I was shocked to see a German restaurant near all these businesses. Thought I'd give it a try, I got the bratwurst sandwich, with red cabbage and potato pancake. The red cabbage was pretty amazing, I'd order a whole plate if I could! I went ham on the spicy mustard, thinking it wasn't gonna be bad. It's a different kind of spicy, not the kind that you have to down a gallon of milk for, more like a hot heatwave to your face!! It was actually kind of addicting, I kept trying it for the experience haha. The brats were good and the pancake was "on point". Not like moms, but next in line. The red cabbage was better than moms! I really wanted a slice of Black Forest cake, but I was stuffed and had a long drive. For sure coming back. The inside is very homey and calm. read more

A true hidden gem. Cozy German spot with great people, great beer, and some of the best schnitzels and bratwurst around. Watching the World Cup here was a blast. Dunkeshen for the awesome lunch. read more

Delicious food, great atmosphere, and incredible service from Davonte. Don't be fooled by the tucked away nature of this restaurant- the flavors delivered and the drinks were also great. This place is definitely worth the visit! If you want great German food- this is the place to go! read more

From the moment I walked in, it felt like a little slice of Germany with all the German writing, photos, fresh flower centerpieces and beautiful landscape scenes decorating the space. Even our server spoke German, which was super cool and added to the vibe. We stopped in just for drinks and a small bite to eat. As soon as we saw the XXL pretzel on the menu, we knew we had to get it! Wow... it did not disappoint! It was warm, soft, and paired perfectly with the cheese sauce. The service was great! Our server was super friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome. They also have a pretty spacious patio area. We didn't sit out there, but I took a sneak peek. It looks like an awesome spot to hang out and socialize with friends on a nice day! Already planning to come back and try more of the menu! The currywurst, schnitzel, and goulash soup came highly recommended. Plus, I'm definitely getting another pretzel! read more

I wanted so much to love this little German restaurant. The venue is cozy and looks and feels the part. We had reservations and were sat at a high top for two. The high top chairs were wildly uncomfortable. Our server was very attentive but did not seem to master her role. Maybe she was a bit new to the position. I tried the German Whiskey and the Cherry Brandy. The whiskey was fine but the brandy was oxidized. I do not think the spirits get ordered very often. My whiskey glass was not clean and I could see mouth marks from the last guest The food was OK. I had the pork schnitzel hunter style. It was cooked properly but the seasoning was meek. The mushroom sauce was tasty but there was very little. My wife had the meatloaf. It is very akin to fried spam or a hot dog. The best bite was the pretzel roll. It was warm, soft, and delicious. We spent $100 and I left wanting something more. Three stars is generous. read more

Amazing little German restaurant. The atmosphere is lovely and they treat you like family. The food is homemade right there in the restaurant and is delicious. We were greeted by Carolina who is so warm and welcoming. It's a very small restaurant so I would recommend reservations. I can't emphasize enough how delicious the homemade food is and how cozy and inviting the restaurant is. Oh and the prices are absolutely affordable and the portions are large. This place is definitely a gem everyone should go to..!!! read more

Treffpunkt - Schweineschnitzel Art (Vienna Style Pork Schnitzel) - German Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

The restaurant is small. The staff/maybe the owner is very friendly. We ordered pork schnitzel and the hunter pork schnitzel as well as a bunch of sides. Everything was delicious. Beer was very good as well. read more

My husband and I were craving Bavarian pretzels after looking at all the cool Christmas lights in Scottsdale, this was the perfect spot! According to their instagram and yelp they were closed but google said open so we called to check. We ordered on DoorDash and it was ready on time for pickup. It's tucked away, was tough to find especially at night! It's a little place! Pickup was quick and easy! We got two pretzels with beer cheese and I got a cucumber salad. The salad was fresh and vinegary! The pretzels were warm and soft, super delicious. I liked the cheese but my husband wasn't a fan as he doesn't like Brie cheese. Really good place for authentic German cuisine! read more

Treffpunkt - Pretzel - German Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I love German food and was excited to come try Treffpunkt for Restaurant Week but ended up disappointed. We were told you could only order off the Restaurant Week menu, which has three entrees. I've never encountered that restriction in all my years here in the Valley. That's fine if that's your decision as a business but then you should note that on your website and on the AZ Restaurant Week site. (I had checked both.) I wouldn't have made the thirty minute drive up if I'd known, as my sons wanted items off the regular menu. To make matters worse, they were out of rouladen, leaving only two entrees to choose from. Though our server was nice, service was very slow and uneven. Once our food arrived it was very underwhelming. The pretzel was very dry and bland with an odd tasting cheese sauce that had a crust on it like it had been sitting around. The schnitzel and spatzle had no flavor and just weren't executed well compared to what I've had before. I will say that the apple strudel was fine. I left very dissatisfied and sorry I'd made the trek. read more

Amazing food, authentic ambiance, fun and friendly staff. I enjoyed my first visit. Prost!

