One of the better German places in town, its authentic but a little run down. Service is good, but this place is no where as good as I'm use to back in Cincinnati where they have tons of great German delis and eateries. I've eaten at four other German places since then and overall if your craving German food In Colorado Springs I suggest going here.
Most authentic German food in town.... Having had friends from Germany come and stay in Springs..... They give Uwe's the German Duetsch Seal Of Approval... From the Beer's to the REAL German Server's....... Salad.... Schnitzel..... Also the Weekly Special's....Rouladen is Excellent!!! Wunder Bar..... Super....
An absolutely great German restaurant. Food just like my mom used to make me. On my visit I had the roulade. It was tender and very flavorful. With it I had the potato dumplings, red cabbage and side orders of sauerkraut and hot German potato salad. They all were very, very good. My wife had the sauerbraten and raved about it. She had the house German salad with her meal. It was just like I had in my childhood. It had lettuce, cucumbers, potato, onion and a very good dressing on it. I had the Hungarian goulash soup with my meal and enjoyed it very much. The light rye bread they serve went perfect with the meal. We finished with the Bavarian apple strudel with whipped cream. It was deliciously warm and a perfect end to our meal. Portions were large and were had enough to take home for another meal. This is real home cooked German food. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Our service was great. Don't pass this place up.
Fabulous food at very reasonable price. I almost did not try eating here for lunch because the prices were so inexpensive. I am glad I did. Very authentic German food that tasted great. The portion was definitely dinner sized and way more than I usually eat for lunch.
Generally good. Pretty good overall, great veal cordon Bleu. Frozen mixed veggies for a $20 meal was odd. Good beer. Good service. German sides are just weird, certainly not the restaurants issue.
I followed the recommendations and had a great meal. Don't miss the Hungarian goulash soup with chunks of tender roast beef in a spicy broth. The veal was as tender as anything I've had.
Don't -- don't -- leave without having the apple streusel, even if you have to carry it home in a bag after such a full meal. The streusel is more like apple pastry than apple pie and can't be neglected.
I think they take reservations here. It's a good idea to try to make one since the place was packed when I arrived 10 minutes after the doors opened on a Saturday night.

I have been eating at Uwe's since the late 1980's and nothing has changed, not a single thing except the prices and they are still very fair!
Large portions, rich sauces, tender schnitzel, succulent bratwürst, homemade späetzel, fresh bread, delicious salads, frothy beer, and zesty goulash, everything you would expect from a German restaurant, all set the tone for authentic German dining right here in Colorado Springs.
My favorite is the wiener (veal) schnitzel cordon bleu, two breaded veal cutlets stuffed with ham and cheese then baked to gooey perfection, served with a side of Hunter's (mushroom) sauce, crispy home fries, and veggie of the day. Meals are preceded by fresh pumpernickel bread and an assortment of German potato salad, crisp greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers topped with a light vinaigrette dressing or soup.
The roulade is a traditional Bavarian stuffed cabbage with ground meat, rice, and spices enveloped with fresh cabbage leaves and topped with a light tomato sauce, accompanied by German potato dumplings (späetzel) and red cabbage.
For those with a zest for the spicy, the Hungarian Paprika Schnitzel ($14.25) is a good choice and the Jäegerschnitzel ($14.25), breaded pork cutlets covered with a thick mushroom sauce is always a hearty, filling, rib-sticking meal.
Uwe's has a nice selection of beer, domestic and import, with the Wärsteiner Dünkel, a dark, frothy, delight being my go-to beer for German meals. Desserts are traditional and inexpensive with apple strüdel ($3.50) and ice cream ($.50) taking center stage for those with voracious appetites and room leftover for a little sweetness.
The service is always good and, as you would expect in a German establishment, efficient with little small talk while remaining friendly and helpful.

We Thank you for being Great Cooks Happy Holidays from the Strehls
This is hands down the most amazing german food ever!
I think is one of the better German food places in town. It was busy and the atmosphere was really nice when I had came here. Prices are decent but unless you have kids who love german food, it isnt really kid friendly for those toddlers that only like a select few things. They had nice live music which i really enjoyed.

Fantastic food and atmosphere, we have been going for years. Their Veal Wienerschnitzel is fantastic as is their fried potatoes and bread. Highly recommended if you are in the Colorado Springs area.
This was the first time I'd had German food before, and I will say it's quite good. I can't remember the name of the dish I had as it was quite complicated, but regardless, the main entreè wasn't too bad, the gravy was quite good.
But the main thing I loved the most was the appetizer which was Creamy Green Bean Soup; oh my lordy this was so good. It was a fantastic combination of both Cream of Mushroom Soup and the unique flavor of Green Beans. I only wish that it was a larger portion or that you could order a larger portion of it.
The only reason I gave the food a 4 star instead of 5 is due to the small selection of food. The selection was quality but none of it seemed super super appetizing. I'll still highly recommend this place and certainly plan to visit again!
Took my German mother-in-law for lunch. We enjoyed a wonderful meal. Her bratwurst and sauerkraut plate was flavorful and filling. I have not had better sauerbraten anywhere! The beef was tender and delicious. The potato dumplings and red cabbage completed the plate beautifully. We enjoyed a couple of German white wines, suggested by our server. The service was great and prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food served. I truly enjoy the cute, European style decor, and the homey feel of Uwe's.
We wanted something different and nostalgic. This place delivered on both fronts. The food was good and priced at about $20 per plate for dinner (they serve lunch too). MUST MAKE A RESERVATION! They have very few tables in the restaurant. The atmosphere is very minimal but it doesn't matter when you get your food, They have a vegetarian option for those who need it which I appreciated. The location is also a little sketch and reminds me of a diners, drive-ins, and dives episode. But give it a try when you want some real German food.
If you're looking for the most authentic German experience in the city, this is the place to go.
The food will surpass expectations, and anybody who came up with German/European grandparents, expect to be reminded of their house. It's that kind of authenticity that sets this place leagues above anywhere else in the city.
Food and staff are great! Lunch is extremely affordable and the service was surprisingly quick. The only thing I had any problem with was the saurbraten was surprisingly mild. This may just be a personal taste thing as I like things tangy.
The food was delicious. The staff are very friendly.
The food here was amazing! It was very authentic, it was like eating in Germany. Several customers we spoke with had all lived in Germany and raved about the food. Other customers were German. The service was also spot one. Great place, highly recommend.
Delicious! I started dinner with the goulash soup and German rye bread then I had the Jaegerschnitzel with red cabbage and fried potatoes, great meal.
I don't live here but would reccommend it id you are looking for authentic German food.
My parents are in their 90’s and for years this has been their favorite restaurant.We lived in Germany for 2 years and the food at this place is as good,if not better,than the food we had overseas.You will not be disappointed with anything you choose off the menu.Owners and staff have been like family to us.The Scimemi family loves you.
