I came here on a Saturday night for a birthday party. 5 of us walked in together and we waited about 20 minutes for a table to be set up. By the time we sat down, we realized that most of the tables were empty so we didn't know what took so long. 10 minutes later, a few more people showed up and the birthday boy helped the waitress to add another empty table to ours. The waitress then came around asking for drink orders and a few of us got appetizers and meals. Everyone's food was out very quickly, except for mine. When everyone was half way through, I reminded the waitress about my meal and she basically just nodded and walked away like she was on her way to grab it at that very moment. 5 min later it came out.
My friend ordered the pork chop entree which he really enjoyed. It came with a bunch of sides and I got the summer salad. My salad was surprisingly tasty and came with a lot of crispy apples, walnuts and Gorgonzola. The serving size was perfect for an entree. I asked for the dressing on the side, since I typically don't like it, but in this case, I poured it on. It tasted like crushed raspberries. It was perfect.
Instead of bread, this place gives a few soft pretzels with mustard. They looked and smelled so good. Definitely very fresh.
This place is way out in Staten Island. Going inside is like traveling into a different world, since the neighborhood is pretty industrial. The space has a beautiful old bar that's been wonderfully restored. They've expanded and renovated the building and there's a nice garden out back. It's pretty kitschy with the waitresses in costume and the faux German decor, but it's cute. The food is nothing special, but it's still probably one of the better options in the area.
Authentic German experience that is a remnant of the German settlements in the area hundreds of years ago. Good sausage, good pretzels, good beer selection. The bar area is less than ideal for sitting and watching a game, but the bartender is good, knows the menu and service is pleasant. The back beer garden is also nice and the is a separate bar out there. There was live music as well, so quite a destination. Only issue is you have to drive, so take a cab!
I came here for the first time and what a great time! I came to see my friend's aunt's band play and they were great! Killmeyer's has a great outdoor area, which is where the band was playing. There were plenty of tables and large enough for big groups. There was plenty of space, so you never felt crowded. It's very cute outside with all of the trees and lights. The inside is very homey and rustic. I hope to go back soon and even try something off the menu!
Killmeyer's is a great place to grab an authentic German meal or to enjoy some brews. The food is very good, but to be honest the atmosphere is what always keeps me coming back. The decor is comfy, cozy and charming. The staff is friendly and welcoming. It's like going to family's house for dinner. The beer garden out back is a nice spot in the warmer weather. There is always a unique and wide variety of beers available. Great local spot.
Sprechen sie Deutsch? Well they certainly do right here in Staten Island not too far from the Outerbridge Crossing.
I absolutely love German beer gardens. I believe my thirst started in 1991 when I was fortunate enough to spend several days in Munich Germany, crashing the world famous Hofbrauhaus on a debaucherous occasion. This was pre euro and the US dollar went quite far in fact far enough to fill my gullet with amazing German beer & brat.
This place is fairly quaint and relatively small for a German beer garden but a bar for 20 & seating for 40ish. You'll see the deer antlers on the wall along with the typical German streamers hanging from the ceiling in old Munich fashion.
Several Bavarian style beers are available in many flavors to quench that taste that only a good German beer can satisfy. I loves me some Weisse bier, the only problem is it's hard to chug several being it's more like a meal then some light beer that we Americans are typically subjected to at neighborhood swills.
Brats to knockwurst to Weiner schnitzel grace the menu with ample lunch specials below $10 & dinner being a bit more. Don't forget to get a side of spaetzle or perhaps some grilled Bologna and schmear some good German mustard all over. I've been fortunate enough to dine here on a few occasions and have always left completely satiated.
If you haven't guessed I'm a big fan. I'm partial to German food and beer and this place may not be the most authentic that I've experienced, but with German food not exactly being a commodity in these parts you'll be pleasantly surprised and I'll bet you'll gladly return just as I have. Avidazen.
Good beer selection and traditional German food.
We went in on a weekday afternoon, so it wasn't very busy while we were there. The beer was good but the food was delicious. The Saurbraten was fantastic, cabbage, potato dumpling, spaetzel, all on point. The lunch special was a good size portion and reasonably priced. The Apple strudel and crepe are made in house so definitely try that. The service was fine while I was there, I'll have to go back when it's busier.