Zero stars really. Had a reservation for 6:15 Saturday evening. Walked in EXACTLY at 6:15. We state we have a reservation. She, who ever works there, says she has no tables available. Yes, we confirmed the day before online thru their message service. We volunteer to eat outside, with the caveat that she won't forget about us. She says, no problem. Fifteen minutes later, no one has even ventured outside. We left. Really, really pathetic way to run a restaurant. read more

The food was excellent, the best sauerkraut I've had outside Germany. The Currywurst had a good kick without being overpowering. The Nürnburger wurst was excellent. Limited draft beer selection but it was Hofbrauhaus and König Ludwig so do you need more? Service was fantastic. I felt like I was back on Germany. read more

The chef who prepared all of the authentic German food and the amazing beer were fantastic. I was so impressed with the thoughtfulness and presentation. To see pieces of the Berlin Wall was such an experience. I'm excited to go back and eat here again! Thank you! read more

Came here to get some lunch and we were pretty upset about the service. From the moment we walked in it wasn't very friendly and we should have left. It wasn't busy either, there was 1 customer when we went in and then throughout our experience it was three of us including my baby. The older gentleman that brought menus was pretty rude and you could tell he didn't want to help us but my mom wanted schnitzel so bad so I stayed. We ordered some goulasch which was good, the schnitzels were alright, the potato pancakes were extremely doughy and weren't cooked all the way inside so we ended up not eating them. We had the worst service, nobody checked on us, didn't bring any condiments, didn't ask if we needed anything else. Ashley the General Manager came over and introduced herself during our meal and finally brought some ketchup. The older gentleman was sitting down on his phone the entire time, walking around the dining area. It took a good 15-20 min for us to get our bill when another employee finally walked back in (they were setting up outside I'm assuming) the dining room we asked him for our check so we can leave. Again, no kind of interaction really he just handed my mom the check. It just wasn't a pleasant experience at all and we didn't enjoy the ambiance of the restaurant one bit. We won't be back. I do like that they sell lebkuchen herzen but I was so over it, I forgot to buy one. read more

I had such a lovely first visit -- what a gem of a place! I loved the spätzle -- had to go extra cheesy, of course, and it was completely worth it. Pure comfort food perfection. I wish I had caught the name of our server (I think it started with an X?), but he was incredibly kind and helpful, patiently walking me through the menu and explaining all the delicious options since it was my first time there. His warm hospitality made the experience even better. Already looking forward to coming back -- next time I'll be trying dessert too! read more

I was very disappointed in some dishes we ordered , The Thüringer was overdone and the Currywurst was so over fried also , was really looking forward to dine at that place since we don't have a lot of German restaurants in Scottsdale . Since I'm German I'm more critical but will give it another try since my friends really liked it ! read more

Super unique spot. I was impressed by the size of the menu and what appeared to be a lot of authentic German recipes. I wish there were more German spots in the greater Phoenix area. It is kind of inconspicuous, given it's in a predominantly business area, but you can identify it by their patio outside. read more

Unfortunately, I feel like this location needs more time before it offers service. We walked and sat ourselves and it took some time before we were helped because the waitress was the only one there also taking phone orders. I understand that this could be the case in any business so we decided to stay anyway to give the food a try as this was our date night and we were craving German food. We ordered an appetizer that was supposed to be a charcuterie board, but it turned out to be the same sliced cheese and salami that you might get if you opened up a package at your local grocery store. Swiss cheese mini squares and layered salami fresh out of the Costco package. They were out of a couple of their beers we tried to order as well as the meat wrapped dish my husband requested. Then our dinner came. Unfortunately, the Wienerschnitzel was not edible as it was so dry. The bread that accompanied your meal was a store-bought bread cut in a triangle. The potatoes were also a strange texture, and the fact that it almost seemed like they were grated finely and then frozen without seasoning. We love sauerkraut of any kind, but the sauerkraut appeared to be pickled with a different flavor that left it so pungent we couldn't eat it. When we were finished with our meal, we waited a significant amount of time for our check because the waitress was sitting down at a table socializing with people she knew from the restaurant. When I say significant amount of time, I mean at least 20 minutes. We wanted to give this place a try because it's very close to our home but unfortunately we won't be returning. It appears they have a lot of sponsors backing the business, which is fantastic. I gave it a two star because of the beer menu however they were out of some of the beers. I'm hoping with more time they gain more structure and support. read more

Great food, great service, nice ambiance. Plan to go again soon. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Been to this wonderful establishment twice now since finding it. I went to Germany back in September and was really missing some traditional dishes. Upon my first visit, the room gave me the historical feel of german heritage. Immediately ordered the Schnitzel with a side spaetzle. The schnitzel came out perfectly cooked golden brown. Nice crisp to it. The spaetzle was the perfect pairing with it. On the second visit, I got a the currywurst with pommes (French fries). Man I felt like I was back in Germany all over again. The food is fabulous and the service from Xander my server both times was exceptionally amazing. I'll continue to keep coming back! Next time I'll get a picture of my third dish! read more

Tried this place for the first time during restaurant week so the full menu was not available. Tucked away in the Scottsdale Airpark. Service was very friendly but slow. Goulash and lentil soup were great. The chicken schnitzel was just okay. It was nice to be able to get a Hofbrau lager on tap though! read more

This difficult to find hidden gem is a great spot for simple German fare. Nothing fancy, nice service.

