## Step into a Bavarian Paradise at Brauhaus Schmitz

Brauhaus Schmitz is more than just a restaurant; it's an immersive experience that transports you to the heart of Munich. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the warmth of a traditional German Bierhall, complete with communal tables, lively chatter, and the clinking of steins.

The menu at Brauhaus Schmitz is a celebration of authentic German cuisine. From artisanal sausages, to succulent schnitzel, pounded thin and pan-fried to golden perfection, or savor the Haus Specialty Schweinshaxe, a roasted pork knuckle that falls off the bone, each dish pairs well with one of their Crisp Clean Lagers.

Speaking of Bier, Brauhaus Schmitz boasts the largest selection of German beers in the world, with 34 rotating taps and 80 bottled varieties. Whether you're a seasoned beer connoisseur or just starting your exploration, the knowledgeable staff will guide you through the diverse offerings, helping you find the perfect brew!

My pork dish was abysmal! Like leather and too little mushroom sauce although that would not improve the taste of the pork dish!

We were looking forward to dinner at Brauhaus Schmitz and not disappointed. We ordered Schnitzel prepared in 2 ways. Both were very good. Just the right amount of breading. Spaetzle were not doughy and tasted good although they were hidden under the schnitzel. We appreciated the side salad served with a simple dressing as served in Germany. The beer is list is extensive and as long as Hofbrau is offered, we are satisfied. Wait staff is attentive without being over bearing. Enjoyed the evening!

Went here before heading to the ballgame. Nice place, clean. Friendly service. Good selection of authentic German beers. Sausage was good. Didn't care for the potatoes but that's just me. Would go again.

We went early 4:30pm to enjoy a family of 7 celebratory meal. Sat us right away. Service was very friendly, quick, and checking in regularly to see if we needed anything. Food was good with reasonable portions and fairly priced. Beer selection amazing! We’re definitely coming back. A lot of parking attendants writing tickets so go for a nearby garage and avoid any hassle

The food, service and ambience was first class. We’ve lived in several mid-west towns that had excellent German food (also lived in Germany for a number of years). Outstanding. Highly recommend. Our waiter was A+.

Great authentic German food. We had the Schweinehaxe, Schnitzel, and Pretzel—everything tasted just like back home in Germany. Will definitely come again.

We had a great meal at Brauhaus Schmitz! We were seated in a back room which was nice and quiet. There were 6 of us, celebrating my husband’s birthday. The food was excellent and our server, whose name I can’t recall, was the best! He was aware of anything we needed, super friendly and had some great suggestions for the menu. Highly recommend!
