If you are a fan of German food and fun atmosphere be sure to check out this place! Our wait staff was fabulous and friendly! Everything we ordered was delicious. The building is super cool and has been maintained so well. I can't wait to return and sit outside or enjoy Oktoberfest! Prost!

Let's talk about the excellent here first. The atmosphere was very pleasant and seemed to transport you to an old German town. The Sauerbraten was excellent and the portion size perfect. The rye bread that accompanied the meal was excellent and I was a baker for several years. The Blueberry Cider I had from on tap was actually the best hard cider I have had. If I rated only on these items it would be 6 stars. When I entered the and was greeted it was not with a smile and genuine welcoming attitude. My server by the way was really great though. However this was their first opportunity to be friendly and welcoming and they missed it. On the food, the Spaetzle and mash potatoes both seemed to have been warmed over as sides. They were warm at best and it felt like they were from previous day. The taste was good for both but for the price of the meal I expect made to order or for current service period food. Fix those things and I would say your profits would soar.

Beautiful restaurant with an attentive staff that was friendly. The giant pretzel was delicious. I had the Friday special of catfish with fries and slaw. There was little if any salt used. My son got the bratwurst it was tough and lacked flavor. My mother got a sampler type meal and she complained as well about the lack of seasoning. If they could find their way to the seasonings cabinet it would have at least been eatable. I hope it was just an off day for the cooks.

On a recent work trip to Evansville I was told to try this place out. After about Fifteen minute drive from the hotel I arrived at a late 1800's hardware store repurposed into a restaurant. The place transports you back to an earlier, simpler time almost immediately. A vintage register greets you as soon as you enter, and you can immediately sense this building has been around a long time. There are 50 beers on tap, including several German varieties, and I tried the Octoberfest by Spaten. I asked the waitress, who was courteous and quick, what she recommended and she suggested I try one of the sampler options. I complied and was greeted about twelve minutes later with a massive and delicious combo.I highly recommend you try this place out next time you're in the area.

We have never ever had a bad experience at the Gerst Haus, and plan our road trips when we are in the area to include a stop for dinner if we are anywhere nearby.The draft beer list is amazingly large, featuring local and German style beers. Order yours in an iced goblet/fishbowl for the full impact. The menu is full of German classics, with an additional back page of "American" items. I love the pork schnitzel with red cabbage and hot potato salad; other family favorites are various sausages, spatzle, and goulash.

Ice cold beer - amazing draft selection. Appetizers like the ham rolls and sauerkraut balls were yummy! Schnitzel and warm potato salad can't be beat! Service was really good and attentive!

I happened to be in the area and was really wanted to have a really good german meal. I had eaten here before and was very impressed tue first time. This time around was a major disappointment. I had orders the weiner schnitzel with spaetzle and red cabbage. What did I get I am not sure as the so called spaetzle didnt look like spaetzle, looked like raw doug amd also tasted like raw dough. Schnitzel was good but for the cost, it should have been bigger. Was so disappointed. My boyfriend got the smoked pork chop and he said it tasted like it was smoked yesterday and heated up today. Not good. Would not recommend if you are wanting german.

It was a fairly quiet weeknight and I sat toward the end of the bar in front of a tv. The bartender was very helpful with the drinks and menu. They had quite a drink menu to start with so I opted for an Oktoberfest flight. For a started I got the sausage sampler. I liked 2 or the 3 sausages.For dinner the menu was huge with many great options so I decided to get a three meals with 2 sides: Goulash, Beef Stroganoff, & Smoked Pork Chop - 8 Oz.All the food was excellent. I personally enjoyed the pork chop and stroganoff the best. Good meal in a great traditional German restaurant.
