German Restaurant Stammtisch: Authentic German Cuisine in Seaside, CA

A great place to enjoy authentic German food. The broccoli cream soup for starter was very nice, and the Gulasch with homemade Spatzle was great. The portions are quite big. The atmosphere is nice, the owners are very welcoming and he had a great humor :-).

Honestly, the best German food I have ever had. We started with the goulash and the cream of broccoli soup. We knew we were in the right place! We ordered the meatloaf-special of the day, a house platter-mixed assortment of foods, and the sausage plate. Every bite was pure joy. The best sauerkraut ever. I miss it already. We had to try the desserts so we tried the apple custard and the black forest cake. Yummmm! Be sure to book a reservation, they did turn a family away. Don’t miss this gem.

We had a great birthday celebration here for one of our friends. It's becoming a tradition since it's the 3rd time we've celebrated his birthday here. Food is always on point! If you want traditional German food, this is THE place to go. Goulash, cream of broccoli soup, and a pea/potato/sausage soup was all enjoyed by our group. Our group ordered the following: Hausplatte, Claudia‘s Hausschnitzel, Zigeunerschnitzel (pictured), Jaegerschnitzel, Stammtischschnitzel, and their vegetarian plate. And copious amounts of German beer! They are a family run business and they just celebrated 32 years! Reservations only.

This is as authentic as it can get when it comes German food. The food is absolutely delicious. They also have good German beer. Service was great. The owners of the restaurant were very kind and worked hard to provide good service. Can't wait to come back :)

Loved this neat little place. I wanted to experience real German food and I believe I got it here. The Jagerschnitzel was fantastic. So good. They also had a combo plate that comes with everything, although I shouldve ordered a different type of schnitzel as well. Was good tho. Owners are personable and nice. Had a pleasant experience.

This place is incredible. Do yourself a huge favor and just go. The inside is inviting, the service is friendly and good and the food is outstanding. What more could you want? Oh, right, good beer is also here!

This continues to be our favorite restaurant in the area. It’s a small, family run restaurant and Claudia and Irvin put so much love into every detail. The food is always amazing, and even during COVID times, they give you an authentic German atmosphere, from the music, to the Bavarian decor, to serving your drinks in the perfect glass to match your beverage. They import a lot of their products directly from Germany (beer, cheese, etc), so don’t expect cheap prices, but the quality and quantity of food you get is just outstanding. I miss the inside atmosphere, but they are being very safety and health conscience during these trying times, and accommodate their customers with outdoor tents, spaced out tables, and space heaters. This is the ONLY restaurant we continue to eat out at because we trust the staff and they always make us feel like family. The Rindsroulade is my favorite, but I always ask for sauerkraut and their home style potatoes as my sides. Go eat here, but make a reservation! You won’t be disappointed.

Made dinner reservations for a birthday on a Friday night. Our first visit to this establishment. Upon arrival we were greeted and seated at our table. The decor was a pleasant German theme, with flowers, pictures with about eight tables. The owner welcomed us and proceeded to give us the menu and informed us of the dinner specials. I oreded my favorite, Jaeger Schnitzel with a hofbrau beer. My meal was served in about ten minutes. I found the plate presentation colorful with the add multi colored "salad " that was red and white cabbage and shredded carrots. The Jaeger Schnitzel was cooked just right covered in a mushroom grave. The home fried potatoes were crisp just the way I like them. I order the black forest cake for dessert. The cake had cherries in it over a dark chocolate base layer. The frosting was like a lite wiped cream that wasn't overly sweet. As a birthday bonus, I was given an apple schnapps in a tall stem shot glass. The schnapps was very fruity and sweet. Overall I would rate the German restaurant highly based on food quality, presentation, atmosphere and very pleasant staff. I will be back to try the rouladen.