Fantastic food! Great service. We went here for restaurant week and were pleasantly surprised. Definitely a "rendezvous" spot for sure. Our server was so kind, even though the place was obviously much busier than normal. Took awhile to figure out tables at first but once settle it was a great experience. Our server was joking with us and so nice to our baby girl. Brought her a full plate of strawberries for dessert, without us asking. The schnitzel and apple strudel was amazing and my husband said the kartoffelpuffer (potato cake) is the best he's had outside of Germany. Will definitely be going again! read more

This place is as authentic as it gets, because it is run by the German consulate of AZ, if I'm correct! The food is great, and the staff is friendly. It's also a German community center, so go here to practice your German! Great imported German beers are available, on draft, and in bottles. I always look forward to coming here, it's a hidden gem! read more

went there with high hopes. The service was really good. The food well it was a friday and they didnt have the German staples, No Gulasch, Spatzle. The pretzle was nothing spectacular, the beer cheese, terrible. The potato pancakes , very greesy and premade. the bratwurst, was warm , sauerkraut tatsted like it came from a jar. Nit many giid german places in Phoenix area. read more

What a cool little spot! My parents and I were looking for some authentic German and this did not disappoint. Not the best location, but the food was very good and the service wonderful. Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic German dishes. My parents both lived in Germany when my dad was stationed there for the Air Force in the 60s and I served in Germany for a while as well. Check it out if you're in the area! read more

Had a reservation. Sat and waited 35 mins and no one ever came to our table or acknowledged us. No water or anything. Got up and left.

Our 2nd time in. First time was good , this time not so much. Food was okay, but sauerkraut was very mushy and otherwise nothing was exceptional. Service was very good first visit but poor this time. Server wasn't friendly, she did not fully understand gluten-free and wasn't able to provide clarity about the menu. She also was not aware that happy hour is offered and we were not given happy hour pricing for our first round. I drank only water due to allergy and I was never provided a refill, so I left thirsty! Disappointed as we were hopeful to have a new regular German spot. We'll return to Zur Kate. read more

Had the best experience in this small, quaint industrial building w/ German food, people, accents & community. Want comfort food? Cozy up here - you'll have leftovers & a full belly! Delish! Thank you ! Ambiance is kinda like a kitchen- past that, it's perfect :) read more

This Restaurant / Social Club was everything and more. A slice of Europe right in the heart of Scottsdale. The location was low key and unassuming. Ambience was perfect and the Paulaner on tap was even better. Best German food around. read more

A very cosy, moody and comfortable atmosphere with delicious food. The potato pancakes, pretzel, schnitzel and chocolate cherry cake were all great. It's a very friendly place. Five stars! read more

An incredible orthotic comfortable German restaurant shooting in the commercial district of Scottsdale. Not only is the food exceptional, but there is a charitable foundation focused on bringing together the German in the community and those interested in Germany no better way to build fellowship and friendship them to bring people together over a fine meal. I highly recommend highly unusual and satisfying restaurant. read more

Excellent schnitzel-- best I ever had and I used to live in Cincinnati. Unusual location for a restaurant but fine.

This is the real deal! A true German restaurant. Not German American but legit German food served by Germans. One bite and it tastes like Germany. We even took a family member who just moved here from Germany and she said it tastes like home! The atmosphere is authentic too. The staff was extremely friendly and we enjoyed everything we ate. So sad that it took us this long to find it. We will be back. read more

Went for Restaurant week. They didn't even have the components on the Restaurant Week Menu! We got a plate full of cabbage with our meals and a lame excuse! Don't waste your time coming here! read more

Awesome food, service and Josephine is hilarious and very helpful. We will be back for sure!!!!!!!

Lady saw us walk in and said nothing so we sat down and waited and did not get asked anything. Got up to ask if we can be served and she said we have to go back to the door and wait our turn. The restaurant was completely empty except for one party. Terrible service. read more

Came here for their Christmas Market! What a fun concept in the valley especially since it's so popular in Europe and it's been a hectic year for traveling. There was live music and brats. They also had Leberkaese which was me too me. Very fun new thing to try. Reminds me of spam and ham combined. read more
