Editorial Review for Gustav's Bier Stube – by Bonnie Martin Fazio
In Short
The cozy German-pub ambience makes and beer selection make this a popular neighborhood spot. Standbys like burgers, onion rings and fries rise head-and-shoulders above usual bar fare, but the real star is sausage: bier sausage, weisswurst and bratwurst. Other standouts include fondue, rotisserie chicken and pork, sides such as sweet-and-sour red cabbage and a variety of schnitzels.

Gustav's Bier Stube appears to be a very popular eatery as there was a constant small crowd waiting to be seated. Luckily for us the wait was not too long and we were seated in one half of the restaurant after a few minutes. Apparently, the restaurant is split in two, one half seemed to be a family style restaurant with a roaming band of musicians and the other half had more of an upscale bar/steakhouse vibe to it. The employees were all friendly and the food was excellent Germanic fare. And, as expected from a restaurant called Gustav's Bier Stube, the beer selection was also quite good. Anyone looking for some great German food and some great beer to go with it can not do wrong going to Gustav's.
Pros: Great Food, Good Beer
Cons: The Wait, Not Enough Parking

I just went to Gustav's for the first time about a month ago. Our server was very knowledgable about their beers, many of which I'd never had, and was able to make very good suggestions on what to try. We started with two fondue's as appetizers; the crab fondue (pretty good) and the pesto fondue (excellent). Next, I tried a brat sandwich (good), with spicy coleslaw. (not much of a slaw fan, but I really enjoyed it) Everyone else I went with had nothing but good things to say about their meals. We came with a toddler, and it was nice that they had toys and crayons for kids to use at the table, although I'd say this is a better place to enjoy with other adults than with your kids. It was a good experience, and I will return!
Pros: Good food, good beer, neat atmosphere
Cons: none
