delicious as well as my chicken, lemon and capers, scallopini, and my husband's chicken Parm all with homemade sauces made fresh daily in House. During the whole time, our waitresses, Ashley and Samantha were attentive, friendly, informative, and helped make our diet experience even better! We finished our dinner with their wonderful homemade bread, pudding with candied pecans, and caramel sauce. The meals are huge, and their prices are really great for the portions you receive. The manager of this location came up, greeted us as well as every other table and was very helpful with her staff and friendly, and you can tell that she has taken the time to accommodate everyone who walks in the door. We highly recommend Haus Bistro and can't wait to return... read more

Here's the revised version with your burger comment added smoothly: Food: The food was good overall. Here's what we ordered: * Fried Pickles: I had never seen them served as spears instead of chips before. They were really tasty and crunchy. * Bruschetta: A little underwhelming, but not bad. * French Country Burger: The burger was good, and the fig jam and brie worked really well together. Service: Our server was attentive but did seem a little overwhelmed at times. Ambience: It felt a bit warm inside, and I wish there was a little more space between the tables. read more

Awesome food and service. Their food is consistently good. The drinks and food is great.

Great food and service, nicely appointed restaurant! We try to come here at least once a month and between the 3 of us I think we have tried everything on the menu. Nothing has ever disappointed. read more

My friends and I wanted German food; we'd been to the oak glen location and loved it. The calimesa location didn't have the selection of German beers and the menu was different, we decided we preferred Oakglen! The calimesa location has great hours, their competitors are closed on sunday and Monday. It's a nice quiet restaurant, and the service was top notch. We ordered the apple streusel, it was decadant and a huge portion for sharing! read more

What a great experience! We drove 50 miles to try out this spot after someone shared a review with me. it was well worth the drive. We were seated quickly by the friendly Staff. Our amazing server Samantha had our beverages out quickly. Her suggestions from the menu were spot on! By the way, the menu was perfect! Just the right amount of variety without being overwhelming. My wife slumped down and melted from how good the chicken marsala was. She said she would come back again just for her dish. Every part was perfect. I have had steak sandwiches all over Southern California and this was right there at the top of my list. It was so good and at almost a foot long it was great value. Now those chips were amazing as well. Great job guys. It's a nice spot that is laid out well. Table size is great and lighting is perfect. Parking is a bit of an issue on a Friday evening so be patient. But, Samantha was the star of the evening. From her suggestions to service she was fantastic! Thank you! read more

Haus Bistro is a very quaint, one of a kind restaurant in the small town of Calimesa. Calimesa, a quiet afterthought hidden at the base of the San Gorgonio foothills is midway between Oak Glen (apple country) and the Palm Springs (desert). Haus Bistro offers a very interesting, unique international menu for a surprising dining experience. Their German cuisine entrees were what motivated me to give them a chance. I had the jaeger schnitzel, a thinly pounded pork tenderloin with a rich, brown mushroom gravy. I was extremely pleased for it's rich authentic flavor and generous size. The red cabbage that came as a side was also delicious albeit sweeter than I expected. I would have loved having some German potato salad instead of spaetzle or potatoes, but I don't recall if they even offered it. Fortunately for me, not too far away is George's Market, a small German mom and pop market/deli, where I can always fulfill that craving. So, the other dish ordered was a classic Monte Cristo sandwich. It looked spectacular, but ended up being a major disappointment for being extremely greasy. Mr. B ended up eating mostly filling and very little of the French toast bread. He would not recommend this. One of the fun items we tried were their house made kettle chips. The plain version of their chips came with the sandwich. Yummy! But there is also an appetizer, called Barrel Room Chips, a taste sensation that takes a crispy kettle chip and pairs it with parmesan cheese and rosemary. The chips come out hot, fresh out of the fryer and are a real treat. The next day they were still sensational. Since we don't live in the area, I can only give our first impressions, but I would be happy to return to try some of the other compelling items on their menu. read more

First visit, 1:00pm on a Thursday. There were 20 or so customers but only one waitress. The food was great but the wait was unacceptable. Waitress was very sweet and apologetic. Also, it became very warm before someone finally turned on the A/C. Probably won't return... read more

Great German food is so hard to find. The jaeger schnitzel was just like Oma would have made along with great spaetzel and red cabbage. Service was friendly and attentive. Nice selection of local craft brews as well. The restaurant is Bavarian and the vibe is Willkommen! read more

You have to try this hidden gem in Calimesa. From first entry through desert we were treated like old friends by Ashley and the food and drink was some of the best in all of so cal and we eat out a lot! I would be more than proud to bring anyone I care about here. Also the ambience and music was exactly to our taste. Thank you so much! read more

You ever eat a meal that was good, but nothing like it was supposed to be? Welcome to The Haus Bistro! I ordered the Blackened Shrimp and Pesto Chicken Pasta. The shrimp was good, but I'd hardly call it blackened. The chicken and sauce were good, but I'd hardly call it pesto. The side salad came with a nice vinaigrette. My wife got the salmon salad, but wouldn't order it again: Kinda tough and flavorless. (I had some and would agree.) read more

