| Knuckleball3 Member since: Nov 30, 2010 Threads: 3 Posts: 51 | Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has eaten at the Hofbrauhaus in Vegas? It is supposed to be the only exact replica of the original Hofbrauhaus in Munich. I am going to be in Vegas Thurs.-Sun. and was planning on checking it out. Having lived in Germany last year from April-October I was able to eat some amazing German food, and I don't want to be disappointed. Any responses/reviews will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

My mom was German and I loved that stuff and I wondered why she never made it until I found a recipe for it. You've got to marinate it for three days. I'd never go through that much work for something my kids wouldn't touch, so I'd make sure to load up on it when I got the chance. Each of us is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.

Everything is tasty! Try to go when the band is playing, which I think is weekends only. It makes it much more fun. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

Has it gotten better? I went for lunch with co-workers right when it first opened, and they didn't have their act together at all. Service was slow, food was mediocre. If those have been improved, I'd like to hear. I enjoy a good German-style pig-out (pun-intended) on occasion.

I've been there several times and the service was always fine. The place is definitely kind of campy. It is not the kind of place to go for a serious business lunch. It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet. |

But that day service was so slow we were all late for our after-lunch meeting.

The soft pretzels with cheese sauce that they pass around at about midnight or so are quite possibly the ultimate drunk food.

| clarkacal Member since: Sep 22, 2010 Threads: 41 Posts: 388 | I went to the Hofbrauhaus in Munich as part of a tour and had a beer. I don't remember much about it because I didn't realize how famous it was at the time. The one at the WOrld Showcase in Florida was really nice with great food and entertainment. Actually not sure if it was a Hofbrauhaus but it was a lot like one. |
