Review Brisbane German Club - Brisbane

The German Club in Brisbane is a true gem. Both the food and service are consistently great.

Still my favourite place to get excellent German food! Always well worth the trip for the pork knuckles and a huge range of amazing beers on tap

The German club in Brisbane has a lot of delicious traditional German food. The size as well as the price of the meal is good. They have a great variety of German beer. Big and smaller brewery’s. There is sometimes live music and a group of German regulars.

I've seen a lot of posts from the German Club about their weekly and monthly deals in the Zum Kaiser restaurant, especially on facebook. I had been toying with the idea for around 12 months to go and try their monthly special $20 pork knuckle. Well, I'm sad to say that I waited 12 months too long!! I love pork knuckle. I had eaten it in Sydney, and also another place in Brisbane, but to this day, the best I've had has been at Zum Kaiser. Absolutely delicious! You have to book a table in advance, that's no problem at all as you can easily do this all online. Then, all you have to do is turn up at the time you've booked. If you haven't been to the German Club before, you'll be required to pay for a $5 membership if you live within 15kms of the reataurant. Too easy! $5 for a 1 year membership is great value, which you won't have to pay for again on any future visits. You do have to queue up to place your order at the restaurant counter, which is off to the right of the bar as you walk in from the main entrance. I had to wait in line for around 20 minutes to place my order, a little long, but I did book a table at 12:30pm which is the busiest time for lunch. I ordered, took my seat and waited another 20 minutes for the food, which was brought to my table. The pork knuckle looked delicious and tasted every bit as amazing as I had anticipated it would! The meat was tender, and not under done or tough. The crackling was crispy and not overly salty. The small roast potatos and sauerkraut complimented the pork knuckle perfectly. But the one thing that sets this dish on fire is the smoked beer gravy. I've never in my life had gravy as good as this! I was a little worried that the portion size would be too big to be able to finish it, but to my delight I was able to put it all away without a prob. I didn't try any entrée beforehand, like the pretzels you see at the counter. Nor did I try any beer...which you'd all probably think is strange being in a German restaurant (I'll be trying that on my 2nd visit) haha! I didn't want to fill myself up with other food or drink. No, for my first visit I specifically went there to try the pork knuckle, and only that. It was the perfect tactic, because I was able to eat everything and not be over filled. The atmosphere of the German Club is wonderfully warm and friendly. I could hear people singing karaoke in main hall. Many families with children were there and the place was alive with activity and people enjoying themselves. It is a truly enjoyable environment. I will definitely be dining here on a regular basis. How could I not go back? $20 for this type of lunch is value too good to resist.

Best German food in se qld. Awesome selection of beers to wash down a hearty meal.

Easily one of the best authentic German restaurants I've been to. Excellent food. Huge portions. Great range of imported beers and a cosy German theme throughout. A must for anyone visiting near the Gabba.

Great atmosphere, well priced meals and the second best schweinshaxe I've ever eaten. Does book up quickly so best to reserve a table. Most extensive range of beer I've seen in SEQ. Speedy and efficient service.

Food was great, I ate too much but that's my fault. Staff are helpful and pleasant. I will go back with more people to attempt the pork knuckle.
