Bavarian Castle

Due to an apparent problem paying the lease, the landlord has posted the restaurant as locked out. Dunno if it will reopen. We were really hoping to try it.

Authentic German food, charming décor, and great service. Will definitely be coming back. If you’re in the mood for a home cooked meal, Bavarian Caste won’t disappoint. Kristy was our server. She was super friendly and made our meal extra special.

Das Restaurant ist sehr gut. Ich gebe es eine solide 4 Sterne. Yes, 4 stars for sure.
Ambiance — Very small, nice and pleasant. Good soft lighting and very home style. This is a casual place for friends to go and enjoy.
Service — very, very good. Nice, quick and knowledgeable. This was an added plus and considering there was one waitress for about 8 parties while we were there, that was to me very good.
The Beer — Had the Konig Ludwig Weissbier on Draft. Enjoyed that thoroughly. Not too much carbonation and a very deep taste while light at the same time. Draft beers are so drinkable!
The food —
Mega Pretzel Dip Plate — So, they don’t have the mega pretzel any longer because it doesn’t stay nice and soft very long… But they did give us three pretzels and they were good with dipping mustards and tons of salt…
Goulash and Spaetzle — This pot roast was very tender and melt in your mouth. The waitress recommended we try this on top of the spaetzle dumplings and that made it tasty.
Giant Sausage Plate — this had a curry sausage, Beer Bratwurst, Bavarian Bratwurst and the Bockwurst. I ordered mine with two sides and had the spaetzle and the french fries. Those fries were amazing and while I am not a huge spaetzle fan, come on, you gotta try it. This was a rather large plate and I ordered it to try the different sausages and to bring the rest home. Three different mustards are served. Huge portion too.
Schnitzel with Creamy Mushroom — My son had this and it was very good. The veal was tasty and when you add the creamy mushroom sauce on it, what a great combo. Good size portion.
The Apple Steudel — Flakey, moist and melts in your mouth. Not very tart and not too sweet. Comes with ice cream and whipped cream. This is a great rendition of an apple streudel.
Bread Pudding with Toffee — Yeah, a chocolate bread pudding with Toffee. This was darn good.
GK says get your lederhosen on and come on down and try this place. Just remember, German food is more comfort food and down home basics.
If they had daily specials and some real German liver and other organ type dishes, I would have enjoyed that very much.

Tasty food, fast service. Most menu its are well worth there value in pricing in relation to proportion sizes. Exception is the Rouladen at $ 22.50, tasty but minimal food in relation to the meat portions. You only get one meat roll.
We had the mulled wine – excellent choice on this cold and blustery day.

My aunt and I just had a great lunch at Bavarian Castle. It feels like a mom and pop shop, the kind of place you want to succeed. After we ate the owner/​cook came out and chatted a bit and we really felt like welcome guests that were fed from the heart. We tried the potato pancakes as an appetizer and they reminded me of my grandfathers. crispy and perfect. I had the schnitzel with mushroom sauce and spazle on the side. It was perfect — rich and filling but not heavy. My aunt had the rouladin and I had a taste, super tender and flavorful. I’d have either again in a heart beat. We both had the Warsteiner pilsner which paired well and we were given a free sample of the desert, a brioche pumpkin bread pudding and it was as good as any and better than most. It was a very pleasant surprise and I’ll be back.

We ate dinner at the Bavarian Castle last Saturday. It is a darling mom & pop restaurant. Our server Kristie was very attentive and knowledgeable. She gave us a little background on the owners and how they came to Vegas. I’m so glad they did! We enjoyed Vienna style schnitzel, Jäger schnitzel, (I could bathe in that mushroom cream sauce!) a variety of sausages and delicious spätzle, all cooked by the owner Uli. I grew up eating my Grandma’s German food. This was a reminder of all those delicious meals. We will be back on our next Vegas trip. The Bavarian Castle was a perfect fit for our family.

I spent six weeks in Germany, spending time roaming Bavaria, hitting Oktoberfest and eating the cuisine. I’ve had my share of the different styles from casual to expensive German food. With that said, this is a pretty good German restaurant in LV. I’ve been here a few times ordering the sauerbraten which was a good choice for me. The red cabbage and spätzle were great, really enjoyed it. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very Bavarian.

This is a small spot in a strip mall. As a fan of (good) German food, I was excited to try this spot. Good German food has been next to impossible to find in Vegas. It was empty when we went around 6pm on a weekday evening. There was one staffer/​server. She was incredibly nice and friendly. Absolutely excellent service. However, it seemed to be a bad cook night? Everything was good, but too overdone. Had the pretzel been warmer and not so tough, I would’ve liked it. Had the schnitzel not been overcooked, I probably would’ve loved it. The creamy mushroom sauce was good. The warm potato salad was good. Perhaps this is just a hit or miss place? I’d be willing to give it another try another day and see if the food is better. This spot has promise, but it failed to deliver. The décor was cute. The menu seemed pretty authentic.

