Scholz Garten

Fantastic food! We've gone several times with different people, and everyone loved what they got. The giant pretzel is actually made there (not like those frozen, microwaved ones you get at ballparks), and the potato pancakes with homemade applesauce is a great combination. It's also a fun atmosphere during a UT football game.

Amazing atmosphere, it was a terribly hot afternoon yet their patio was extremely pleasant. Their staff is the best, one of the waiters recommended us delicious beer, and definitely earned his tip. Tried some venison spicy sausages with red cabbage, Sauerkraut and dark mustard, great stuff. The potato salad was also perfect. It was easy to understand why Scholz Garten is a true institution in Austin.

I have loved this place for years. I have organized rallies and events that took place here. I've been to watch parties, meetings, and met up with people to just grab a bite to eat. This is a historical landmark in my heart plus the pretzels are incredible. All of their food is delicious so you cant go wrong but they have a secret special recipe for their pretzels that make them addictive. Its an Austin must.

Stopped in one weekday afternoon to grab a bite, I was in the mood for a schnitzel. I sat at the bar and the bartender was nice and attentive. I ordered a coke but he misheard and brought me a beer, which was really tasty, so it worked out in the end. Ordered the Schnitzel Sammy and it came with fries. The aioli on it was very lemony and good, the sandwich itself was a beaut, crispy jagerschnitzel with slaw and a shiny soft bun. Delish. I've been here to have a few drinks before events at the Moody, but this is my 1st time trying the fare. Not bad at all.
