Review Buchner's Bierhalle - Jacksonville

My better half truly felt transported back to Germany. The menu is great, food very genuine. Would have taken more photos of the plates, but we ended up devouring it before remembering to do so. You will have to get your German on there yourselves, don't just take my word for it! Great selection of wine and beer as well!

My wife and I went for a date night on a Friday night. We sat outside which was perfect! They had a DJ playing great music with a chill atmosphere. The service was great! The server provided great beer recommendations to compliment our appetizer (huge pretzel) and meals (bratwurst). This will now be a regular spot for us. The inside is beautifully done also!

I know most people come here for beer. I’m not a beer drinker, so let me tell you about the food. First, I waited way too long to try this place. I think I was worried I wasn’t cool enough or something (it’s a speakeasy behind a vape shop). But I finally went and I found what I believe is the best restaurant in Jacksonville. The music and vibe are great. It looks kind of like someone set up a bar and tiny restaurant in your German grandma’s dining room. You can tell that the entire staff, from the hostess at the very front of the house to the chef at the back,love the place, the food, each other, and their guests. And let me tell you about the food. I actually do have a German grandmother and I have been fortunate to visit Germany and Austria. This is the best pretzel and best schnitzel I have had in the United States. On my first visit I had the käsespätzle with truffle and it was so rich and comforting. Since then I have had the leberkäse and the Reuben. My husband gets the jägerschnitzel every time. The Rueben is great, but I am kind of obsessed with the leberkäse. It’s so simple but so delicious. And the potato pancakes are outstanding - puffy and crisp at the same time. The desserts…OMG. They had me at kirsche torte. Everyone has German Chocolate cake, which is not my thing. Kirsche torte - also called Black Forest cake - is where it’s at. Dark chocolate cake with whipped cream frosting and stuffed with cherries. On my most recent visit they had a new/seasonal strawberry cake and that was also outstanding. If you haven’t been, make a reservation and check it out ASAP.

What a fabulous surprise this place was! You walk into a vape store to the back door.. where you emerge in a full service bar… and then are led to another back door and you enter a lovely lit Biergarten! Total Speakeasy vibe! Selection of beers were vast, and many German ones to pick from. Food was mostly good. Potato pancakes and the sausages really stood out. Side dishes were not cooked correctly at all. Service was very good and the manager even comped us a dessert beverage. I loved the live band playing German music and the wait staff were all in themed costumes. Definitely going back & bringing even more friends! Fun evening in Murray Hill!

Jack is an amazing server. Very sweet and attentive! I enjoyed the bratwurst, which came with potato salad and sauerkraut. I sat in the biergarten where they had a small band called the Rasin Cake Orchestra, and they were excellant. There was plenty of seating and empty tables to spare. What a beautiful evening!!!

From the speakeasy setup - to the service - to the food - to the beer selection = 👏👏👏👏 the only authentic German spot I’m aware of (not sure if Shnitzel house is still around). I love this gem for a unique experience without the pretentious aspect that usually comes along with food served of this caliber

Always enjoy going here with friends! Service is great. Outside area makes for perfect atmosphere. Of course, the food is wonderful. We love sharing the extra large board. The selection of beers are like no other in town & authentic to the German vibe.

The water never gets enough credit. We were served by Elizabeth (but you can call her Libby). Amazing service, outstanding knowledge, and the greatest attitude. She really brought the whole experience together. It was our first time at a German restaurant and she was an amazing tour guide. She had no troubles picking out the perfect beer and snack food for us. The food was amazing but really.. the water never gets enough credit. We will be coming back. Check out their outside eating area with live music on select days.

Gorgeous Beer garden outback. exceptional quality brews and delightful food! the staff is always super positive and well dressed!

Great date spot or just to stop by and have a drink and pretzel. I've done a menu tasting of this place previously and was blown away, I enjoy stopping in when I'm in the area and grabbing one of their delicious pretzels that pairs well with a beer.

Recently, I had the responsibility for organizing my high school reunion and was looking for a place that we could meet after our welcome mixer. We stumbled across Buchner's and instantly knew it was the best place to host a group. We were sitting under covered seating on the back patio, beneficial as it was raining earlier in the day. Despite it having rained, the seats and tables were totally dry. There were ample fans to keep cool in these summer temps. There was a DJ playing a chill mix of R&B, house and dance. The service that manager Sean and his servers provided to our group was excellent and prompt. Considering how large of a group we had (50+) and the large number of orders we had + those of indoor customers, the speed at which orders and meals were provided was exceptional. We are so happy to have been able to come here as everyone had a wonderful experience! I know I certainly will be back to try a greater array of beers, wines and entrees.

I absolutely love this place! Very low profile, incredibly pleasant to enjoy a drink at the bar or outside. I definitely enjoyed the vibe here, drinks were tasty, and so was the finger food. Mind your Pints & Quarts 😉 …. Tasty beer selection too btw.

Nice vibe! Amazing food. Friendly staff. Nice indoor bar/ seating and cool outdoor tables in the beer garden out back. Truly enjoyed it here. Started and ended our night there. Even made some nice friends that night! Prost! 🍻

Buchner’s is absolutely fantastic. We visited on one of the Christmas market nights in December, and we loved it. The food was delicious, and the selection of imported beer and wine was awesome. Despite being very busy the service was top-notch.

Went last night for Oktoberfest. Nice crowd, tons of beer selection, and, great food! I don't know how they serviced that many people and did it right, food came out hot and delicious and tender. The big hot pretzel awesome. I had the pork shank, great sauerkraut. Jagerschnitzel everyone said was great too. Nice courtyard out back where the tents and festivities were. So nice to have the great band, tuba and all! WAIT STAFF AMAZING! They ran around all night, friendly and accurate. Even the bathrooms were cleanwith the big crowd! Well run. Thanks to all!

Excellent service, the vibe of the place felt very authentic, and the food was great! Just came back from Germany in October and this tasted very much the same! Jason and Alleh (spelling :/) were fantastic, spoke German, and knew the menu and off menu thoroughly. Both were friendly and made conversation. Beer prices were a tad higher than most people might expect but the experience and authenticity make it worth it. I suspect its due to import costs. 10/10 will definitely be going again