Fantastic snitzel and spatzle. Mushroom gravy is wonderful. Nice little mom and pop, hole in the wall place.

Service: Not very friendly, definitly no customer service as you will receive in other restaurants.
I am german and I was looking forward to a nice german dinner with my family. Schnitzel is beyond the quality you would get from any fast food place in germany. Please do not compary this to real german food — it is not! Way overpriced for what you get. Final, I will never waste my money again to take my family to a place like that, no pride in german cooking. Definitly can NOT recommend at all.

This was a hard one to rate. My 3 stars are based on the food to price ratio. The service was 5 stars.
I went here with a group of 12 other people and they closed the place just for our group since the place is on the smaller side and they were short handed that day. We were treated like VIPs. Always on top of filling our sodas, I must of got at least 4 refills, and letting us taste samples to see if we would like something. The table all ordered a mix of different dishes and I believe everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I had the beer bratwurst with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. I am not a fan of kraut but this one had bacon in it so it wasn’t that bad. Overall the price for my plate was $ 12.95 and I thought that was a little pricey for the portion on the plate. The brat was cooked good and was tasty, I just wish I had another one. I also had apple strudel for dessert and it was super good with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream.

Love this place! If you are in the mood for real German food this is place to go. So delicious. Felt like i was back in Munich and they have killer draft beers.

Yet another disappointing German Establishment. 1 star for the beer and that’s it. I am married to a German so I know a thing or 2 about authentic German Cooking. We knew better than to try to eat at another German restaurant but we really wanted to give it a shot.
Beware, dishes are overpriced and service is horrible. Koenig Ludwig beer is great. But do yourself a favor and grab yourself a six pack from Whole foods and save yourself (and your wallet) a trip to this place. While you are at Whole foods, treat yourself to a delicious Pretzel hogie. Between the beer and the pretzel, you will have yourself a more authentic, cheaper, German dish with better service as an added bonus!
This place is ironically located at the old Meat and 3 location. Hmmm I wonder how long it will take before they suffer a similar fate.

What comes to mind with the meal we had here is «meh». It wasn’t bad but it certainly wasn’t great. The location is way off strip and the décor is cute. My wife is Austrian and she felt the schnitzel wasn’t fried as it should have been. It was not crispy as you might expect. Her mom ordered the kinder frankfurter and she enjoyed it.
The owner of the restaurant isn’t very friendly but he appears to be the cook so he is probably busy. We asked where the frankfurters were from and he wouldn’t tell us. Um. OK whatever buddy. Vegas is lacking when it comes to German restaurants so this is a viable option. We have tried Café Berlin and enjoyed it very much. Hofbrau is great for ambiance but the prices are very high.
This place is just ok. I wouldn’t drive across town to come here.

Food: We ordered the typical bavarian food which are schnitzels and sausages. The food was tasty, and the side dishes which are the potatoes and sauerkraut were seasoned just right. Although my gripe is that the amount of food served in relation to the price wasn’t really good. Overall as far as taste is concerned it was good. My only reference with regards to taste is the other well known German Restaurant here in Las Vegas which is Hofbrauhaus and it definitely is better than hofbrauhaus
Ambiance: Homely Establishment, where your eating at a family friends house.
Overall: Would definitely come back and try other foods on their menu.

Decided to try Lunch at the Bavarian Castle while I was in the Henderson area. The restaurant is a cozy place among many stores in busy strip mall. Decorations and background music make you feel like you are in Europe.
Service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the Bockwurst which comes with Potato salad and a choice of soup or salad. I chose the soup of the day which was Lentil. The cup of soup was a hearty style with pieces of potato and sausage. A good warm you up comfort food. The Bockwurst is served with a tasty mustard on the side. The Potato salad was a familiar German style with with bacon and served warm. A separate item ordered was the Potato Pancakes. These were nice and crispy on the outside but lacked flavor and needed seasoning.
If you are in Henderson and looking for some authentic German food give it a try. I do not think it’s worth a drive across town for a meal.

