Resi's Bierstube: User Reviews

It's called AUTHENTIC - not fancy

Seriously. This place is incredible. Have you ever had really great homemade German food? This is the place for it. The Schnitzel, potato pancakes, potato salad, are really all to die for. This is the most authentic place around. Go in the summer time and enjoy the garden, it's beautiful.

Couldn't be more DISSAPPOINTED, after earlier reviews. Tho food priced ok, was WORST German food I've eaten. Jaegerschnitzel was like a flat brick pancake (God knows what mystery meat was under breading). Kessler Rib ok, but oddly for main course didn't include soup or salad. Only potato option for both was Fried Potatoes. Couldn't even 'upgrade' to 'famous' Potato Pancakes even for $1-$2 extra. Instead, you must pay $7.95 EXTRA (given quality of other food, wouldn't waste $). Adding insult to injury, tho huge Beer selection -- BIGGEST RIPOFF ever. Bottled Weiss $6.50. Draft beer an outrageous $6.00 for .5L mug a/k/a Pint. Never paid so much for beer in my life! Finally, no dining room to speak of -- perhaps 6 or 7 cramped tables along the Bar. Entire 'dining room' is SMOKING -- and, uugh, one creep lit up a camel-dung Stogie capped it all off nicely. Never go back!

Dear DJ: Hopleaf, Maproom, Quenchers - there's three for your challenge. However, Resi's is very good. Atmosphere is so authentic and genuine that ironically it repels a lot of the neighborhood wannabees. Beer selection is excellent, but the clear star is the kindlweiss (with woodruf, preferably) in the summer. Beer garden, like the resteraunt, is rather cloistered and isn't really all that. Good somewhat cheap german beer snacks. Overall, a solid winner.

By far, one of the best places in the city. Amazingly friendly people, great selection of beer and spirits (try the escorial, but if you have more than one or two make sure someone else is driving) and all around a great place.
