Best place, great food. And excellent customer service. Thank you Gargi for your very good customer service. Very responsive table service.���������
Our experience was nothing but fantastic. The share platter we had was amazing, beautifully cooked and so filling. Apple strudel was to die for. The service was exceptional, staff were friendly, helpful and prompt. Will definitely go back with the whole family.
Went to do a pick up at Hofbrauhaus yesterday and realised they are only operating pick ups from The Hof Downtown at Docklands due to the current covid-19 situation. Sad to see how they are affected but good to know they still operating via pick ups and deliveries, even though the menu is limited and does not cover my favourite sausage platter. They mentioned that they are giving out free bread with all orders at the moment and I got a full size crusty sourdough loaf that was still warm from the oven. I ordered the cheese kransky and ribs. Haven’t had the ribs yet but the kransky tastes as good as I remember it. I hope their customers continue to support them through this difficult time and I wish them well in pulling through this.

The Hof continues to please as we came here for a beverage or two and some nibbles before the footy on at Marvel stadium. I find the beer here every drinkable and much more interesting that your typical Carlton Draught establishment. Good mix of footy fans and after work Friday drinkers. Food was delivered super fast and is fairly good.

Seems reasonable to have a few drinks with work colleagues as I approach the last 7 work days of a 17year career with the same company. The HOF was the perfect place to do it. Nicely refurbished last year after floods I think but
Good to go now.
They have a range of beers, mostly German or German inspired and their beer of the day was quite good if you want to mix it up. Food is very meat based which is a good thing but there are a couple of vego dishes other than the chips which arrived super hot and quite generously served.
Much better venue in summer when you want to sit outside.
The Hof continues to be in the Entertainment book for 18/19 editions
Plenty more celebrating to come over the next few days.
We came here for a work lunch today and we ordered two big platter with pork knuckle, sausages, chicken, mash potato etc. Got to say that it's the best pork knuckle I have had so far in Melbourne - it's tender, juicy, and has very crispy skin. Nothing beats it with a delicious beer that this place has got to offer! Also, very friendly service and generous offering for zomato gold! Highly recommended!
As being vegetarian, i know not much options but it was a team lunch so yes had to.
Vegetarian burger are really good, though there are many delicious items to try. But if you are vegan/vegetarian go for the vegetarian burger.
I went into The HOF Downtown on a Thursday in the early evening. It is a huge place just 2 minutes walk from Batman’s hill tram stop. The restaurant is huge and packed with people having a beer and having a good time. It is right in the middle of the business district so you will find a lot of office people sitting there.

Amazing place located at the heart of Docklands. Service was perfect (yes it feel like we booked the entire restaurants).
The mojito was very well prepared and good large size.
The signature chicken schnitzel was defiantly 10/10 with a nice side of potato salad.
Pork belly was well cook with amazing plate presentation.
Note bowl of chips is $9 but good large serving ..
My colleague and I popped in to this place for lunch last week and were impressed with the quick service despite the place being packed on a Friday afternoon.
The staff were accommodating of our special schnitzel request and were happy to deviate from what was on the menu. The kransky was delicious, although the dipping mustard was a bit too tangy for my liking.
The dessert was one of their specials for the day and when we dug in, we especially loved the salted caramel sauce on the side and the gingery raspberry on the pannacotta.
Pretty good spot for those work lunches in Docklands!
The apotheosis of German cuisine! Outstanding bretzel schnitzel, fried to perfection, the crisp was a perfect balance of flavor and crunch. The cheeky beef cheeks were delightfully soft and flavorful, bathed in barbeque sauce on a fluffy bed of delicate mashed potatoes brought tears to my eyes. The ambience brought me back to my childhood, minus the beer. Heil HOFler!
Been here a few times at various times of the day and this venue never fails to please. Meals are of great quality, atmosphere is terrific and the service is always amazing and friendly. The vibe is great, but can be quite rowdy on the weekends and evenings, so be prepared for that, especially on evenings when the footy is on. A good range of German beers are available, in serves of up to one litre, as well as plenty of wines to keep everyone satisfied. Enjoy!
Edit: Aug 19:
The lunch specials are no longer available however they are now on Zomato gold. The menu has changed but the food is still of good quality. The snitty today was a good portion and the service was great.

Good lunch specials. Snitty, mash and salad for under $15.
Full menu is more on the dearer side but good authentic German in Docklands.
Tasty food in incredibly big portions. My lamb shoulder just melt in my mouth, the best I’ve ever had!! Lovely and friendly staff too. Great atmosphere, perfect for friends/family casual gathering. Will definitely come back :)
Delish! Pork knuckle is a must with mash potato. We also had some octopus and pretzels which were a delight to eat.
We went here before a show in the city. The service was quick and friendly. Atmosphere is lively. Wish we had more time for more drinks but we had to eat and run. Highly reccomended!
On our first visit, we were disappointed because all the sausages and the ocean trout were sold out. So we cancelled our lunch and went out. The manager (the person in charge that day) said really sorry for the trouble and asked us to come back 2 days ahead as the sausages stocks will be piled up again.
We came back a week after, and the nice manager turned out still remember us! So he again apologized for the inconvenience we experience and offered us snapps on the house! Free of charge. We were really happy and appreciated. Service 10/10
For the food, MUST try their pork knuckle, really really juicy inside and crunchy outside! Perfect 10/10
The sausages were delicious 9/10
Lager beer was light and easy to drink, Dunkel was perfect too 10/10
And the snapps 👍🏻👍🏻
The restaurant was clean and ambiance was comfortably good. 10/10
Will come back? SURE!
You have to try, cannot recommend enough.
Absolutely amazing experience everything is wonderful from the very friendly service to food to atmosphere. One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. We had the bretzel schnitzel, the cheese kransky, the creme caramel, the apple strudel and schnapps (cherry and butterscotch).
#Bavarianfood in #Melbourne!
Located within one of the heart of Docklands is HOF Downtown.
Enjoy an authentic German feast with some signature dishes including, German pork knuckle dish.
Popular Bavarian dishes like homemade pate with herbs, pretzel, cold cuts salad, honey Bavarian pork ribs.
You can’t talk about German food and culture without highlighting the quality of its beers, have some most delicious beers on tap!
This one is authentically serving some great veg ans vegan option, I was delighted with the dip platter comes with three drool worthy dips and fresh sourdough, and the mushroom gnocchi just tasted class apart.
Don’t forget to, Order up a sausage platter for group sharing, The atmosphere is one of fun and good times with a “dining in the woods” feel.
This place is in a good location and has a good atmosphere to catch up with friends.
The menu didn't speak to me too much, but the drinks were good. I went for the pomegranate cocktail and enjoyed it, even though I doubted I would.
The Kransky dish wasn't anything out of this world, but tasted good, and I wouldn't mind ordering it again.
This Bavarian bar is the place to go in Docklands area if you are looking to get your German beers fix. The venue is big with seatings indoor and outdoor, perfect for mini special occasion. The food are your typical bar food but Bavarian style. The meat Platter is the perfect introduction to the cuisine and can feed 3 - 4 people. Sausages are my favourite here.
