Get a boar sausage, or the amazing spatzle with bacon, but do not miss the pretzel rolls—get two of them. Afterwards, mosey over to Shotwell's down the street for one more beer.
Adrian PhillipsOctober 18, 2015Tasty German beers on tap. Try the Schwarzbier if you're in the mood for a refreshing black lager. Chicken schnitzel was excellent, the portion was enormous. I would recommend starting with pickles.
Raunak MunotNovember 3, 2012Best German food I've ever eaten in the U.S. Grilled sausages are delicious, especially the currywürst. Great atmosphere and bier selection.
For the BEST in German beers and brats (not to mention the potato salad and spatzle), look no further. Despite the name this IS a sit-down restaurant (with some bar stools) with lots of seating. Excel Read more
Lindsay EyinkOctober 13, 2017Schmidt's is consistently good food and a great place to go in SF on Sunday for brunch. Can handle big groups and not on the usual brunch circuit. Shhh.
Landon LarsenMarch 7, 2017The pretzels with brown mustard were really awesome. So simple, but I really REALLY loved them!
Christina LorApril 17, 2013Switch out or order a side of these brussels sprouts! They are crisp, fresh and provide that crunch to complete your meal. Prost, I've paired mine with a tasty Radeberger.
The mashed potatoes are made from potatoes that the chef smokes in house. they taste like bacon and it changed my life. also the German beer selection is excellent
Pro tip: Order the Schnitzel with Spätzle and cucumber salad but switch the meat from chicken to veal.
Catarina LaiJune 8, 2014chicken schitzel and waffle is yummy. don't forget to bring your own stein for bier & + PROST!
Wiener schnitzel! Also - sub the cheese spätzle for the potatoes. Das ist gut!
Brunch is delicious. The veal schnitzel sandwich with an egg and a Belgian tripel beermosa is tops.
Spätzle was great and came with a pretty generous side salad.
Würst teller w/ Nuremberg bratwurst and a domina trocken at the bar. Missing Berlin? Pick up a Löwebsenf (mustard) to go.
Liza PApril 2, 2017Delicious wursts, awesome beer and really good ambient electronic music! Recommend.
Everything is great. Start with a pretzel roll and end with the chocolate pudding.
Exceptional and cozy spot for very good German beer. Try my Holy Trinity: kölsch, sausage, and their ridiculously good potato salad!
Chris GoldenAugust 5, 2014Nice beer selection, very attentive staff, and arguably some of the best German on the west coast
Xtel van der BoomFebruary 25, 2012They also sell German groceries like Spaetzle, Sauerkraut, Curry Kerchup, Rote Grutze and more.
David's special and a zwickel are a knockout pair. Don't forget to ask for the mustards.
Joshua HaftelApril 14, 2015Good beer and the schnitzel was pretty good. Pretzels rather nice as well.
Get the litter of beer and the curry quest. Can't go wrong with that combination :-)
I'm a potato salad snob, amd theirs is among the best I've ever eaten. That's saying something because I've eaten a lot of potato salad all over, from Germany to Calif.
Alexander GilbertAugust 11, 2017Great service, really great, authentic german food, amazing selection of beers
not just a restaurant- they have a great selection of german mustards and snacks
Be sure to save room for dessert. Pro tip: if you are stuffed, order some Underberg. You'll feel better.
Try the Pretzel Roll - My favorite treat here! Also; my fave pretzel in SF- Ignore the crazy lady upstairs. If you rent upstairs from a restaurant you cannot claim to be surprised by there being a restaurant downstairs.
Adam SchwenkFebruary 5, 2012I prefer Schmidt's to Suppenkuche. No long waits, no preppies, GREAT beer. The schnitzel RULES.
Matt SmithFebruary 15, 2012Mashed potatoes are awesome. More like potato salad with a hint of horseradish.
