Review The German Club Adelaide - Adelaide

Eclectic is a great adjective for this restaurant/bar/club. The walls are completely full of Artefacts from across Germany as well as different German clubs in Australia. Friendly service and a great beer selection. Also enjoyed the German food on offer - the potato pancake was next level!

Great beer, great food, great atmosphere... and it doesn't matter if you're German or not, they always make you feel welcome.:)

Interesting place for a meal and a beer. Food quality was above your run of the mill pub fare, with some interesting but sometimes repetative sauces accompanying the courses. Meals were not too large but more than enough to leave you full. Staff efficiency was exceptional, with no fake friendships, so you can concentrate on eating and enjoying the company of those you came with.

Delicious food and delicious beer. Can not complain. Very relaxed setting. Just strange hearing the Aussie accents, could be in Germany ;)

We had dinner here because we had a voucher and I'm so glad we did because the food and service was excellent! We will go back again and again. Very friendly,loved the atmosphere. Pretzel for entree was delicious and my beef goulash was just as I hoped it would be.Next time will try something different. Really enjoyable with the accordian players in the background.

I love this place on a cold Saturday afternoon and enjoy watching the members sitting at the bar and whiling away the afternoon with good food, booze and company. I had a trio of sausage and my friend had a schnitzel and of course we had to have two glasses of wine and two glasses of beer to wash it all down. Left very full, happy and satisfied.

My family is of German origin so going here is like a little piece of Germany! Had the salted pretzel for entree and Trio of sausages with sauerkraut and mash potato for main and it was delicious! And a very good portion size. Beer selection is great and available in steins! Service is friendly and pricing is affordable. Highly recommend! #SCHNELL

Wonderful atmosphere and so much fun. The Club is split over 3 levels, each with something different to offer. Plenty of room to move around. Stairs could be troublesome for some people but mostly the place accommodates for all needs. Love the look and feel of the place on the inside. Looking in from the outside it doesn't look like much but it really is worth the visit.

Very disappointed, not a true representation of German food...Their were 5 of us...My meal was pork knuckle.tasted terrible .did not enjoy the sauerkraut, the potato cakes were sloppy tasted more like an egg omelette with a tiny bit of potato..I liked the red cabbage, that was all...waste of $32. Others in the group had roulanden. Very dry. The only meal that looked ok was the chicken on salad. Very disappointed. Will not be returning.

You would think a place that's serves a dish, which is an icon of the culture it represents, would get it right wouldn't you. Not so at the German club. Any self respecting German club should be able to produce a tasty Weiner Schnitzel. Take one juicy pork cutlet,season well, coat in quality bread crumbs, and fry in oil and butter. Serve with sautéed potatoes, a tasty salad and you have a traditional German schnitzel. Not at the German club, the schnitzel was bland and chewy, they would not serve with sautéed potatoes, even though on the menu, and charge an extra $4 for chips which arrived stone cold. Then charge an extra $1.50 for 20 mls of gravy. Drop a small bowl on the plate with a couple of spoons of lettuce and you have a $27.50 crappy schnitzel. There a better German meals elsewhere in Adelaide, give this one a miss.

Ditched the vegetarian member of the family and headed to The German Club for dinner. Service was fantastic and friendly, atmosphere was great and the food was excellent! My son had been before and told me the schnitzel was the size of his head...I thought he was exaggerating so I ordered a side of chips-big mistake, when the food came, I realised he wasn't joking. We all opted for the Jaeger schnitzel- full of flavour ,tender and juicy meat, crumbs were not oily and the side serves of mashed potatoes and salad were of a very generous size. I wanted to try the desserts but there was no room left...have to go back!

Excellent Food, being German myself, I can't fault any of their German dishes, they are almost as good as my mum's cooking! I go there at least once a month for dinner and I love it! Great atmosphere as well!

Have always had a soft spot for this place and for a good reason! The staff have a lovely nature and the food has improved immensely over the last year. <br/><br/>A good deal is every that is applicable to me is every Thursday night, they offer Uni Students $10 Schnitzels! Crazy cheap for some quality food, you wont get a serving of chips be warned...but you will get amazing potato salad and another side of salad! Ordering a pretzel as an entree and a side of chips to share is a must! <br/><br/>Also the variety of German beers they have on tap and in bottle is amazing. Will return for the food and service :)!

Fantastic atmosphere, cheap authentic meals, noisy, busy, fast paced and raucious! Everything a German club should be! Must be back to visit again soon.

