Mountain Brauhaus

A cute German restaurant, conveniently located at the intersection leading to many of the hiking trails. It’s perfect for refueling after trudging through the many grueling hikes in the area. Reservations are highly recommended especially during peak season. I was actually surprised we got a table since we only made a reservation the day before. We got the pretzel to start. I’m not a fan of the licorice taste of caraway seeds which was embedded in the pretzel so it wasn’t my favorite, but I loved the mustard sauces it came with. I had their burger special which had huge cuts of sauteed mushrooms which were delicious. The place is clean and decorated like a traditional German pub. The staff are dressed in German garb also which made it fun.

What a wonderful dining experience. We started at the bar with a couple of beers, wonderful bar, great atmosphere. Easy comfortable place to enjoy some time. We move to a table for dinner. Good service very good food, authentic German. Huge helpings, make sure you come with a big appetite!

Simple, unpretentious, high-calorie German and Austrian dishes, which were very tasty. Be prepared for a very bustling environment, it is a very busy place and service was pretty good, though hasty as they had to cover a lot of ground. Food took a long time to come out, but was good.

Came here for lunch after a hike and it was everything we needed! A big portion of delicious schnitzel (the most delicious one I've had) and a salad with a good selection of German beer. Service was amazing as well, attentive bartenders who care about the experience of the guests. So happy we stumbled upon this place.

Here is what you call a must go establishment! I have been here multiple times and each time is better than the last. The staff is great they are engaging and do everything than can to make the experience for you it's very best. From conversations to taste testing or even giving you the shirt of their backs you do not get better people than the ones at the Mountain Brahaus. Missy and the others behind the bar are mesmerizing to watch just work and fix drinks. They recommend options and pairings of food and beer.
Which next let's talk food...

One of my favorite places!!! The quality of the food it always consistent. Huge portions, fair prices, amazing food, excellent service, love the waitstaff’s outfits! Overall a great experience every time. Establishment is very well managed! Thank you for making my husband’s birthday memorable.

Outstanding. Only that I would think by now they would've expanded their restaurant. Space is quite small . Make sure to RSVP otherwise it's a long wait

Came here after a day of hiking in the area and wanted something delicious and filling. I had the bratwurst hot platter and that didn’t disappoint! The sausages were excellent. Nicely cooked and great texture. Service here was also friendly and helpful

Fabulous German food, well priced menu, and the perfect homey vintage decor. It’ll make you want to buy a dirndl and start eating pickled herring. Actually, the pickled herring with onion cream sauce is great! Try that and a Berliner Weiss for the perfect afternoon snack and drink. Their menu is extensive so you’ll have to go back for more. Plenty of seating, kid friendly, gorgeous surroundings, what more could you want!

First time here during long weekend from NYC, we sat at the bar and were attentively served by the staff. The food and service were great and the food was also good despite the busy weekend and packed house. Met other long-timer patrons at the bar who enjoyed their food/ food/ service/ atmosphere.

Best German food this side of the Atlantic Ocean!! Highly recommend the schnitzel. And they have a great selection of foreign beers as well. Service can be a bit slow if it’s packed, but it is 100% worth the wait. The food is very high quality and has a great balance of flavors.

If I were a millionaire, I think I’d have dinner here every night.

We were looking for a place to eat after our strenuous hike through High Peter's Kills Trail and we found this place on Yelp. Very close to Minnewaska State Park Preserve, and we had never tried German food, so we were interested and had no expectations.

We walked in and we're greeted by all the workers in our vicinity. The place was very clean and inviting. It felt as if you were going into a family member's home. The interior decor was beautiful and they even have a fully functioning payphone that they still use to this day. We were seated quickly and given our menus by our server Danielle (who was a phenomenal waitress by the way), which said menus are clear and easy to follow (remember, we never had German food and we had no idea what most of the names of the dishes really meant).

We started by sharing the Goulash Soup and Pretzel with the Smoked Gouda, and got the Satin Solitude Stout and the Braggot cocktail. Everything was bursting with so much flavor and cooked perfectly. The pretzel was literally the best pretzel we ever had, and the smoked Gouda was the perfect pairing. Even their mustard and horseradish that came with the pretzel was phenomenal. The goulash was very tender and just delicious. The portions were perfect for appetizers. Our drinks were absolutely delicious. I especially loved my Braggot cocktail, as I had never had anything that tasted like that before. I ended up getting a second one.

