What People Are Saying About Gerst Haus Restaurant
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – The Gerst Haus's interior is clean and bright, with light shining through pastel glass on maize-colored walls. German-flag bunting and framed hunting scenes give a hint of the old charm. Regulars order fishbowl glasses of Gerst beer, the namesake brew, and marvel at the selection of more than a dozen taps. German classics dominate the menu, including veal Schnitzel three ways, goulash, sauerbraten and rouladen. For sides, there's sweet red cabbage and chewy spaetzle.

Worst restaurant we have ever been to!
by A Doria
This is by far the worst restaurant we have ever been to. It is dark, filthy and the food is little better than pig slop at prices fit for a king. Calling this a 'German restaurant' is an insult beyond description to the excellent German cuisine. The present owners are obviously not German. They evidently hate German food traditions with a passion. It is a riddle why the city of Nashville does not close them down. This place is not only an insult to German food but it is also an insult to the wonderful city of Nashville. Before you go to the place, please read all of the reviews, particularly the negative ones that talk about the defects of the various, pathetically poorly prepared dishes. Do you want to pay for these insults with your perfectly good money?
- Pros: The bottled beer was not warm.
- Cons: The place is dark, filthy, the food is 'soup kitchen'.

Drive from Memphis for Lunch
by HoneyLove
My Memphis family has been eating at Nashville's Gerst Haus since the 80's when they were in another location. We fondly remember the funny bathroom with the maze of hallways and three steps up to the toilet. The new location is so much better, not fancy, just comfortable. My sister and I make several trips a year just for lunch. The stroganoff is my favorite but the Berlinger Met is a close second. I usually get both then tote the rest home in a container I always bring with me. I'm normally not a beer drinker but I love the fishbowl Gerst beer. Love the cornbread cakes. Tried the Kraut Ball. Once was enough. I hear they have great hamburgers but I can never pass by my favorites to try one. We have never had a problem with service or our billing. We have found the wait staff to be very accommodating. I agree with the previous wirter, if you want fast food go to McDonalds. We will be seeing you soon Gerst Haus.
- Pros: Large portions of good food
- Cons: It's not in Memphis

Read reviews - so I checked my billing
by Prev
I read the reviews indicating diners had been overcharged, so I checked my statement. An additional $2.00 was added to the charge. While this is a small amount, we will never go back.
- Cons: Credit card over charged

If you've never seen Mongo, be prepared. Imagine a heavier Jesse Ventura in lederhosen walking up and asking you to dance.
Know Before You Go:
There really was a Gerst brewery in Nashville. The amber brew is now made in Evansville.
