Restaurant Details

If you thought the Gerst Haus was exclusively the purview of hard-boiled journalists and politicos who rubbed elbows, chugged “fishbowls” and gnawed on pig’s feet, it’s time to take a new look. While there is indeed a rustic, masculine vibe in the wood-and-stone accented bar, where taxidermy and equine racing memorabilia govern the design aesthetic and heavy stemmed glasses slosh with Gerst amber (now manufactured by the Pittsburg Brewing Company), other aspects of the establishment appeal to younger and — dare we say — more feminine tastes. The versatile menu spans goulash, grilled tuna salad and chicken fingers. Friday and Saturday nights are a family-friendly tradition with a polka band belting out Roll Out the Barrel and the Chicken Dance in an inimitable blend of traditions form the Old and New Worlds.

I've been going to the "new" Gerst Haus for years and always have had great food. The sausage sampler is great, as is the schnitzel. The kraut ball appetizer is always hard to pass up. They also have more traditional American food like chicken strips, burgers, etc. for the unadventurous. Very entertaining environment, even for families...especially when live German music is there. They also have a fantastic beer selection. The only criticism I have is that service can sometimes be lackluster and it can take awhile to get food sometimes. But well worth it.

Food was horrible. Really. Atmosphere was a poor imitation of the old building. I hope the owners are paying a bit more attention to the Sportsman's grilles, I guess this one is a write off. Did I mention that the food was horrible?
