Authentic, very very very good food, beautiful atmosphere, and nice staff. I am very picky with restaurants and have to say I loved this place! I moved here from WV and this has been my favorite restaurant in San Jose so far.
Super delicious European-style food that I missed so much! Cozy interior, and some toys for kids. Love it! Highly recommend.
The Mac and cheese was amazing and it's a must try. I loved it. The pretzel balls in mushroom sauce were very good too. The sauce was rich and creamy. The pretzel we got from the appetizer menu was so soft and warm. As per my German friend, the vegetarian dishes we had here are very authentic. You have great beer options here.
Had the Jager schnitzel and a cherry cider, they went really well together. The mushroom sauce was just about perfect. Followed up with an apple strudel for dessert. It was so much food and so good. The waiter, Anders I believe, was very friendly and came by frequently to check on everyone. Plenty of outdoor seating. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.
I came here with high hopes for the food and beer and I can say with 100% honesty that this is one of the most authentic German experiences I've ever had outside of actually being in Germany. The food was excellent, the beers served in the correct glassware, and the atmosphere was welcoming thanks to the owner's friendly attitude and attention to his patrons.
I'd give Ludwig's 6 stars if I could.
Last Friday, I tried this place, and I had the most beautiful time and service there!
I didn't make a reservation, so they only have tables in the restaurant area, but I didn't mind, and let me tell you, the restaurant area (upstairs) atmosphere is lovely! The decoration, attention to detail, and services are more than friendly -you feel special (as you should) there.
I enjoyed:
- Jager Fries (creamy mushroom sauce, baked with gruyere cheese- Cheese Croquettes (spicy lingonberry aioli)
- Sausage bites
- Sausage Plate (comes with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut)
- Apfelstrudel
If you want to have a great time with friends, family, or yourself, go for it!
Great beer garden with delicious, super light and flavorful German beers! nice shared table policy, and they accept dogs in the beer garden. The food is also delicious. The only thing I missed was a "sausage board" of some kind.
Fun atmosphere. The food is OK unless it has that mushroom sauce on it then its absolutely delicious! Definitely sit outside on a nice day even though the benches are very uncomfortable.
Love this place and come regularly. The food is great and flavorful. The beer selection is smaller than other places but everyone I’ve tried has been very good quality.
I recommend the pretzel, the vegan option, and the curryworst. All high quality and great flavors.
Must stop. It is also dog friendly!
What a wonderful authentic German restaurant. We had a great time here, great food and drinks for kids and adults. The staff is friendly. Their pretzels are made in Germany and finished here at the restaurant. The ambience is great, outdoor seating is charming with heating lamps.
Great beer choices. I'll be back with friends and co-workers.
A small and a German authentic place with decent collection of German beers and food. I must try if you're in the area, the service was very friendly as well.
Such a nice neighborhood beer garden. Beer on tap was authentic and refreshing. The sausage platter came with varieties and perfectly matched with the beer. Will definitely come back!
