    We came in on a Wednesday a night when there is no live music or entertainment. Also, it was snowing. So I get that. It was going to be a quiet night. It was my son‘s 21st birthday, and he was excited to eat at the Hofbrau house. Unfortunately, the staff was in a hurry to leave and they rushed us at the end of our meal. Which was weird because the service was slow and they forgot a bunch of our items so we had to ask for them again. Overall, it was kind of surprising that a night with only a few customers they really dropped the Ball . I guess the take-home message is don’t go there during the week.

    We go regularly to the Hofbrauhaus because we are Steinmasters. As much as I love the beer, the food leaves something to be desired! The quality of the food has really dropped off the last 6 months or so! And the prices are becoming ridiculous! I really wish they had more Bavarian fare, like weisswurst, but they took it off the menu about a year ago. The schnitzel is not pounded out, like a good schnitzel is supposed to be, and the prices are becoming like Disney prices…way too expensive for what you get! The portions have been getting so much smaller over the last year or two! Our group of Steinmasters are actually considering to go somewhere else for dinner, and just coming to the Hofbrauhaus only for the beer after. This is so sad, because we really do like the place.

    We met up with some dear friends last night for a dinner we had been looking forward to since before the holidays. Looking forward to catching up and some great conversations we were incredibly disappointed because the music (first from the live band and then just piped in while the next band was setting up) was just TOO LOUD!!! We couldn’t hear a thing each other was saying whether sitting next to or across the table. We asked our server if she could do anything and while she apologized she also said she would mention it to the manager. NOTHING changed and no one from management even came to speak to us. As the restaurant filled up, the noise level increased even more. While the Nineties band was setting up it only added to the uncomfortable loudness. I have never experienced this level of loudness in a restaurant before. And neither had our friends. After sharing the large Pretzel and dips we considered leaving to go find a quieter place. However, we stayed because our order was in and it was already after 7:30pm. The food was very good!! No complaints! Portions were generous. Again, we considered going elsewhere for dessert but stayed to try the Black Forest Cake and Apple Strudel. Both were wonderful! That being said, we won’t return because both my husband and I value our hearing and prefer to talk with one another and our friends while enjoying a night out. Maybe it’s different at lunch time? I just won’t take the chance to find out.

    We had a great time seeing the German band, Hops und Schnapps., will definitely be back to see them. Food and beer were also great. Danielle was our server and she was very friendly and did a wonderful job.

    Great place for a large party. Lots of energy and noise. The food is good as was the service, not great. The beer is great! I was disappointed the band played no German music last night.
