Suppenküche - San Francisco

This is the second time I visited the restaurant with my wife. I am from the southern part of Germany. We had the Sauerbraten with Rotkohl and Spaetzle and the Jaegerschnitzel. As starter we had the Brezen, should be spelled with a B not a P .9 The Brezen looked weird, was mushy like it was old and warmed up. They don 't serve this in Bavaria! The Sauerbraten was great. Soft and tender and not too sour. The Rotkohl (red cabbage) was surprisingly great. The Spaetzle, called Knoepfle in Bavaria, were too floury, like not cooked long enough. The mushroom sauce of the Jaegerschnitzel was great but the Schnitzel was way overcooked. As desert we had the bread pudding which was really good. They have a great selection of premium draft beer which I can highly recommend. To my surprise I saw deviled eggs on the menu and people seem to order it. This is certainly not known to be a German dish. Deviled eggs?! Not German specific.We would have had a good time but it was so loud that we had to yell at each other. Finally we gave up talking and just texted each other. Service was not that good. No one asked us how the meal is and at times our waitress disappeared. Suppenkueche is a neighborhood place to go, great for German draft beer and ok for German food.

Traveled around the world and this is one of the most authentic German restaurants in California. Came here with a party of 8 to enjoy the communal “boot” experience, just like it was in Munich. Everyone drank from the boot, passed it to the next person and the first person who puts the boot down, will have to drink all that is left from the boot. ?The seating and the food were also communal. We enjoyed the generous portions and tasty meals.For the nostalgia and the pure enjoyment of the ambiance and friends, this place gets six stars

Large selection of Bavarian beers (Paulaner, Hofbräu Müchen, etc) and German cuisine in a simple cozy setting. Feels very authentic.Food: 5/5

Best ever Bavarian Restaurant in North Amerika.I am a Bavarian and know what I say.Super bavarian Beer and Sauerbraten better as my Mother made.We come again from ??.Food: 5/5

What a fun place to visit while one is visiting SF or a great third place hangout if you live in the area a little bit of Bavaria brought to the Hayes Valley Area the German beer is excellent and while I was going to do a grilled sausage plate had to get the pork knuckle (which they don 't have all the time but I was told it is their most sought after item as I have not had that since I went to Germany and while it is not cheap, at $40, you can easily split this between two people I 'm a big guy and I can eat and I could not finish off this whole meal. I can 't wait to go back next time I visit SF, wonderful experience! :