The entrees we got were the Pot Roast Dinner and the Zwiebel Rostbraten. The pot roast was so savory and flavor, but never salty or overbearing. The gravy is amazing with the mashed potatoes and the meat was super tender. The Zwiebel Rostbraten was our favorite though. Nothing against the pot roast, but it was just literally the greatest thing ever. Everything on the plate went perfectly together and we couldn't stop saying how delicious it was. We barely were able to finish our plates as the servings were generous (especially the amount of meat they gave) but it was perfect as we were so hungry from our hike.

We were disappointed only for the fact that we ate so much that we didn't have any space for dessert. We're planning to come back to try more things on their menu. The food is also not expensive at all, considering how perfectly everything is portioned. Combined with the excellent customer service and the warm, welcoming atmosphere, it's really a no brainier for anybody in the area to try this place. We live pretty far (Westchester county) but it's absolutely worth the drive. It really is that good.

They open 12pm: We got there too early and we waited since the reviews were really really good.

Well, we were lucky and we got a table right away.
such a nice place: it smells like home, food we had is genuinely tasty, they stick to tradition (as far as I can tell based on my trips to germany when I was younger) and the staff is very friendly.
I had the beef stew which was tender and juicy.

Like the ambiance very much: clean, warm, well organized. No wonder they are super busy.

Really like The bar at the entrance: it adds character.

Authentic German restaurant located in the middle of the Hudson Valley. The restaurant is small and was quite busy when we went. Reservations are highly recommended. The staff and all employees are extremely friendly.

The pork schnitzel is really amazing. Pounded paper thin, super tender and perfectly fried. I recommend it plain (or stay tuned for a hack). I got the Jaeger sauce on the size, but the meat doesn’t need it.

The pretzel is good, but it does have rye seeds inside. I do think the pretzel would be perfect without the seeds.

The beef roulade was unbelievable. Tender and super flavorful. It’s comes over a bed of Spaetzle. Order this appetizer to come out with the schnitzel and have a few bites of the schnitzel mixed with the spaetzle covered in the roulade gravy. Absolute showstopper.

Great beer menu and overall reasonably priced. Highly recommend!!

You will never be disappointed at this restaurant. It is great in many levels. Food is delicious. Great variety of options. Amazing selection of local beers, as well as from Germany and Belgium.
The best one is that the staff is great, super friendly, efficient and caring. The seasonal menu is always great!
We love coming back every time. The place is always busy so i highly recommend making a reservation.
If you are visiting the New Paltz area and the Gunks. Do not miss this place.

ABSOLUTELY DELISH I lived in Germany and felt like I was back in Hamburg. It’s a very popular place so you need reservations if you don’t want to wait long for a table .

What a gem of a restaurant. The service was top-notch. The food was so delicious, I had the pork shank and it was falling off the bone it was so tender.

No WiFi or cell signal so you can't get distracted, it felt good to disconnect and enjoy great food and great conversations with friends.

This place was just across the street from our lodge and we decided to try. It was such a wonderful experience. I haven’t had good food like theirs in a long time. I’ll be back. The host was very nice too

German style restaurant with full bar, large indoor dining area and outside seating. Very nice decor inside including staff dressed with a German theme.

Menu includes items like bratwurst and burgers. Full bar and local craft beer. Place was quite busy when we arrived and luckily got some seats at the bar.

No wifi at all but after chatting with one of the owners he said he likes it like that. Food and service was great.

Easily one of the best German restaurants I’ve been to in America. This place sits aside of beautiful cascading mountains. If you’re lucky you’ll make it for sunset. It is ALWAYS packed, expect to wait . And go early if you want to wait less. The food also takes a while because it’s cooked well and slow. So definitely order the pretzel and Guda cheese. The pork shank, pot roast were amazing. Spatzel is what I come there for. It’s so good. Hot Apple cider was perfect after a long day. 5 dishes and sides we each paid $40! Well worth the wait and drive.