The current Yelp 4.4 Star review is too low! The lunch food and service today were top notch. We arrived a bit before opening, but Georgie, our waitress, let us come in and pick a table. I had the peanut butter cream draft beer, and Georgie offered me a taste just to be sure! I've never had that option so I took it and the beer was a surprise and quite satisfying. For lunch, it was the Bistro Steak sandwich, which featured tri-tip and gorgonzola cheese, accompanied by Haus-made chips. The sandwich was different and perhaps the best tri-tip sandwich I have ever had, and I have had many. The gorgonzola and tri-tip pared really well, and the chips were spot on. Given the incredible service and food, I have The Haus Bistro bookmarked for a return for dinner real soon! read more

Wow. I LOVED this place. My sister took me for the first time and it is just the cutest inside with twinkly lights. The food was absolutely spectacular. Among two of us, we split one sandwich and one appetizer and it was the perfect amount for lunch. The pastrami was full of flavor and delicious. The pretzels were absolutely marvelous, soft on the inside and a very slight crisp on the outside. My mouth will definitely be watering til I can come back again. My sister said the brioche buns are also amazing, so I will have to come back soon to try them! read more

We went to Haus Bistro on a Saturday night and it was fantastic. Not too crowded and the service was great, super friendly. The food, omg, the food. So dang good! I enjoyed the Bistro Steak sandwich and it was fantastic. Very big, too. The ONLY downside of our whole experience was the fact they did not have more than one high-chair so we ended up holding our baby the entire time we ate. Other than that small detail, it was a fantastic experience. read more

Food is wonderful. We had Lemon Chicken scallopini, and Hot Honey Salmon, both out standing. A small side salad is perfect size and well priced. Our server was Anna, she absolutely perfect . The menu is beautiful, I can't believe I haven't heard of this place until now. Can't wait to go back again. My one complaint no bread served with the meal. Gotta have good bread. read more

I want to give this place a 10! Who knew, a little place in Calimesa would leave such an impression? My oh my, this place is one of the best restaurants I have been to in my adult life. The Hot Honey Salmon with Brussels was prepared exactly the way I like it. My husband ordered the Wiseguy sandwich and to my surprise he was very pleased. He's a difficult one to please. The ambience was so great! They are played all the songs from 80's KROQ!!! And I will not forget to mention our service was excellent! Georgie was upbeat, very informative when it came to the beers and the food and her vibe was perfect! Thank you Georgie! read more

Great food! Every dish a family member or friend has had here looks delicious and was well enjoyed! My fave is the Haus turkey sandwich!! The lemon chicken Scaloppini is also excellent! read more

So. Freaking. Awesome. The food, the service, the music... and yes, the selection of beer! We were lucky enough to go in on an early Thursday afternoon... kinda slow. Heather was *the* best! I didn't know which beer to chose, (my husband did) but heather asked all the right questions, and introduced me to a beer I LOVED! The food is ah-may-zing! From the spinach artichoke dip (served with the best toasted French bread) to our meals, (mine was "From the Garden sandwich as I'm a vegetarian) everything was delicious! Do yourself a favor, go! Have some good food and a good time! read more

Such great food!!! Hidden gem in Calimesa! A definite must go to! The hot honey salmon was to die for! And desert too

We had an archery shoot in Cherry Valley and stopped here on our way home. I am bad with names but the two servers were very nice and attentive. Now for the food! We started with the bruschetta and it was delicious! I ordered the Cubano Sandwich and it was like a patty in my mouth! So delicious. My hubby got the chicken Marsala and loved it. He is not a big fan of garlic mashed potatoes but said they were really good. It is about an hour from our house but we will be back even if we donMt have a shoot. read more

The food is amazing!! The staff & service is always great. If you want a nice dinner with many options this place is fantastic!

The hidden gem in Calimesa. Great food, Great service. All the food is delicious but the burgers are my favorite.

This place is deceiving. It looks like a beer hall and a New York bistro, but with a casual California vibe. Just go and try their food and the place zooms up to the top of your list first yummy eating. The waitresses were friendly and efficient. The food... outstanding. We loved it so much that we went back two nights in a row. I had the Weiner Schnitzel one night. Cooked perfectly. My husband had the veal parmigiana and my daughter had the chicken Marsala. We were surprised to find this kind of variety in such an out of the way place. The second night, we had to try their desserts. The best bread pudding ever! Go out of your way to eat at this surprising gem. read more

It was nice to find a restaurant that offers something different: Modern European. It's quite simple inside, where their elaborate bar is the star feature. While it was easy to get to, the shared parking was a bit tricky. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. I have pics of their menus. They are featuring their Tuesday openings, and so I have a pic of the Tuesday specials (this was as of August 2023). We shared their Jaeger Schnitzel. This is thinly pounded pork tenderloin, about ¼ inch thick and lightly breaded. Then it is pan fried and covered with a creamy mushroom and onion sauce. I liked that the breading was thin. The breading and the sauce, both, were mildly flavored. The onions, see my pic, were cooked but yet added a bid of texture. The pounded pork loin, was tender but needed a knife to cut it. The spaetzle, it's in the upper left-hand side of the plate, are really very small egg noodle balls. They had the requisite chew and carried the sauce well. We also shared their Grilled Turkey Sandwich. As you can see from my pic, the turkey had a nice amount of thick sliced breast meat and a nice slice of smoked mozzarella. The smokiness was a great enhancement to the turkey and cheese. These paired well with the thick cut bacon and garlic aioli. The Kettle Chips were habit forming - you can see there is a bunch of crunch there. read more
