Service was great, as staff was very friendly. Mushroom sauce in the schnitzel was amazing. Good selection of sausages in the appetizer. Will definitely dine here again. Atmosphere became more festive the longer we stayed. We opted to eat inside but they had a live band out back.
For a person who is vegetarian and doesn't like beer, I can highly recommend this place (and I will be back). Despite the few options for a vegetarian, you will not miss the food, nor will you leave hungry. In addition to that, there is a wide variety of liquors for your palate. The service is great, and the place is cozy. Just spend a great Friday afternoon (or any day) enjoying its delicious food, drinks, and atmosphere.
One of my favorite places in the Bay Area. Great family-owned business. My food is always tremendous. The small bar area by the entrance is warm and inviting. The patio is fantastic when the weather turns warm. May wonderful visits over the past 23 years!
This place is a hidden gem for anyone who loves German food/beer. The beer list is fantastic with some great ones on draft to enjoy in .5L or 1L. I sat at the small, perfectly kitschy bar with some regulars and the owner manning the taps. The small plate of boar sausages was tasty. They have a bigger dining area with a totally different feel than the bar and a small outdoor beer garden. The owner even apprenticed in Germany, so you're getting the real deal. Totally recommend for a taste of Germany.
Went for Friday night dinner & enjoyed everything we ordered. About 1.5 ltrs of beers, followed by a sausage platter & sauerbraten with pickled red cabbage, sauerkraut & potatoes salad sides. Was a bit pricey ($40+ pp) with the amount of food ordered, but loved the diverse menu, so had to. Wonderful ambience and attentive servers.
Quite literally walking into Germany here. When we visited Germany, you got these vibes of traditional German both cuisine and overall decor and service, I will attest to that. Munchen I see you! Awesome waitress too, thank you from Canada! Try the schnitzel and sausage (and more).
Probably the best German restaurant in the South Bay. Food is almost always very good. Tonight the schnitzel was a little over done and chewy. The goulash was fantastic and the Octoberfest plate was good.
I love the Bavarian lodge feel and enjoy the beer bar.
Service was and is top notch.
Good choice if food and beer. Pork hog was perfect, but pretzels overcooked. Dog friendly (patio).
Authentic Germany restaurants with Germany craft beer and delicious pork leg.
We order the sausage plate for appetizer and two entrees with veal and pork leg.
Sausages are pretty tasty but could have better presentation.
Veal is magnificent, bone-in soft and tender well done. However the potato dumpling is not my type and asparagus are too bitter.
Port leg is the must order, crispy skin and juicy meats accompanied with sour pickles become the best Germany cuisine.
Dessert Black Forest chocolate cake seem keep too long, the whip cream already turn hard.
Overall I would said Teske’s is an authentic Germany restaurant suitable for casual dining.
We had the sausage combination appetizer, then I had Wiener Schnitzel with potato salad and my partner had Goulash as main dishes. Then we both had the house made Bienenstich cake. Everything was delicious. Waitresses were very kind. We didn’t try any of the beers but we’ll come back for that.
