Suppenküche

Our go-to for Hayes Valley dining. Great food and beer selections with a chill vibe. Wesley and Kat top off the whole experience with their personable and friendly service. A definite recommend!

The place has a cozy atmosphere, and the chicken schnitzel and Spätzle are absolutely amazing. We usually prefer sitting at the counter, because we can get immediate service and a more intimate experience compared to the communal tables.My only downside is the quality of the wines, which is disappointing. While I understand that, as a German restaurant, the focus is on beer, they could really make an effort to offer better wines. The current selection feels like $7 bottles from Safeway, which is a shame. It would be wonderful to pair such a delightful meal with a decent (not necessarily top-tier, but good) glass of red or white wine.

The best German food that I've had in the Bay Area. Especially love the Sauerbraten .Not very large inside so you will likely be sitting with strangers but still comfortable. If you order a liter ask for a boot!

As someone who lived in Germany for over ten years I'd consider myself a German street food expert. Unfortunately, this place did not hold up to its reviews and reputation. We ordered the: Currywurst - Sauce was dry and only covered half the meal, bratwurst was barely heated upRed Wine Marinated Braised Beef - beef and sauce were good. Spatzle were dry. Dumplings with Mushroom - goodThe service is great (even though the staff pronounce the German dishes all wrong ). Vibes and ambiance are wonderful if you're looking for a bustling place! Lots of big tables.

If you like traditional German fare, look no further. From pork knuckles to schnitzel, this place offers a lot of what you'd find in Germany. Everything was amazing. It's really a hidden GEM in the SF Bay Area. Great value for the price and a must try!

I have found that good central European food can be rather hard to find in the US, so as a huge fan of schnitzel, I was really quite excited (and cautiously optimistic) when my friend told me about this local German restaurant.We came by for an early-ish dinner (around 5:30 or 6) on a Friday; the place was quite empty, and most people actually wanted to sit outdoors, so there was only one table other than us in the indoor dining area.They had a few daily specials that the server introduced to us (the schweinshaxe sounded really yummy), but obviously we had to order the schnitzels. For the two of us, we picked the wienerschnitzel and jägerschnitzel to share.The wienerschnitzel came in a surprisingly large portion size and was super delicious. The breading wasn't too heavy (wasn't too oily when fried), and the pork was tender, flavourful, and just a very solid cut throughout. The side roasted potatoes were fine, but nothing too special (ditto for the side salad).The jägerschnitzel was also amazing :) I really loved how rich and fragrant the mushroom sauce was without being too heavy, and it went really nicely with the juicy sauteéd pork. This one comes with a side of spätzle, which is also a particular favourite of mine (and similarly hard to find in good quality in the US). Much like everything else, it was fantastic - not too oily, really well cooked, and tasted really good with the mushroom sauce.They also have a great selection of beers (on tap and otherwise), we went with the Hefeweizen which is always a solid choice (when it's the correct Weihenstephaner brand, of course!) Drink prices were pretty reasonable throughout, from what I could tell.I did think the price point was a bit high, but I suppose that's inevitable nowadays. Regardless, it was such a lovely meal with excellent, helpful, and efficient service. Their menu isn't that big, but I was actually intrigued by almost every main dish they had, so I'm really excited to come back and try more of their menu soon.

Fantastic bier and a great, family friendly restaurant. The service is quick and kind! I've been to this spot multiple times and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere, good food, and great selection of bier. There's first come, first served communal seating indoors and outdoors. Great place to come with a large group of friends and family. I've had many items on the menu which were all delicious. We finally had the chance to share a plate of pork knuckle which was delicious! Definitely get it when it's listed as a special for the evening. Will be back 1000%

It was a beautiful day for outdoor seating, especially since we had our dog Kona with us. The service was friendly and quick, and the outdoor ambiance was great. Our group of seven, plus Kona, enjoyed the Saturday brunch menu.I ordered a side of bratwurst and a potato pancake, which was perfect for my appetite. The potato pancake was crispy on the outside and hash-like on the inside, with a golden crispness that suggested clean oil. Comes with sour cream and apple sauce on the side. The bratwurst was delicious, especially with mustard.My cousin ordered the donuts, which were more like big, fluffy donut holes. They were delicious and filling, despite only being three.The others ordered the chicken sandwich, which came with German red slaw and a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg on brioche. The dill pickled cucumber salad was fabulous and perfectly pickled and refreshing! The portion was perfect, and it was delectable. The food was clean and simple, though I do think it's a bit overpriced--but no regrets! Pet and kid friendly!

The kraut is unbelievable here but very understaffed and therefore also disorganized. It's also awkward standing around not knowing which side of the restaurant is the entrance and waiting a while for first contact. But seriously the kraut is incredible.

I wanted to give this higher points because the service is incredible. But the food was very flavorless. We had the beef, which was tough and not tender (though it had good flavor). The chicken schnitzel, unbelievably was bland. The trout was perhaps the worst dish. Literally zero flavor. The sides were mostly forgettable (the mushroom bread pudding, the spatzle, the cabbage). The one standout side was the potato pancakes (latkes). They do have a good selection of beers, wine, and ciders.The dining room was cute, wooden tables and candles... but the spacing was very very tight. You will likely be sharing a table with another party. I must admit, the service was incredible.
