This is one of my favorite places to organize a group dinner. The food is fantastic, the beer is okay but Das Boot makes it better. When you’re done with dinner head on downstairs and enjoy the night with some music and dancing!

Oh my word what's not to love. From the cheerful atmosphere to the authentic German cuisine Gasthof is a happening place.
The food is incredibly delicious and you get generous helpings.
Live musicians stroll the restaurant and at all your favorites German or not. They are truly fine entertainers interacting with the family, and kids.
On Saturdays they have a polka band in the basement open to all family members until 11 pm then adults only.
We shared the Bavarian platter for two and yet we brought home left overs.
The Gasthof serves up a party atmosphere and almost everybody is celebrating some special occasion.
The decor is quintessentially German with nice woodsy quaintness. It brought back memories of me and my wife's time living in Germany.

We came for Oktoberfest, and this authentic German bar experience is the best in Mpls. Drinking from the boot, Hammerschlagen, live Polka band that can play some other hits, it's fantastic! Just don't steal their giant glasses, they frown upon that.

Always an excellent meal at Gasthofs. We were immediately seated on a busy Friday night. Our server was amazing at making sure our whole meal was delicious and ran smoothly. The beer and food were great, we ordered one of the platters to share and was amazed by the sheer amount of food that was provided.
Absolutely stuffed with leftovers to bring home. Also most of it was pretty good, which was surprising. Whenever I see a huge platter of food I immediately think that it can't be all that great. Gasthofs was the exception to the rule.
Would definitely come back when I am hungry again in a year or so.

I was part of a group of 11, the service was impeccable. The waitress made sure all of our needs were taken care of. The gentleman that came over to sing, and play the accordion was entertaining, and he made us all feel like we were part of the Gasthof family.

We've been here multiple times over the years. It's a great place with a fun atmosphere, good service, and great food and beers!!! My wife selected it for her retirement dinner a couple years ago and we all had an amazing time. Tonight we were there to celebrate our 37th anniversary. My favorite beer is the Hafbrau original (it's as smooth as silk). My favorite Entree is Jaeger Schnitzel (although I keep trying to convince myself to try some of the others). I think it has been featured on "Diners, Drive-Inns, and Dives" for the monster sausage (a friend ordered it and it was amazing). In addition to the main menu they also have a bar menu that has lots of good stuff also including an amazing pretzel!!! The waitperson took our picture and asked what we were celebrating and the kitchen sent us a free piece of their Black Forest cake as well!!!

I think this was my third time there. This time was with friends. The food is always amazing. The beer boots keep flowing and the tableside accordion players make the night a great experience. Can be a little on the spendy and loud side but always memorable.

Went during lunchtime saturday so no live music. Most things were excellent like the beef stroganoff, chicken alfredo with spaetzle, sauerbraten, rouladen, cheeseburger, goulash soup, salads. Dont recommend very plain chicken spaetzle soup, other chicken dishes that come on platters (everything deep fried is too much for me). Great beer, wine, cocktails. Good place for groups.

We got the platter for two and still had two lunches the next day. I loved the parmesan chicken with spaetzle (white sauce) and the beef with raisin sauce (dark sauce). He loved the wienerschnitzel (veal).
The atmosphere is really the start of the show though. Chanting, shots, accordion players and make sure you ask for the snuff after the meal. Very loud though, not good for the older folks who want to hear about your recent vacation.

Delicious foods and veggie options. Wonderful accordion player there most nights. Gave us free cake for celebrating our wedding anniversary. It was such good Black Forest cake we forgot to snap a pic before devouring. Trivia on Thursday!
