Von Bismarck is a modern family style restaurant inspired by the traditions off Eastern and Northern Europe with a focus on low intervention wine and traditional beer styles. Von Bismarck aims to focus the best of the old world through a modern lens and present it in an atmosphere of conviviality and generosity. We believe communal seating and family style presentation are conducive to this end. Sharing a meal, whether with those you love or complete strangers is essential to the human experience and all of us here at Von Bismarck hope to help you on that journey.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Von Bismarck delights with authentic German flavors and "amazing" food, like the standout Smoked Fried Chicken and pretzels. Patrons love the "great" beer selection and the charming Biergarten atmosphere. While service can be hit or miss, the friendly staff and unique dining experience make it a "wonderful" choice.

    I didn’t care for the lack of comfortable table chairs and the lack of atmosphere. The silver ware was less than usable. (My knife could not cut through the cabbage). Took forever to get a glass of wine and one cocktail. The food was ok. If you go to this restaurant don’t have high expectations. You will be disappointed.

    Foods always great! Service is hit or miss (never awful) The seasoned girls servers are always the best, sadly have not had them the last few visits. Outdoors patio music should be thought out better, heavy metal punk may have been the servers choice today, but killed the outdoor vibe for our table and a few others. I do love this place, so will be back.

    We came in from out of town and stumbled upon this gem. We were in town for a week and we liked it so much we went twice. Best German food I’ve had outside of Germany!

    The food was great - Gem Salad, Spatzle with cheese, Rauchhanchen (awesome!), pork schnitzel, Wurst sampler, Kartoffelpuffer. All were delicious! The service was great - she helped pick wine that we really liked.

    My family and I tried Von Bismarck last evening. What a delightful experience! We have driven by it for years and it was on our list to try. My adult grandson was in town and we wanted to try something new. The German food was authentic and delicious. We tried several of the main dish schnitzels, the cabbage potato cakes, and the plastered potatoes. The service was efficient and friendly. Our server answered our questions about the menu and was very helpful. We ate inside because it was quite windy last night. We look forward to going again and eating outside, which has the look and feel of an authentic Biergarten in Germany.

    Great food but really bad service...also very pricy and hidden costs in tbe small print (very small). The posted prices are cash. If you pay via card there is a surcharge.
