“Best in German Food in Helen, Ga! If you like German Food then you’ll love the Hofbrauhaus. The food is made to order and is outstanding, top shelf! We have been to Germany and this food is worth every dime. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The Chef was real nice! We also came back after eating in other Restaurants in Helen an found that the "Hofbrauhaus" is the only place to eat in Helen, Ga. We even had a wonderful meal there for Thanksgiving dinner, 2014. Note: If you didn’t like the food then you shouldn’t of stopped in to this fine German Restaurant! "Timing is everything when eating-out so the earlier you arrive then the better the food and service is in any Restaurant, America or in Germany!!! And so what if the server didn't know what Gluhwein was... "Its Helen, Ga for God Sakes! Buy your own wine and bring it with you next time and just have them warm it up! Da! Thanks for the good service too! The Shields family

My husband and I visited Thanksgiving weekend. The scenery from the outside was beautiful, with the river flowing and the houses facing the restaurant. The service was awful. It was close to 5 pm when we arrived and only saw 3 servers. Our server did not know what gluhwein was, and she didn't seem knew to the place! I explained to her what it was and she handed me a bottle and asked me to smell it to see if it was the right stuff! REALLY?? Top that off with her serving it less than luke warm. Then we didn't see her or anyone else again to order food if we had wanted to stay. The decor was great on the inside, lots of history. The servers need a lesson on how to do their jobs and managment needs to be on the floor monitoring the situation. We couldn't find anyone to complain to. We had to hunt down someone to give our money to.

Top-rated courtesy, very hospitable staff, and great food topped by a super location overlooking the river. We had pre-arranged (just an evening earlier) for a large group a buffet lunch. While we were an hour late after the tubing ride in the river, the staff & manager (Bonnie) were extremely friendly and had kept the food hot & ready when we trundled in as very hungry guests. The options of chilled draft beer, with pork & chicken schnitzels were a welcome treat. Not to forget some amazing freshly baked breads. All in all the German food was well prepared by the Chef and served with warm hearts.Highly recommend this restaurant, and do not forget to go there during Oktoberfest!!

Really good German cuisine made here. I love pork schnitzel with spatzle and that is what I got. The spatzle was done perfectly and the pork schnitzel was not overcooked and pretty tender. It was also not over breaded, nice touch. The service was very good as well, attentive and quick. The restaurant also has some grat views of the river and makes for a pretty good people watching experience to gaze at all the tubers going by on the river.

I think they have the best German food in Helen and you don't have to deal with the hectic scene downtown on a busy weekend. Right a long the river with a great view and a very friendly staff. One of our visits here was during Oktoberfest and the experience was the same. Great food, great beer, great service AND dog friendly.