A few weeks ago there was an article in the newspaper that had awarded The German Club with the best schnitzel in Adelaide. We tried to go that night but they were fully booked. Well last night we finally got there, Michele and two of our friends. <br/><br/>There appears to be multiple dining areas, a function room where a birthday party was being celebrated was one but we went to the Club area. There is a bar with a host of German beers available (not being a big beer drinker the range was lost on me but I can see it would be appealing). The dining area was pleasant and had that club feel with club memorabilia on display around the walls. <br/><br/>The menu was extremely limited, apparently the full menu is only available mid week, which was disappointing as the only options were fish or a chicken or pork schnitzel. Found it strange there was not veal. As we were here for the schnitzel it was ok but a side order of wursts would have been good. <br/><br/>I ordered a chicken Jäger Weiner schnitzel which came with a mushroom and bacon creamy gravy which was very good (shame one of our friend's plate come out without the bacon, this was corrected once we brought it to the waiters attention). It came with a creamy mashed potato and a small side salad. <br/><br/>I really enjoyed the schnitzel, it was a good size and well cooked. The chicken was nice and juicy and the crime not greasy which can be an issue. The mash was good and with the mushroom gravy it was excellent on the cold night. The salad was nice and well dressed but on a cold night a vegetable option would be better. <br/><br/>The staff were generally good, the person taking the orders was obviously new and was having troubles taking the orders and had no knowledge of the items on the menu. The bar staff were good and the waiter was good, the waiter took a real interest in how we liked or meals. <br/><br/>In summary, taking into account that this is a club's dining room and not a restaurant the food had a bit of that home cooked feel that was very tasty and a decent sized serve. The staff were good. The decor was as to be expected. The price was excellent. I will return.

Don't Bother. After reading the reviews I expected a cosy, friendly restaurant with simple but tasty food. Instead we wandered in through a couple of rooms before finding the dining room and then the only person in the place was behind the bar. There were no other diners in the place and now I know why. The menu consisted almost entirely of meat and carbs with few of the meals being served with any kind of vegetables. We made our selections and then went up to the counter to order where the chef seemed very distracted but took our order and gave us one of those paging buzzers they use at burger places to let us know when to collect them. I had the beef schnitzel with chips and mushroom sauce. Frankly it tasted like it came from a packet from Woolworths (or maybe not that good) Mum had the gulasch which was a series of chunks of meat and a pile of mashed potato without any of the rich sauce I would usually expect around a goulash. A friend had the kassler which supposedly came with roast vegetables but they definitely didn't look it and she said it tasted as if it had been vacuum sealed before.<br/>We though that it would get better with cherry crumble pie for dessert but instead of a pie oozing delicious juices it had a few pieces of cherry in a thick jelly type surround.<br/>Overall we were very disappointed with the food. Maybe other people only come for the beer (which we didn't have) but if you are coming for the food then don't bother.

We went for dinner last Friday night. Lucky we booked a table as it was packed due to happy hour! Food very basic sausages, schnitzel, sauerkraut etc. but really yum & prices very affordable. Definitely a place to visit with a group & more for the atmosphere & beer!

Simple home style German food. Almost like a canteen as there's no table service. Take a number and wait to be called. GREAT German beers. Good thick beef schnitzels. Love their chips too.

Welcome to a Festive club. Popped in for dinner after work. Lucky we booked a table as the place was full. With there being so many people, it was very noisy. The beer was cold and in larger glassware, as you would expect. The food was very traditional just like I remembered as a kid. Don't expect fine dining, but you will not leave on an empty stomach. Good value for money and cheaper than Handorf.

After first being a little confused as to what the dining arrangements are in the German Club, I found the place to be very friendly. The German selection of food are great simple home style meals. As expected the beer is fantastic and unless you specify otherwise you'll have it served to you in a giant pint glass or stein.

Good atmosphere.. Went to the German Club for dinner and a few drinks. After much consideration, I ended up deciding on the chicken schnitzel.<br/><br/>I wasn't overly impressed - the meal itself was pretty plain, and I have had alot tastier and larger schnitzels elsewhere - but as a start to my night out, I guess the meal was satisfactory enough, however it left me thinking that I probably should have gone with another choice of meal.<br/><br/>The club itself has a great atmosphere inside, with the walls covered in German memorabilia and a feeling of warmth about the room.<br/><br/>They definitely have a great range of beers to accompany any meal selection you might make.

I’m a regular at the German Club when it comes to Oktoberfest celebrations. Having been to Germany late last year, I am impressed that certain parts of the venue have been decked out similarly to what you find over there. Every Friday night in October, the place is packed to capacity. The beer and cider is cheap, and the atmosphere is vibrant. It’s certainly the place to be at this time of year. I’ve had many meals off their menu and I must say I haven’t been impressed in the past. Last night, I ordered the Cheese Kransky. The dish came with side servings of mash potato and sauerkraut. Ready 15 minutes after ordering the dish was nicely presented. The dish was simple really and something you couldn’t stuff up. With a $13 price tag, it’s a bit more than I would expect to pay for a sausage. Cheese Kransky Kranskys aside, this is a great place to go for Oktoberfest celebrations. The music, the dancing, the crowds, the beer, the atmosphere. Make sure you check this place out every Friday i
