Bavarian Inn Lodge Eureka Springs

Very clean and neat German/Czech restaurant. Great tasting food with European specific. My goulash was fantastic that my son had changed his order just to enjoy his own plate. So was the German chocolate dessert. Very polite and respectful personnel, knowing the etiquette and acting accordingly. Not a cheap place, but definitely you get what you paid for. There is also a lodge with pool, fire place and other amenities along with a small gift shop. I was nicely impressed.

The restaurant looks pretty with a colonial vibe and small tables nicely decorated. We are our dinner here. The server was very well mannered. We started with some sauerkraut soup. The portion size was decent for an appetizer. They provided some house baked rye breads and cubes of butters. The breads were decent. For the main entree I went with the schnitzel and my husband ordered the Bavarian plate. The schnitzel was good, however to my Indian taste buds it was a bit less salty, however nothing to complain. The Bavarian plate was nice and heavy with meats and potato pancakes etc. The food was pretty decent. I took a cup of coffee which they refilled later on. The coffee was very basic, just like a gas station one. Overall, we liked the place. It was a busy dinner hour at that time.

Was a very disappointing visit, have been coming to eureka springs for years and finally made it to the Bavarian Inn.... After standing by the Please wait to be seated sign for 25 minutes we were finally acknowledged and seated few minutes later. Sarah our server was great, other than she never questioned why so much food was left when removing plates. My wife had a fantastic chicken breast with mushrooms and gravy. The red cabbage was very disappointing, it was not at all as I remembered it to taste and I saw quite a few portions returning to be trashed. I had a Bavarian sampler. Bratwurst was very good. Smoked chop was same as you buy at store, nothing special but still tasty. Their famous potato cakes were awful...I could see where if prepared correctly they would be good, but I was served a soggy lifeless cake...it was very disappointing. They were obviously running short staffed, but management should have at least said hello, have a seat till we can get to you...she walked by ten plus times...eyes down , ignoring customers. For the price, I would consider going elsewhere for your money to be well spent. Again, once seated, our server was great and I could see potential for good meal, but not on this night and sadly on our honeymoon not for us. Luckily I had great company to pass the time.

I had been wanting to visit the Bavarian Inn Restaurant for a long time and finally got the chance a couple days ago. We had a wonderful experience. My boyfriend had a beer that he had tried before in Germany and enjoyed - I think it was called Bitbauer? We tried the Hungarian plate, Bavarian plate, and weiner schnitzel. All of our food was excellent but I have to say the best part was dessert. I just cannot stop thinking about the German chocolate cake. It was so good I am writing this review in the middle of the night because it’s the only thing I can think about 2 days later. Seriously if it’s the only thing you do, go there and get that cake. You will not regret it. If my words aren’t convincing enough browse my photos and see how great that cake looks then imagine eating it. They are not paying me to say this. The cake really was just that good. (Hungarian plate not pictured because we ate it too quickly)

It’s simple. If you pay 4 employees standing around not doing anything, and customers are waiting to be seated or get drinks or ANYTHING… take care of those customers. The food was not worth the price, which seems to be typical of the area. Beef in the goulash was extremely tough and dry. Had to saw through it with a knife. Sauce had no flavor except muddled-brown blandness. The soup was luke warm. Everything tasted like it was made earlier in the week and reheated. Go somewhere else.
