King’s BierHaus — Restaurant in League City

The last time my wife and ate here, was about 6 years ago. We had our kids with us at the time. It was a good experience then, but difficult to enjoy with our kids. This time, we met up with my wife's cousins, and kids were at home. First thing, the food was very good, and I had a hard time deciding what I wanted. The service was perfect! Our waiter was super helpful in finding a beer I liked to drink. I don't drink mainstream beers. I generally stick to specialty and craft beers. I did get a sampler of 4 different ones to taste, and the waiter was very good at picking which ones for me to try. Of the 4 that I tried, the Hofbrau Lager. It was the lighter in color of the 4 and the least bitter. They do have a large selection of different beers, that I hope to try more of next time.

We did try the Exotic sausage sampler. The rabbit and rattle snake was best one, with a little sweet and spice to it. The Wild Boar being kinda sweet and the Mountain Man just very meaty. All three were good. For the main dish, I chose the Hungarian Stew. It was very delicious! The menu says spicy, but it's not too much.

There's other options, such as Oma's Meatloaf that I'd love to try next time. Oddly enough, there are some not so German items listed on the menu. I understand trying to offer a more diverse selection, but Tex-Mex and Cajun just really don't make much sense to me, on a German themed establishment. Also they appear o offer several souvenir cups or mugs and other drinking containers. There's a "Growler" bottle, a big glass Boot, some big mugs with logos on them, and I'm pretty sure the big tankards at the front entrance are also for sale. Each one of these can be filled and refilled with whatever beer or beverage of your choice, for not a bad price. I definitely want to come back for that. The waiter even informed me I could bring a "mug" or so on, of my own to refill! I'm not so sure about how accurate that is but it is very interesting.

Anyway, it was a really good experience, overall! Hopefully we'll return soon. Patrons can also sign up for an email list and SMS notifications to recieve regular special deals and...

All the components are there for this to be our new favorite place, but for us the execution was a "miss." For the time being, we will file King's BierHaus under "great place for beer, appetizers and watching the game." I'm hoping we can upgrade them to "best evah" once they work out the kinks.

We went last Sunday and the atmosphere was perfect. The patio was well designed, comfortable and spacious, while the inside was everything I imagine a German dining hall would be. The staff was friendly and generally helpful, though a bit inattentive (maybe a game was on or socializing amongst themselves.) It wasn't horrible, just not "great."

The beer was tall and cold and they had a decent selection. The appetizers were very good (according to our party of 8,) though I would have LOVED if they had at least one marked Vegan. Our meal was "meh" and generally felt like it might have been cooked earlier as some of the dishes arrived somewhat tepid. I'll admit this might have been because of our 3p dining time, but I would have waited longer for "fresher" main courses. (This is just how it seemed, for all I know they were fresh, but just weren't served in a timely manner.)

Now a bit of a personal gripe for me. I'm Vegan for health reasons. Not super fun, but I get by. When I find a place that shows Vegan choices on their menu, I'm super excited. And I was very excited to try King's BierHaus. Unfortunately I found out at least one item they had marked as Vegan was made with chicken stock. (I'm paranoid and ask about everything.) That made me really wonder about the ingredients and preparation of the other "vegan" dishes (including some I'd already eaten.)

My trust in the menu just took a nose dive.

Overall we had a decent time (the beer and company helped,) though it could have...

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars. I read some reviews prior to visiting for the first time and noticed a recurring mention of the restaurant being so loud and wondered how much truth to that there was and just how bad it could really be.

Question answered. It is insanely noisy during busy hours. I had a splitting headache when I left along with a sore throat from trying to talk to our group at the table. Having a conversation with people is nearly impossible which only makes people yell louder. I get and love a busy place with lots of people within reason, this was not that.

To the owners, every aspect of this place was awesome except the off the charts volume level. I would strongly recommend some sound deadening panels placed throughout the restaurant to help with the acoustics. I spoke with some guests while there and I got the same feedback. The staff were telling me they even wished something would be done when I brought it up. The entry way also needs this because perhaps that was even louder than the main dining areas. I couldn't hear the hostess or the folks taking our orders without leaning uncomfortably close to them.

Food, ambiance and staff were awesome. I did tell the manager and server that something really needs to be done about the noise levels. I would have a hard time going back if interacting with folks was an objective because you will lose your voice from trying to yell.

If extreme noise is an issue for you go during off-hours. Enjoy the food, drinks and staff as those parts were excellent.

I will try this place again in a few months, hopefully something has been done and this place will get 5 stars from me under a revised review. My head, ears and throat will thank you.

Definite must try location if you...
