What People Are Saying About Resi's Bierstube
The Editor

In Short – The well-shaded, 12-table beer garden is lovely in the warmer months; the interior of this German hall is nothing fancy, with 1970s wood paneling, veneer tables and bingo hall chairs. But the working-class regulars from the neighborhood--some originally from Germany--most appreciate the giant steins of great, fresh beer. While some bars stock 15 beers, Resi's has 15 Weiss (wheat) beers alone. In total, the selection includes more than 100 on tap and in bottles.

Great Place!

The Bierstube is a great place with great selections of beer and super delicious german food! Thier potato pancakes are delish and so is the cold german potato salad and hot saurkraut that comes with your meal. Great staff also, very friendly and courteous. Anyone who gives this place a bad review does not know anything about german food or german beer! Rock On Resi's...We Love You!
- Pros: Everything
- Cons: Nothing

This is a Real German Beer Garden
by glovert at Citysearch
This is a bar first and foremost, but the food is very good. You can't beat the German beer selection. Don't expect fancy dinining I see some of these other people talking about the place being cramped...it's a bar what do you want?? I don't think this guy MRJUSTICE has every eaten German food before. The German sausage is fantastic...BRATS, KNOCKWUSRT, WEISWUST . If you don't like bland German food don't order snitzel. You have to like German food... and if you don't don't order it and then bash it.
Oh yeah the beer garden is great....nice and open, quiet, relaxing.
- Pros: Beer, Sausage, Beer Garden
- Cons: The inside is a small bar

Never Go Back!

Couldn't be more DISSAPPOINTED, after earlier reviews. Tho food priced ok, was WORST German food I've eaten. Jaegerschnitzel was like a flat brick pancake (God knows what mystery meat was under breading). Kessler Rib ok, but oddly for main course didn't include soup or salad. Only potato option for both was Fried Potatoes. Couldn't even 'upgrade' to 'famous' Potato Pancakes even for $1-$2 extra. Instead, you must pay $7.95 EXTRA (given quality of other food, wouldn't waste $). Adding insult to injury, tho huge Beer selection -- BIGGEST RIPOFF ever. Bottled Weiss $6.50. Draft beer an outrageous $6.00 for .5L mug a/k/a Pint. Never paid so much for beer in my life! Finally, no dining room to speak of -- perhaps 6 or 7 cramped tables along the Bar. Entire 'dining room' is SMOKING -- and, uugh, one creep lit up a camel-dung Stogie capped it all off nicely. Never go back!
- Pros: Large Beer Selection; nice Beer Garden.
- Cons: Food horrible; Beer Grossly Overpriced; Smoking only
