Wonderful atmosphere with 2 sides one side is a dinning atmosphere and the other side is more like a German style pub setting both sides have lots of character. Everything on the menu is really good and has lots of flavor and fresh tasting food. The beer menu has lots of authentic brands and styles to choose from. The staff is very friendly and informative about the delicious selections on the menu and advice on what to order in case you're not familiar with German cuisine. You'll have plenty of Bavarian decorations to check out during your visit like all the different beer steins they have on the shelves and all around the lodge.

Classic delicious German food and drinks. We’ve been here a few times and its always top notch, they have an amazing selection of German draft beers, its always a good idea to hit up the bar before you sit down for dinner. Everything weve had on the menu has been delicious. The liver dumpling soup is one of the best I’ve had. You will not leave here hungry, thats for sure. I would definitely recommend getting one of the many schnitzels they offer.

My husband and I came here for our Friday date night and loved our experience. We were told to expect a 40 min wait, but got a table within 5 min of arriving! ✨Ambience - Dark, moody and felt very cozy. Restaurant was very clean. 🍻Drinks - We tried a Scottish stout and German gluhwein and liked both! The gluhwein was served warm and was delicious with some citrus notes. 🥗🥨Food - We picked the two vegetarian options on the menu - pierogi pomodoro and veggie schnitzel. Both come with either a soup or salad. The salad with red pepper garlic dressing was amazing! Out of the two entrees, the schnitzel was definitely my favorite. Crispy on the outside, and delicious mix of veggies inside. The sides were mashed potatoes and buttered corn. The pierogi was tasty too, but the sauce was a bit too tomato-y for me. We also got a pretzel basket which were fresh out of the oven just then - warm and delicious! ⭐️Service - Quick, attentive and friendly. Overall, we loved our experience and look forward to returning soon.

Due to covid virus do i need to make reservations in advance or can we just show up and wait to be seated? Thanks

Miguel Garcia | Nov 2, 2020
The Bavarian Lodge (Owner) | Nov 3, 2020

We do not accept nor require reservations at this time. Walk-ins are seated on a first come first served basis. Yesterday, Saturday, October 3rd, was quite busy between the hours of 5:30 and 8:00pm. Average wait time for a party of less than 5 was about 30 minutes. There is no waiting room available inside during busy dining hours. If a wait is encountered, guests may wait outside or in their vehicle and will receive a text them when their table is ready.
