Editorial Review for Schnitzel Haus – by Amanda Dorato
In Short
Decorated like an alpine beer hall, with long pine picnic tables and communal benches, the restaurant is a favorite with beer and schnitzel fans. The ample beer selection of lagers, pilsners and porters is served in traditional German steins along with the eight different schnitzels (breaded pan-fried meat cutlets), including a thin and crispy Wiener schnitzel with anchovy sauce. Other dishes of note include beef goulash with German pasta and potatoe panckaes with apple puree.

We totally loved this place! After a mile walk from the 16th and mission Bart station (!!) we arrived and were greeted by a very friendly server. We were seated promptly and were immediately guided through the beer selection. :) Dinner was amazing, really, really good. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel mit Gemuse und Spatzle... breaded schnitzel topped with mushroom gravy- awesome! German pasta- which is basically noodles in a light sauce and a sweet cabbage salad that should not be dismissed! The potato soup was also fantastic. I loved it so much I am trying to get friends to go back with me this weekend! :) Be warned, the meal portions are overly generous so you may want to share! The place itself is very modest and cozy. Interesting decor, and the wood interior has a 'in a cabin' feel. The traditional German music is just loud enough to enjoy but not too loud as to overwhelm. All in all, a really great comfortable fun and yummy place- I totally recommend it! :) Enjoy!
Pros: casual, relaxed, comfortable, somewhat near public transit
Cons: small, not the best part of town

The attitude of the female manager or owner and that compounded with the worst Kaesepaetzle I have ever eaten, made for a bad night. I was really looking forward to going there, and would never go back. She was nasty to begin with when we arrived ahead of our friends who had made reservations (although there is a chance that my friend might have been confused as they do not take online reservations it seems). She had an attitude then, and it got really bad when my food arrived, Kaesepaetzle, just a horrible version of that dish, and she came by to ask if everything was okay (my friend ordered venisson, and got beef instead but they insisted it was venisson) and I told her it was not good. She told me some nonsense about this is how they make them in Munich, and I disagreed, and she reprimanded me and was downright nasty. I would never go back there.
Pros: nice interior decoration - Austrian/Bavarian style
Cons: Bad food, bad service