It’s not hard to argue that options for German food in Vegas are pretty limited. Bavarian Castle, which is located on Eastern just off Sunridge Heights, has only been open for about 7 months now. In that short time, it seems as if they’ve made quite a name for themselves for locals in the area. We visited on a Saturday night around 6pm, walked in to a packed house and were informed that reservations are normally required for weekends. They told us it just gets too busy, and with only about a dozen or so tables total in the place, we were lucky to get squeezed in. Just after we walked in, they actually ended up just straight turning down two other couples. The weird thing is that by time we were done eating, which took maybe 30 minutes or so, basically the entire restaurant was empty. So, while reservations don’t seem necessary in the normal way, I’d recommend it so you don’t get told to turn around and leave.
The service we got during our dinner though, was amazing! This restaurant is family run from kitchen to table. Our waiter, who is the daughter, was extremely friendly and nearly served the whole restaurant herself without missing a beat. Her mom was in the kitchen cooking the entire time, and when it slowed down, came out to talk to us and thanked us for coming in. You really just get a great feeling from the place, and that on its own deserves 5 stars!
It’s really too bad that the food just didn’t quite get there, and for me definitely didn’t meet all the praise it’s gotten. We started off with a pretzel, which is one of my wife’s favorite items. Her grandmother is from Germany and she always raves about the ones she ate when she traveled there with her. At $ 15 (yes, fifteen) for 1 giant pretzel, this was something I definitely can’t recommend ordering. It seems as if they might make these at an earlier time, then freeze and reheat when needed. Besides the larger portion of it, the texture was about as close to rubber as you can get and pretty much inedible. For the parts we were able to eat, I did like the flavor and slight crispness of the outside. It’s also served with 4 decent dipping sauces, including a nice spreadable French cheese.
For dinner, I ordered a Beer Bratwurst plate and she ordered the Schnitzel w/​Mushroom Sauce and a side of Spaetzle. I took a few bites of her schnitzel and it too was hard to eat. The mushroom sauce on its own was very good, but the whole dish was so beyond greasy that you couldn’t even taste the meat. My brat was decent, but had very little flavor and was a bit on the dry side. The whole plate (served with mash potatoes and sauerkraut) was pretty small portioned for $ 13 too. I wasn’t a fan of the mashed potatoes because they were greasy as well and again, had just about no flavor. The sauerkraut though, was very good! It looks like it’s made in house. Has a nice crunch to it, it’s not overly sour and is even a little bit sweet. It’s really good enough to where you could eat it on by itself. I’m just disappointed that it was pretty much the highlight of our meal.
For those seeking German brews though, this place has quite a few to offer. Not only do they keep a good list of bottled beers, they even rotate a few on draft. I ordered a medium sized Warsteiner Pilsner, which was priced good at only $ 5.50 and tasted great. They don’t serve it ice cold and you won’t find any frozen glasses in this place! Just the way it should be.
Our bill with 1 appetizer, 2 dinners and 2 beers came out to a little over $ 70 with tip. For the price, I just didn’t think it was worth it. Even with our limited German options, there’s better out there and it won’t cost you as much. I really do love and appreciate that feeling like you’re just eating over at a friends house, but I think they fall too short on the execution. And maybe we didn’t get the whole experience since it was just so busy, but it’ll be a while before we give Bavarian Castle another shot.

Soooo MUCH FUN! The food was good and ABSOLUTLY ‘d our server, Nicole~ she is charming, funny just a joy!!!
The potato pancakes «THE BEST» a DEFINATE must have~ I ordered the weinersnitzel with the creamy mushroom gravy & mashed potatoes. It was OK~ my husband had bratwurst w/​warm German potato salad and raved how delicious it was. He also had a German beer that was FAB! I don’t drink beer BLEH ~ nor sausage double BLEH, BLEH!
Be sure to order the desert, apple strudel… INFRICKINCREDIABLE! REALLY! Served warm with ice cream, topped with whipped cream and dusted with cinnamon.
This is a small family runned business, check it out I don’t think you’ll be disappointed… ask for Nicole

Really love this little spot. I’ve seen a few German restaurants come & go in this town, so when I read about this one I was quite pleased. Both times I came for lunch, and both times were consistently as good (however that could be due to ordering the exact same meal lol.) Everything seemed authentic & freshly prepared. Friendly server was informative, friendly and efficient.
Can’t wait to come back for dinner. Time for some Romanian style goulash! There are 50% off coupons sometimes in local advertisements, so keep an eye out.

I grew up eating German dishes on occasion, but it wasn’t until I had a layover in Germany that I began to really appreciate the cuisine. I was excited when I learned that Bavarian Castle opened in my neighborhood. We stopped in for dinner. When we walked in there were no warm greetings. Staff was a bit stand offish, just as we were about to turn around and leave another gentleman appeared and invited us to sit down. Boy! Am I glad we didn’t go.
Immediately, we were pleased to see they had König Ludwig Weissbier. It is one of our favorite beers that can sometimes be a rare find. We ordered the Schnitzel with mushroom sauce and a Platter of Sausages. The platter isn’t on the menu, but we wanted to sample all the varieties so they put it together for us. It was a great presentation showcasing all their delicious offerings. We loved the sausages. The Schnitzel was a bit on the tough side, but flavor was good. We were much too full for dessert, but we won’t miss the strudel next time.
