We visited for the first time Easter 2025. We live in Switzerland for a while and got to appreciate Germanic food there and in Austria and Germany. We are a bit picky. We picked up the college yute and headed south to New Braunfels. The restaurant is unassuming from the outside. There was plenty of parking. When we went inside - boom - we were transported to a restaurant in Europe. Wow. The tables were mostly full. Be sure to make a reservation. There are several rooms with tables. The inside is decorate with brick and decor just like a place we like near Zurich. Very nice looking. The service was excellent and efficient. We started with some fried zucchini - I don't mind saying the best I ever had. The appetizer is very large and easily fed the three of us. Then the yute and I had a side salad with a fantastic dill dressing. They lady had a mushroom soup that she liked. A pumpernickel / rye type of swirled bread was served also, with butter. The lady had pork Jager schnitzel and mushroom gravy, potato salad and red cabbage. She said it was great, but could only eat half and got the rest to go. The yute tried the double sausage plate (smoked and bratwurst) with German potato salad, red cabbage. It came with a mustard and a cheese dipping sauce. He enjoyed the smoked, but like the bratwurst better. I had the chicken zigeuner schnitzel with spaetzle, and red cabbage. Let me take a moment - that schnitzel was so large, flattened, moist and cooked perfectly that I don't think I had it better in Europe. Cheers to the chef. I had a Hungarian type gravy with paprika and peppers. Delicious. The red cabbage was excellent - not too sour or sweet. The spaetzle were fresh and just great. I had my gravy on the side in a small bowl as I wasn't sure what it would taste like. I would recommend for everyone to get the gravy on the side so you can share flavors. We were so full we forgot to try a dessert (next time). I am not sure how long Alpine Haus has been in business, but it was a great experience with delicious food. Good job.

Best best best restaurant best food the most quaint, it's in a little white house that was built in the year 1850, it is a historical home turned into a restaurant...... the staff that they've hired are completely clueless I need desperately desperately need to train them but we were able to deal with (I believe he was the manager owner) and he was fantastic but he needs to stop everything and train his "teenage employees"..... thank God somebody at our table when we dining had been to Germany 🇩🇪 for a month and then they were also fluent in German , so our time their went flawlessly and we all ordered through the knowledge of the person at our table that was very "well versed" but if it wasn't for her being at our table it wouldn't have gone so smoothly..... I never knew German food could be so delicious we started with the fried mushrooms there are really excellent and one order was pretty much enough for four people we ordered the main dishes two of us got pork and then the others ordered varied dishes along with their delicious beer, I'm so impressed that when I go back to Texas I've got to go to this restaurant again it was one of my favorite restaurants that I've ever been to .....so cute and quaint very comfortable and the food is incredibly perfect it's just the wait staff that is in dire need to be trained on everything the menu is about because the owner and the manager don't really realize how many questions get asked of these young girls and they just don't have any answers or they reply with these silly little phrases because they're clueless about the menu and they are clueless about the food .....so if you have any questions about the menu I suggest asking for the manager or owner to answer your questions because the wait staff again they're "super Clueless"

Living in New Braunfels, Texas, the Alpine Haus Restaurant is a German food must try!! The most authentic German food you can get in a multi city radius. The atmosphere is old school and the service is great. The food is the star though! We went with friends since none of us had been there for awhile. We all said “excellent decision for dinner”. Fried Mushrooms 9/10 - they came lightly fried with a horseradish base dipping sauce. I know, it sounds a little weird, but holy cow was it good! You just have to experience it yourself. Sausage Sampler Platter 9/10 - it comes with 3 different sausages that are chefs choice. The sampler comes with 2 dips, a beer cheese and German mustard. The beer cheese was good, but the German mustard was my favorite. A little bold, but not overpowering. I added a side of German sauerkraut which was amazing. Jaeger Schnitzel 10/10 - this dish was really good! The schnitzel was cooked to perfection. It was lightly battered, moist and cut cut with a fork. The mushroom sour cream gravy added a nice flavorful touch. Chicken Cordon Bleu 9/10 - another excellent dish worth exploring. Jaeger Rahm Schnitzel 10/10 - look above at the Jaeger Schnitzel. Same experience. Service 8/10 - overall good. Sophie was our server and was great. She was nice and helpful. Atmosphere 9/10 - old school charm and cozy digs. Overall 10/10 - must try if you like authentic German food

Visited today Tues 11/5/19@noon & ordered my usual chicken cordon bleu. A year ago, I used to visit regularly traveling from San Antonio but Unfortunately today’s experience wasn’t the same being less than expected. When I arrived.. there were only a few customers & was seated immediately but the server seemed to be unavailable but eventually appeared. Ordered garlic soup instead of salad but it was delivered with the consistency of very thick gravy in which I could only tolerate a few spoonfuls & when the receptionist took my bowl, I mentioned it was like gravy in which she said “it was a little thick today”. Then when the server brought my chicken cordon bleu plate out I immediately noticed the dish was different & had changed from when they used to have an entire length of plate chicken with the ham & Swiss cheese atop instead of the now tiny little piece of chicken with the cheese & ham inside but they conveniently placed the gravy bowl inside the dish to make up the room when larger portions of chicken filled the plates. For this review I attach today’s time/dated pic of the new small portion in comparison to the numerous past plates that were much more generous. For $23 dollar lunch it’s a bit disappointing to realize the food & portions have changed that much in just a years time. Certainly Not worth my traveling from San Antonio anymore. Good luck folks.

We celebrated our 11-year wedding anniversary with Alpine Haus tonight. It was our first time dining there. When we booked our reservation last week, I informed the hostess on the phone of our special occasion, and again when calling to confirm our reservation today. When we arrived, we were seated by the manager I’m assuming, who simply asked us our name and quickly whisked us away to our table. Not once during the entire meal did a staff member recognize our anniversary. I didn’t expect our server to know, because I doubt she was even informed. This review would have been a 5-star experience, but at $100 per person after tip for two people, I find that pretty unacceptable. Additionally, we had been looking forward to Apple streusel for dessert, and all they had left at 6:30 pm on a Saturday was alpine cake. This experience aside, the food and our server were all wonderful. The jager-rahm schnitzel and beer selection were fabulous and the vinaigrette they use on their side salad is so good we bought a quart! The live accordion musician singing German songs was also a very nice touch. Overall, if you’re craving authentic German cuisine, Alpine Haus is the place to get it. I would choose to have your special occasion elsewhere however, because the hospitality just isn’t there for the price point and your special day simply will go forgotten and unrecognized.

The service was great. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and quickly seated. The waitress did not rush us and thoroughly explained menu options and answered all our questions. Our party of four had the sausage platter appetizer, Weiner schitzel, two Jager schnitzels, a hunter's stew. Each entree came with a soup or salad. We all opted for the salad and it was delicious. The dressing is light but flavorful with dill and seasonings. The sausage platter arrived and we all enjoyed it. You get to try 3 different sausages with mustard and cheese dipping sauces. Our entrees arrived and portion size is definitely not a problem here because you get a lot of food. The one thing lacking on all our plates was salt. Once we added that to our food, the flavors came through. We also tried the sauerkraut and red cabbage. My only complaint with those is I like them to still have a bit of crunch and these did not. Overall, the restaurant is charming and brought back memories of my time in Germany and if in New Braunfels I may come back to try some more of their menu.
