Manor Oktoberfest — Restaurant in New York

The only reason why I do not mind giving it a 1 star coz the waitress was very nice but the food was literally the worse I've ever had! I am German from Germany there for I grew up knowing what German food should taste like and my parents are both chefs and I work in the restaurant industry for years. The beer was a draft beer that felt a little water down, biggest insult to any German is to mess with our beer. 1st I had the onion rings:the oil tastes very old, there for making the onion rings this heavy soggy taste that you only get with old oil. Then I ordered the Jägerschnitzel ( that came with home friese and a side of sour kraut ): that was a true atrocity! Home friese so salty I could not eat them; IDK where they came up with the idea that the sour kraut was sour kraut, coz beside the vegetable was over cook it was RED CABBAGE ( no where in Germany they make sour kraut with red cabbage!) The Jäger sauce (mushroom sauce )that was on the Schnitzel is suppose to be like a creamy grave and it was just a liquidy brown sauce also salty like hell! The side of Späetzle, was beyond insulting, besides they didn't know what Kase Späetzle was , cheese Späetzle that EVERYONE in Germany and Austria (Späetzle are actually originally from Australia, just like Schnitzle ) offers , I ask the waitress if she could ask the kitchen to make it, by just mix in some some cheese in with the Späetzle. Well I was not ready for what I got, a slice of kraft cheese melted most likely in a microwave, not even mixt in, just laid on top; but the even worse part was the actual Späetzle, definitely store bought, which they do sell some good store bought ones, but these where litteraly maccheroni, like lil fusilli , the dough is NOTHING like what Späetzle is supposed to be like aaaand it was under cook. I order a Marzipan cake, which I was pretty sure it would be a store bought one, which at this point I was looking foward to since I literally had no more then 2 bites of everything coz everything was unedible and I was thinking there is no way they can screw up a cake. Boy was I wrong! Marzipan cake is suppose to have Marzipan in side with the dough, with a layer or actual marzipan and cream in the middle and Marzipan on top . Well... this cake had a very dry sponge cake middle, with a chef's cream and fruit jelly center with a swirl of Marzipan on top, a real disappointment. I did paid for my food because I know how hard the food industry was hurt due to covid, but i will most definitely never come back and will tell everyone I know to not bother wasting there money here, specially since it is very expensive and the food quality I would not even...

More than just a great pub. More than just a great restaurant. This is a true community space with people from all walks of life. Having been a customer for nearly a decade and a half, Manor Oktoberfest NEVER disappoints. I have been comforted by friendly staff during the lowest points in my life, I have been celebrated by the Manor family during my highest points, and every time in between, I have ALWAYS been greeted with a warm smile, and even a hug from staff members. Mark, the owner is a gentleman and an innovator. His high quality menu is never stale and is always putting a spin on classic American and German/European dishes. From Stromboli egg rolls, to grilled Schnitzel, and his rotating wursts and burgers of the month, you will be tempted to try a new dish every single time. Mark also makes his presence known in the community as a charitable man and your classic blue collar guy from Queens. Stephanie, the GM, keeps an orderly bar and a restaurant packed with satisfied customers on a daily basis. Her demeanor not only as a leader, but as a friendly face is a rare balance in the restaurant business. Aside from five star service and food quality, Manor consistently has the freshest and coldest selection of imported German beer in NYC. As a member of the Manor Stein Club, I can assure anyone who is a beer lover that Manor Oktoberfest is your spot. I have had quality conversations with people from all five boroughs, Long Island, and all over the state of NY. Better still, folks from as far as Chicago, Colorado, New Jersey, Virginia, Connecticut, and even Austrailia have made it a point to stop in at Manor multiple times before leaving for home.There is quite nothing like Manor Okotberfest Forest Hills, and to not make a visit here means you are missing out on one of NYC's...

Made a reservation on the spot and they took us in right away. The place was full and both Yankees and Mets were playing on the screens. Came here with my buddies for the bacon. It is so damn good. We tend to fight for the last pieces. Our server, Joanna, was a delight. She always has a smile on her face, and it is welcoming and makes you want to order more. She also leaves you alone to enjoy your food. She has a good pace to check in on the table. I felt bad...there are 2 girls running the tables and they work really hard and still manage to keep a smile. I praise them for how hard they work. We order quite a few things. Including bacon...crab cakes, perogies, flank steak, 2 types of weiner schnitzel. All were good. We also ordered quite a bit of beer. My 2 buddies ordered the Boot which holds 2 liters of beer. It's only Sheffenhofer so it only has 2.5% alcohol. The NBA playoffs came on and we stayed for majority of the game. Besides us having a good time, I can say Joanna was really nice and took good care of us. She is very thoughtful of what is good to order as well. She is a good reason to return to...
